NPrinting 17.2.1 Engine always offline

[pgrenier]

Hello,

Maybe someone here can help with this installation process.

We are currently trying to set up an environment with Qlik NPrinting 17.2.1 but the Engine service is always offline.

The name of the server has been respected, the credentials are good.

Here is what can be read in the log file:

Can someone make any sense of this?

Hello,

I cannot decipher the meaning of this puzzle that gets logged when trying to start the NPrinting Engine service:

An error occurred while attempting to automatically activate registration 'Activator = Engine (ReflectionActivator), Services = [Qlik.NPrinting.Common.Engine.IEngine, Qlik.NPrinting.Engine.IHasEngineConfiguration, AutoActivate], Lifetime = Autofac.Core.Lifetime.RootScopeLifetime, Sharing = Shared, Ownership = OwnedByLifetimeScope'. See the inner exception for information on the source of the failure. ---> An exception was thrown while invoking the constructor 'Void .ctor(Autofac.Features.Indexed.IIndex`2[System.Type,Qlik.Printing.Producer.IComposer], Qlik.NPrinting.Common.Messages.IContentProductionRabbitTopology)' on type 'EngineCompositionService'. ---> The boundedCapacity argument must be positive.??Parameter name: boundedCapacity??Actual value was 0. (See inner exception for details.) (See inner exception for details.)

Did anyone experience this before?

Is there a solution that can be applied?
