Here is another classic error that I've seen over the years, its the UMRA Error "-5 access denied". Now most of us who design and develop Web Portal / Automation Scripts / or even MASS projects on a daily basis know exactly what this means, however some of our clients might not know exactly what it means of how to fix. Now, just by looking at the UMRA error, it gives you a good idea on what is wrong. However, fixing it can many things depending on when / where you get this error. So take a look below, and I hope this give you a quick fix on your projects.
UMRA Automation
You will most likely see this error in a UMRA Automation script if your trying to connect to a database, or create a home drive etc. that request some type of elevated rights on your network. UMRA Automation by default runs under the umrasvcaccount, and this account should have domain admin rights, however if your UMRA service is running under a different users credentials, then make sure the UMRA service account has the correct rights to these resources. Simple log onto the same machine that is running your UMRA service, as the account that is running the UMRA service, and try to manually connect to the Database, or create a home drive in the network resource area, you should see the windows error "Access Denied".
UMRA MASS
Now, UMRA MASS runs a bit different them UMRA Automation, hence that UMRA MASS runs under the users account who is running the UMRA MASS project. So if you see this error, ensure your account has rights to these network resources.
UMRA Web Portal
If you see this error when you are working with the UMRA COM then check the UMRA Project Security Tab settings on the project. Now, the user will not see the "-5 Access Denied" error message, most likely they will just see a blank page, or a function will not fire off. However, when you look in the UMRA Log directory, you will see the error message there.
So there you have it, a quick and easy way to fix those UMRA -5 Access Denied errors. Like always, if you have any questions, feel free to post, or send me an email.
