WebLink 8.0

Summary

When using the WebLink 8 Administrator's Utility to add a second repository configuration, you may receive the following error message:

    Warning: Unable to connect to the specified server/repository.

Resolution

Make sure that repository name and the server name are correct.

If WebLink is licensed for 1 repository, when adding a second repository configuration, WebLink will automatically populate the Server field in the Add Repository Configuration dialog box with:

    RepositoryName (ServerName)

Remove the RepositoryName portion so that only the ServerName is in the Server field.
