Creating an executable program to control a machine

Hello
I've created an executable program under Labview that I want to install
on a computer without Labview to control a machine. On the second
machine I have just installed Labview runtime, driver for measurecard
(ni) and daq.
How can I save this application as an exe file, or as an install or
setup file? How can I put the library, dll-files and vi-files in the
exe-file?
Fahri

To create an .exe, you need the application builder. It is included with the Professional versions of LabVIEW or you can purchase it separately as an add-on. I think the current price is U$995. The app builder inlcudes an installer that you can use to package the .exe and any support files that you might need.

How to create executable programs

How can I create an executable program using J2SDK 1.2.2?
Thank you

There are some programs that can do what you are looking for but most of them just include the JRE in the project and make a small wrapper .exe that calls it.
I agree with MarcinSc - you should make your friends install the JRE even for their own good.

Calling a module pool program screen to an executable program

Hi gurus,
I have created a executable program to use selection-screen and want to see my output in module pool program where I have designed table control according to my requirement.
How can I call the module-pool program screen from an executable program?
Any help?
Regards
Mac

Hi Mac,
I think you can proceed with a report program alone . There you create a screen with the table control to populate your result.
In the report program, after getting values for internal table for your display, just call the said screen.
i.e.
CALL SCREEN <screen number>.
Hope this may help you.

Using APT ActiveX methods to create a labview program for BPC 203 3 channel Benchtop Piezo controller

Hi Everyone,
I am really very new to Labview and i am in great need for some help.I am assigned a task where i am supposed to create a labview program to control or moniter a BPC203 3 channel benchtop Piezo controller. I created a program with the help of the instructions provided in the APT-Labview guide provided by Thorlabs.But th program doesnt run . Whenever i try to run it i get the same error which says that "Control HW Communications disabled".I have attached a snapshot of the error message.So i tried to create a small program in labview which would read the volage output.Even there i got the same error message.I suppose there is some mistake on my part which i am not able to correct due to the lack of proper knowledge.Could anyone please help me to solve this problem.A slight elaboration would be highly appreciated.Also i think the error lies in the use of invoke node with the get Voltage output method. I am not sure whether the parameters i have provided to the invoke node are correct.Any help of any sort would be highly appreciated.

Hi
I had the same problem today. However, I noticed that the piezo controller has 3 channels with separate slots and they are packaged in the same box. Therefore the whole box has a serial number, probably something like 71822280, and this is written with large letter. Now, in order to communicate with any of the channels, this does not help, but one needs to communicate directly with the interested channel and they have thier OWN SERIAL NUMBERS.
For example channel 1 (my X direction in the nanoMax stage) has serial 91822281, Y has 91822282 and Z has 91822283. So try looking if you have the right serial number Hopefully you found out this yourself but this might help others, I took me3 hours to get this thing working when I started to plug-in the cables and everything.

Creating an executable

Hi, I want to create an executable program or launcher for the application i have built in java. I want to turn the java class files into something that a inexperienced user could execute simply. Are there tools to do this?
Many thanks.
Martin

Haijsk,
That's a pretty nice trick. Straightforward, and simple to use. The one problem is that it opens a console window under Windows. :-( As a result, you inspired me to write this piece of code:
#include <windows.h>
#define MY_APP_NAME "MyApp"
#define MY_APP_EXEC "javaw -jar myapp.jar"
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
        STARTUPINFO startup_info;
        PROCESS_INFORMATION process_info;
        BOOL valid;
        int result;
        startup_info.cb = sizeof(startup_info);
        startup_info.lpReserved = NULL;
        startup_info.lpDesktop = NULL;
        startup_info.lpTitle = NULL;
        startup_info.dwX = 0;
        startup_info.dwY = 0;
        startup_info.dwXSize = 0;
        startup_info.dwYSize = 0;
        startup_info.dwXCountChars = 0;
        startup_info.dwYCountChars = 0;
        startup_info.dwFillAttribute = 0;
        startup_info.dwFlags = STARTF_FORCEONFEEDBACK;
        startup_info.wShowWindow = NULL;
        startup_info.cbReserved2 = 0;
        startup_info.lpReserved2 = NULL;
        startup_info.hStdInput = NULL;
        startup_info.hStdOutput = NULL;
        startup_info.hStdError = NULL;
        valid = CreateProcess(
                NULL,
                MY_APP_EXEC,
                NULL,
                NULL,
                FALSE,
                CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE,
                NULL,
                NULL,
                &startup_info,
                &process_info
        if(!valid)
                result = MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to launch the application. Please make sure that a JVM of 1.3 or higher is installed.", MY_APP_NAME, MB_OK);
        return 0;
}Just change MY_APP_NAME and MY_APP_EXEC to meet your needs and away you go. :-)

