when installing a new server or troubleshooting issue(s) critical in nature that require immediate attention.


Please Note:


  • The BioConnect "Console" window is not meant for long term production as the debugging window operates slowly and has an impact on software speed an operation for other users.
  • The BioConnect "Console" window cannot be run at the same time as the normal BioConnect Services. This is because the console window operates on the same port(s) are the normal services. These services must be stopped before running this debugging window, see how to restart BioConnect services for more details on how stop the services.
