Troubleshooting Steps for Web-based Clients

Issue Workaround
If you have logged in to Operations Hub, and then if you try to access Web-based Clients, and vice versa, an error occurs. This is because the user credentials of the first application to which you have logged in are used to log in to the other one as well. Try one of the following options:
  • Add the scopes of each application user to the other application.
  • If you log in to Web-based Clients first, on the login page of Operations Hub, re-log in with the Operations Hub user. If you log in to Operations Hub first, log out of Operations Hub, log in to Web-based Clients, and then log in to Operations Hub, using the credentials of the respective users for each application.
Even after installing Web-based Clients, you cannot access Configuration Hub. Start the GE Operations Hub Httpd Reverse Proxy and the Data Archiver services.
When you upgrade to Historian 9.1, after installing Web-based Clients, a message asking you to restart the machine does not appear. Because of this, sometimes, you cannot access Web-based Components such as Configuration Hub, Trend Client, the Web Admin console, and REST APIs. Restart the machine, or start the following services:
  • GE Historian PostgreSQL Database
  • GE Historian Tomcat Server
  • GE Operations Hub Httpd Reverse Proxy
  • GE Operations Hub UAA PostgreSQL Database
  • GE Operations Hub UAA Tomcat Web Server
  • GE UAA External IdP Configuration Service
  • GE Security App Service
