Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise

Alert Name:   Visio application proxy has invalid endpoint

Event ID:   8049

Summary:   The application for Visio Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 uses a proxy to abstract communication between the front-end service and back-end service. This proxy also provides a load-balancing mechanism between servers. For Visio Services to function, the front-end service must be connected to the application server that is returned by the application proxy.

Symptoms:   One or more of the following symptoms might appear:

  • Visio Services in SharePoint might fail to render diagrams.

  • This event appears in the event log: Event ID: 8049 Description: Application proxy invalid endpoint for <descriptive text>.

Cause:   One or more of the following might be the cause:

  • The specified SharePoint Server application server is inaccessible.

  • The specified application server is responding slowly due to heavy network activity or load on the specific server.

Resolution:   Check the error logs

  1. Open the Windows Event Viewer.

  2. Search for event ID 8049 in the Windows Application Event log.

Resolution:   Verify the application server connection
