Potential Causes
Tenant Name
Newer versions of the ERP, disallow Tenant names from containing "special" or "reserved" characters such as & < > * % : ; \ / ?
 However, certain older versions do allow those characters. When attempting to define a Velixo connection to a tenant which contains one or more of those characters, an error results (due to problems when accessing the data through the ERP's OData feed).
|
Generic Inquiry Names
It is also possible to use those special characters when naming Generic Inquiries in the ERP.
For example, here we see a generic inquiry whose name ends in a period:
 Just the presence of such an inquiry can make it impossible for Velixo to establish a connection to the ERP. |
Cached OData Metadata Corrupted
Another possibility is that the OData metadata cached by the system has become corrupted. Having a system administrator restart the application from the Apply Updates screen should allow the metadata to be refreshed: |
The ERP is currently unavailable
| It is possible that the ERP server is experiencing an outage. |
Resolution
Naming Issue
Within the ERP, rename any such tenant or generic inquiry so that it does not include any special characters.
examples:
|
Cached OData Metadata Corrupted
Restart the application from the Apply Updates page:  |
ERP Outage
| Attempt to navigate to your ERP. If it is not available...  ... inform your system administrator about this issue. |
