Can different Versions of LV coexist on a PC

I have LV6.1
Can I install LV8.0 on the same PC but still support all my legacy work on 6.1?

No
problem!. I have LabVIEW 5.1.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, and 8.0 on my
computer. However if you ever have to reinstall it is important to
maintain the order of installation starting from the lowest LabVIEW
version and going up. Also with very old LabVIEW versions you can get
into troubles with some Toolkits and drivers such as NI-DAQ. NI-DAQ for
instance can't coexist in different versions and the newer versions
necessary for LabVIEW 8.0 do not support every LabVIEW version back to
4.x and earlier. I think LabVIEW 6.1 should be just about fine or just
not anymore so check that out but one of the next NI-DAQ releases is
likely to drop that support if it is still present.

Can Essbase be registered with Shared services if they both belong to different versions

Hi All,
I am analyzing a situation whether Essbase can be registered with Shared services and continue to interact with other components like HFM, FR, Web Analysis, FDMEE, DRM etc, where Essbase will be of one version (possibly 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.2.3) and rest of the products will be of a different version (11.1.2.4). I would like to understand if they can coexists and interact with each other in the same landscape and the possible issues or risks associated with it.
Appreciate your responses
Cheers,
Vignesh

There are tabs for "Release Compatibility" on the Certification Matrix that Oracle provide:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/oracle-hyperion-epm-system-certific-131801.xls
Based on that the 'official' answer would seem to be "no", but whether it works is another question (I don't know).

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

How can I save different versions in iMovie 11 (plus angry rant)

Sigh.
My fiancee is sitting in front of the computer crying because iMove just messed up her project. The project that was basically done. The project she has to hand in tomorrow morning (it is midnight right now).
Who knows what happened. Things apparently just jumped around and no amount of undoing is getting her back to where she wants to be (apparently she used undo, then tried to fix things, then tried to undo again).
Which leads me to:
*** was Apple thinking when they removed the ability to save a file? Seriously! Both of us are experienced computer users and both of us are in the (very vital) habit of saving multiple versions of a file. We don't save a version every 10 seconds, and we don't save a version for every insignificant change. But we do save versions whenever we feel we have hit a milestone. And we would have done exactly that had there been some obvious way to do it in iMovie.
OSX Lion (the first version of OSX that desperately makes me want to downgrade) is supposed to autosave so that you don't have to. But iMove 11 apparently cannot do even this simple thing. As far as I can tell you work on your project and it is the *only* version of this project you can ever work on. If you make a change, you can either:
live with it
or
linearly undo as long as you have not quit the program. Heaven forbid that it crashes or (like it just did right now) stops playing back audio and you have to quit and restart.
There must be a way of saving different versions of your project so that you aren't messing with your one and only precious copy every time you make an edit. Please tell me there is. Or how do I get to the autosaved versions? It is probably too late for her now (she has to redo most of the project to get the audio to line up again) but for future reference we could use some help.
Sigh. Now I have to go help her. I feel so bad for her and I pretty much want to chuck the freaking computer through Apple's living room window right now.

Sorry for your frustration.
Here are two tips that may help in the future.
To save a version, use FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a61c0ec
You might also consider using Time Machine backups.

How can I run two different versions of Firefox, the latest does not work with an important site I need to use?

With the latest version of Firefox I cannot send "Quick Mails" to my students using the college's ANGEL system. I had to uninstall it and go to an earlier version. I prefer the newest rev.
Any way to run two different versions. It does not have to be simultaniously. Seems to be a problem on both my Mac and XP systems.
Thanks,
Kim

Currently I don't think there is a way to run two version of firefox at the same time. But you can install Firefox Beta or Aurora instead (which is build for future release for firefox) and help test it! Here's the link:

How can i deploy two different versions of the same application on the same server??

I have two different versions of an application. One is a released version. And another version under development. I need to port this version of the application to the same server. I'm using the same classes and packages(except for some new ones). Is it sufficient if i change the name of my ear(application name). Or should i change my code also.

Hi
You can repackage the new versions of ear,jar and war with different names. I hope that should work well.
Cheers

Can i set up my drive as encrypted with different partitions for different versions of osx?

i have some questions about setting up an encrypted drive with different versions of osx installed on separate partitions, and how this choice effects time-machine and the emergency recovery disk.
I have a new/refurbished macbook pro with a SSD. it already has mavericks installed. i want to fully wipe the drive and reinstall everything my self because I'm odd like that.
first wiping the current drive
Does the recovery partition get wiped if i use disk-utility to reformat the drive. Even thought the recovery partition does not show up as a partition, when i look at it with disk-utility? i would like to know I've wiped all partitions so that no little bugger gets left with out me knowing. Disk-utility does not show the recovery partition and this makes me concerned it might not wipe it.
Does mavericks automatically make a recovery partition during the installation process? Or do i need to make a new 1gb partition for the recovery disk?
Can i have two different partitions on my drive with separate installations of OSX on it? (one for work that i don't update the system os till my current project is done, and the other for experimenting with new software.)
will time machine back up both of the partitions or just one?
can i accomplish all this from a bootable usb drive or do i need to do this in target disk mode?
do i need to use a more capable utility than the stock apple "disk-utility"?
when reformatting the drive should i format it as encrypted or let file vault do this after i install mavericks?
how much does encryption slow down performance for things like photo/video/music production?

