Vault 2014 client: Object not set to an instance of an object

Hi.

 

Trying to test Vault 2014 environment after recent upgrade.

 

The setup is like:

ADMS Basic 2014 on a fresh 2008r2-SP1 box.

Test client on a W7-machine.

Both the server and the client has Vault 2014 SP1 and hotfix 2 installed.

The Vault is running as a Content Center only, with single user project files, and the environment uses ProductstreamProfessional to manage the file store.

 

Here´s the problem.

When I try login to Vault client as "Content Center read only User", i get the error "Object not set to an instance of an object"

When I login as administrator, everything works fine, and I can place parts from Content Center.

 

I tried to rename the folder C:\users\<user>\appdata\autodesk.  When starting Inventor the folder reappears with new files, but the error still remains.

 

What else can I do?

Hi Gunnar,

This is a known issue.  Please create a Vault user, CCUSER for example.  Give it content center editor rights, and assign the user to the out of the box vault as a Vault Consumer  (so they aren't tempted to check things into the vault database) and have them login using this one user account.

That´s what I did, but the common user should not have CC editor rights in this case

The company has a standards department which takes care of all CC updates.

 

Thank You for answering.

I just posted a similar post - then found this. Sorry for multiple postings.

The issue I find with this solution, it consumes a license. Correct me if I'm wrong, but logging in as Content Center library read only user does not consume a license. We have a Vault project with a half doezens users, and many more projects and users that use Vault for the Content Center only.
