If you're unable to display your client list or their details

Are your clients not appearing in the Clients list, or you're seeing errors like these when attempting to load your clients list?

  • There's nothing wrong with your AE/AO Live, but one of the services at your business is not running...
  • Sorry, we can't load your clients. Your MYOB OnTheGo API service may have stopped running...

Start here:

  • Log out of MYOB Practice and then log back in.
  • Wait a few minutes and try what you were doing again (if there's an issue at our end, it's usually resolved within a few minutes).

If your clients still don't appear, here are some things you can try. The steps to follow depend on whether your practice has activated Contacts Migration (sync).

 

UI Expand
titleIf you have activated Contacts Migration
  1. Go to Maintenance > Maintenance Map > Online > Practice my.MYOB settings in your MYOB AE/AO software.
  2. Check that the email address entered belongs to an active employee in MYOB AE/AO.

The employee must remain active for the Contacts Migration process to remain working. If the employee leaves and you make them inactive in MYOB AE/AO, you will need to enter the email address of another active employee that has administrator access.

See Viewing active employees to confirm which employees are active.

Check that your practice server is on and has access to the internet.

If that's all good, the MYOB OnTheGo API service on the server might not be running. The following troubleshooting information will help you check it.

titleCheck if the MYOB OnTheGo service is running

On the server/computer where your MYOB AE/AO software is installed:

  1. Open your Windows Start menu and type services.
  2. Select Services.
  3. Locate the MYOB OnTheGo API Service and check its status.

titleIf you need to start the MYOB OnTheGo service

On the server/computer where your MYOB AE/AO software is installed:

  1. Open your Windows Start menu and type services.
  2. Select Services.
  3. Locate the MYOB OnTheGo API Service.
  4. If the status is blank, you need to start it by right-clicking the service and selecting Start.

If the service:

  • starts, the issue should be fixed. You should check that the MYOB OnTheGo API Service starts after the next server restart.
  • remains in the "Starting" state, wait for 5 minutes for it to finish. If a message appears saying that a service is taking too long to start, click OK and wait a further 5 minutes.
  • doesn't start, force it to stop and then start it again.

Also note:

  • If the service takes more than 5 minutes to start, there are probably internet access issues. See your system administrator for advice.
  • The Startup Type should be set to Automatic (Delayed Start). This will avoid problems with the service not being started in the future.
