Building standalone applications?

Hi !
I am trying to build standalone applications in LabView, and I wonder is
this possible?
I have the application builder in LabView 5.1 with Imaq 4.01.

Bing,
From your previous posts it looks like you would like to download your FPGA VI to your cRIO modules and then have the application run at start up without the need of a PC to initiate the start. If this is what you are intending it is possible to download an FPGA VI to the Flash Memory of an FPGA Device. Instructions for this can be found by launching the Embedded Project Manager and selecting Help >> VI, Function, How to Help >> FPGA Module >> Running FPGA VIs >> Downloading FPGA to Flash Memory. This should work well if you are intending to run application as completely stand alone. Since there will be no communication with the host there would be no need for a Host Vi and the you would only need the FPGA vi to run the application.
Are you intending to create an application that will not communicate with a host PC or were you wanting to create and executable that you could distribute?

Run standalone applications on E-Business Suite Application Server

Hi,
Environment Details:
Database - 10.2.0.3
Apps. - 12.0.3
We have a 6i client-server Forms & Reports application that we want to web-enable. This is a standalone application that has no integration with the E-Business Suite. We would like to use the E-Business Suite application server forms and reports servers to run this application too.
I had two questions:
1. Are there any documents available that would document best practices for such a scenario?
2. Is it possible to create a standalone report server on the E-Business Suite reports server or is there a way to integrate the standalone application reports with the EBS report server?
Thanks,
Ramesh

Standalone application through BOE SDK

Hi,
I am new to SDK development so trying out different things with the SDK. The first experiement that I did was trying to build a standlone application through BOE SDK. The main purpsoe of this application is to connect the enterprise and get some details about an info object. But while building out this application I have noticed few issues:
   1. The getInstalledAuthIDs method of the ISessionMgr class is not returing any available authentication types.
   2. While trying to login using the logon method of the ISessionMgr using the secEnterprise as Enterprise, it's throwing the following exception:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$PluginNotFound: The plugin secEnterprise does not exist
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.pluginmgr.internal.PluginMgr.getPluginInterface(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.security.internal.o.a(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.security.internal.t.a(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.security.internal.t.userLogon(Unknown Source)

     at com.bo.boesdk.tutorials.Login.createEnterpriseSession(Login.java:41)
     at com.bo.boesdk.tutorials.Login.main(Login.java:55)
I have noticed that all tutorials associated with SDK are all using eithe JSP/ASP to demonstrate features of SDK. There is none exists on using the standalone application. Is it we can't build any standalone application using the BOE SDK?

The BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK is only tested and fully supported in web applications - that's the reason why the documentation only describes its use in JSP/Servlet code.
As for the specific exception you're getting - it may be caused since you're missing jar files.
If using XI Release 2, then I'd reference the jars found by default in <install>\common\3.5\java\lib and <install>\common\3.5\java\lib\external.
If using XI 3.0, then I'd use the documentation found [here|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/7298].

DAQmx drivers needed to calculate statistics in a standalone application ?

Hi!
My standalone application analyzes measured data and saves statistics into Access database. It uses Statistics express VI, among the others. It does not use any data acquisition library. I've made an installer to install it on my customer's computer. After installation I tried to run the application but an error occured (see below).
Well, it works now (after few hours). But my opinion is that my solution is a little bit strange: I simply installed DAQmx drivers.
1. Is this a bug ?
2. How to explain my customer why does he need 1GB of hardware drivers ?
Fortunately, It was not necessary to use any special procedure tu run Database Connectivity Toolset: see this link, for example
Best regards ,
Ljubo.
P.S.: Developer Suite 8.6, Win XP Pro, DAQmx 8.8, MS Office 2003.

