Question: When I try to synchronize the 'pattern & practices Library' I get an error, what might be the issue?

Answer:

You get an error "Synchronization can't connect to the online store", when your GE is not able to access the online store. The most common issue is the user might be behind a web proxy. We have fixed this issue but are yet to make an official release. The quick fix is get the latest source code from code plex site at the following location.

http://www.codeplex.com/guidanceExplorer/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx

* Once you ave download the source, extract the content
* Go to the guidanceExplorer\OfflineClient\GuidanceExplorerNT\ folder
* Open the Guidance Explorer Solution by double clicking the GuidanceExplorer.sln
* Build the soultion, copy all the files from bin directory to bin direcory of your Guidance Explorer instance.
* Open the GuidanceExplorer.exe.config for editing and add the web proxy server IP address as follows, please ensure you specify the port as well.

		 <applicationSettings>
		    [<GuidanceExplorer.Properties.Settings>]
		      <setting name="GuidanceExplorer_OnlineGuidance_OnlineStorage"
		          serializeAs="String">
		        [<value>http://209.34.241.10/net20/OnlineStorage.asmx</value>]
		      </setting>
		      <setting name="GuidanceExplorer_OnlineGuidance_OnlineStorage_WebProxy"
		          serializeAs="String">
		        <value>*0.0.0.0.0:80*</value>
		      </setting>
		    [</GuidanceExplorer.Properties.Settings>]
		  </applicationSettings>  
	

* Start the GE and it should be able to connect to the online store.
