Connectivity issues

In version 4.5, the Micro Focus Connect service's default configuration requires Internet connectivity.

For on-premises installations without Internet connectivity, perform these steps for both Windows and Linux operating systems:

  1. Make sure the Micro Focus Connect service has been started at least once.

  2. Stop the service. For details, see Start or stop a connection.

  3. Download the moment.min.js file from the Cloudflare site.

  4. Place the downloaded file in the resources folder, <MF Connect install dir>\WebServer\webapps\ConnectWeb\resources. If you cannot find the folder, make sure that you have started the service at least once and wait for the WAR deployment process to complete.

  5. In a text editor, open the <MF Connect install dir>\WebServer\webapps\ConnectWeb\app.json for editing.
  6. Search for the following text (there are no line breaks):

    "js":[{"path":"app.js"},{"remote":true,"path":"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.4/moment.min.js"}]

  7. Change the remote value from true to false.

    "remote": false,

  8. Change the path from:

    path": "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.4/moment.min.js"

    to

    path": "resources/moment.min.js":

  9. Repeat these edits in the <MF Connect install dir>\WebServer\webapps\ConnectWeb\app.jsonp file.

Support requests

To facilitate the routing of Micro Focus Connect support requests, follow these guidelines:

  • SaaS. If the OpenText product you are trying to synchronize using Micro Focus Connect is deployed as a SaaS service, go to the SaaS My Account site and click the Support tab. Add "Connect" to the title and description.

  • On-premises. If the OpenText product you are trying to synchronize using Micro Focus Connect is deployed on-premises, go to the Support site and select the product under support—not Connect. Choose "Connect" as the sub-product. We recommend that you also add "Micro Focus Connect" as a prefix for the case title and to the top of the case description.
