FAQ for installation issues

  • Q: Installer stops with error like “service already exists”.
  • A: The old Connector service called “MaventaService” already exists and needs to be removed manually. Follow these steps:
  1. Run (as as admin) the command “services.msc” or browse to the Windows Services Management. See if “Maventa Connector Service” is listed. If it’s running, stop it.
  2. Open an admin command prompt and run the command: sc DELETE MaventaService
  3. Reboot computer might be a good idea here
  4. Launch new Connector installer which should now be able to pass

Security

Connector’s security depends 100% on the OS security and folder privileges that it is running on. Connector client program moves documents between a folder and Maventa API using HTTPS same as all other ERP traffic. As the client program only makes API calls and copies files between API and folder and is triggered from the OS side there are no additional security aspects to consider as there are no incoming ports the software listens to. All local users that are given access to the filesystem that contain the configuration files can read the contents (API keys) thus the application should be protected from the OS side users using folder permissions. The program is using an old framework so software framework itself is outdated and this should be taken into consideration when thinking about using it.
