Attempted to start multiple instances of the service

After installing LabVIEW 8.5.1, I keep getting this message after a computer reboot.  It does not say what multiple services are running.  Anyone seen this before?

SumTumWong-
Check your services and see what’s running.  This can be done by going to Start>>Run and type “services.msc”.   Then look for anything that starts with National Instruments or NI.  Look to see if there are any entries running twice or if you are trying to call a service that is already running.

  • Disallow running multiple instances of the same web start application..

    on the client? I have an application that is launched on the client by clicking on the link to the JNLP file. The problem is that I don't want the application to launch twice if the user clicks the link twice. Is there a way to keep web start from running multiple instances of the same app?
    I don't want to just disable the button after it is clicked because then the user won't be able to get back in if they need to.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks,
    Melanie

    The way I do this is to try connect to an obscure port number on the localhost at startup.
    if this connection succeeds I assume the app is already running. otherwise the program continues and registers as a server at that port number.
    I actually take this a little bit further by registering a web server at this port (I use the Brazil server), That way if the program finds an instance of itself running it can send a message to the web server and ask the program to do something (like start another window if,for instance you wanted to allow this but only within the same VM).

  • Contribute multiple instances of the same connection appear on login/start screen

    I am administering a series of sub-websites under one primary umbrella.
    - The Primary Umbrella site does not run under the Contribute Publishing Server
    - The secondary (child) sites are managed by the Contribute Publishing Server
    - We recently added a user to several of these subsites
    - After we added the user, we've had a problem with other user profiles.
    - Multiple instances of the same connection will appear upon login on the start screen ( about:startscreen ). However the user seems to only be able to credential to one of them, not both.
    I have gone into the user profile directory within Windows directory structure and removed both site dirs. However when restarting and reconnecting, both appear again.
    Anyone else have this issue and what is the remedy and fix?

    I tried to add a screenshot, however it would not let me upload.
    I get: An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again.

  • VMM - Add 2 hosts in cluster. 1st added OK, 2nd Failed Error 416. Retry gives Error 2912 An instance of the service is already running 0x80070420

    Have 2 host cluster as part of infrastructure adding to VMM.
    Added cluster server. 1st had no issue and has picked up it's VMs. Second gave this error below:
    Error (416)
    Agent installation timed out while waiting on service VMMAgentInstaller on host02domain.private.
    Recommended Action
    Ensure that the Windows Installer service is running on host02.domain.private and try the operation again.
    Sure the Windows Installer has nothing to do with this but in case I manually started it on the server without issue.
    On retrying first without starting Windows Installer manually and then doing so in both instances I get:
    Error (2912)
    An internal error has occurred trying to contact the host02.domain.private server: : .
    WinRM: URL: [http://host02.domain.private:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetVirtualizationStatus], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/AgentManagement]
    An instance of the service is already running (0x80070420)
    Recommended Action
    Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server host02.domain.private. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If host02.domain.private is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure
    that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.
    I've tried killing the VMM Agent running on the host (which is running now after the attempted deploy) and rerunning - as the second error indicates it can't run because it's already running (far as I can figure). But even though it takes longer to run then
    it still fails with exactly the same error.
    I've checked the host and winrm shows as already running and already set up for remote management.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi Allister,
    What is the version of SCVMM ?
    Did you follow the document ?
    As for VMM 2008R2 :
    "On the Select Host Servers page, in the Computer name box, type either the name of the cluster or the name of any node in the cluster, and then click
    Add."
    "Do not skip Active Directory name verification. If you do, the wizard will add the host as a stand-alone host instead of discovering the cluster nodes "
    "When you specify the name of a failover cluster that was created in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, or you specify a node in one of these clusters, the Add Hosts Wizard discovers all nodes in the cluster and adds
    them to VMM. "
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee236431.aspx
    Also 2012 :
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610648.aspx
    For your case , I  would suggest you to stop VMM service and remove the added cluster from
    scvmm then follow the article and add cluster again .

  • Multiple instances of the same bean class in session?

