Problem description

When using the following Environment Variables together with dSPACE Release 2022-A and 2022-B, the Platform Management is not functional:

• GRPC_PROXY
• HTTPS_PROXY
• HTTP_PROXY

If at least one of the PROXY Environment Variables described above is defined, your system might be affected.

Affected dSPACE tools

All tools using the dSPACE Platform Management from dSPACE Release 2022-A and 2022-B are affected.
The dSPACE Platform Management is a Common Component for several dSPACE Products. It is installed with the product from the newest dSPACE Release that uses the Platform Management.

The following dSPACE products are using the Platform Management:

• ControlDesk
• ConfigurationDesk
• AutomationDesk
• ModelDesk
• MotionDesk
• XILApiMAPort
• PlatformManagementAPI

Solution

Set the Environment Variable NO_GRPC_PROXY to 127.0.0.1, localhost.

If there is no NO_GRPC_PROXY Environment Variable, create that Environment Variable first.
