Help! I don't seem to be able to read any GS2 data anymore. I have tried with both application and yield data and my jobs just aren't showing. I have tried with data that used to read in just fine. I am on Farm Works Office 2012.03.717, Greenstar2 and 3 data driver 4.0.4.0 and FODM runtime 3.11.0.9 Am I correct in thinking that I still need to browse to setup.fds in the RCD folder for GS2 data? Thanks for investigating. Let me know if you need any sample data cards!

1. on help, check for updates, remove the tick from 'check for updates at startup'
2. close and restart farm works
3. You can read GS2 yeild data

4. put the tick back in 'check for updates at startup'
5. close and restart farmworks
6. You now cannot read GS2 yield data

7. remove the tick. All works again.

I have tested this on two machines here and can repeat the problem

Cheers,

Just a quick question ]]> jopeters Office - MappingWed, 04 Apr 2012 19:44:44 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,66795,67211#msg-67211 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,66795,67211#msg-67211
Got it. Will have a go at this when the customer is at his computer (I think we will remote support this one!)

Cheers

Just sent you an email with some instructions. Let me know when you get it, ok?

I've sent an e-mail with link to download GS2 card and further info. The GS3 card is much larger, so let me know if you want me to send data/ screen shots.

Thanks

I will do some testing here. Can you email me a screenshot of the Folder/file structure of each of the ones you are trying to import?

Thanks

I now have 2 customers who are having difficulties getting the GS2 and GS3 harvest and application jobs to show in the read jobs data window.

I have finally managed to duplicate the problem. If I delete my farmworks.ini file and get the software to create a new one, then I can't see any of the GS2 or GS3 jobs that were showing quite happily before. I am definitely browsing to the exact same location as I did before I deleted my ini file (I know this because I didn't delete it, just renamed it, so I can switch between the 2).

Any suggestions on making the jobs reappear would be greatly appreciated. I assume that some simple editing of the ini file will probably fix it in the short term.

Hope that you are also able to see what I am seeing. Let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks

The customer is having problems with both GS2 and GS3 data. Neither of them show him any jobs in the Read Job data window.

I have just tried his GS2 card and that works fine for me. I have told him to try reinstalling the updates for Office, FODM and GS2 and 3 to see if it solves the problem. (his system reports that he is on the latest version of everything). I have also sent him instructions for data structure of GS3 and where to point the program (as I suspect that he is reading it off his harddrive and not directly from the data card). He is a proficient Farm Works and computer user, so we can hopefully get this one figured out without too much of a problem.

I won't worry about the GS2 data that I have that doesn't work - it is old data that isn't required anymore - so not worth fixing unless someone else has a problem. From memory, it may have been cotton data.

I have noticed that sometimes, if you are using a data driver for the first time, it doesn't show the jobs. I am not sure what makes it then show them again - but eventually after clicking around different data drivers, cancelling the read job data box and/or browsing to different places, possibly even closing the software and going back in - they then appear. It has happened a couple of times to me, but I didn't notice exactly what I did to sort it out - they just appeared, when they weren't there before.

One more comment - populating the jobs list is REALLY REALLY slow! Much slower than it used to be. I get quite a lot of calls from people who say they can't read in their John Deere data because their PC has crashed - when in fact it is just reporting that it is not responding while it populates the list. You need to include instructions to go away and make a cup of coffee (and maybe bake a cake) when reading in John Deere data!

I'll keep you posted.

If you have any instructions for what else to do to work out why this customer is unable to see the GS2 and 3 data, please chip in.

Thanks

Yes, I had sticky fingers - am on .517 :)

I have had a bit more of a play around and have discovered that I have some data that does work, and some that doesn't. As this was brought to my attention by one particular customer, I will get him to send me his data and take a look at it, before sending it through to you.

I'll let you know how and when I have sent it.

Thanks

I think the .717 was a typo and that you are on .517, right? Yes you do need to browse for the setup.fds to import. If you can send me one of your files that will not import, we'll start there and if I am able to import, we'll then take it further to see why you are unable to.

If you are uploading as opposed to emailing it, just drop me an email when you have done so.

Thanks
