Compare VIs with same name under LabVIEW 8?

Hi,
if I remember correctly, LabVIEW 8 can now load VIs with the same name into memory, which means that a comparison between two VIs having the same name should work. Nevertheless, I get the same message like in older LabVIEW versions when trying to load those two VIs. Is there a fast and simply way for such a comparison without renaming one of the VIs?
Regards,
Gabs

Of course gmart is right, I was talking of the project libraries. I know I should not have called them Vi libraries
Here is soem information as it can be found inside the LabVIEW help:
LabVIEW Project Libraries
LabVIEW project
libraries are collections of VIs, type definitions, shared variables,
palette menu files, and other files, including other project libraries. When you
create and save a new project
library, LabVIEW creates a project library file (.lvlib), which includes the properties of the project
library and references to the files that the project library owns.
Project libraries are useful if you want to organize files into a
single hierarchy of items, avoid potential VI name duplication, limit public
access to certain files, limit editing permission for a collection of files, and
set a default palette menu for a group of VIs.
You can view the structure of a project library from the
Project Explorer window or in a stand-alone project library
window. If the Project Explorer window is not open, navigate to
a project library file to open it in the project library window.
You also can create
project libraries from folders in a project.
Use project libraries to organize a virtual, logical hierarchy of
items. A project library file does not contain the actual files it owns, unlike
an LLB, which is a physical file that contains VIs. Files that a project library
owns still appear individually on disk in the directories where you saved them.
A project library might have a different organizational structure than its files
on disk.
Use project libraries to qualify the names of VIs and other
LabVIEW files. LabVIEW identifies VIs by filename. If you load a VI with the
same name as a VI already in memory, LabVIEW uses the VI already in memory, an
issue known as cross-linking. When a VI is part of a project library, LabVIEW
qualifies the VI name with the project library name to avoid cross-linking. A
qualified filename includes the filename and the owning project library
filename.regards

  • Open Vi reference for Vis with same names

    Using VI server, is there any way to open reference to a VI on the hard disk even thought a VI with the same name (but different path) is already loaded in memory? I'm trying to see if it's possible without renaming and making sure every single VI I use has a distinct name.

    For now, I can give different names but as the # of modules increases, it will be hard to have some Vis that don't have the same name.
    It wont be tough to keep distinct names.
    Just prefix or suffix your module name to the original VI name, so that you SDs will have VIs with same/similar functionality, but never conflict with each other when called during run-time. This is the procedure we follow in our project currently. We have gone ahead with the extent of packing all the DUT SDs (LLBs) into one complete auto-installer, so that in the target PC, everything get unbundled & installed into the appropriate folders that we have added while creating the installer.

  • Can I run 2 different domains with same name but on 2 different machines?

    Yes you can. Make sure that domains configured to use different multicast address. WLS uses multicast for communications between nodes in domain.
              although your configuration will work, you could have troubles if you going to execute inter-domain calls between domains/servers with the same names.

  • Automator and applescript to copy new files in a folder with same name as parent folder

    I have an iMac with a pictures folder (Finder folder) containing several subfolders with pictures. As per now, all these subfolders are imported into an iPhoto library (and the structure of the Finder pictures folder is thus maintained: The iPhoto events are named the same as the Finder subfolder). I.e. I have not created any albums in iPhoto.
    I have also set up a workflow, where new iPhone photos are automatically being synced to specified Finder folders within the iMac pictures folder. So what I want to do is to make a workflow to import potential new photos from week to week into the existing iPhoto structure. I know iPhoto has this Autoimport folder, so this one is unpacked and "mapped". So, this is what I´m hoping to do:
    Automator (iCal - want to do this on a weekly basis):
    - Get specified Finder items -- set to target folder = iMac pictures folder
    - Get folder content (with subfolders)
    - Filter Finder items
         - Items from the last 7 days (which then would be any new files created last week)
    - Applescript/shell script loop(?)
         - Get folder name for each file´s (from previous step) parent folder
         - Create new folder with same name as the file´s parent folder (if not already existing) under the iPhoto Autoimport folder
         - Copy the given file into the folder from above
    - Run iPhoto application (Automator task), which then should just auto import the new photos according to the Finder folder structure
    Whith the workflow above, I aim to maintain the existing iPhoto structure, and just import new photos into the existing structure. Creating folder names under the Autoimport, similar as the existing Finder folder names / iPhoto events should make it possible to have the new files imported under the existing event, right?

