Application Builder Icon Missing

Hi,
I am a newbie. I have brought up apex 4.1.1 on aws RDS Oracle 11g and have logged in as INTERNAL. My problem is I have been searching for Application Builder menu item or icon so i can start building applications but I can't find it.
I only see Home, Manage Instance, Manage Requests, Manage Workspace, and Monitor Activity.
kindly advice me on how to get the application builder icon, or do I need to install something else?
Many thanks

When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Home, Manage Instance, Manage Requests, Manage Workspace, and Monitor Activity are the administration components in the internal workspace. See the "Setting Up Your Own Local Environment" section for how to create your own workspaces in which you will use the Application Builder.

Application builder icon disappeared from database home page

i am wondering , is APPLICATION BUILDER ICON removed from database home page of all users or just mine. please i need help here..

Do you mean the icon display, or the ability to use the app identified by the icon?
(If just the display (it shows the empty box), there is a known problem with some images appearing broken. In which case, you can try forcing a reload form the server by adding a 'Shift' to your reload command (eg: use Shift-F5 in I.E. or Shift-Ctrl-R in Firefox)

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.

Where is the Application Builder Icon?

I just installed Express, logged into the DB home page as SYSTEM, and only saw these icons:
Administration
Object Browser
SQL
Utilities
Where is it?

user463359,
You only get to use the application builder while logged in as a user other than SYSTEM. Try clicking on the Getting Started button on the home page. Follow the directions to unlock the HR schema to get an idea.

Application Builder - Installer - Missing Files

Hello,
I have a very large project and I want to create an installer. I have prebuilded the exe and all the necessary files and added them to the new project as files.
Somehow, when I want to create a new installer, I can not see my exe files (added to LVProject as files) in the Source Files Tab.
I have tried to remove and add these file again to the project, but nothing happened.
I have a feeling about that when I double click on the Installer icon in the LVProject - Build Specification to open Installer settings the filelist do not refresh. Is it possible to fore refresh that files?
This issue is very annoying...
Please give some help, thanks.

To build an installer from with a project you must add the Build Specification, not the executable itself. Therefore you need to create the Installer in the same Project as the Build Specification. You cannot manually add executable files to the Installer, just Build Specifications that define your built executable.
See the Installer help: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvdialog/files_install_page/

Where should be the application builder?

I can't find application builder icon on APEX 2.2. There is only manage application icon without any possible to buld application.
Have someone some suggestion where to find it or what to do?
m.

I guess you are in the administrative section of Apex:
http://host:port/pls/apex/apex_admin
But you need to login to a specific workspace (which you need to create first):
http://host:port/pls/apex/apex_login
Hope that helps,

Custom icon in application builder

I am trying to create an executable with custom icon using Application Builder in LabVIEW.
I converted a .png image to .ico for the icon, but when I select that .ico file as a custom icon, I get the following message:
"The selected file doesn't contain all of the needed icons. Without them, your application will show an incorrect icon in some views.
Missing icons:
32X32, 16 color
16X16, 16 color."
Any comments\suggestions on how to get custom icon would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It's possible that you don't have both 16x16 and 32x32 icons in 16 bit color. When you convert the .png to an .ico, see if there is an option to convert into necessary ico images that you need.
As a way to double check this without using application builder, load the VI : <vi.lib>\Platform\icon.llb\Read Icons for Application.vi
It will show you the different icons that are read from the .ico file.

LabVIEW 2011 compiled application icon missing

Previously when I built an application the VI Icon would appear in the top right corner exactly the same in the compiled executable as it did in the VI.
Since upgrading to LabVIEW 2011SP1 all I get is a blank/question mark, icon missing indicator.
This happens for all of my compiled applications regardless of what icon I specify, even if I leave it as the default.
VI icon looks like this Application icon looks like this.
Just to be extra clear, there is no problem with how the exe icon appears in windows explorer and shortcuts.
I am ONLY talking about how the front panel icon in the top right corner appears.
The application works, it just looks ugly/unprofessional.
Is this a bug? Do I have something configured incorrectly? Is there a workaround? Has anyone else noticed this?

I tried building on another computer. It works properly.
My usual development machine is running Windows XP SP3.
The other computer I just tried a build on is running Windows 7 and that works fine.
I'm trying a repair of the XP installation now (I'll get back to you in a couple of hours!).
One other possible difference is that on the XP machine I installed the LabVIEW 2011 SP1 f1 patch.
Now I can't remember if I uninstalled it again afterwards. How can you tell if the patch has been applied or not?
I can't remember if I did it on the Windows 7 machine too???