Hi Dennis,
let me repeat the whole story once again:
About
two years ago the same problem occured (with LabView 7.0 or 8.0, I
don't know exactly). Our local NI representative happened to be present
and we discussed the problem but we didn't find the solution. Instead
of using Statistics Express VI I made my own subVIs and the problem was
solved (and forgotten).
I've already checked my
customer's computer this morning and everything seems to be OK. DLL
library lvanlys.dll is installed in "data" folder.
To eliminate unnecessary details I've created a new project (see the attachment, please).
I
installed the program on my colleague's PC (my colleague never used
LabView in his life). The result is the same. You can see the error
report in the second attachement.
Then I've copied lvanlys.dll
file to all folders where programs usually search libraries: Windows,
Windows\system, Windows\system32 and Program Files\Mean4V. But program
can't find the library NI_AALBase.lvlib.
Obviously,
installation of DAQmx drivers adds something which is missing in my
build specification. I hope someone could explain what I'm doing wrong.
With best regards,
Ljubo.

Strange current VI`s path returned in standalone application

I know that there is a difference in the path returned when using the "Current VIs path" in the development environment and in a standalone application, but this is not what I had expected: This is the path returned from the Current VIs path in the standalone application:
C:\LabView-programmer\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\builds\rad.exe\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\rad.vi. Why is this the correct path to the VI?
If I strip this path once, and build a new path with the name of my dynamically called VI I get: C:\LabView-programmer\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\builds\rad.exe\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\instr.vi. It starts from this path, but It won`t load some text-files located at C:\LabView-programmer\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\builds\kal-data without making changes to the instr.vi.
I tried to used the App.Dir property to find the correct top level directory, and it returns C:\LabView-programmer\RADHAZ-programmer\RADHAZ\builds as expected. But this is not the path that the dynamically called VI need.
Any suggestions is appreciated..
I searched for a detailed tutorial for setting up the build specification, but didn`t find any that helped much.

Standalone applications in labview evaluation version

Can I make Standalone applications in labview 8.6 evaluation version??
Can this application work on other computers which do not have labview installed??

You cannot because in the evaluation copy there is no application builder.

Standalone application questions

Hi,
Question 1:
I have a data acquisition application using Labview. Four analog channels are recorded on HDD and displayed on waveform chart continuously.
Development application runs fine but standalone application on DELL laptop has problems: waveform does not show proper Grids; sometimes vertical and horizontal grid lines are broken. There is no problem recording data but only problem is displaying waveform.
The same standalone application used to run without any problem but after some minor modification, it behaves strange.
Any suggestions to fix the waveform display problems will be greatly appreciated.
Question 2:
�VI Property > Customize Windows Appearance > Show abort button� unchecked will disappear ABORT
button from VI. .After standalone application compilation and installation, the ABORT button was visible. How hide the ABORT button on the standalone application.
Question 3:
Can I replace Labview default RUN button with custom button, I want to hide Labview default RUN button and want to make a separate RUN button. Can I access property node or local variable of that RUN button?
Thanks in advance,
Kishor

About question 1.
I had some strange behaviour with charts and transparent backgrounds.
Perhaps it's something like this...
About question 2.
Perhaps you have made a build script that has the properties set. After
changing the VI, loading the build script might overwrite the VI settings.
About question 3.
You should modify the VI to wait for a button to be pressed (a while, 10 MS
wait, and a button). Let the VI start automatically (run when opened). This
has the same effect.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Standalone application...

How do i build a standalone application or exe file. Is it able to run on a pc which does not have any labview program installed in it.....

You need Application Builder. If you have a basic version of LabVIEW, you've to pay extra ~$1000 to get it. Otherwise, it's already on your LabVIEW menubar.
You can use it to create an installation package including all files needed to run on another pc which have no LabVIEW on it.

How to use JDBC Connection Pools in a standalone application?