    Anyone?
    I have now switched to Aperture (from iPhoto) due to Aperture´s capability to handle Finder folder structure, and due to the possibility of having the pictures within Aperture as referenced files to the pictures within the Finder folders (i.e. possibility to delete pictures from both library and Finder folder at the same time).
    So I have a superior Finder folder called "Album". Within "Album" I have several subfolders (sub albums) containing pictures. The "Album" folder with subfolders are imported into Aperture as "Projects and albums", and the pictures are uploaded within the Aperture structure as referenced files. So for now the Aperture structure is more or less a direct mirror of the Finder folder structure, whereas "Album" is the project.
    And this is my current workflow in Automator, but I´m searching help with my Applescript:
    - Get specified Finder items (target folder = the superior Finder folder "Album")
    - Get Folder content
    - Filter Finder items (to look for potential new files to import into Aperture)
         - Kind is not folder
         - Date created last X days
    The output files from this task enters an Applescript
    on run {input, parameters}
           repeat with f in input (**Loop**)
                   tell application "Finder"
                          set fileName to name of (f)
                          set parentFolder to name of container of (f)
                          tell application "Aperture"
                                 tell library 1
                                        tell project "Album"
                                               if (exists album parentFolder) then
                                                 ** I then would like to check if fileName already exist within the existing album**
                                                 ** If not existing, I would like to import file f into the existing album as a referenced file**              
                                               else if not (exists album parentFolder) then
                                                       make new album with properties {name:parentFolder}
                                                ** I then would like to import file f into the new album as a referenced file**
                                               end if

  • How to get Unique calid for users with same name in multiple domain env..

    I found we need to use "-k legacy" option for creating users in non-hosted setup..
    I had two domains default as xxxx.com and the one that I created as yyyy.com
    When I have users with same name in two of the domains as user1..
    The calid for both of them is... user1 ....so they share the same calendar
    When Im in valid SSO of yyyy.com I get the mail account for user1 as [email protected] .....but the calid .. common as user1
    How I can get unique calid for users under two domains..
    whether I need to set Hosted domain support...Then how the mailid's differ with out using hosted domain support..
    And I need to login UWC without using @domain.com...
    Help me on this...
    Ashik

    Do you have UWC and Cal configured at least for virtual domain support?
    basically.. for discussion.. let's say you have three domains on your server.. 1st domain is the default domain. other 2 domains are virtual domains.
    if all domains were created with mail and cal support (-S mail,cal).. you would use the following options when creating users:
    1) for the default domain.. you must use the "-k legacy" option when adding users.
    2) for the other two domains.. when you create the user.. do NOT use a "-k" option.
    If you do not use the "-k" option.. it defaults to "hosted" which will cause the user's calid to be [email protected]
    If you Do use the "-k legacy" option.. it will create the calid as just "userid"
    With regard to logging into UWC without the @domain.com part of a username in a hosted domain.. the easiest way to avoid this.. is to point a host name under the hosted domain to the server.
    if you point webmail.xxxx.com to the server... and then access it via:
    http://webmail.xxxx.com/uwc/
    any users in the xxxx.com hosted domain will NOT need to use @xxxx.com when logging in... they can just use "userid"
    This feature does not take any special configuration (aside from adding a DNS entry for the hosted domain)
    Hopefully that helps.

  • Bug: Application Express - Multiple pages with same name

    In my APEX application, I have mulltiple pages with the same name (user requirement). In SQL Developer, it shows the pages with the same name under the MAX Page ID. For instance, I have pages 18, 21 and 22 with the name of "Binder". In SQL Developer I see 3 APEX Page entries for Page 22. And it shows all of the page items for Page 22 in all of the entries.
    Thanks,

    If I delete extra .ipa files when two different applications have the same name, then I need to keep track of which is the current version of what. "Sudoku 4.ipa" might be the latest version of one program, and "Sudoku 7.ipa" could be the latest version of another.
    I wish Apple would create a naming scheme where every application has a unique name, and sequential generations are not used. This would make it much cleaner, and there would be no ambiguity as to either which program is which, or which version is which.
    I find the safest way to get rid of all the dups is to just delete them all and re-download the app. The bugs in iTunes still make a mess of things, though.

  • How to create device IDs with same name

    i am using SE 3310 and its creating different device ids for each node sharing it . since I will be building a RAC enviornment I need these IDs/name to be same .
    for example  on one node the lun id is /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6  but the same lun id on node 2 is /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s6.
    In past with an old storage array I fixed this issue by creating links  in /dev/rdsk for  c3t0d0s6 --->  c2t0d0s6.
    my question is : is there a way in SE3310 that device ids get created with same name or do i still have to rely on creating these soft links ?
    thanks
    Note: since i need the answer to this quickly i will wait a while and then post this question in other forums and i will update the question here with the answer .

