Build usuccessful in LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an executable. I had included _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs.
This message is all what I get and no executable is created.
The file already exists in the destination.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
Any ideas?

Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Any ideas?
Scientia est potentia!

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

File Dialog and Report Generation Toolkit

Hi,
I designed a VI for an electrometer calibration and it works quite well The only problem I have is the following:
I used the Report Generation Toolkit to put the measurement data in an Excel file. When I run the VI I'd like a window to pop up to define the location and name of the Excel report file. If these two things are done LabVIEW should create the specified Excel file and run the rest of the code.
So i tried this with the "File Dialog" Vi and all the needed low-level File I/O VIs and it worked.
But when i connect the "File Dialog" VI with the "New Report" VI of the Report Generation Toolkit I get an error message.
Is there any solution to get this file dialog pop up window with the Report Generation VIs?
thx for any help...!

LabVIEW 8.6 and report generation toolkit

I was wanting to upgrade to 8.6 but noticed that my rep gen toolkit(1.1.1) is not compatible.
Will NI be offering a free upgrade? or do I have to go to management and ask to purchase rep gen toolkit 1.1.3 for 500 US dollars? Purchasing the same toolkit every few years when you have an SSP for a full development system is getting kind of old.
Brian

Unfortunately there is some delay in us Aussies getting the original DVDs sent to us, so at this stage my NI rep has burned me a copy of the main LabVIEW install but I can't find the Report Toolkit on it.
I am an SSP customer but when I go to the Services Resource Centre I get this message:

Report Generation Toolkit and Office 10 - build errors

Using LabView 2011 and Report Generation Toolkit 2011.
After installing Office 10, I would get build error for Excel-Print.Vi and Excel-SetCell.vi and build is then aborted.
2011/vi.lib/addons/_office/_excelsub.llb/Excel-Print.vi.
Says it is unable to save a vi without a block diagram.
Uninstalled Office 10 and reinstalled Office 2003 and build went thru just fine.
I can program using Excel 2003 and the compiled executable will work on another computer with Excel 2011 but once I install Office 10 on my LabVIEW computer I cannot build.
Can't believe I could be the only one to experience this. Any workarounds?

Report Generation Toolkit and Application Builder

I am going insane trying to work this out.
I am trying to build an EXE program using Application Builder. The program uses the Office Report Generation Toolkit.
I have tried including the dynamic VIs into the project, both from the Development machine and from the CD. I still have the same problem : the application does not start Excel. It is like the commands go into a black hole. There isn't even an error message.
I have attached my report VI for you to peruse. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, Labview 8.2
Office Toolkit = 1.1.1
I have tried many combinations of what files are included, from just the top level VI, to every VI in the heirarchy tree (a major pain). I am now trying to rebuild the project from scratch and see if that does anything.

Application builder-Office report generation toolkit

Hi,
I remember there was a trick to get the executable work with different
versions of Microsoft office but I cannot find it now. The problem it to get
the exe work with some other office version that it was made. I use LabVIEW
7.0 - 7.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.01 for Microsoft office. Was that
possible?
Thanks Eki

Eki,
When you use the Report Generation Toolkit to build a stand-alone application with the Application Builder, you must add _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs. These two VIs contain subVIs that are called dynamically by the high-level Report Generation VIs. I believe that if you grab these VIs from the (desired office version part of the) installation CD instead of from the development machine, then everything should work.

Report Generation Toolkit Excel Vi's do not run after creating an executable. What am I missing?

I have labview 8.5 and Report Generation Toolkit version 1.1.2. My vi works fine during development. When I make an executable or an installer the excel vi's do not work. I have seen this question posted before but it has always been for earlier revisions and the answers do not seem to apply with 8.5 and 1.1.2.

Hello ajh,
You will have to include Dynamic VIs in the executable you build. The following link has more information:

Problem with report generation toolkit when installed new office 2010

Dear all, I had LabView 8.6.1 and report generation toolkit for MSoffice 2003 perfectly working in my laptop.
Now I have added MSoffice 2010 and report generation toolkit does not work anymore since it is linked to new office.
How can I inform Labview to link report generation toolkit to the old MSoffice 2003?
regards
Max

The Report Generation Toolkit is ActiveX based. When you install the newest version of Office it registers the ActiveX server for that software, which the toolkit adapts to and uses.
Uninstalling Office 2010 would solve the issue, otherwise you will need to look at unregistering the 2010 component of Office ActiveX - but I'm not sure if that's possible.

800706BA RPC server unavailable in Report Generation toolkit

Hi all,
I've got a problem with LabVIEW 7.1.1 and Report Generation Toolkit (RGTK).RGTK is used to connect to MS-Word, create a new document from template and report test results. Works like a charme when stying local on the respective test machine.
LabVIEWs 'Automation Open' node as wella as other parts of the RGTK have an control 'machine name' so I suspected I could bring a report server into game. Tried it and get an error "0x800706BA - The RPC server is unavailable in myTestVI" (translated from German Windows error).
All the required subVIs to create a document have been put into a small test app. This one runs fine when running on the desired report server, but fail when opened and run on the devellopment machine.
I have searched extensively for that error code and have changed some port settings in the firewalls and some services settings with no success. Can anyone help me out?
BTW, on the remote machine a new process named WINWORD is started, but nothing more.
TIA!

Hi Lul,
The error 0x800706BA is, as you said, a windows error (and, btw, your translation was correct as the original title is "The RPC server is unavailable").
You can try to fix it with MicrosoftFixit :

What is the version of LabVIEW and Report Generation Toolkit you are using? Have you taken a look at the LabVIEW Example Column Graph (Excel).vi
and looked at the help for Excel Insert Graph VI and Excel Set Graph Font?

Report Generation Toolkit and App Builder question..

Hello,
I am in process of modifying my test code for writing my data to Excel. When I first developed the tests I did not have the Report Toolkit of Excel so I built the ActiveX VIs I needed. Now since I have upgraded to 7.1.1 with the MSOffice Toolkit I am rewriting my test code to use the toolkit VIs as it seems to work much better and faster then what I had done.
My question is this. Since I have my testcode distributed to multiple machines when I build my App, do I need to add every Dynamic VI within the toolkit to my App? if so is there and simple way to find exactly which dynamically called VIs are used within the toolkit VIs?
Thanks

Exe build with database conn and report generation vi's?

I tried to build an .exe and learned the hard way that there are many things needed to be included for this to work. As is now my program is not working.
I wanted to get a list of necessary steps to make a successful build. Please correct me if I am wrong or missing anything:
1. For the report generation toolkit I must include a few support files (_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb)
2. For the database connectivity: I must follow NI's User guide by implementing the toolset build script function? Is there an easier way?
If there are any simpler ways to get this working please let me know.

Thanks for the response,
Yes I have the runtime installed. I also got the program working correctly by doing the following:
LV 8.6 and greater-->
1. added two folders to the project from the project explorer menu.
      a. Utilities folder
      b. LVClass folder
2. during the .exe build I had to:
      a. add LVClass folder to always include in source file settings
      b. browse in the Utilities folder to NIReportLLB folder and add that to always include as mentioned above (note: if you add the whole utilities folder you will get a broken vi error when building it, even if you fix the vi it still didn't work properly for me so I just included the folder I needed for word/excel)
took about a day to troubleshoot and fix but the program is working as expected. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).

I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie

Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
Thanks,
Callahan

Hi Callahan,
SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.
Phil
