Current (LV2012) best way to serve data across platforms

I'm interested in hearing what people would regard as the current best way do the following:
I'd like to publish data from labview in a format that can be read over a network across platforms. The data should be not just be visible, but it should be fairly simple for someone writing their own code, say on a Unix machine, to integrate this data into their programs. Some more specific are probably in order. In its simplest form we would like to transfer a 1d array of doubles (say of length 30) plus an image file (say 600x400 pixel jpeg) and update about every 5 second. The "client" would just read this data in at need, and there is no requirement that the client be able to access data other than the current data cluster at the moment it read the data - unread data is just thrown away when the next update arrives. Is a webservice the only/best way to do this at this time?

you might want to check Shared Variables (OPC)
A stupid thought maybe, but File IO is always a possiblity as well, might not be the best one, but will certainly work....
Kind regards,

What is the best way to consolidate data on two Macs?

Hi All,
About to embark on a small project to move all my data on to my MacBook before finally saying goodbye to my trusty iMac. In order to do this I'll be upgrading the HDD on the MacBook to a large one and using Time Machine to restore all the original data onto the new drive. This bit I'm good with as I did it before when I upgraded the drive on my old iMac.
The main problem I have is that the majority of my photos, music, videos and documents are on my old iMac and I'd like to discuss the best way to merge these with a smaller amount of data that the MacBook has on it. Both machines are running Snow Leopard and I'm not aware of any tools that are currently available to do something like this although I am aware that Lion is supposed to have features that would consolidate everything to the cloud and might make things quite easy. This is something I would be willing to spend the £30 or so doing so if anyone has any experience of using Lion to merge everything across Macs to the cloud please let me know if you feel this would be a suitable approach.
Just to summarise the state my data is in currently and the approach I currently intend to take.
Have the Mobile Me service so Mail, Address Book, Calendars and all that stuff are all synced across both machines anyway.
Applications - Some stuff on the old Mac that I no longer user but nothing here that I really want to migrate. Some specific application stuff is mentioned below.
Movies - This is the bit that I'm most concerned about. Have a lot of legacy iMovie stuff on the old iMac which I'd like to keep. iDVD as well. Not sure of the best way to get this across and maybe it even warrants a separate discussion. Aside from that most of my older video stuff and projects are on the iMac with the newer stuff on the MacBook. I'm unaware of any function to export and import this but I have a large HDD which I can use to copy stuff over and am going to look into this a bit further. There will be a small amount of duplication here but this is manageable.
Documents - Will just copy these across and organise them as and when I need them. Again, a small amount of duplication but this is manageable.
Music - Pretty much all my stuff the old iMac. Can just export this and copy it onto the MacBook.
Pictures - Bit complicated this. Most of my stuff on the old iMac but some newer albums on the new MacBook. No duplication so presuming I can just export the library off the old iMac and import it on to the new MacBook.
No websites or anything like that.
iPhone currently syncs with iMac but once I have all the stuff over it should not be too hard to change this.
Just my user account on each machine that I really want to keep. Shared documents and other users accounts all contain temporary stuff that I'm happy to lose or archive.
Given this is anyone able to offer advice as to 1) Whether this is the best approach? 2) Have I considered everything? 3) Are there any tools that might help me?
Many thanks,
Tom

OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
Applications - just went through them. About the only one I needed was my media server app. Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine. Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too.
Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders. Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly. Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here.
Documents - Just copied these across.
Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager. You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries. Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore. Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc.
Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter.

Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

Hi All-
What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

Best way to read data sources in parallel

Hi,
I'm looking for conceptual help as I start a project. I am trying to figure out the best way to get data from several sources at different timings and deliver them to a main vi.
I have 4 systems, which each work well on their own (OK, one doesn't work yet, but let's assume that can be fixed
One system reads from 2 pH meters on serial ports. The meters are slow to respond, so it takes about 2 minutes to read 4 channels of data. I save these data to a file every 10 minutes
One system reads from a CO2 meter on the USB port. It reads the data every second, and does some averaging. Every 2-10 minutes, it saves the average to a file and then sends a command to the parallel port to switch the input to the meter.
The third system reads from 6 valves, each on a serial port. These also take time, probably several minutes to poll all 6. These data will also be saved to a file.
The 4th system reads a bank of temperature probes on the USB port. These get polled every few seconds and saved to a file every few minutes.
Now that these individual routines are working, I am trying to create a front end that will display all the data in one place and allow me to set all the parameters from a single place. I would also like the possibility of using the data from one source at another place (for instance, having the output of the temperature probes sent to the pH meters to adjust their calibration). At this point, I get confused as to the best way to proceed.
It seems like if I just want to read the data from each source, I could simply put all 4 routines together in a single vi (oh, what a mess that would be to read). Maybe I should start this way?
However, if I want to have any communication between the different data sources, it seems like I will either need to use queues or VI server. I sort of envision a vi that lets me configure the various ports and the file operations and then can turn on monitoring of any or all of the various inputs. Each of them will do their thing at their own time and the main routine will simply display whatever data they deliver whenever they have new data. Fortunately, nothing is particularly time-critical, nor does it need to run fast.
My questions: Am I correct in how I'm thinking about getting this to work? Is there a clear choice between queues or vi server? I've looked at several examples of each, but without having done something like this before, it is hard for me to tell which is better.
Thanks for any suggestions.
mike

