1. Replace ACES signature Template Form 

  1. Get new PDF with new signature from client. They will probably have to go to Forms group and ask for the latest version of this file: http://tcapps/Corp-Serv-Gen/5/Forms-Formulaires/formcontact/82-0662/1903-20/BI/PA
  2. Follow the step on /wiki/spaces/MAR/pages/188940305 to get xdp file generated from PDF sent by Forms group.
  3. Update generated xdp file with 64bit-encoded string from PDF sent by Forms group.
  4. Upload xdp file onto ACES server and test them one by one to make sure it is right.

    DEV: \\tcapps2mssdev\wwwfiles\aces\Certificates

    ACC: \\webdatatest\wwwfiles\ACES\Certificates

    PROD: \\webdata\wwwfiles\ACES\Certificates

  5. If updating the 82-0662 form, rename your xdp file to SIC001.xdp so it is recognized by ACES. Also a good idea to keep the old one and append the current date to end of file so we know when it was changed.

2. How to turn on error message on Client side

issue: sometimes user will see following message when tries to connect server 

"An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator. If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more about this error."
This error message does not show any useful information to help debug. In order to debug, we can remote access to server, open IIS manager -> find application site -> update site to send full error details to browser (IIS - go to site's ASP settings - set Send Errors to Browser to TRUE).
