Cyclone Enterprise Service shut down

Post by Devon>biermannBosch »

Has anyone else experienced the problem of their Cyclone Enterprise Service shutting down when logging off the server?
Jetstream never did this. The service would continue.

So far the only solution has been to stay logged in and this is a network security issue.

We never had that problem when running our prototype on Azure last year. But it wasn't with the newest release. We are awaiting our new EID.
Our system was entirely on Azure and the service ran continually, but it is a different animal from Jetstream which ran previously. The service is not really visible in the service management window and you have to use Leica's tool in the Tray to stop and start the services

And that seems to be the problem. It runs as a program and not a service.
For Azure, i believe you just log out of the portal accessing it. You never actually log off or do anything to close the program. (Example would be opening a txt document. log out of the portal and log back in. if the text is still open, then you never securely logged off)

Let me know if you are able to test that.

Now I understand what you are saying...that may be an issue for us also as far as security.
I am wondering whether you need to set up security on the server connection itself. Is this on an internal industry/organizational network or to serve the outside source (not permitted to come inside your organizational network?
Our Consultant had set up so that only certain IP addresses could log into the Azure server and those IP's had to be within the Domain of the County. In other words I could not log in from my lap-top from my home office. I had to VPN into the County Network (with all it's security protocols) and then use my workstation inside the County Network device to manage the login to the server.
This did not pertain to the user logins that were setup and controlled by the permissions module (USER ID's and PAssword) of the Enterprise Management

Thats all correct.

My findings are the following.

The tool to start the webservice is CycloneEnterpriseLauncher (see image)

The tool that hosts the web server on port 5050 is node

Node.js is a javascript opensource webserver

Currently the Cyclone ENTERPRISE launcher is not a service. :( The CycloneEnterpService.bat that should install the service has this code:

SchTasks /Create /F /TN "CycloneEnterprise" /XML "C:\Program Files\Leica Geosystems\Cyclone Enterprise\CycloneEnterprise.xml"
icacls "C:\Program Files\Leica Geosystems\Cyclone Enterprise" /grant Users:(OI)(CI)F
schtasks /Run /TN "CycloneEnterprise"

The key point here is, that the system does not use actual services, even internally. Services are not used by CycloneEnterpService. Thats a big design flaw. :(

Not so good:
Now, one may launch this tool manually and click the Start Server button. :(

The next best thing is to create a Windows Task Scheduler entry and just launch it at startup.

You will face one important Problem, the CycloneEnterpriseLauncher is starting but it is not Status Running.
So again you need to manually click, for it to run. :shock:

But there is a final workarround, the devs included a Parameter in the CycloneEnterprise.xml 8-)
This Parameter is passed to the CycloneEnterpriseLauncher and what does it do, what is the parameters name?

Well it is: /autostart :D

& "C:\Program Files\Leica Geosystems\Cyclone Enterprise\CycloneEnterpriseLauncher.exe" /autostart

Now all thats to do, create a Windows Task Scheduler Task with the path the exe and the param.

i know this helped. i like to solve actual business problems every day. any help appreciated, as i dont have anyone or anything irl.
my eth donation addr therefore is 0x3Bb6C20917F9D88A6148EeDC463a1E9d13d95960