"Open With" application icons missing

When I right click on a file > "Open With", then the icons for a few applications are often missing.
For example, see this image: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6947/screenshot20091006at124.png
It even happens with Numbers and stuff...

Sometimes they are there, sometimes they aren't. For reasons unknown the Snow Leopard Finder has some difficulty finding and displaying the icons inside of packages/bundles. Eventually it does manage, and once it gets them it hangs onto them, until you reboot. Try this: select a file and do the right click "Open with" but don't bother selecting anything from the list. Then select a similar file, that would open with the same programs, and try Open With for it. I just now did that with a jpg and then a png. The second time the Open With list had all its little icons in place. My guess is the icons are cached somewhere, the cache gets emptied on shutdown, and after a restart Finder doesn't bother to repopulate the cache until it has some reason to do so. It then takes a few seconds to recreate the cache (exactly how long may depend on the speed of your machine, whether or not you have multiple drives with stuff on them, how fast the drives are, and so on), after which it works it works fine. Until you reboot.

During an application build I received an error 7 for a missing source NI vi 1d linear evaluation.vi

During an application build, I got "Error 7 occurred at c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\vi.lib\Analysis\8numerc.llb\1D Linear Evaluation.vi - source does not exist".
This existed in Labview 5.1.1. Was it deleted in 6.0?

No, this VI is in the following location "Functions >> Analyze >> Mathematics >> Array Operations>>1D Linear Evaluation.vi"
Perhapse this in a package (Advanced Analysis) that is not included in your version of LabVIEW. You may need to upgrade to get these VIs, or you can copy them over from your Labview 5.1.1 installation.

Application builder missing files

Hi all,
I'm new to LabView and I'm trying to deploy an application as an executable. I'm running LabView 2009 on Win XP Pro. I have the application builder and ran the application builder tutorial. The tutorial worked fine, but doing the same steps on my project that calls sub-VIs from several different libraries didn't work. I'm not trying to build an installer yet, just a stand alone executable running on a machine with the LabView run time framework already installed. I'm not calling anything by reference, all sub-VIs are called explicitly.
The VI I'm trying to deploy works fine running in LabView. Application builder successfully generates an executable. When the executable is run, it pops up a dialog looking for a bunch of sub-VIs. I attached a copy of the executable prompting me for a sub-VI contained in vi.lib
First, is there a user's manual or something like that for Application Builder? LabView Help describes how to create a stand alone executable but doesn't describe all the settings in detail. I probably just have one of the settings wrong.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on what to try next?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Solved!

LV2011SP1
I have been developing in the directory
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\user.lib
The source code is located in a subfolder in the "user.lib" folder
The builds go into the destination subfolder "user.lib\builds"
The executable built returns an error when it is run. It can't find one of the subvis.
The subvi in question is listed under the dependencies for the main vi in the project.
I copied the devlopmentto a new location, namely
C:\Users\Me\Documents\LVcode\builderErrorTestFolder
The executable built within this new project ran without error on the development machine, but the executable built with the installer in this project will not run on a non-development machine. In the case of the executable installed on a non-development machine, the error is a "can't find vis" error, but it is limited to NI_AALPROLvlib files and NI_AALBaseLvlib files
What could be the problem?

Missing Buttons in Blueprint Application Builder

Hi,
I am using Blueprint Application Builder to customize the iViews for SAP CRM Business Package.
When BAB is launched, I can only see Application and View dropdown list and the Load Application button. That is all, no other buttons for me to save or launch Designer. What could be wrong?? I have already activated service CRM_BSP_BAB_DSS and CRM_BSP_BAB_DIS.
After selecting a Application and iVew, I click on the Load Application. The preview of the iView appears but no other buttons can be seen on the left panel except Load Application.
Any clue??
Does anyone know where can I download the BAB and CRM Designer documentation?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Thanks so much for the reply. Can you mail me the documents at [email protected] or [email protected]??

