DLMSDirector

Hi,
I'm using DLMS Translator, running from GXDLMSDirector -> Tools.
The application is very helpfull for me, but now is not possible to use it. It's falling down.
I used it in the past without problem. Mayby installation of new version ?
My version is 8.2.2112.1601

It's going through two error messages, application completely fall down at the end.
The first message comes, when I start DLMS Translator from menu.
The second message comes, when I choose "Translate" from menu DLMS Translator.
There is my translation of error messages:
Message 1 "Pointer to object is not set on object instance".
Message 2 "Unresolved exception......"

Thank you in advance,
Zdenek

Hi,

Hi,

I can't repeat your error but select Ciphering settings. Then check that Security Suite and security are selected. I believe one of your dropdown lists is not empty and it's causing this problem.

Hi,

Hi,

Ciphering tab is missing. Can you select "Help" and "Library Versions". Can you add your version information here? I'll check this on Monday.

Hi,

Hi,

Are you getting the error when you open Translator? The only reason for this is if you can't create Certificates or Keys folder under MyDocuments\GXDLMSDirector. Can you check if those folders exists?

You should see those orders if you Select "File" and "Open" in GXDLMSDirector. If you can't see them, try to create them by yourself.

BR,
Mikko

Hi,

Hi,
unfortunately no success.
- folders Cerificates and Keys was already exist. I deleted them. I started Translator, both folders were created automatically, but empty.
- uninstal (of GXDLMSDirector) & install procedure also without success.
- The first error message I got when I start Translator. Message 1 "Pointer to object is not set on object instance".
Thank you and best regards.

Hi,

Hi,

The reason is solved. The new version is released and you should see it when you restart GXDLMSDirector. Thank you for pointing this out. It was a little bit hard to find, but it was easy to fix.
