Well, I just noticed I'm not running the last webinterface version, and that the LDAPS checkbox is available in the most recent one. I'll take care of the upgrade asap, but we need to test some workflows before.
Is there a configuration file where I can check and change the "use ldaps" option? The certificates were already imported to the Trusted Root CA and Intermediate CA of the server machine, so it should not be a certificate issue, I suppose.

@rlima Sure you can hack config but it would have no effect as the code that processes the config is missing.
You can run multilple webint versions on same host, unzip new version in separate folder, copy config from old to new and hack config t change listen port before starting new server.exe.. Just dont install the service yet. When you tested everything, stop service, rename webint folders so new has foder name of old and start service, change port and restart service.
If you hack install_service.bat and choose new service name, you can even have both versions as service.

I usually try to keep it backward compatible so hopefully the upgrade will be easy for you.
emcodem, wrapping since 2009 you got the rhyme?

Dears,
i really want to publish a new release and update the main download links finally, hundred of small changes have been done (and a few bigger ones) and the current alpha and beta versions should be much better than the one we currently have in download section.

Please, if you can, try out this "Beta" build and let me know your results.
https://github.com/emcodem/ffastrans_we ... 0.277-beta

This is also the first version that updates the database binary and there is currently no way of importing the old job history, i'll maybe skip that because its a lot of work to support import of old database.
For testing you can just stop your current webinterface, copy the database/config file over to the new one and start the new for playing around. The new Version also should import all jobs that are currently in the ffastrans job directory on startup (instead of only last 100).
You can of course also run old and new version on the same host, just make sure to change the LISTEN ports of webint and API server in the database/config file before you start the new version.

Hi, emcodem!
Thank for the update.
I tried to perform a clean installation (excluding the database\config file)

Here's how the new version works for me:
- A pop-up window appears in the upper-right corner saying “Background process: Fetched xxx out of 4765 missing jobs...”

Some time later:
- Once it reaches 4765 only a small portion of the jobs (290) appeared in “History”
- Then again a pop-up window appears in the upper-right corner saying “Background process: Fetched xxx out of 724 missing jobs...”
- Once it reaches 724 - still 290 appeared in “History”
- Running workflows are not displayed in the “Running” grid

@DCCentR
thanks a lot for giving it a shot! The issues did not appear for me because i only tested on my dev pc where its all on nvme, so even 100k jobs was too fast for the same issues to reveal. Not displaying running jobs seemed to happen only while the backlog import was slow. Now i tested on UNC and optimized the initial job import:

I deleted several hundred completed jobs (some successful, some with errors) from the History and about the same number from Running (using `abort`), and I ended up with an endless loop of these messages:

It’s been many hours now, but these messages keep coming. I tried restarting the web interface and API services - it didn’t help.

Any ideas on how to get rid of them?)
