Web AppBuilder

PaigeSpee — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 17:18:41 GMT

Web AppBuilder is a configurable HTML5/JavaScript-based application that will be a new feature of ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. It will help you create web apps without having to write any code. Watch a demo of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | Esri Video presented by Esri Product Manager Julie Powell at this year's DevSummit.

When is this going to be released? I believe it was targeted for a July release.

I'm getting an incorrect username or password error despite fact that I am using a valid administrator account for my company's ArcGIS Online site.

Failure/Error on Beta2

1. Launch web app builder from startup.bat

2. Enter my portal URL - get green checkmark

3, Enter username and password

4. Get Incorrect username or password message

I was able to login doing beta 1 testing from within the web app builder application.

I am able to log in if I got to arcgis.com and also with the beta 1 version.

Any ideas ?

I tried arcgis-web-appbuilder-1.0beta2, and got the same error as Tarig. I'm using both our administrator account for my organization ArcGIS Online and my own account (Publisher role), I get the same error "Incorrect username or password".

However, arcgis-webapp-builder-1.0beta is working for me.

Tarig: Have you solved the error? Thanks

Re: Web AppBuilder

Jianxia — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 20:51:04 GMT

Hi Tarig,

To trouble shoot, could you provide the following info:

1, Which browser and version you are using

2. on which os

3. clear browser cache and log in again.

Thanks,

Jianxia

SteveXu — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 21:15:07 GMT

Hi Jianxia:

Please see my answers below along beside your questions.

Here add more findings:

After clear browser cache, and specify our organization ArcGIS online URL, and click the continue, I found it re-directed back to the specify the URL to your organization or Portal for ArcGIS page again. Please see the screen shot below:

Hope the information can help you to solve the issue why I cannot use/test ESRI Web appbuilder (arcgis-web-appbuilder-1.0beta2)?

Thank you very much.

Hi Steve,

The first image 003 is empty to me. From the second image 002, you are using IE. It seems IE 9 to me, please confirm.

If possible, could you try chrome and see if the same issue occurs? FYI, Web AppBuilder beta 2 supports IE9 and up.

Thanks,

Jianxia

Re: Web AppBuilder

SteveXu — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:11:31 GMT

Hi Jianxia:

I’m using IE 9.

I tried Chrome, and got the same error “The site’s security certificate is not trusted”. And Proceed anyway, re-direct back to ‘Specify the URL to your …’ page again.

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Web AppBuilder

Jianxia — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:21:19 GMT

Ok, It is not a browser issue then. Is Web AppBuilder installed on the local drive? or is it from a network?

Re: Web AppBuilder

SteveXu — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:26:21 GMT

It is installed on the local driver.

I just found in the starting Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS command windows
there is “Can not launch nodejs because port 3344 is used by another process!”.

I tested beta 1, I used the default port 3344. Do I need to download and
install nodejs again and set node server.js to a different port?

Thanks a lot

Re: Web AppBuilder

Jianxia — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 22:42:37 GMT

Nodejs comes with wab zip file. You don't need to install it. Two options:

1. run startup.bat file as administrator.

2. if option 1 is not working, set node server.js to a different port such as 3355 in command prompt:

enter server directory, run node sever.js -port=3355

Steve,

Beta1 does not require ArcGIS organization account to access WAB. This is a new feature in beta2. As a result, beta2 requires 3 consecutive ports to open other than 1 port in beta 1. For example, if beta2 uses port 3344 then next two ports (3345 and 3346) are also needed to open. You can use other ports for wab as long as 3 consecutive ports are open, such as 1122, 1123 and 1124, etc. One exception is port 80. If 80 is used for WAB, then only 443 port is required to open.

Since beta1 works for you, it may have something to do with ports. By default, wab uses 3344 for tcp, 3345 for http and 3346 for https. Please bring these to your IT department.

Hope this helps,

Jianxia
