Application builder 8.2 : lvanlys problem

I am experiencing the following problem when trying to make an installer of my LabVIEW executables in LabVIEW 8.2. I have 2 applications, both depening on lvanlys, which should be installed to the same folder. Both applications are build targets inside the same project file. If I add my first build target, and then try to add the second one, I get a message that data/lvanlys.dll is already present in the installer. No problems there since this is true, BUT this plainly keeps me from adding the second application to the installer. If I try to remove lvanlys from the list of installer files to prevent this problem, my first build target disappears again. So I am a little stuck. Is there any work-around ?

The goal is to have on the target machine a single installation directory with two executables in it, right? How 'bout building one of then - call it AppA - into an executable, but with no installer. Now build the second one - called AppB - with an installer and include AppA.exe in the build as a support file that gets stored in the installation directory?
AppA should run fine as long as all the external code (like lvalys.dll) is also used in AppB. If they aren't you'll need to add them into too.

Problem with logging in to apex application builder listener

I have problem with my settings and am posting this in hope that someone else out there had similar problem and solved it!
I am trying to use reverseproxy to access to our db through apex listener.
It's been all set-up and I can login to the application it self either through proxy or no proxy using the listener.
But when I try to login to apex application builder I cannot do it through proxy(with no proxy, it works).
It just refreshes the login page when I click login....
I tried to upgrade the listener to the latest v1.1(using 1.0.2) but it causes my tomcat to crash...
So solution i am looking for is how to make logging in work through proxy..
In the firebug it is showing that below and few other request status as 302 moved temporariry
http://myserver:8080/testsin/apex/wwv_flow.accept
Where as with no proxy it is saying Found.....
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Sin K

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

Problem with "Application Builder"

Hello!
I have problem when I am using application builder to convert my program to exe files. MY PROGRAM: I use a main program to copy a template VI in to other VI´s, and then I can execute the copied VI´s from main. When I have tried to convert my program to a EXE file, everything works but not executing the copied VI. The following error messages apperies when I try to execute the copied VI. What does this mean???

Hello!
Information for users on this discussion forum: the problem was due to 'Build Text' function and when that function was removed the program worked fine. The functionality in the 'Build Text' function could easily be replaced by the 'Format Into String' function.

Application Builder problem on one server but not another

I am having an Application Builder problem. When I get into App Express and go inside the builder and try to edit a listed application, I get an “http 404 the page cannot be found. The page might have had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable” situation. I can get into SQL commands, utilities, and administrative activities. I can also run the application. Also, if I go onto a different server with App Express on it, I can get into the builder and edit applications with no trouble. Our DBA had the server in question rebooted a little over a week ago and that took care of the problem for a couple days. Any ideas? Is this an Express problem or a server problem? He had also tried restarting Express before he had the reboot done and that didn’t help.
Thank you for any help.
Cordially,
Robert J. Smith

I have messages from the Apache error log files from the dates I was getting the builder error. For future reference, I will post them below. The builder has been working fine lately.

Problems with Application Builder and NI-DAQmx drivers in Labview 8.2 Professional

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use the application builder to create an executable so that someone without labview is capable of a remote panel connection to connect to our test laboratory. our test laboratory uses the USB Compact DAQ 9172. I did find some other forums that ran into a similar problem where a computer that didnt have labview installed on it looked for a particular driver (nilvaiu.dll). The common solution appeared to be when building the installer, include the current NI-DAQmx (8.3 in our case) option and then the clients worked fine. My question is when i use the application builder to create an installation file for this application, i get a prompt to:
Locate the "National Instruments Device Drivers - February 2006 Disk 1" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer.
What is confusing is that the installation cd's in our laboratory are from August 2006 (501165N-03). It didnt make sense to me that i would need to downgrade the drivers from a few months ago, but i've been wrong before. We just upgraded from the full development to the professional version about 2 weeks ago to utilize the application builder function. Has anyone else ran into this problem and could this be a limitation because we purchased the software with the academic discount?
thanks in advance
Chris

Chris,
My "fix" is brute force. Backup everything. Removing all the NI software takes a while. Be sure to remove leftover directories and files.
Altering the windows registry takes seconds and is not hard if you know what you are looking for. I've attached a screen shot with the NI entry selected. This is what I deleted on by machine. The thing to remember is that the registry controls all the software on your pc. Delete/alter the wrong entry and you have problems. Worst case scenario is that you could end up formating the hard drive and starting over from scratch. I'm not trying to scare you, but I want to make sure you understand the potential for harm.
One thing you might try first. NI-DAQmx 8.5 is now available for download from NI. You might try unloading 8.3 and installing 8.5.

