i have browsed this forum and tried some of the suggestions to no avail, i can't get this thing to work and the weird part is that beofre buying i donwloaded an eval version and tried and it worked fine but something must have happened because now whether i use a licnesed or unlicensed version i can't get PAU to get passed the server discovery step.
My farm is not an upgrade from PS4. it is PS45 with RP3. i know i have all the requirements met and here is the error:
See the end of this message for details on invoking

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
if you can help i would greatly appreciate it
Eli
yes i am pretty sure it's a PA but i have over 300 PAs, no streaming apps or content just installed apps. the log stops at discovering the last server.
i ran farm reporter, that enumerated apps but failed just before the end, i can see the apps but how do i know which one is problematic?
Eli
Best way to find on which one it crashes is to have a look in the log file, (fase_log.txt) , maybe you could paste the relevant part in here. The part of the log file just before crashing!
if you give me an email address i will send you the log but there is nothing of relevance in it. the last application it queries is valid because it can read it. the application it is querying after that i believe is the problem but there is nothing to show which app that is.
i also tried removing totally the last application in the log thinking that was it and ran reporter again, this time it stopped at the application that was before the one i deleted :) so the issue is the next app it is trying to query.
any other ideas?
Eli
You are right,
The last application in the log, is the last succesful one, so the next one must be the one with the problem.
There are several ways to determine which one is the next!, Most simple one is to open the management console, and see which one is next.
The order of the applications in the Citrix management console, should be the same as the order of the applications in our tools.

With DSview you can also determine which application is next!
i found which application was next, i even deleted it completely and no luck! PAM will only see the servers and will crash when it starts to read the apps. Reporter will read the apps up to a certain app and then spits an error. i have removed every app after the last app reporter can scan and still no luck
here you go:
Data Store Validation Utility. Version: 6.23

Can't read package info from data store.
Can't read package info from data store.
Finished data store validation.
Please note i do not use Installation Manager
Eli
no but i can email it to you if you give me an email email address. However you will only see a list of CTX servers that it found with the header saying it is licensed and what farm it is connected to etc... there is nothing in there but give me an email and i will send it to you
Okey,
So right after PAU found the last server 'MPCTXICON01', the first application it runs into makes PAU crash?,
Is that correct?
Have you also tried a DSCHECK /CLEAN?
Also, we are pretty shure it's a defective application within your farm, we have to find out which one(s) it are. We have seen PAU run succesfully on so many farms now, we are allmost sure it has to a defective published application in your datastore...
You said the free version did run correctly, can you remember there being any changes to pusblished apps since then?
An other way to determine the application order is:
qfarm /app
We havent heard from you in a while, so we assume you solved the problem!
We had simelair problems with other people. This is usually an indication that a published application is corrupted. You can find in the log which application fails. (my documents)
We think the best thing you can do is to try a 'dscheck'. You can find documentation on 'dscheck' the on the Citrix site.
http://support.citrix.com/search/basic/?searchQuery=dscheck&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0
Let us know how that goes!
Kind regards,
Gourami support!