Executable program not able to open

I have created an executable program which is distributed with the 8.5 runtime engine. When deployed on the target systems (XP) the executable will open on the taskbar for a few seconds then just disappear. But on some systems (also XP) the program will open and operate normally. There is no DAQ in this application, it is purely a visualization tool for some text files. I have had this problem before, but now it is more serious because my program is distributed world wide to our organization.
I could find no references to this problem. I have an error dialog at the end of my application, if there was an error reported, I would be able to see it, but nothing happens, the window just disappears without opening. The normal VI version has not problems at all.
Thanks,
Henry

Hello everyone,
I did the whittle down to the problem in my code. I can clearly identify that this problem has to do with the NI_AALPro.lvlib functions.
If you look at the image I attached, it is quite clear that there is nothing else in going on in my once large, now very small program !!
If I remove this function, the program compiles and runs properly !
Now the question is why do the NI_AALPro.lvlib functions work on some PCs, but not others? As my application requires the use of these functions, I am under pressure to find a solution.
Thanks

Forms6: Execute program in remote machine?

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a program in a remote machine. For exemple: I can use the function 'host ('notepad')' and the notepad executes in the machine running the .fmx. How can I execute a command in a remote machine running Unix? Is there a function?
I'm using Developer6 (forms).
Thanks.

You should be able to use <cfexecute...> to do this,
you will have to
make sure all the connections and permissions are set up.
Just remember that by default, at least on windows systems,
CF is
configured to only have access and permissions to the local
system, you
will need to modify this if it has not been done.

How do I create an executable with arguments that executes once and terminates

I'm just starting with LabView, so I'm sure this issue has been address somewhere already. I just can't locate the answer.
I am running version 6i (I may be able to get 7 or 8).
I need to create a command line executable program with parameter input that executes only once and then terminates.
This is for instrument control (sets the signal generator frequency, level, RF on/off and arms the Trigger). I have written a simple VI that works from within LabView (programs the instrument when the Run button is pressed). I have further managed to perform an Application Build to create an executable however, the application continues to run, waiting for the Run button to be pressed. Also, I need to know how to pass parameters to this executable (freq, level, RF on/off, trigger arm).
This executable will (eventually) be called repeatedly by a Matlab file.
Thanks,
D

LabVIEW 7 added a property to get a command line argument. For older versions see http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DA5B56A4E034080020E74861.
I'm not sure I understand you problem with the Run button. If you set the execution mode to Run When Opened from VI Properties, it should execute once whenever it's called. I think that when building an executable, it changes the property to this if it's not already set. If the application does not have this set, it will not be running at all. I'm assuming that you are talking about the Run button on the toolbar and not a run Boolean that you've created on the front panel.
Since you have the app builder, your other option is to create a DLL. If you can call a DLL in Matlab, then that would probably be simpler.

Error when i create an executable in lv 2010

HI everybody!!
well i am creating an executable from one programa i have done, but when i am building it appears an error that i don't know what must i do to resolve it...
can someone help me please¿

i need your help!!!is quite important pleaseeeeeeee!!!!!!
error say this:
This build specification uses VIs from Point by Point which is currently in evaluation mode. During evaluation, LabVIEW is unable to disconnect type definitions and remove unused polymorphic VI instances.
Choose a different option on the Additional Exclusions page and build the application again.