    I�m trying to think of a way to have multiple instances of the same bean class in session scope using JSF. For example, let�s say that I have two <h:dataTable>s on the same page. They both use the backing bean called genericBean. Now, the content for genericBean will be different for each <h:dataTable>. In fact, the data source that backs genericBean is not known until runtime. It could be a database, web service, etc.
    What I would like is for when JSF needs access genericBean instead of looking for the value with key �genericBean� in the session map it looks for �genericBean_[some runtime ID]�. I could specify this id in EL on a custom component, as a request parameter or whatever.
    I think that I need the bean to be in session scope because the tables are complex and I want them to be editable.
    I have some ideas about how I can do this but I was wondering if someone has already solved this problem or if there is a standard way to do this using tools like Shale, etc.
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Well, I came up with an interesting solution to this so I thought that I would post it here.
    I have a page that looks like this.
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <f:view>
    <f:subview id="component1">
    <jsp:include page="component.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="id" value="a" />
    </jsp:include>
    </f:subview>
    <hr>
    <f:subview id="component2">
    <jsp:include page="component.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="id" value="b" />
    </jsp:include>
    </f:subview>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    And component.jsp looke like this.
    <f:verbatim>
    <p>
    <h1>Component
    </f:verbatim>
    <h:outputText value=" #{param.id}" />
    <f:verbatim>
    </h1>
    </p>
    </f:verbatim>
    <h:form>
    <h:outputText value="#{component.id}" />
    <h:outputText value="#{component.value}" />
    <h:commandButton value="increment" action="#{component.increment}" />
    <h:commandButton value="decrement" action="#{component.decrement}" />
    <f:verbatim>
    <input type="hidden" name="id"
    value="</f:verbatim><h:outputText value="#{param.id}"/><f:verbatim>" />
    </f:verbatim>
    </h:form>
    The idea is that I want component.jsp to be initialized differently based on the id param. The component managed bean is configured to be in session scope but I want the component instance for id a and id b to be different instances in session scope. Therefore, I added a custom variable resolver to handle this.
    public Object resolveVariable(FacesContext context, String name) {
    // This id will be different for the different subviews.
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext() .getRequest();
    String id = request.getParameter("id");
    // If there is an id in the request then check if this is a bean that can have multiple
    // instances in session scope.
    if ((id != null) && (id.length() > 0)) {
    ExternalContext ec = context.getExternalContext();
    // Build the new name for the key of this bean
    String newName = name + "_" + id;
    Object value = null;
    // See if the bean instance already esists.
    if ((null == (value = ec.getRequestMap().get(newName))) &&
    (null == (value = ec.getSessionMap().get(newName))) &&
    (null == (value = ec.getApplicationMap().get(newName)))) {
         // We could not find the bean instance in scope so create the bean
         // using the standard variable resolver.
    value = original.resolveVariable(context, name);
    // Now check if the bean implements that page component interface. If it is
    // a page component then we want to rename the key to access this bean so
    // that the instance is only used when the id is provided in the request.
    // For example, if there are two components (a and b) we will have in session scope
    // component_a and component_b. The will each point to a unique instance of the
    // Component bean class.
    if (value instanceof PageComponent) {
    // Try to get the value again
    if (null != (value = ec.getRequestMap().get(name))) {
         // Initialize the bean using the id
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getRequestMap().remove(name);
    ec.getRequestMap().put(newName, value);
    } else if (null != (value = ec.getSessionMap().get(name))) {
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getSessionMap().remove(name);
    ec.getSessionMap().put(newName, value);
    } else if (null != (value = ec.getApplicationMap().get(name))) {
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getApplicationMap().remove(name);
    ec.getApplicationMap().put(newName, value);
    return value;
    return original.resolveVariable(context, name);
    }

  • Stop opening multiple instances of the same application

    I am used to having graphic files on my desktop, when editing one I would simply right-click and pick "open with" > Photoshop (which is always open in its own desktop in my computer). Now out of the blue, if I do that, it loads another instance of Photoshop, which is certainly what I don't want. I can have 2, 3, 4 Photoshops running at the same time and editing the same image!
    Any idea how to solve this? I searched but all I could find is people wanting the opposite i.e. opening multiple instances of the same app.

