Troubleshooting
I launched the DOF e-Repository application, but it looks like nothing is happening.
The application may take several seconds to load. The progress bar letting you know that it’s being launched is typically behind your Citrix window.
Minimize the Citrix window to see the progress.
When the launch is complete, the OnBase window for the e-Repository appears.
I minimized my On-base window and I’m not sure how to get it back.
Windows: Look for a duplicate IE icon in the Taskbar. When you roll your mouse over this icon, it should display a Princeton University OnBase preview.
Click the IE icon to continue your open session.
OR
MAC: Look for the Citrix Viewer icon in the Dock. When you roll your mouse over this icon a Citrix Viewer label should appear.
Click the Citrix Viewer icon to continue your open session.
I’m getting an error message when I try to open the DOF e-Repository: "You already have an instance of this application open..."
You will see this message if you previously launched the e-Repository and the session is still open or is still in the process of closing.
Click OK to close the error message box To determine if the session is still open:
Windows: Look for a duplicate IE icon in the Taskbar. When you roll your mouse over this icon, it should display a Princeton University OnBase preview.
OR
MAC: Look for the Citrix Viewer icon in the Dock. When you roll your mouse over this icon a Citrix Viewer label should appear.
Click the Citrix Viewer icon to continue your open session.
I closed my session. I don’t see an icon in the Taskbar or Dock indicating that it’s open, but I’m still getting a "You already have an instance of this application open..." message when I try to launch the application.
It is likely that the session is in the process of closing, but has not yet completed. This can happen if you just closed a session and you are trying to reopen it immediately afterward. Wait a few minutes for the session to finish closing and then try again.
Remember: If you have problems or questions when installing or using Citrix Receiver or the DOF e-Repository please contact the OIT Solutions and Operations Center (SOC) via phone 258-HELP (258-4357) or email
