Launch service and log in to client
Before you can connect to the objectiF RM client, the service (also known as an endpoint) must be started in the Service Manager.
The service establishes the connection between the client and the database. Projects and organisational data can only be accessed when the service is active.
Launch service
- Launch Service Manager.
- If the service is highlighted in yellow, click the Arrow button to start it.
Each service that you launch requires a server licence. If you, for example, have two server licences and create three web services, then only two of them can be launched. To start a third service, end a current service. This ensures that you have enough server licences.
Copy the service address
To connect the client to the database, you will need the service address of the running service.
- In Service Manager, select the service address and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).
This address will be entered in the client during the next step of the connection setup.
Launch objectiF RM
Launch objectiF RM via the Windows Start menu. Search directly for objectiF RM or open the microTOOL objectiF RM entry in the alphabetical list of apps.
After launching the programme, the splash screen appears first, followed by the login dialogue.
When you open objectiF RM for the first time, a welcome dialogue box appears before the login window.
Click Continue without registration here to proceed directly to the login screen.
Connect to the service
In the ‘Connect to service’ login window, establish the connection between the client and the database. Paste the link you copied earlier from the Service Manager into the ‘Service address’ field (Ctrl + V).
If other endpoints already exist, click the plus button and enter the new service address there.
If you do not know the service address, please contact your administrator.
If you created the service yourself, you can copy the address directly from the Service Manager.
Possible error messages when establishing a connection
If the connection cannot be established, please first check:
- whether the service is active (green) in the Service Manager,
- whether the service address has been entered correctly,
- whether there is a network connection to the server.