Running LabVIEW 2012 Application builder get message about missing LabVIEW 2013 media

I am trying to make an installer using LV 2012 (Latest version for which I have a license-- Installed from Developer Suite 2013, latest disks I have.)\
I am asking the installer to include Run Time Engine 2012 SP1 f5-- Only choice presented to me for a 2012 RTE
When I Try to build an installer, I get a message asking for a LV 2013 media path, which I don't have...
Any ideas on why this is happening or how to get around it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Peter:
Sorry for the long delay getting back to you, I've been off on other projects for the past few.
I have NImax 5.4.0f0 on my computer. Other than that, I don't see any stand-alone DAQmx-- mostly I configure the DAS equipment programatically from within LabVIEW.
Attached is a screen shot of the NILM display. You'll note that there's a LV2013 in addition to the LV2012 SP1. Not sure why the 2013 shows up in the LM-- don't recall ever loading it, not even a demo version, and what I'm using is the 2012 SP1.
Since my last post, a few other peculiarities with the app builder-- last week I had a period where it would only run the application builder once to make an installer. After that I'd get an error message of some sort (I neglected to make a note of the exact message-- If I see it again I'll make a note of it.) In order to run the app builder a second time, I had to shut down the computer & reboot.-- it then let me run the app builder one more time, then reboot needed to run it a third time.
I also had a peculiarity where when I ran the installer on the target machine, it would give a "no software will be installed" message. I am pretty sure that this was unrelated to the other problems-- A simple user error, that I wasn't updating the revision number of the exe application, so when the installer went to install on the target it thought the version on the target was the same as the version that I wanted to install? But I mention it in case it has some bearing on the problem.
Client testing the application reports that it is ready to go, so I'll be attempting to build on final (for this release) clean installer version later today-- I'll let you know how that goes.
Thanks for your attention, and again, appologies for the delay in responding to your questions.
Best regards, Louis

Error copying application.xml icons: .../bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist

Hi,
Whenever I try to export the release build I get error from COmpiler during the process that "Error copying application.xml icons: Resource '/Project_Name/bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist." I have specified 4 icons in the -app.xml file of sizes 16,32,48,128 which exist in the path specified and files are not corrupt. I have checked and unchecked the compiler directive "Copy non-embedded resources in the Output file" but that has not helped too.
Can somebody please advise what do I do in this situation?

Frank,
Thank you for your answer. I had not checked (will do so tonight).
I had considered it adequate to wipe out the entire system directory (thereby wiping out the integrated weblogic server), but perhaps it was not adequate? I did not specify that this is on the integrated server, but that is the case....

How can I use a shared library made with the application builder?

Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 7.1 running on Slackware 10.1 (kernel 2.4.29) and I am trying to call a graph display from a C program that I use for debugging VME access from a VMIVME controler. So using the application builder I built the VI as a shared library (graph.vi -> graph.so) containing a function called "graph". In my main program the call to the dlopen fails with the error: "graph.so: undefined symbol: UninitLVClient". When I examin graph.so with nm I see that UninitLVClient and other LabVIEW functions are indeed undefined and using ldd shows that graph.so has dependencies only on libc.so.* and *linux*.so.* but not on LabVIEW related stuff. Those functions are defined in the liblv.so that's in the cintools directory but I have no idea if the user is supposed to use that.
So I think I am missing an important concept here. Can somebody help or direct me to some documentation (I found lots of information about how to link external code to LabVIEW but nothing about how to link LabVIEW code to an external program)?

Thanks Watermann,
your message has been very useful so now I am linking to the proper library but I still have problems when trying to load dynamically the shared library produced with LabVIEW. It is strange that I could successfully load the lvrt library at loading time but it does not work when I am loading the library at execution time.
I made a small LabVIEW program that prints a hello window and I am calling it from a C program. In the first program main.c I am linking to the lvrt library at loading time and it works but in the second one I am linking dynamically at execution time and it does not work. For my work I need to be able to load code done in LabVIEW at execution time. Any help is appreciated!
Program main.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include "hello.h" // got this from the LabVIEW builder, i.e. when I made the hello.so
int main(void)
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
hello();
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main.c, i.e. linking shared library lvrt when loading main program:
gcc -Wall -I /usr/local/lv71/cintools/ -o main main.c hello.so -l lvrt
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been defined and exported:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
IT WORKS!
Program main2.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include
int main(void)
void * h_lvrt;
void * h_hello;
void (* hello)(void);
char * error;
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
// open LabVIEW RunTime shared library
// in my computer located at /usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so
h_lvrt = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
printf("error : could not open LabVIEW RunTime library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// open hello shared library
// in my computer located at /home/darss/lv_call/hello.so
h_hello = dlopen("hello.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not open hello library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// get function hello from library hello.so
hello = dlsym(h_hello, "hello");
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not get the hello function\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// call hello function
hello();
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main2.c, i.e. dynamically linking library lvrt at execution of main2 program:
gcc -Wall -o main2 main2.c -l dl
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH still defined and exported.
IT DOES NOT WORK!
Program output:
