ActiveX Automation server error on deployed TestStand

I'm trying to deploy TestSTand 2.0 + LabVIEW 6.1 on a PC under Win-2K.
I created and deployed TS Engine and Operator Interface for LV.
I try to deploy the "Auto.seq" test from the TS exemples.
Of course, it works on my Development system.
On the deployed system, I got an error : -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library.
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
Step 'Read Database Option - Read Options' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
After having ignored those 2 errors, the tests goes on normally and the report looks fine.
I also get this error opening the database configuration:
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'
From answers already given for similar subjects, I've checked that TsDBOptions.dll is present and registered (done regsvr32...) on the PC.
Can someone help ?
Note: upgrading to more recent TS + LV versions is not a solution!

Whether you are using database logging or not, you should not get an error like that when database options are loaded. From the kb's you specified it sounds like there was an issue with a COM/ActiveX server not getting registered in the past. Especially on machines in which TestStand was installed from a deployment rather than the main installer. Have you tried running the version switcher like the KB suggested? Did it succeed or give an error? If it gave an error what was the error? Could you perhaps try a fresh install of TestStand on a clean machine?

ActiveX Automation Server Error -18351

I wrote a program using TestStand Version 4.5.1 and ran into this error code as soon as I initialize it.
Error loading type library/DLL.
Error Code: -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type libarary Step 'Read Database Otion - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
Bottom line, I'm not using or planning to use any form of database with my program. I just want it to run.
There was another document with ID 4IE7CCM6 that addressed this issue. Tried it, didn't help. I also went to the related links referring to the Knowledgebase document with ID 1HBAMMSR, didn't help either.
How do I fix this?

Using LabVIEW RTE vs. LabVIEW ActiveX Automation Server (TestStand LVRTS) for a TestStand Deployment and experienceing Unabel to Launch LabVIEW.Application ActiveX Automation Server Error 18001

I am developing in TestStand 4.2.1 and LabVIEW 2009, I have accomplished the following:
1. Deployment package is built and deployed on PC
2. PC has activated TestStand Deployment License
3. LabVIEW 2009 RTE was selected as the adapter for the sequence and thus I believe the deployed testexec.ini contains this.
I am experiencing the following error: "see attachment".
Is the LabVIEW RTE the right selection?
Is there something I may have missed in building the deployment?
Do I need to register the ActiveX server.
THere seems to be conflicing solutions based on Version of TestStand and LabVIEW!!
Thanks!!

Howdy mobiux,
Please consider KnowledgeBase 4V58058Z: -18001 Errors in TestStand. If you're using Vista or Windows 7, then this may apply as well. You might also consider ensuring you have the proper LV version active in the TS Adapter Options.

Error launching the 'LabVIEW.Application" ActiveX automation server [Error Code: -18001]

Hello,
I have TestStand 2010 and LabVIEW 2010 development systems.
In the TS LabVIEW adapter is configured to use Development System.
Till today everything worked properly.
Today I tried to run TS sequence (which worked yesterday) and got error -18001.
I changed LV adapter configuration to use LVRTE and then back to Development System - and got error -18001 again.
Please see the image below.
LV2010 development system exists and I can use it: edit and run VIs.
How can this problem happen and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

scan all the registered components but after a while it returns an error
message like "Error Win32" so I can't work with the ActiveX components,
I tryed uninstall and reinstall the CVI and the problem remains the same.

-18001: An error occured accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server

Hi,
I'm currently investigating a problem with a Teststand 2.0 sequence. The
sequence makes use of VI's that call methods of an ActiveX. After a few
successful loops through the test sequence the error "-18001: An error
occured accessing the LabVIEW (6.1) ActiveX automation server" is brought up
in Teststand. I think that somehow the ActiveX automation server is dying
during the execution of the sequence but I don't know where to start
searching...The problem does not seem to lie within the ActiveX istself, but
I'm not sure. Using the same ActiveX within a Visual Basic Application and
performing the same commands several times does not produce a failure. Has
anybody an idea what could be the problem
Thanks, Sven.

Thanks, but I already know these entries from the Knowledge Base. I found no
help in there and my error text is also not mentioned there.

LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

Hi,
I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ".
BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
Thank you.

Thanks for the response, Brian.
I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code -18002
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

LV5 as ActiveX automation server

Hello,
I hope that somebody here is able to help me. I have a question about using
LabView 5 as ActiveX automation server. This works fine for me when I build
an C++ application based on the examples I got with LabView. But all
examples I found make use of MFC.
Now I have a C application that is based on pure Win32 API. My question: How
can I implement calls to LabView-automation server using Win32 API without
MFC?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks for ur help
Jdeveloper version is 10.1.3.2.0
I have deployed simple application.
I even went thru the log files located at :

$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oc4j_soa//application-deployments/gateway/oc4j_soa_default_group_1/application.log
but it was not of any help.
Can you help me figure out where i can get the detailed log file. Very recently i have started using jdeveloper,so i am having difficulty figuring out the log also.

500 Internal Server Error when deploying struts application on OAS 10.1.3

I've installed the Oracle Application Server several times, this time with 10.1.3 our application doesn't run and we get the error shown below.
Any ideas? It looks to be something with struts or tiles. struts.jar and tiles.jar is included in our deployed j2ee application WEBI-INF/lib dir. The application was built with jdeveloper 10.1.2 and compiled with java 1.4.
We load a custom log4j.properties, and nothing is even getting logged except for the log4j init stuff, nor is this NoSuchMethod error showing up in any other of the many different log files. (That I can find anyway)

Figures, I've been fighting with this for the past day and a half and I figure it out shortly after I post the question.
It turns out the tiles.jar that was in our WEB-INF/lib directory was an old one. It looks like the newer struts.jar (from jdeveloper) we're using includes the tiles information. Once I removed tiles.jar, commons-dbcp, pool, resources, and services, it works now.
It looks like jdeveloper overwrites most of those files with it's built in struts integration, and we've just been lucky before that struts.jar was being loaded before tiles.jar and something with oas 10.1.3 is loading the jars in a different order--but I'm just guessing here.

Error 500--Internal Server Error - when deploying strust application

Hello everyone,
We have a large strust-based web application. The application is being deployed as an EAR file.
We are getting a NullPointerException when we deploy the application on Weblogic 8.1 in production mode. The exception
occurs when we access the application for the first time after redeployment.
When we restart the server entirely we do not get the exception anymore.
This exception does occur only rarely in development mode.
In production mode it occurrs every time.
Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Regards,
Oliver Enseling

500 Internal Server Error after deploying several times

Hello everyone. I originally had an issue with SOA not running as a service due to some issue with Windows Server 2003 and custom installation. I'm not entirely sure that problem is fixed, but unsure if it could be related to this issue.
The problem I'm having is if I redeploy an application a few times, I get the following error:
*500 Internal Server Error*
Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details
after I go to the application. This machine currently has 8gb of memory and I do know I am still using the default memory setting. When I tried to change it, all of the applications stopped functioning.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm curious if uninstalling SOA and then using the basic installation will fix most of my problems.

I forgot to mention that I had to manually create the service as well which I don't think is still working quite right. The application server will run, but it's not accessible by anyone. Only once I manually start the SOA Server does it work properly, until it hangs up of course.
I'll check metalink to see if there has been any updates to the Windows 2003 problem.
