Problem connecting to update center

hi all

I'm using eDesigner on Windows 2003 server and Im trying to update it to get all modules using update center but Im getting the following error

Unable to connect to the update center server, check proxy server or try again later, the server may be unavailable at this time

I checked the proxy and repeated my tries on different times but this didn't work is there any other way to get these updates.

thanks in advance

Try to use IP address instead of hostname. BTW, what do you mean by "I checked proxy"? Do you have a proxy between repo and ED or not?

SUN site? What are you trying to do?

You use update center in eDesigner in two cases: after installing ED you connect via update center to repository and you update it with all components instaled in repository (ie. eWays modules). Second time it is when you later install something new to repository and you need your ED to know about it (ie. when you later install some eWays you have to update ED otherwise you will not be able to use them).

Update center in ED is nothing like "get me latest version of ED available from Sun"...

I've seen this happen when eDesigner was downloaded and installed from one repository but used against another. I've been able to rectify it by performing the following steps:

Open a Command prompt

cd to the edesigner installation directory

Delete the file named logincache.cache

cd to the edesigner/bin directory

Type runed <hostname> <portnum> <repository>

Sign on to the repository if prompted

Open the "Tools" menu and select "Update Center"