Application Build problem Labview 8.5.1

Having a problem creating an Installer with 8.5.1. When being built a menu appears asking for
"NI Labview 8.2.1" distribution. Needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer.
Despite trying all of the Disks I have, First quarter DVD, and all of the second quarter CD's it does not recognise any of them. When the CD's or DVD is inserted it shows a nidist.id file which I select (because it says that's what it requires) but them it gives a message stating that
"You cannot choose this folder name; a file of that name exists"
I have tried this build on 2 different machines and get the same response, anyone got any ideas on this or is it a no brainer in 8.5.1?
One last thing if this lot cannot be got to work, the additional files required are:-
Ni Labview Runtime Engine 8.5.1
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.5
NI PXI Config Support for Windows
NI DAQmx 8.7 (unsure if this is included in MAX?)
NI Visa Runtime 4.4
Does anyone know if I just downloaded these from NI website and installed on the computer that will run the final .EXE file it will work?
Labview Version 8.5
Labview Version 8.6
Labview Version 2013

Hello Jack1,
I have been looking into your posts. There are two immediate actions you could try to help. I have identified that you are having issues with the computer recognizing that you have inserted the CD it has requested. Also, you are having trouble with repeatedly being asked to change back and forth through disks, at every attempt to build the installer. As you may need to try this more than once, it may be helpful to you to create a folder for each CD or DVD, and copy and paste the contents of the individiual disks. This software will be recognized, even if copied on to your hard disk.
When you click 'Build', to begin building your installer with your necessary additional resources, you will be asked to insert the last set of CDs or DVDs you have used. However, at the prompt you can click on the 'Folder' icon and browse the folder where you have saved the individual disk contents. The error you were receiving in your first post, "You cannot choose this folder name; a file of that name exists", implies that you were most like click on the *.id file and selecting ok. I have avoided this on my machine by opening the folder with the disk contents, not selecting any files, and the click the 'Current Folder' button. After you have selected it, ensure that you have ticked the box next to 'Cache components from this distribution.' Whether you use the CD, or folders containing the disk contents, this options creates a local copy of the requested files to a cache directory, therefore no requiring the user to input disks, or point to file locations in the future. If you have a repeated patter of building applications and installers, this will quicked your process, and eventually allow to delete the disk contents you have copied to your hard disk.
The disks from your previous installations are requested primarily because of your selection to include NI-DAQmx as an Additional Resource. As this is the main driver, shared components are recognized by the Application Builder. I, therefore, can recommend that you try building the installer with the above steps on your laptop, which your mentioned is a fresh installation.
When you have had a moment to try this, please post back to see if I can answer any further questions on this topic, or know that it has worked.
Regards,

Application Builder 7.1: problem when running an EXE

Hello,
I have developped a VI on a computer with LabView 7.1. The VI uses an USB 6008 (with DAQmx base 1.4 drivers.) to measure signals. It perfectly works. Now I've spent a lot of trying to put the system on a computer that doesn't have LabView installed.
-I first installed the USB 6008 drivers on the computer
-Then I made an installer with the application builder (including the run-time engine)
-Once the application is installed on the new environnement, I just keep on having error messages when running it.
-first it doesnt find all the DLL, you have to copy them from the PC with LabView in C:\windows\system32\. Done.
-then I get this big dialog box with a listing of sub-Vi missing, such as: Sub-VI Create Task.vi missing in VI Instance 1 6ProgName.v1
I've looked into the LLB file created with the builder: all these sub-VI are here!! Why won't it work?
What can I do to solve this?? Thanks for your help.

