Newly installed instances of LiteSpeed are not automatically showing up in the Central Repository. (4236231)

Newly installed instances of LiteSpeed are not automatically showing up in the Central Repository.

The only way to get a new instance of LiteSpeed to show up in the Central Repository is to wipe out the '.list' files and reopen the Console.

Console does not update the list of registered SQL servers when set to "central" view.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Setup  a console to use "central" view.
2.  Note the servers displayed.
3. Install Litespeed to a new SQL instance and setup the instance to report to the same central repository in step 1.
4. Run a backup on the server setup in step 3.
5. Refresh the LS console used in Step one.
6. Note servers listed.

Actual Results: The console does not update the "central" list.

Workaround:

Please follow these steps on the computer running the console that has this problem.
Please note this is an issue with the console running on that computer. Not an issue with the process of registering a SQL instance.

1. First place the console in "local" view and close it.
2 . Then navigate to the below location and delete any file with this format (No need to save the file. The Litespeed console will rebuild it)

EXAMPLE Location
C:\Users\<windows account>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\LiteSpeed

EXAMPLE FILE:

central_centralservername_LiteSpeedCentral.list

3. Review the below file also located in C:\Users\<windows account>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\LiteSpeed

LiteSpeedConsole.settings

At the bottom of the file should be a section like this.
(note that "profilemode" is set to local. It should be after step 1 above was completed. If not close the file and complete step one above before proceeding)

<ProfileMode>Local</ProfileMode>
<BackgroundProcessingPanelDock>Right</BackgroundProcessingPanelDock>
</Formyserver>
</Settings>


4. Reopen the Litespeed console and select "central" view.

The view should now be correct.

Status:

Waiting for fix in a future release of LiteSpeed.