Hi, there,
I have a question about how to use JDBC Connection Pools in an application. I know well about connection pool itself, but I am not quite sure how to keep the pool management object alive all the time to avoid being destroyed by garbage collection.
for example, at the website: http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/626291, there is a simple connection pool implementation. there are three classes:JDBCConnection, the application's gateway to the database; JDBCConnectionImpl, the real class/object to provide connection; and JDBCPool, the management class to manage connection pool composed by JDBCConnectionImpl. JDBCPool is designed by Singleton pattern to make sure only one instance. supposing there is only one client to use connection for many times, I guess it's ok because this client first needs instantiate JDBCPool and JDBCConnectionImpl and then will hold the reference to JDBCPool all the time. but how about many clients want to use this JDBCPool? supposing client1 finishes using JDBCPool and quits, then JDBCPool will be destroyed by garbage collection since there is no reference to it, also all the connections of JDBCConnectionImpl in this pool will be destroyed too. that means the next client needs recreate pool and connections! so my question is that if there is a way to keep pool management instance alive all the time to provide connection to any client at any time. I guess maybe I can set the pool management class as daemon thread to solve this problem, but I am not quite sure. besides, there is some other problems about daemon thread, for example, how to make sure there is only one daemon instance? how to quit it gracefully? because once the whole application quits, the daemon thread also quits by force. in that case, all the connections in the pool won't get chance to close.
I know there is another solution by JNDI if we develop servlet application. Tomcat provides an easy way to setup JNDI database pooling source that is available to JSP and Servlet. but how about a standalone application? I mean there is no JNDI service provider. it seems a good solution to combine Commons DBCP with JNID or Apache's Naming (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/index.html). but still, I don't know how to keep pool management instance alive all the time. once we create a JNDI enviroment or naming, if it will save in the memory automatically all the time? or we must implement it as a daemon thread?
any hint will be great apprieciated!
Sam

To my knoledge the pool management instance stays alive as long as the pool is alive. What you have to figure out is how to keep a reference to it if you need to later access it.

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,

Open vi reference problems in labview 7 after building an application

I have a vi with an Open VI Reference vi in it.
This works fine. But when I build an application of it and run the vi it gives problems.
I get an Open VI Reference error. Why?

If you have strict typedefs for the dynamic loaded VIs you need to include the line "BldApp.RemovePolyVIsandTypedefs=False" into your LV ini file. See this discussion.

I get a "vi is not executable" error when building an application.

I have an ongoing project that has worked fine in the past when building an application. I have recently added some report generation toolkit vis(Excel) and get an error for some of the ni vis and some of my own that call lower level excel vis. The error is that he vi is not executable, however they run fine in the development environment. I do not get this error if I save all vi's into one llb with save with options command and then build. However, when I try to run the app, this error re-appears. Also, do I have to add the dynamically loaded vi's that are part of the toolkit in my build script? Could this be the cause of the problem? If so, what's the best way to find all of them? Any suggestions?

You have hit in on the nail! You do need to add the dynamically loaded VIs when you are creating an executable from your VI. You need to add _wordsub.lib and _exclsub.lib as dynamically loaded VIs into your executable. Try this and let us know if you have any more problems with it.

Can I programmatically copy vi within llb AND build an application?

I previously posted the question how to programmatically work (copy, delete) on files within llbs and got two answers to use the librarian vis in vi.lib > utility > libraryn.llb
That works really good but only till I try to build an application. The application builder seems to use the librarian vis also and complains that it cannot build an application with vis that are currently in use...
Any idea how to solve that?
Cheers, Daniel Troendle

Make a copy of all the VIs used by the librarian and save them under a
different name (making sure to link the sub-VIs to the new name of course.
Awkward, but it should work.

Looking for a standalone application/system menu

Most (all?) desktop environments features some kind of application menu in the panel. But for the people running more lightweight environments (like just a tiled wm) have no reason to have an extra panel around just for the menu.
I know about application launchers, such as launchy and gmrun, but the thing I'm looking for is something that could give me a list of all "bigger" programs installed, grouped by category. Because, simply, I can never remember all stuff I've installed over the years.
So I'm thinking: there must be someone out there that has developed a standalone application menu?
Either the program could just scan the "/usr/share/applications" direcotry, or one could try to extract the menu part from a panel program, such as lxpanel?

Hey, adeskmenu seem to be exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks a lot! :-)
(now just need to find out why the aur version crashes... no problem, though. seems to be other versions around that works)

Error while building an application

Who can help me.
Today I started LabVIEW and I want to build my application and I got this error:

I've build applications in the past without any problems but now.....
Thanks for any help

So I've tried it on an other PC and it was working again.
I don*t know why.
But when I tried to copy it back it was the saem although I did a mass compile on the other PC.
What have I done.
I took one of the old versions and modified it over the weekend.
But if somebody know what's happened or someone has any solution let me know.
@RMathews: I have the LabVIEW 8.5 Developer Studio including the Report Generation Toolkit on both PCs.