Hi Mike,
I think that you are on the right track with your thinking process. You might be able to implement this using queues. I'm not exactly sure how you would do it with VI server since it is just a set of functions that allows you to dynamically control front panel objects, VIs, and the LabVIEW environment. However, there are some great resources available with using queues for this type of application. I'm including the link to another discussion forum that had a very similar question to yours. There is a good example of using queues within this forum post. Also, there is a great example in NI Developer Zone about using queues and some other good ones in the NI Example Finder (just search 'queues' and you should get a few results). I hope this helps!

Best Way to Load Data in Hash Partition

Hi,
I have partitioning by Hash on a Large Table of 5 TB. We have to load Data say more than 500GB daily on that table from ETL.
What is the best way to Load data into that Big Table which has hash Partition .

Do you have any specific requirements to match records to lookup tables or it just a straight load - that is an insert?
Do you have any specific performance requirements?
The easiest and fastest way to load data into Oracle is via external file and parallel query/parallel insert. Remember that parallel DML is not enabled by default and you have to do so via alter session command. You can leverage multiple CPU cores and direct path operation to perform the load.
Assuming your database is on a linux/unix server - you could NFS load the file if it is on a remote system, but then you will be most likely limited by network transfer speed.

Best way to transfer data between loops?

Hi, whats the best way to transfer data between loops(state machines, regular while loop etc) in labview. For so many years ive been using local variables but these can cause race conditions. Anyone advise?
Stu

It depends one the structure of the loops and how they need to exchange data (unidirectional, bidirectional, broadcasting).
The simple case of one loop passing data to the other loop: producer/consumer design pattern using a queue
If the structure already contains an event structure: User Events
The way I code is documented in my community nugget on events
I often mix this with producer/consumer.

What kind of data you are looking to move?
Database export/import is only supported for full database export/import and the application release should be the same on the source/target nodes.
You can move the setup using iSetup or FNDLOAD.

Best ways to view data, total records of an application table ie VBAK

Hi all,
What is the best way to view data of an application table in the source system?
I know about SE16....but are there other ways to know details ie the total no of records and different field information about a
application table ie VBAK in source R3?
Also, using SE16 when i checked for VBAK and clicked on the "number of enteries" then it showed 0...however
when i directly checked from the sqlplus then i found about 5000 records in there in VBAK. I am not sure why
via SE16 it showed 0. Does anybody have any idea what i missed here?
Thanks...will give points for ur input.
ak

I tried "number of enteried" on se16 and it shows 0 enteries without any selection criterion...i cheked by putting relevant time range as well but it shows 0...
As i told that when i checked VBAK separately via logging to database directly then i did find 5678 rows there.
Please note that this is a new demo version....so i thought that i first need to activate the table which i did using tcode SE11. Now the VBAK table is active but still via SE16 shows 0 nuber of enteris....
Can anybody please advise here..
Thx

Best way to pass data sets to another program

Hey
I want to connect another (maths) program with my java application. Therefore I need to paste data (some kind of tab separated table) to this program.
I try now to save these data in a separate newly generated file and to pass a command with Java's Runtime.exec() method to this program to read these data. Is this a good idea or might there be better ways?
If I do so, is there a way in Java to generate some kind of a "temporary" file which will be deleted automatically after usage or is this nothing else than to save it in a common file and delete it afterwards. What's the best way to pass data generally?

Well, the connection will not be over a network, so I'd rather think it's not a Socket or RMI problem (unless someone convinces me).
Yes it's very external, it's a C or C++ written program, I don't have any source codes. So far I generated a file for Input command and data, I passed that on to the maths program and returned the output into another file.
Now I would like to separate the output and like to obtain some tables and graphical things like charts at the output. Do I have to generate three different types of outputfiles? How to store some graphics e.g. some distributions. I thought even of generating a database. I never thought about XML, I don't know if this works for that kind of problem?!

Best way to mark data that has changed when it is edited in a spark datagrid?

I am not sure if this is the best way to mark data that has changed (isModifiedClientSide ) when it is edited in a spark datagrid:
<GridColumn width="140" headerText="Margin "dataField="margin" editable="false" editable.editMode="true" >
                    <itemRenderer>
                        <fx:Component>
                            <DefaultGridItemRenderer textAlign="right"   background="true" backgroundColor="#ffffff" alpha="1.0" color="#000000" >
                                <focusOut>
                                    <![CDATA[
                                    this.data.isModifiedClientSide = 1;
                                    ]]>

                    </itemRenderer>
                </GridColumn>

I tried this but the value commit doesnt't get fired bro:

Best way to extract data from archived cube

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
I have two options in my mind:
1) Use open hub destination
or
2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Hello Reddy,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
1) Use Open Hub
or
2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
Thanks
