Troubleshooting
Initial Replication Failed
If initial replication failed verify the URL and vessel authorization key are correct. To try initial replication from the beginning follow the below steps:
Open Windows Service from the Start menu of your computer, locate VeslinkOnboard and stop the service.
From a file explorer navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\VeslinkOnboard where the data base and logs are stored for Veslink Onboard. Delete the two files labeled “onboard.mdf” and “onboard_log.ldf”
Open Google Chrome and clear all browsing history data including cookies and your cache.
From Windows Services restart the VeslinkOnboard service.
Try to follow the steps to do the initial load again.
If this continues to fail forward the most recent log file in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\VeslinkOnboard to your administrator for investigation.
