Vault Data Standard 2018 stopped working

[Anonymous]

My company is just implementing Vault for the first time and elected to use data standard. While in process of customizing the vault, data standard just stopped working. Nothing happens whenever you try to select a new task, and some of the Vault pull down menus (tools & actions) are no longer loaded. Has anyone else seen this?

As you are saying it happened during customization, I am pretty sure that the log file tells more about the syntax error or configuration mismatch that causes the trouble. Reach out to C:\temp\dataStandardVaultlog.txt and review the content.

I found the logs and some failure messages, but not sure what they mean.

I'd help to review as you share these 😉

Attached are the oldest and latest. It actually started about Oct 18th which is when the Inventor log was taken

In both environments (Inventor or Vault) the common reason is, that PowerShell script execution is not allowed on your machine for unsigned scripts. To solve this press the Windows button, type PowerShell and right-click on Windows Powershell command window -> Run as administrator. In the ps command line enter "set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy unrestricted". In case you got the configuration shared via Email/Zip, ensure that the content isn't blocked; to do this, right-click the zip file before extraction and hit "Unblock" in case the button is shown on the properties page.

Is this on the server or client machines, or both?

[Markus.Koechl]

Client only.

It did take the change to unrestricted, but that didn't solve the issue.

It was strange because it had been working fine all morning and all of a sudden quit. IT says no updates or anything were made to the machines or server. It is the same for all client machines as well, which would make you think it was a server based issue, but we haven't found anything yet.

but you got an updated configuration, right? did you check the security block on particular ps1 files? Rightclick -> Properties -> If there is the Unblock Button visible you need to unblock each ps1 file. In case you received these as zip, unblock the zip file instead and all containing ps1 are accessible.

There were Unblock buttons on a couple of the executables and zip. After unblocking those, I uninstalled Data Standard and re-installed. Unfortunately no change.

I also found the ps1 files and they were not block either.

As it turns out someone in IT had changed the Group Policies on ps1 files as part of another project and no one with our group was aware with it. Once that was corrected, everything runs fine. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction!
