This doc outlines a Use this list of items to check if a customer reports if you are experiencing an issue in with Aspenware Scanning. AW Scanning uses Unity just like the online commerce site Aspenware Commerce but some customers have a stand-alone instance of Unity that only the scanners use which is typically installed on an internal server in their the customer environment instead of a web server. We have commerce Unity URL’s in LastPass but we don’t have all the AW scanning URL’s listed so Because these URLs may differ from the Commerce Unity URL, it’s important to know what URL the customer is using on the scannerconfigured for the scanning app.

Instructions

Questions to ask and how to test

  1. Has the scanner been working or has it never worked?

    1. If it has been working, do they you know of anything in their the environment that has changed, or are they you currently having any network issues?

    2. If it has never worked, all settings on the scanner need to be checked.

  2. What is the Unity URL being used by the scanner? The Unity URL can be found by scanning a barcode of the word, ‘SETTINGS’ on the Login page of the app (or ‘settings’ can be typed in). This will then show a page where the WebServiceURL, ClientID and ClientSecret are entered.

  3. Can the Unity URL be entered into a browser on the device to show the API page or does an error page show? If an error page shows, it’s likely the Unity URL cannot be reached on the wireless network the device is connected to. This is likely a network issue that the customer needs to look into.

    1. The format of the URL in SETTINGS should look like this WITH the trailing slash: https://unity.aspenwarecommerce.net/UnityQA/

    2. To have the customer test entering the URL into a browser on the device, it must be entered like this: https://unity.aspenwarecommerce.net/UnityQA/index.html

    3. If the URL shows the API page (not an error page), have the customer enter the ClientID and Client Secret to make sure they are valid. Click the ‘Authorize’ button:

      1. Then enter the ClientID and ClientSecret the customer is usingbeing used

      2. Then check the following scopes (the checkboxes)

        1. service.access / access control service (usually the first one in the list)

        2. services / services (usually the last one in the list)

      3. Then click ‘Authorize’. If the credentials worked, you should see this message. If you don’t, it’s possible the wrong ClientID and ClientSecret were entered.

    4. Then to verify Unity can communicate to the RTP db, try the ‘get access locations' api call

      1. Change dropdown in upper right corner from V1 to V3

      2. Click the entry, GET - /api/Access/locations

      3. Click ‘Try it out’ and then the blue Execute button

    5. If Unity can communicate to the RTP db, you should see a list of RTP Access Locations returned. This is one of the calls the scanner makes so if this works, the scanner should work.

    6. If you see anything other than the above, it’s possible Unity can’t communicate to RTP.