Do a backup before you do anything.
Does the recovery partition get wiped if i use disk-utility to reformat the drive
It shouldn't
Does mavericks automatically make a recovery partition during the installation process?
Yes.
Can i have two different partitions on my drive with separate installations of OSX on it?
Yes.
will time machine back up both of the partitions or just one?
It will as long as one partition is not excluded in the Time Machine/Options.
do i need to use a more capable utility than the stock apple "disk-utility"?
No, just boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart).
file vault do this after i install mavericks?
I would let File Vault do that.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How can I handle deploying multiple test systems on the same PC that have been developed using different versions of LabVIEW, TestStand, and/or Switch Executive?

The major issue here is that the test systems must be documented and validated before being released to the production floor. Given this if a test station has multiple test systems deployed on it that have been developed on various versions of LV, TS, and Switch exec how can I force the test system selected to use the correct versions of TS, LV, and Switch exec.? I understand that the solution would be to recomplie everything and bring them up to the latest version but that would then require re-validation according to the QA department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if theTS deployment was more like an LV executable... meaning when a LV executable is launched it always knows what LV runtime engine to use when there are multiple engines installed on a PC.

Hi,
Multiply versions of teststand can reside on the same system, but only one version can run at a time. They is a utility that has to be run to set the active version.
The SequenceFiles have a version number, and you will find an error will be generate if you try to Load the sequencefile in the wrong version of TestStand.
The labview VIs will only work providing the correct version of the RTE is also installed on your system, even a labview executabe requires the correct RTE to be installed, either as part of the executable installation or as a seperate installation, before the labview exe will work correctly.
I'm not fimilar with the Switch exec but I would expect that it will also require the correct lower level device drivers to be available for the version you are using.
Therefore, as you are indicating that some of your system are at a older version, its difficult to image how you could achive this, considering if you say you have different versions of the software(s). For a start, you may have the problem that newer code/ sequencefiles using additional functionatily not available in the older versions.
I would think your only solution would be to have different deployments covering the different versions you have, or at least bring all your test systems up to the same version of teststand.

Can NI-PSP be used to communicate between machines developed with different versions of LabVIEW?

Hi all,
A customer has a large PC application developed with LabVIEW 2010 SP1.
They would like to add extend their system with a cRIO-9075. According to this document (ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/tut/crio_software_versions.htm ), the minimum supported version of LabVIEW (with Scan Engine support) is LV 2011.
To minimize risks, it is preferred that we don't upgrade LabVIEW for the main application, which is atively being used in production.
I was thinking of developing the cRIO software in a newer version of LabVIEW (say, LV 2013 SP1), and using shared variables only to communicate between the PC and the cRIO.
Is this a viable option? Does it matter if the PC and the cRIO have different versions of the LV runtime?

It shouldn't matter, but then with shared variables you can never know for sure -- there are so many things that can make them break.
You might be money ahead to write the comm using TCP/IP. You know that will work.

Can PI work with different versions of MQ?

Hello
I have requirment to let PI (7.1) communication with different versions of MQ (5.3 and 6.0). However I doubt that this is possible.
As for MQ, the JMS drivers of the MQ needs to be deployed to PI. For MQ 5.3 and 6.0, different drivers (6.0 has additional jar files as 5.0) are to be packaged into com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda and deployed to PI. There is no way you can deploy different version of drivers onto the same PI box. even if you can deploy different version of hte driver to PI box, it won't work in runtime, simply because, when the driver is loaded, there is no way to tell PI class loader which version of class (driver) to load.
how do you guys think of this?
Thanks
Jayson

Hi
I think that the 6.0 version should be backword compatible and should work with 5.3 also.
Did you tried it?

Can Station Gloabals from different versions of TestStand be used with TestStand 2010?

I have an older version of TS - ver. 4.01. I just renewed my subscription and have 2010 now. Can StationGlobals from one version be copied directly into the cfg directory of a different version? It appears to work, but I want to make sure there are no underlying problems.

Hi,
Seems like you have answered your own question. When TestStand closes it will update the StationGlobals.ini file so if you were going to have any problems you probably would have seen it then.

Can client dynamically link to shared libraries for different versions ?

Can Oracle client dynamically link to Oracle shared libraries if the versions are different ?
Hi:
I apologize for this newbie question:
We are using PRO C to generate the client C code.
We can compile both dynamic and static versions of our Oracle client.
Our question is:
is it possible to compile a dynamically linked Oracle client in say version 10.1.0.2 and actually run the application against say version 8.1.7.0 environment ?
That is, can an Oracle client dynamically link to the Oracle shared libraries if the versions are different ?
If it is possible, then how to modify the makefile
to enable Oracle client to reference different versions
of shared libraries ?
Thanks
JL