    Your best bet to prevent this is to detach or unmount this drive; however, you can also try resetting your Mac's launch services, to have it re-scan only the Applications folders on your boot drive for programs to associate with documents and services you are using. Running the following command in the OS X Terminal will kill the current launch services database (its long, but copy and paste the entire line):
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill
    Following this, run the following command to seed the database with the apps you currently have installed:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -seed
    Note that these changes will only apply when opening documents that have not been specifically assigned to a program. If you find a specific document continues to open the program on the external drive, then you can get info on it and change the associated program in the "Open With" section of the info window. After doing this, you might need to re-run these commands above, as opening the program will register it with OS X's launch services and have it now be available for automatically handling other documents.

  • Problem:Multiple instances of the same applet on a webpage...

    I have an applet which connects to a server to read an XML-file.
    I use Doucument to parse the XML-file like this:
    String xmlurl="http://www.somesite.com/somexmlpage.php";
    Document d =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(xmlurl);
    (...read the XML-file...)
    This works fine.
    However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
    Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
    How can different applets affect each other like this?
    And how can I fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
    Why? But okay.Because the the different applets show information about different items.
    Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a
    taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the
    parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
    How did you determine that's what's happening?By printing out debuginformation.
    Each applet prints out a message (System.out.println) when it creates an instance of Document (ie. connects to the server) and the applet also prints out XML-information as the XML-file is processed.
    But, actually, I was a bit quick in my first post; The applet doesen't neccesarily loose its "incoming data", but the parser looses the data it is parsing. I can download the data from the server first, and then start parsing it. If a taskswitch happens while one applet is parsing, it looses its data, even if the data is allready downloaded.
    I see this since I see another applet making a printout, and when first applet starts again, the parser has lost track of its data.
    It works fine if only one applet is running. And everything is fine until the next applets starts; I can see this from the printout.
    Again, the appet prints out data as it parses the document. I see the next applet starting to work, and when the first one continues parsing again the printout shows that data is no longer there. It happens everytime the runtime switches to another applet, and it never happens if just one applet is running.
    Googeling a little tells me that DocumentBuilder.parse() isn't thread-safe, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it, should it?
    Each applet is a separate process, and not different threads in the same process, aren't they? (Not sure how the runtime treats multiple applets...)And secondly, the applets create their own instance of Document anyways.

  • Use of Multiple instances of the same browser...

    Hi folks,
    I have a question...
    I have inherited a large APEX application, it uses Oracle SSO to log in.
    We are migrating the application to a new set of servers and are running regression tests.
    The testers are logging in using IE6 and opening multiple instances of the application at the same time on both the oldTest and newTest servers.
    So at any one time, there can be:an application Admin user (username ADMINTEST123)  logged into the application on oldTest
    an application Admin user (username ADMINTEST123)  logged into the application on newTest
    an application standard user (username TEST123)  logged into the application on oldTest
    an application standard user (username TEST123)  logged into the application on newTestIs this supported?
    Could someone tell me or point me toward the documentation or thread that lists what is supported / unsupported for browser use with APEX and SSO?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gus..

    Hi lev,
    thanks but sorry, that doesn't really help me, I'm talking about users and their logins, not developers using different browsers while developing apex.
    Also, our users are locked down to IE6 for the foreseeable future.
    Hi Scott,
    I found the following quote from this web site http://aranea.zuavra.net/index.php/80/ about Cookie separation in modern browsers
    *4.3. Internet Explorer 6.0*
    Finally, Explorer is the one that introduces an interesting quirk. It too has separate settings per machine users, although it cannot make use of multiple profiles for the same user.
    The interesting thing is the way it handles session cookies. Normally, long term a.k.a. non-session cookies are stored on disk in the user preferences. However, Explorer has a setting called “browse in new process” which, if enabled, forces a new session with each new window. That’s right, this means that every time you open a new Explorer window it opens a separate process, even though the windows belong to the same user! And, in turn, these processes will NOT share their session cookies.
    Note: By “new window” I mean windows started from shortcuts, from Start Menu entries or by calling iexplore.exe directly somehow (from a file manager, for example). Windows started via Control+N or File/New window run in the same process and share session cookies. Also, please note that it’s a lot more likely for users to click their taskbar shortcut when they need a new window than it is to use the File menu or the Control+N shortcut.+
    Furthermore, ever since version 5.0 the setting cannot be changed manually, by the user. It is automatically determined by the browser based on how much RAM the machine has. Anything with at least 32 MB of RAM gets the “one window, one process” behaviour, which nowadays means almost all machines.
    I have tested the *"new window"* opening methods and found that for IE6 there is NO NEW PROCESS started when the user opens a new window in the following 3 ways:
    from an open window, File>New>Window
    from an open window, CTRL+N
    from an open window, right click>Open in New Window
    So from this can I conclude that from what you say and the results above we may get issues if users login and then open new windows in those ways?
    Thanks,
    Gus..

