I tried 1.11.1, 1.12.0 and 1.13.0.
1.11.1 and 1.12.0 - same error
1.13.0 - error in "Connecting and filling application structures" on QSEoW Feb 2024

[Daniel_Larsson]

ah yes 1.13.0 might not work towards older version of Sense, it was just release in tandem with QSEoW Nov 2024 release, and some api's changed. Versions before that should work though, and If it's QSEoW Feb 2024, then v1.11.0 should definitely work as that's the version released at same time. 

Please try the scheduler from command line with the -g though as per previous post, so we can narrow down where the issue is.

[BuTbka]

Now it works from the command line

But from GUI the same error.

and in the log

[Daniel_Larsson]

Ok so we reduced it to be an issue between GUI and scheduler.exe

I had a look at the code and it seems port 6263 is fixed. Can you have a look if this is already occupied by something else. On windows could be done with something like (in cmd):

netstat -ano|find ":6263"

[BuTbka]

No, nothing

Hi Daniel,

I'm experiencing an issue with the scalability tools. I successfully established a connection and populated the app structure.

However, when I create the scenario, the executor returns the following error: JSONValidateError: app list<[]> not valid for mode<guid>.

I also tried using the app name, but the problem persists. The log shows the following:

Could you please help me resolve this ERRORTypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ExecuteFunction') error?

Regards,

Gopi

[Daniel_Larsson]

seems you have created a empty entry in the applist, remove it by clicking the X

[Giovanni_Civardi]

is may 2025 supported (or at list working)? I can successfully connect via ModHeader extension to the header virtual proxy but got this error when validating connection from QSEST. Thank you.
