where is the customer portal?
Since last week I cannot access the customer potal with my 3DX account, it says error20 (host issues) on every link I had used like support.3ds.com kbsw.3ds.com etc
I am probably not smart enough to understand the logic of this software company or their cdn in japan is collapsed... imagine I trust them migrating all our pdm data in their cloud

I got a mail from my VAR.
SW confirmed a global network performance problem with their server and "peculiar customer networks setup and proxies"
they said that forcing the account information update PROBABLY triggered a different proxy...
I had the same problem from home, mobile and office. Now it is gone.

Re: where is the customer portal?
Months ago I had to reverify my login credential as my account was not properly migrated and blocked. Since then the problem was solved and I was accessing the KB (3ds and sw version) without issues with my shiny 3D experience account.
Since then the problem was apparently solved and I have not received any update from my VAR about updating the account or accessing the KB at all... Last month they opened a SPR and send me the link to KB and the number (that until last week was not showing up at all but this is another issue),
Then I got the following error trying from five different PC/smartphone and networks
I have to figure out WHO my security administrator is, as I am supposed to be the admin...
See you next week I go on vacation.

Now I tried all the links posted above and at some point I got a new nice error today, that require me to validate my mail again. At least it seems an improvement.https://kbsw.3ds.com/

Update:
after the error above asking for email validation (which I have not yet done)
https://kb.dsxclient.3ds.com/ is working again
https://kbsw.3ds.com/ is showning a blank page, an improvement since the error 20
I did literally nothing on my side.

Re: where is the customer portal?
back to work my VAR replied my inquiry above with:
USE CHROME
CLEAR cookies and cache
open https://support.3ds.com/knowledge-base/
send the chrome console log
fresh chrome install I got the same error page.(as expected)
before 3d experience login
according to chrome console
error 401 unauthorized
after 3d experience login
error 503 service unavailable
my VAR wants my user-password.
LOL

Do not provide and remind him that it is a very bad approach of his to ask for user passwords as a Tech Support. If he wants to see it, then have him connect to your computer with TeamViewer and then he can see it for himself.

Sounds about right...

Re: where is the customer portal?
Welp, that new customer portal certainly is a P.I.T.A....
Apparently, you can't "add" yourself to a reported bug anymore as you would previously when adding the SPR to your SPR list.
Now, even though you've figured out what the bug is and have a BR number, you still have to go through the process of creating a SolidWorks RX report to send it to your VAR so they can send it to SolidWorks. Then, SolidWorks will say if yes or no this is the same thing and if they are they will allow the VAR to assign us to the BR.
I gave my VAR the BR number and told him exactly what the bug is but the response I got from him got me a bit ticked off.
"Unfortunately we cannot attach you to a BR, we need to first diagnose the problem because Dassault has requested that we try before reaching out to them"
And they still preach that all of this is an upgrade...

Re: where is the customer portal?
this is how they are now justifing the VAR existance for the subscriptions cost as now most users don't need the VAR anymore due too so many traianing vids and forums to help people out. Don't get me wrong I used the VAR system in my early days and worked for one for 3 years but now they just don't support like they did prior to the leaving of the original SW guys. SAD it is!AlexLachance wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 11:32 am Welp, that new customer portal certainly is a P.I.T.A....