Hi batsenn,
for the missing dll: what are those dll's? you may need to install additional run-time packages, or check some more component in the Advanced Installer Settings form, depending on your application.
Now for the main problem: are you calling vi's dynamically from an external LLB? in many cases when a file is not found from the built application, it's a path problem. In fact, if a vi path is e.g. c:\mysourcedir\myvi.vi, when the EXE is built the path will be something like c:\myexedir\myexe.exe\myvi.vy. You see that there is an additional Strip Path you need to do if you are getting the current path from a vi path.
What I said can be relevant or not depending on the vi calling techinique you are using. A suggestion is to execute the built EXE on the development computer (where all components are present) to check if the problem is still there.
Hope this helps.

Problem modifying FPGA code in an Application Builder-based system

I've inherited a working test system which uses LabVIEW FPGA, LabVIEW, Application Builder, and third party tools. The FPGA module (a FlexRIO) is responsible for generating test signals to a DUT and acquiring DUT output data. The host LabVIEW code controls the FlexRIO and acquires the test data. Application Builder is used to convert the host LabVIEW code to a Windows DLL so that it can be in turn controlled by higher level data analysis software running on Windows.
All of this currently works, and we're using it on a daily basis to test production devices.
We need to modify the FPGA operation to change the way the tests operate. We've modified the the FPGA VI to operate as we need it to and rebuilt the FPGA code (resulting in a new bit file), but subsequent runs of the test stack do not show the change to the operation of the FPGA code (the signals it is generating look exactly the same as in the original, unmodified, VI). We've tried renaming, deleting, and moving the bit file, but operation of the system is always exactly the same, even when the bit file is named differently or not located in the expected directory. We can't seem to affect the behavior we get out of the FPGA. It seems like we're not rebuilding something correctly, or that the system somehow has a copy of the old bit file stored away some place that it's using instead of the desired bit file.
We've verified that the newly created bit file is different than the original bit file, so it appears that the FPGA build process is succeeeding. I see no errors from LabVIEW when I build the FPGA code.
Does a DLL-ized version of LabVIEW host code operate the same as the same VI run from within the LabVIEW environment? When the DLL loads the FlexRIO, does it do so from the same referenced file path (I have the "Open FPGA VI Reference" properties set to use the bitfile, and the "Run the FPGA VI" checkbox is checked). We've power-cycled the host PXIe chassis between software runs to make sure the configuration memory in the FlexRIO is cleared.
It seems highly suspicious that we see the FPGA come up and run even when the bit file has been renamed or moved from the directory indicated in the "Open FPGA VI Reference". I would think that the DLL would attempt to open that file, fail to find it, and trip some sort of error dialog. But this doesn't occur, the FPGA gets loaded normally, and the test system operates as if nothing had been touched.
Previous developers were able to make this build process work, but it seems we're missing some critical step needed to actually update the code that ends up running on the FPGA.
The system is LabVIEW 2012.

The FPGA build definition has the bitfile filename hardwired into it, so the name is constant across rebuilds of the FPGA code. So we always have the same bitfile name (and consequently if we're not careful about saving the old files, then the old bitfile will be overwritten by a new build).
I could try your suggestion about the alternate calling method, but I'm hesitant about changing a build process that was known to work. It seems to me that I'm somehow not building the software correctly, as if I don't understand something about the DLL build process that's keeping the new FPGA code from being used.
To reiterate, our build process is:
1) Modify the LabVIEW FPGA VI
2) "Run" the FPGA VI to compile it (by the way, last night we tried a "Rebuild" on the FPGA code from the right click menu off the VI in the LabVIEW project and that also has failed to change the results)
3) Build the host DLL code by right clicking the DLL build definition in the LabVIEW project and selecting Build
4) Copy the resulting host DLL over to the directory location where the higher level Windows software expects to find it
5) Run the higher level Windows software (at which point we view waveforms generated by the FlexRIO to see if the FPGA's behavior has changed).
We've verified that the LabVIEW DLL won't rebuild if we rename the bitfile (LabVIEW gives an error saying it can't find the bitfile). We've also verified that the higher level Windows software won't run if the LabVIEW DLL is renamed in its directory (so we know that that exact copy is being opened by the Windows software). Yet we can't seem to modify the FlexRIO's behavior through this process.