  • Multiple instances of the same VI running in parallel

    Hi,
    I have a timestamping subVI that looks at a counter channel and applies timestamps. I want to create multiple instances of this subVI (8 to be exact) and have them all run in parallel (looking at 8 different channels). Someone gave me the following advice:
    >>
    Also, in case you want to call multiple instances of the same SubVI, and you want these multiple instances to execute in parallel, you will have to set the SubVI to execute in reentrant mode. Do this by opening the SubVI and going to "Edit >> VI Properties >> Execution" and enable "Reentrant execution".
    <<
    I've tried this but only my second instance (I started simple with only 2 instances) seems to monitor its channel and pass data along to the queue. I've included my code below, I have two signal simulators which simulate singles coming in on channels 2 and 3. I'm using a PCQI 6602 counter/timer card.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,

    good news! Your reentrant VI is working and all three instances are running (as execution highlighting clearly shows). The problem is going to be an error that is occuring but you don't see because you are ignoring the error clusters internally in the timer. It looks like at one point it was set to quit if an error occurred. That still needs to be there.

  • Is there any version of Indesign that allows to open multiple instance at the same time

    I am using Indesign CS3 to generate the bulk reports automatically(programmatically) using Adobe indesign library . One of the key limitation to this tool is it allows to open only one instance at a time unlike word where multiple instances can be opened at the same time. Is there any adobe indesign too version desktop/server which allows to open multiple instances at the same time. Any help on is appreciated. Thanks.

    @PeterG
    You said "You might want to examine the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for  any prohibition against using these two instances at the same time with  the same license; the license does permit two installs for the same user  that are not used simultaneously." I thought that meant you had read the EULA. It's pretty unambiguous on that point.
    For everyone's edification about multiple installations and server use with a standard license here's the relevant text:
    2. Software License.
    If you obtained the Software and any required serial number(s) from Adobe or one of its authorized
    licensees and as long as you comply with the terms of this agreement, Adobe grants you a non-exclusive

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • Starting multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X Tiger

    I am trying to start multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X 10.4, that is, there are several users in this machine, and they all need to use Matlab. Right now, only one user is able to do so, when a second user logs into his/her account and they start Matlab, it does not start. Actually, if one user has X11 open (not even Matlab) and another user tries to start Matlab it won't start. I'm not sure if this is a license problem, an X11 problem, or a Matlab problem.

    Kernel Version: Darwin 8.11.1
    The version of X11 is:
    X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0
    I appreciate your help.

    See this article: An easy way to run multiple instances of any program.
    I believe another alternative is to provide a separate copy of the application in the users own Home folder by placing it in the /Home/Applications/ folder. This may not work for all applications as some simply will not run multiple instances of itself.
    Licensing is of course a separate issue as each unique user may require a license, although many licenses only restrict use to one CPU at a time rather than multiple users on a one CPU.

  • Multiple instances of a service from a bean

    Hi all,
    I have a class that provides a service, however there can multiple instances of this object and I need to retrieve all instances of the service. A simplified version of my function is:
    public MyService getMyService() throws Exception
    if (_myService == null)
    myService = (MyService)getBeanContextServices().getService(bccs, this, myService.class, null, new MyServiceRevokedListener());
    return _myService;
    I guess that I need to return a Collection of MyService objects from this function. When I call getService(...) there is only on instance returned (not surprising really). I have been searching through the documentation for a function that will return all instances of a service. This sounds like functionality that I would have expected to be provided by the API so before I write application specific code, I was wondering if anyone out there could offer some advice.
    Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Chris

    You mean likepublic MyService[] getMyServices()...? If you're looking for an API that returns a set of resources, try java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.

  • How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

    On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
    From my analysis it is NOT:
    1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
    2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
    3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
    It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
    Thanks!

    you're welcome.
    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.
