Installation Error - Remote Site Setting

[Thainternut]

I just installed DLRS in my Sandbox and am getting errors with creating the Remote Site Setting. I saw similar issues (#102 and #110), but still no resolution. I had to create the Remote Site Setting manually because the button would not work and am now receiving the error message:

Unable to connect to the Salesforce Metadata API.
Web service callout failed: WebService returned a SOAP Fault: INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS: Insufficient access; cannot execute Metadata operation with PAC enabled session id faultcode=sf:INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS faultactor=

Thanks in advance for your help.

There is some discussion on this here, certinia/apex-mdapi#6. Can you also go to the Installed Packages page and click the package then check the API Access field?

Let me know if your still having this and we can re-open. 👍

Hi Andrew,

I see you closed this discussion and linked to certinia/apex-mdapi#6 instead. I read through that and I'm not sure I see an answer to this issue.

I have DLRS 2.9 installed and working in my production environment. We've been using it since version 1.1 in mid-2014.

A couple of months ago created a Partial Copy sandbox. When I did, I had to add a Remote Site Setting in the sandbox to allow access to the Salesforce Metadata API for my organization. I believe I used the "Create Remote Site Setting" button on the DLRS setup screen, and that it worked, but I can't remember for sure now because it was a while ago. I got it working properly in my Partial copy sandbox and I was happy!

Recently I refreshed the data in my Partial copy and now I'm getting the same message--that I need to add a remote site setting to allow access to my organization's Salesforce Metadata API. This time when I tried the button in the DLRS screen it didn't work.

Can you please let me know what I need to do to set this up by hand? I'm happy to provide more details/screenshots if they would be helpful. Thanks.

@kopperwoman if you navigate to Remote Site Settings in setup, you'll find a site setting named "dlrs_mdapi." I would just delete that and then use the Create Remote Site Setting button in DLRS again. Should work, let us know.

Hi @aheber that did the trick! I deleted dlrs_mdapi from the remote site settings list and used the button to create a new one, no problems at all. Thanks for your quick response.

I'm having the same issue. However, I had set up a remote site and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden it does not work anymore. I tried deleting it and adding a new one with the site they provide, but I'm still getting a error message.
