Application Builder - suitable for requirement

Hi,
I have a tentative plan to use Hyperion Application Builder to extract data from Essbase in order to load that data into SQL server. Has anyone here managed to do anything similar please?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hi,
The aim is to create, from two existing cubes, a third cube. However, the dimensions from the two existing cubes need to be conformed and I was thinking of doing this is SQL Server.
For the data extraction, my first idea is to use SQL Server Intgration Services in order to execute Essbase scripts which create output data files from Essbase and then import those data files into SQL Server. The dimensions could then be conformed.
It's been suggested that HAB may allow a more elegant solution for exporting the data from Essbase into SQL Server (using ASP.NET).
cheers,
Steve

Is LabVIEW application builder needed for TS deployment?

Does the LabVIEW application builder need to be installed for TS deployment of a project containing LabVIEW VI's?

LabVIEW Application Builder is only necessary if you are deploying LabVIEW files, even then you can use the flag "Include without Processing Item or Dependencies" in all your LabVIEW files to create an image and optionally an installer without requiring LabVIEW (or app builder) at all; however, using this flag is not recommended becuase if you use it you would have to include all the files and their dependencies in your deployment manually (either by including the root directory of your test system or by adding all the files to your workspace) and you would have to make sure that they are not broken and can be called from the run-time engines you are including in your installer.

I w'd like to know if LabVIEW 6.0 Application Builder includes the daqdrv (for data acquisition) and serpdrv (for serial communication) support files by default.

Building an application to communicate to a device by serial port

Hi velou
The LabVIEW 6i Application Builder no longer requires daqdrv. Regardless of your Application Builder and LabVIEW version, you must always install the appropriate driver files on the target machine. For example, if your application communicates with a DAQ board and a GPIB board, then you must install NI-DAQ and NI-488.2 on your target machine. If you are using the VISA VI's for serial communication, than you have to install NI-VISA . If you are using the "old" serial VI's, than you have to include serpdrv separately.

Supressing autorun during installer creation in Application builder

I have LV 8.20.
I am creating an installer for my application including the MAX configuration and DAQmx driver. At some point the Application Builder asks for the driver CD's. When I insert the Drivers CD when the Application builder asks for it, the front panel for installing the drivers pops up and my original popup that asked for that CD disappears. Can I disable the autorun feature somehow? This really interferes with the building process.
Shouldn't the Application builder programmatically suppress the autorun.inf on that CD?
Scientia est potentia!

Thank you for the reply.
I had managed to create an instastaller afterall. It took me a few tries.
I had clicked on the OK (or contiue or done?) button on the popup that requested the Device Driver Reference CD before the popup from that CD had a chance to appear.
It still seems to me that, it would make sense to supress that popup that atomatically comes up when the CD is inserted into the drive.
Scientia est potentia!

Hi Vishal,
Recently, the content on OTN was moved, so the old links will no longer work. Our OTN pages have been updated with new link locations, including a new "Conversions" section on the Learn More page - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/index.html. If you follow the link for Oracle Forms Conversions, that will take to you to the Oracle Application Express for Oracle Forms Developers page - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-for-forms-098747.html - and at the end of this page you'll find a link to the related Oracle By Example (OBE) - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/testcontent/apex32frmmigr-095892.html. The files associated with this OBE can be downloaded here:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/testcontent/forms-conversion-133504.zip.
I hope this helps.

Application builder supporting dlls for nidaq and nidmm

I was use application builder to create installations. I don't want to include the huge installs for nidaq and nidmm. Is there a list of the dlls required that I can put as supporting files in the application builder.

I spoke with another one of our other Applications Engineers who spoke with either yourself or another person with the same question on the phone today. He indicated that there is no smaller set of DLLs to use as drivers for this code, and that the solution reached on the phone was to make the drivers available on a central server so that they didn't have to be distributed directly with the application. People could just install them from the server instead.
If this is not an option, the full install files for the NI-DAQ and NI-DMM drivers would have to be included with the built appliction and installed by the end user. Or perhaps instructions could be included with the application about where to download the drivers from the NI website (www.ni.com/downloads).

I have a application build in labview 8.5 for Windows XP using NI Visa functions to interact with hardware , how to make is work in Windows 7 32 bit and Win 7 64 bit

I have a application build in Labview 8.5 which wroks fine with Windows XP , this program uses basic read /write functions of NI Visa to communicate with Hardware . This application doesnt work with Windows 7 32 bit/64 and Vista . What changes i need to do to make it work for the said operating system

You need to make sure the machine have the corresponding NI-VISA installed. Check in the NI software pages for the right version.
Also make sure that the com port's can be selected when you first start the application. Eg. if you refer to VISA "COM1" on the XP machine It might be "COM2" on the Win7 machine.

For PDF Printing in Application Builder 3.0.1

Hi,
Recently upgraded to Application Builder 3.0.1.00.08
I've created a report, which i want to open as a pdf. I downloaded
bipublisher_windows_x86_101332_disk1 zip file and installed as per the
link mentioned under.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/
html/configure_printing.html
But while checking with from start menu and selected BI Publisher
server from the windows, the login screen is not appearing. where to
check.
http://mycomputername:9704/xmlpserver
is this correct. or instead of mycomputername what i've to give?? any
idea?
Thanks and Regards,
Sudha.

