Workshop Tools menu includes entries like Reload Director proxy, and process templates are grayed out


Product

  Prinergy 3.x

Platform

 

Macintosh

Operating system

 

OS X


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Process templates are visible in the Process menu, but grayed out

Tools menu contains entries like Reload the Directory Proxy.

See attached screenshot (link below).


Cause

  Sometimes the folder /Library/Application Support/Creo already exists (due to other Kodak (Creo) software being installed.)

At other times, this folder will have odd user rights that the Workshop installer has trouble resolving, and therefore it cannot copy the required files to that location. Because of this, Process templates don't show up in Prinergy Workshop. The Tools menu shows Reload DFE Proxy.


Solution

 

There are three possible solutions:

1. using the Mac Disk Repair utility's Verify Disk Permissions will often solve this problem. Then re-install Workshop.

2. Remove all traces of the Creo folder structure and reinstall from an administrator account.

3. Copy the following files from ClientAutoUpdate\UpdateFilesOrig (on the server) to Workshop\Contents\Resources\Preferences (on the client):

- Automation.dfeproxy

- Director.dfeproxy

- Prinergy.dfeproxy

- Simulator.dfeproxy

Permanent fix:
