Sample troubleshooting guide for app startup errors
When an OpenFin-based application fails to start, an OpenFin error dialog box appears with information about the error.
Application providers can configure aspects of this dialog box via properties in the supportInformation
object in the application manifest.
Among these options, you can specify a URL for "troubleshooting steps," in the moreInfoUrl
option.
The information below provides sample troubleshooting steps that you can adapt to create your own page to link from the error dialog box.
You can use the information below as a starting point, which you can customize based on your environment.
Troubleshooting steps
