Synchronizing Dataplugins with the DataFinder instance has failed

[Kevin_McG]

As the title reads, I am being shown a general error when manually triggering the synchronization of dataplugins from the "Configure DataFinder Connection" window.

This had worked in the past and was the primary way I'd share dataplugins with my team. I am unsure if a change made by my organization's IT could be causing this issue.

Any suggestions?

Hi Kevin_McG,

This function works only for VBS DataPlugins. As not for C++ DataPlugins and as far as I remember also not for DataPlugins installed with the NI Package Manager.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the dataplugins I'm trying to sync are all custom VBS, which I made myself, and have set up on the DataFinder server.

The sync functionality was working previously but I'm not aware of any change that would have been made to cause this to occur.

Which DataFinder version are you using?
Has the DataFinder version been changed between the time it was working and no longer working?

Greetings

I'm using SystemLink 2022 Q1. This upgrade was done well before the issues began and I am unaware of any other changes. It is extremely unlikely someone else made a change, which is why I am stumped.
