Build error: an input parameter is invalid

I am looking for help with a build error. I am getting the following error message when I try to build a project in 8.5.1:
Error 1 occurred at Open VI Reference in AB_Source_VI.lvclasspen_Reference.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.

Did you check to see if the KB Hunter posted resolves the issue?
If you're opening a project in a newer version of LabVIEW, then there's a chance the mass compile tool might work. It will open and save all of the VIs within a specified folder. The tool is fairly self-explanatory, and you can access it from within LabVIEW by going to "Tools --> Advanced --> Mass Compile..."
Good luck!

Edit - Create SubVI results in error "an input parameter is invalid [...] cannot save VI"

I get this error with some frequency. I select a bunch of my block diagram, create a subVI only to find that it is unsaveable. Here are the steps I take to reproduce this:
Select a portion of code
Edit -> Create SubVI
open the new subVI
try to save it and this message pops up (without showing the Save dialog)
I get past this by saving a snippet and making a new VI.
I'm using LabVIEW 2012 on Windows XP, but I had it happen with LabVIEW 2011 as well.
I read through this thread, but it's not the same situation because my message doesn't have an associated error code. No variation of "Save As" has any effect, either.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you any suggestions to help me resolve it?
Jim

Greetings, Jim;
I see the error happens with some frequency, is there anything that seems to bring that error to light or does it just seem to happen randomly when saving to a SubVI? That is to say, does it seem to happen when you are using/saving a particular set of VI's or a module or some such, or completely haphazardly? Is there any hardware that you are attempting to connect to in that VI as well?
If you try to save the SubVI and get that error, can you simply save the main VI again without a problem? Finally, you have also seen this behaviour in 2011, did it happen with similar frequency?

Error 1 an input parameter is invalid on cluster wire

I have a system with numerous subvi's, however all seems to compile ok and when I run the top level vi it seems to be working fine. However when I press a button to launch a routine that calls numerous sub vis, I get an error:
Labview: An input parameter is invalid. For example, if the input is a path, the path may contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
The top level VI "mastercontrol2.vi" was stopped at Wire on the block diagram of "FPGASigGen_GetDataPont.vi".
[OK]
I am then taken to the block diagram of the said VI, and the section of pink cluster wire from the cluster constant is highlighted, in the section just after it enters the while loop. The top level VI then stops executing.
I have tried rebuilding this part of the code in different ways, but always with the same result. The suggested cause in the error message is clearly a red herring, because I don't do any file access anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just because you see a reference number in the probe does not mean that the reference is valid. If a parallel process closes the reference, you will still have that reference number, but the reference will become invalid. This is the usual case for an error code 1 when dealing with references.

Error Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: i_sid,value 0)

Hi ,
i got this error "Error Inconsistent input parameter (parameter: i_sid,value 0)" after i execute the query that i have created. How can i solve this problem?
regards,
soonwee

Hello,
(I know, the answer is a year late, but at least it will be documented for the future: i've recently had the same error in my system)
I have debugged the problem and found that the exception happens somewhere after Include LRSDRC_INFOCUBEF06, form BASIC_QUERY_DATA_GET_ROLAP and PERFORM check_for_request0.
You can also get this error if you execute the transaction LISTCUBE for the Infocube, or if you click on "display data" in the context menu of an InfoCube in RSA1.
The reason for the problem seems to be the missing "initial" record in the InfoObject "REQUID".
This InfoObject tracks all the requests/data packages in your BW system, and usually has the similar contents:
select * from /BI0/SREQUID
REQUID                                            SID         CHCKFL DATAFL INCFL
                                                                0          X     X     X
REQU_4D9N9016ZEBZXYL3FKRS5Z5BK    8
ODSR_4D9N908VICXPGL4JLEU4G141C     9
However, if the initial record with SID = 0 is missing, you may get the described error.
The problem can be fixed by adding this record to two tables:
(example for adding this record from the DB2 SQL interpreter; syntax may be slightly different with other DB platform)
insert into "/BI0/SREQUID" values ('',0,'X','X','X')
insert into "/BI0/RREQUID" values (0,'')
(NOTE: the '' are two single quotes without any value between them, and not the double quote mark )
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Sergiy Malikov.