Modify a Page created in Application Builder (cursor problem)

I created a application in the 'Application Builder' that comes with Oracle Express. I can not get the cursor to start in the first field if that field is a 'text field automatically submit when enter pushed'. it only works when I change that field to 'text field'.
Is there a way to fix this?
or
Can I pull up the code for that page and modify it manually?
or
Can I open that form in JDeveloper?
Thanks.

Hello Garrett,
Around here, apex, ApEx, APEX, is short for Oracle Application Express.
Oracle XE comes with Oracle Application Express, however it is Application Express version 2.1. The latest production version of Application Express is version 3.2.1.00.12. See here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/download.html for information on upgrading your version of ApEx to the latest version. It provides tons of improvements over what was already a sweet tool.
Application Builder is just one of the tools (albiet the primary tool) in ApEx. It sounds like you're definitely going to want to spend some time with the Help, and also in the number of tutorials available at http://apex.oracle.com/i/index.html to get up to speed with it. There's too many places to list here where you can incorporate Javascript into your applications - but check out the help and tutorials and I'm sure you'll soon no longer be a "total noob"! I'm assuming you do mean Javascript - not Java - two very different languages used for two completely different things.
Hope this helps,
John

URGENT! MAJOR PROBLEM! Application Builder ICON - I CANNOT SEE?! WHY?

Hello,
I have just installed XE and I cannot see the Application Builder Icon on the Home Page!? Please help...do I have an old version perhaps?
Kind Regards,
Kajani

Hi Kajani,
which user do you use to log in?
Is it SYSTEM or a user called TEST? It won't work with either one, since those are internal accounts which don't provide the application builder.
You have to create a new user and log in as this new user.

DLL created with LV 7.1 Application Builder doesn,t work when analysis subVIs are present

I'm looking for a solution of the following problem.
The DLL created by the "sum1.vi" source works properly, while the DLL create by "sum2.vi" always gives a zero result.
The "sum2.vi" source contains an additional "Hanning Window" VI (not wired), that seems to be the cause of the problem.
If I delete the Hanning VI and re-build the DLL, the same works fine
Is there a solution or is it not possible to make Labview DLLs when containing analysis VIs as filters, windows, FFTs, and so on?
Thank you for your answers.

Thank you Jordan, I'm using Labview 7.1.
Anyway I've resolved the problem by adding the "lvanlys.dll" file (present in "..\Labview 7.1\resource\lvanlys.dll" path) as support file in the building process. Now the DLL containing the analysis functions works correctly.
Natalino Roberto
Ok, you probably got lucky since the lvanlys.dll seems to implement that function directly. However most Advanced Analysis functions are just redirected by lvanlys.dll to the Intel Math Kerneal Library that gets installed with LabVIEW 7.1 and higher. The only way to get that properly installed with your LabVIEW executable or DLL is to create a LabVIEW installer in your Application Builder and make sure to select under "Installer Settings->Advanced" the "LabVIEW Run-Time Engine" and the "Analyze VIs Support". Then use that installer to install your DLL on another computer.

Application builder ver7.1 for Linux

I have compiled a program with Application Builder version 7,1 in
Linux. The compilation has not given problems. When I launch the
file.exe appears an error. The program does not find a
share library (lvanlys.so).
The application builder during the phase of compilation it has not created the library lvanlys.so.
Why?

It is part of the implementation of the analysis library functions of
LabVIEW. I checked this and since LabVIEW 7.1 the runtime engine does
install its own lvanlys.dll (and MKL "Intel Math Kernel Library" which
is the actual implementation of a large part of the functions from the
analysis library since LabVIEW 7.1)
Before that lvanlys.dll was self contained and treated by the
application builder just like another user DLL which got included in the
application build itself.

Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

Hi
I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
Hope this helps.