    This could be a Solaris (I presumed) O.S. question rather than SE3310 or storage question.  
    The logical device (/dev/[r]dsk/*) is the work of the O.S. when it first configures the device,  in this case the LUN from your SE3310.   I can go in depth on how the cX number happens (due to device probe order, driver differences, history of device discovery due to need of persistent device naming, etc...) but ... it's a really long story and is really quite irrelevant and most people should not be interested...
    If you have COMPLETELY identical servers, i.e. identical hardware down to specific HBA in specific slot are the same,   and if you make sure that luns are presented to all servers exactly the same way, same order, and any changes are seen by all servers in the same sequence,  in theory,  all /dev/rdsk/* devices will be consistent across servers.
    But that's still rather irrelevant.    Application that is designed to work in a redundant environment should not be dependent on logical devices like /dev/rdsk being the same.
    So ... in effect this is also not a question for the Solaris forum,  but rather a question for those familiar with RAC,  how to configure such that device access is done "safely" through actually identifying the lun rather than assuming /dev/rdsk are consistent.

  • Error while uploading document with same name in Document library

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to upload document with same name in Document library it throws an error. I know its a default behavior but is there any way so that I can upload documents with same name or can we append some unique id with title of the document?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

    No, unfortunately this is not possible. SharePoint treats the file name as the primary key identifier for a document so if you try to upload a second document with the same name it will assume this is a new version of the file. If you have versioning enabled
    on the document library, it will add this as a new version. If not, it will overwrite the original file with the new one.
    If you need two documents with the same name, you will have to either place them in different folders within a document library or in different document libraries.

    How to create a BPEL 2.0 from WSDL which is having the +2 operation with Same  name+ and we are planing to USE PICK activity but the BPEL is giving error while selecting the operation name

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Preetam,
    I believe it's not allowed, use different operation name.
    A wsdl:portType in a DESCRIPTION MUST have operations with distinct values for their name attributes.
    This applies only to the wsdl:operations within a given wsdl:portType. A wsdl:portType may have wsdl:operations with names that are the same as those found in other wsdl:portTypes.
    why do you need multiple operation with same message type?

  • Creating  file on network with same name

    Hello All,
    I have created the A0001BOE20060001.txt file on my machine & i want to create same file with same name on the different machine,
    i m able to copy all data in that file & recreate it on the server but i have problem with how to GET same file Name
    As i m creating a new file & writing data on the 1.txt which i m creating on the server
    How should i recognize the file name & create the same file on the server????

    Is this on Windows?
    I believe that java.io.File works with UNC paths. For example, if you have a network resource on the share myshare on machine my-pc, you could do something like:
    File f = new File( "\\\\my-pc\\myshare\\myfolder\\myfile.txt" );
    Note that you have to escape backslashes. You'll also want to be sure that you have permission to access the share - it won't prompt you for a password, so you must have already authenticated using Explorer or net use.
    Thanks,

  • Two methods with same name but different return type?

    Can I have two methods with same name but different return type in Java? I used to do this in C++ (method overloading or function overloading)
    Here is my code:
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test{
    public static void main(String ar[]){
    try{          
    //I give an invalid file name to throw IO error.
    File file = new File("c:/invalid file name becasue of spaces");
    FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file ,true);
    writer.write("Test");
    writer.close();     
    } catch (IOException IOe){
         System.out.println("Failure");
    //call first method - displays stack trace on screen
         showerr(NPe);
    //call second method - returns stack trace as string
            String msg = showerr(NPe);
            System.out.println(msg);
    } // end of main
    public static void showerr(Exception e){
         StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
         PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
         e.printStackTrace(pw);
         try{
         pw.close();
         sw.close();

         StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
         PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
         e.printStackTrace(pw);
         try{
         pw.close();
         sw.close();
         catch (IOException IOe){
         IOe.printStackTrace();     
         return sw.toString();
    }//end of second showerr
    } // end of class

    Overloading is when you have multiple methods that have the same name and the same return type but take different parameters. See example
    public class Overloader {

              java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
              java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;

                   .append( " : " )
                   .append( e.getClass().getName() )
                   .append( " : " )
                   .append( e.getMessage() ) ;
              return buffer.toString() ;
         public String buildError(String msg){

  • Two soa domain with same name "TestSOADomain" sharing same SOA schema ?

    I tried creating two soa domain with same name "TestSOADomain" (different path) sharing same SOA schema .However one domain came UP to Running mode and other domain going to AdminMode and "soa-infra" application of that domain is not active.
    I do want to understand can this be possible with SOA ,ie. two soa domain sharing same SOA schema ?
    If possible what are all the problems might come
    1. While executing soa composites with asyncronous behaviour ?
    2. How the polling services will work ?
    3. will the XREF_DATA table ROW_NUMBER column inserted uniquely while inserting data from two different domain into same SOA schema ?
    4. Other issues ?
    Thanks

    Each domain is expected to refer to its own unique database schema. Same SOA schema should not be shared by multiple SOA clusters/domains. It is technically possible though, I suppose, and still can run fine any one SOA environment at any given time with the other SOA environments/domains (sharing the same SOA schema) shutdown. It is not the general/recommended practice to share SOA schema across domains and there could be potential implications and unexpected behavior, particularly when the SOA environments pointing to the same schema are all running at a time.