Getting Error with date parameter field -"Invalid DATE"

Hi
I created a report with 9.2 version. And i created 2 date parameter fields in it. And within crystal reports it works fine.
But If, I call from the VS2005 crystalreport.net(report document) SDK , i am getting error as Invalid Date" enter a Date Value". Actually it is a dtp control. how can i modify it.

There's not enough details to get a good understanding of your scenario, but it sounds like you're using some kind of date control to retrieve the date value and pass it to the report's parameter field at runtime. If this is correct, it sounds like the format of the date value from the control may not be what the report is expecting. To debug, I would first use hardcoded values when you set the report parameter fields to see what works. Then compare that to what the return value is from the control to see if they match. I suspect the formats differ. I did a quick search on the BOBJ kbase and found a couple of articles that may help you. I recommend searching as there are lots of information on how to set parameter fields at runtime. <a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010247&sliceId=&dialogID=8582434&stateId=1 0 8584068" target="_blank">c2010247</a><a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010251&sliceId=&dialogID=8582434&stateId=1 0 8584068" target="_blank">c2010251</a>-MJ

One additional note. I have not had to use Regular Expressions very much, so I'm somewhat of a novice. My FIRST attempt to match either the Verbose or Abbreviated commands from the DSO was as follows:
:WFMP.*:XZE.* $
In words, what I’m trying to say is, “Match any instance of “:WFMP”, followed by any number of any character, followed by “:XZE” followed by any number of any character, and ending with a Space character.” It sure seemed like that should work...but it did not within the VI. That was when I tried other options and found the longer, "A or B" type of match would work, as described in my previous post.
This morning, a buddy sent me links to a couple of websites where you can experiment with Regular Expressions and see if your input is getting matched correctly. By using one of those tools, it appears that my initial attempt IS VALID, but yet, it didn't work within LabVIEW (8.6 for me). I have read some other posts RE: "Bugs" within the way LabVIEW works with Regular Expressions, so maybe this is something similar. But at least I'm up and running by using the long-way.

Sup Blackberry - input parameter error

Hi ,
I am developing a blackberry application which fetches data from sap and displays it .
It works fine when i give default value for my order number .
when i create a editbox and map it to my parameter and then on click of a button i want to match the value entered in the editbox and display the result according to that value it throws a error saying input parameter is required , when i have entered value for that .
i am using synchronization parameter concept for fetching the data at run time .
how can it be done .
Regards .

Hi,
This can be done and I did that a lot of times now. I know its not documented anywhere and even I tried to figure out for almost 3 days before I could achieve it.
Actually the process includes creating a synchronization parameter for an MBO and mapping it to input/import parameters on MBO and then mapping these synchronization parameters to screen elements.
Steps, considering a scenario where you want to display order details based on order number entered by user in a Edit box and on click on DISPLAYDETAILS button :
1. Create MBO using some RFC/BAPI
2. Go to properties and add synchronization parameters. May be you can prefix them with SV_ORDER just to understand that it is a synchronization parameter.
3. Then you need to map the synchronization parameter to the input parameters on the MBO. With that your MBO is ready and you can deploy it.
4. Now coming to device applicaiton, create a screen with a edit box and a button. Now go to button properties and there you can add various actions. One of the action is Sycnrhonize, select that and then it launches the wizard. In that wizard you need to map the edit box to the synchronization parameter SV_ORDER which you created in 2nd step.
5. Deploy the application and you are all set to go.
Regards,
Siva.

Build error when using custom error codes

This only occurs the first time I attempt to build my application. If I build again immediately after receiving the error, everything works fine. My custom error codes were created using the provided editor, and I have included the file in my project. I have also checked the "Copy error codes" box in the advanced build specification settings.