How do you expect us to be able to answer this question? We have no idea what your code does, nor have you told us what the code does, or what components you are using. We are not mind readers. Are you talking to instruments? If so, the target machine would need NI-VISA if you're using VISA. Are you using DAQ? If so, then the target machine needs to have DAQmx installed. Create an installer from the project so that all necessary components are installed. Please read the LabVIEW Help on creating installers.

Creating a background program...?

Right now, I want to create a background program which monitors certain folder. What I mean by background is that, I want create a program that will continue running on myLinux Machine whether I log on or off (of course the computer willl be on). Also, the program must be executing while I ssh onto the machine or do other command line on the screen.
How would I create the program so that it remains executing in background ?
Thank You

Execute program from Explicit host (SM59)

Hello!
I need to send faxes from SAP (ECC 6.0 version), so I have configured a fax server (with ActiveFax server) in a PC inside of my net.
I want to realise a connection between SAP and the fax server throught RFC (Operative system Windows NT).
For text, In transaction sm59, I created a new RFC conection, type T and activation form explicit host.
I want to execute, for example, calc.exe program on destination machine, I put corresponding IP direction in destiny machine.
The problem is that when I trying to 'conection test' it giving back an error:
           - Error when opening an RFC connection
           - Time out during allocate
           - Location: SAP gateway on host....
           - Detail: no connect of TP calc.exe from host......
           - component: Sap gateway
           - return code: 242
Anybody knows how could I make the connection?
I hope you can help me as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Thanks for answered Stefan Gerschler.
Sorry, maybe I don't explain very good...
RFCEXEC is use for upload/download files from/to your local PC.
I'm trying to send a fax throught SO01 transaction, so I wan to create a RFC connection to a local machine where I've installed a fax server (ActiveFax). Then, in SCOT transaction I can set Fax node with the RFC connection created and send faxes from SAPoffice (SO01).
Before configure the SCOT transaction I have to configure a RFC connection (SM59) between SAP and the fax sever installed. I have some problems in this step , the comunication is wrong.
I don't use ABAP code.
I hope you can understand and help me.
Thanks!

Generating a list of programs installed on a machine

Hello,
I am working on a project at the minute, and I need to find out, is it possible to create a list of all the programs installed on a machine using java?
Thanks

For what purpose one would ask.
One can do a directory scan (File.listFiles).
In java you can ask for the root drives (see FileSystemView, JFileChooser), and query whether they a removable/remote media.
Then you simply need to collect all .exe files (on Windows).
Windows uses the registry for software products. There are some native-code based APIs that give access to the registry. Or you might in RegEdit export a CURRENT_SOFTWARE tree from the registry and parse the text file..
As you can execute command line programs in java (Runtime.exec) you can run RegEdit,
see http://techsupt.winbatch.com/TS/T000001029F18.html for options.

Need Simple Executable program

Hi
I'm not an ABAPer .so, please help me in this task... I want to write an executable program in taht i just call an BAPI (BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAIL ) and for this BAPI i want to pass the COMPANY ID . and RFC destionation are the input parameters...
because if i execute this BAPI menas.. the output of this BAPI i want to send it to external system.. that configuration is done... only thing is.. how can we pass those RFC destiona and COMPANYID as inputs to the bapi..
if possible please give me the solution
Thanks
Babu

Hi,
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)

then close the com session , using

Unable to create an executable jar file

Your jar is perfectly generated, but your machine has a problem with .jar file associations.
You have two options:
1. Play with the registry. Dangereous if you are not used to.
2. Reinstall the jre.
Just to verify my theory, open a command prompt and the command:
reg query HKCR\jarfile\shell\open\command
What does it say? I have executed your command , here is the output
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command
(Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*I am not getting anything from this command, can you please explain clearly.

Is JVM created for each program?

I tried running the following command
java -xxx somejavaclass
(I know this option is not a valid one...Just tried it:-))
and got the following output:
Unrecognized option: -xxx
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
What I want to know is "Is the JVM created for each executed program?"
What does the error statement "Could not create the Java virtual machine" mean?

For every valid invocation of java (and javaw, etc) an instance of the jvm is created.
The message means it didn't do that.