Kevin,
That's because report queries are rendered by a different engine than report regions. In report regions we escape correctly, and for report queries, we escape % with %25; - so we'll have to remove the semicolon.
Thanks for pointing this out,

Application builder for Lab View 8.6.1 , 2009 SP1 and 2010 SP1

All 3 Versions seem to have huge flaws. With 8.6.1 When trying to build and application I get a duplicate name error and the application won't work. With 2009 SP1 I get Error 1003 broken VI when I have no broken VI's. Again Application won't work! With 2010 SP1 After the application is built for some reason lab view can no longer find the Excel sub VI's no matter how I place them in the build. And again application doesn't work. With all 3 versions the Vi's and over all programs work perfectly in the development environment. The application builder seems extremely flawed.
I would currently like assistance with 2009 SP1 problem the Error 1003 broken VI. I have reinstalled and rebooted my machine several times , tried including as much as possible in the build and still get the error about a broken VI. That works perfectly in the development environment. Please HELP?
Thank You

Are there any advanced user manual for Application Builder?

Hi,
I want to find Application Builder user manual that can teach me how to set the Install Settings. For example, I want to know what libraries will be included in the installer if I enable Serial Port Support and Port I/O Support. What's the function of Enable ActiveX server in Application Settings? The Application Builder user guide I found which is a 8 pages installation guide with release note. I hope some NI engineers can answer this question. Thanks.
Best regards
Bill

For information about specific options in the Application Builder, click the Help button in the Build Application or Shared Library dialog box. In the Advanced Installer Settings dialog box, you also can click the Help button to display a topic with information about each option in the dialog box. Here are the descriptions of the two support options you mentioned:
Serial Port Support -- Installs the serial portion of NI-VISA needed for applications that access serial instruments or serial port.
Port I/O Support -- Installs the necessary support files for accessing parallel ports and for using the In Port and Out Port VIs.
The description of the "Enable ActiveX server" checkbox is: "Enables the ActiveX server for the application so it c
an respond to requests from ActiveX clients."
These descriptions also have links to more information about the objects mentioned, such as the In Port and Out Port VIs and the ActiveX server.
If this information is insufficient, please email [email protected] with your feedback so we can improve the help topics.

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.

Suitable for big enterprise applications?

Hello,
I am an advocate of Apex in our Oracle Forms shop, but received the following statement: "I am afraid that because of its 2 tier architecture (entire processing is taking place in the DB) it is not suitable for big enterprise applications".
Please help me respond to this.
Not by saying "yes, it is" or "no, it is not, the person is right", but by saying why it is or it is not.
References would be nice too.
Thanks very much, in advance,
Gabor

As the Director of IT for my company, here's why we use APEX as our main data entry/reporting solution:
1) Centralized data. All the data resides in a single place. No duplication and no wondering "Is this everything?"
2) Anywhere access. Because it is web/browser based, your users can gain access to the system whether at work or on the road. My company operates in the transportation industry across more than 8 states and we support many traveling managers. Web-based access and wireless connectivity enable them to be anywhere and get access to real-time data.
3) Instant deployment and updates. With APEX, content and new functionality can be instantly deployed across an entire organization without the need for expensive software management agents. It also eliminates versioning problems because it ensures everyone is using the same version. You can't do it that simply with a normal enterprise application.
4) Cross-platform Compatability. Again, because everything is browser-/standards-based, users can use Apple, Windows, Linux, smartphones, etc. Most standard applications have to have specific components written to interact with each type of device or operating system. With web applications, you can develop once and deliver everywhere.
5) Rapid development. I can have a basic application developed including table definitions, etc. in a matter of days BY MYSELF.
About the comment, I'd like to know what types of enterprise applications AREN'T 2-tiered or even 3-tiered applications? You have a presentation layer and a data layer in all applications; the application doesn't house the data itself. The main difference between APEX and many other applications is the delivery method: instead of a proprietary/internal transfer of data between the data layer and the presentation layer, it's being run out over the Internet. Frankly, the concern isn't about the tiers, it's about something else and the objector doesn't want to tell you the real reason.

Any news on workarounds or fixes for Application Builder?

Anyone knows of fixes for the Application Builder? I have LV 8.2 and am trying to remove things like scrollbars and abort button out of my exe. No matter what you do in the VI Settings, they show up. I know there was a workaround to stop the VI from running at startup up, but that was the one thing I needed not to do. LV 8.0 app. builder works fine, but I did this new VI in 8.2 and it does not to seem to be backwards compatible. So I need to get 8.2 working. Thanks Guys
Gerald

Hello Gerald,
This problem was reported to the National Instruments R&D
deppartment and it was fixed on the next version. A workaround if you
don't have LabVIEW 8.2.1 is to use VI properties to change the window
appearance of the top vi before you build your executable. Right-click the VI icon on the front panel or block diagram and select VI Properties from the shortcut menu or select File»VI Properties» Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu to display this page. Dialog style windows stay on top, have no menu
bar, scroll bars, or toolbar, allow the user to close the window but
not resize it, allow run-time shortcut menus, and show the front panel
when called. Please let me know if this works for you.