Hi Donovan,
The attached project is giving me the error previously discussed. Thanks for your help.

Note I do not use any GPIB. Also when I build the project on VL 2009 (no SP1) on a different machine, I get no errors. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ugh. I've seen this in 2009 as well as quite a few others here. There seems to be no real explanation or consistent solution to this error. 1st thing to try is to remove all boolean constant-driven case selectors. For some reason the compiler gets confused with those - sometimes. See how that goes. Eventually this problem seems to resolve itself after a few days of development. That's been my experience. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Application Builde Error

When I build my application in Labview 6.1(Win 2000), the error is "Error 1 occurred at Snd Gen Error Call Chain.Vi\., possible reason:
Labview: An input parameter is invalid", What sould I solve this problem?
Thanks.

Typically, this occurs when vi's have duplicate names. Find all instances of Snd Gen...vi and rename the dupes.

I have a question. When I load my data from a DSO to a infocube it loads succesvol. But when i try to look at the data in the infocube I get the error "Inconsistent input parameter (Parameter: i_sid, value 0). Does someone know the solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks,
in case somebody else come accross this problem.
this simple code solved the problem.
REPORT Z_TEST.
data wa_/BI0/SREQUID type /BI0/SREQUID.
wa_/BI0/SREQUID-requid = 0.
wa_/BI0/SREQUID-sid = 0.
INSERT INTO /BI0/SREQUID VALUES wa_/BI0/SREQUID.

Log Error : Invalid Input Parameter %s for every SAP B1 Client

Hi Everybody,
in my company we have performed SAP B1 upgrade from 2007A to 8.81 PL07, in two steps upgrading first to PL04.
Everything is working fine for all our clients, we are able to post and work normally with the system.
The only annoying problem is an error message coming up every minute for every client in the log:
SQLMessage Error I Technical Invalid input parameter: %s # # MID=-1 BOID=-1 BO= UserID=manager C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe Version=8.81.315 Area= PID=1316 TID=4340 D:\depot\BUSMB_B1\8.8_SP1_REL\SBO\8.8_SP1_REL\Application\__Engines\DBM\__DBMC_DataBase.cpp 9547
I couldn't find anything regarding this topic in the forum, only one similar post but unanswered.
We are using two server: one for the licence server and one for the database (the database server is clustered)
Does anyone have any idea about this? Has it ever happened to anybody?
Thanks for your help

Hi Julie,
it must be a triggered action from the system. The only problem is that log files grow very big, few mb every day, and it is a situation that's not very ideal. And also i don't want to turn them off because it is always a good resource for other errors.
It is very strange that SAP hasn't noticed this behaviour and there isn't any note available for the purpose.
Thanks for your help

Dynamically passing text and url-based images as an input parameter to cf8 report builder

I'm unsuccessfully trying to dynamically pass text and url-based images to a group footer or the detail section via an input parameter or even hardcoded. The field has the attribute 'XHTML Text Formating' set to True. The following are failed samples of a simplified value:
"<img height=’300’ alt=’Document’ width=’300’ src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
or
"<img src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
This just results in the above text being output. The end result would have various text and images from a database as input by a user, thus the reason I cannot just use the hyperlink information attribute as I could if it were a single known image. I tried rtf and pdf report types. Ideas?

HTH,
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, although I don't know how many images my user might need or what sizes so that might be tricky.
Since my target output is rtf so that MS Word can be used to edit the result, I added a pagebreak to a MS Word doc and used the resulting html source to replace the rich text editor source code for the page break, but that did not help either. The page break was so a user could add an image later. Something is wrong with the Report Builder related to intepreting XHTML, especially anything that has an attribute, including URL-based image links. I hope they try to provide another update before CF9. I doubt my client will be going to CF9 for some time, since they are just completing the migration to CF8.
