Error 6 in write to spreadsheet file

Hello. My program reads a 1D array of 12 values, then increments each value as the controlled components activate. The program then writes the new value back to the file, replacing the old value. After running for a time, I get the following error message:
Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File In Write Spreadsheet STring.vi->Write To Spreadsheet File (DBL).vi->(name of my vi.)
I read some posts which said that this could be a problem of the file getting too large. Since I am writing over the same values, how can this happen?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done to prevent this error? If the file is getting too large, how can I prevent this from happening?
This is my first time posting. Is there a better way to attach a pic of a vi/block diagram than what I have done?

For future reference, it is best if you just post the VI itself. It will make it easier on us to help.
Does the file increasing in size? You can simply look at the file in Windows Explorer to find that out. It also bothers me that you are rewriting the file so often. Why not only write the file once the loop is complete?

Write to Spreadsheet File

Hello,
I am trying to write to a spreadsheet file.
There are two things which I am trying to do which the current .vi doesn't do.
1. Ask for a file name outside of the while loop. At the moment this occurs inside of the while loop.
2. Append to file (by setting to True) doesn't work as every time the while loop is iterated in this example it asks me for a new file name. Shouldn't it just append to file without asking for a new file name on every iteration.
Thanks,
Solved!

If you don't specifiy the file path, then the Write to Spreadsheet File asks for the file. That just the way the function works. If you go into the Advanced File Functions palette, you will find a File Dialog function. Put that outside of your loop and pass the resulting path into the loop and to the Write to Spreadsheet File.

Time Machine Error cannot write to sparse bundle -- file in use.

We're having trouble with a Time Machine backup. Twice in the last three days, the backups failed with the error message that the backup disk image is already in use. I noticed that the partition containing the backup sparse bundle is mounted twice in /Volumes -- /Volumes/X and /Volumes/X-1. The error message refers to /Volumes/X-2.
The icon that appears on the desktop has not cleared as if it's still doing a backup.
Looking at the sparsebundle directly gives me the "verificationstate" as 1 -- I recall reading that this is supposed to 0. Other values:
verificationdate == 2012-06-05, and VerificationExtendedSkip == false.
Note that the backup drive is attached to another Mac still running Leopard. This is run fine for years over a gigabit network.
Any ideas?

OK, we fixed this for now with the simple, but common Mac way of
throwing something in the trash.
In this case it seems to be a temporary network connection to the remote Time Machine partition. When Time Machine balks, the icon for the temporary mount gets stuck on the Desktop. We threw it in the trash (unmounting it) and then Time Machine can resume.
Apple networking is annoying, but then on the other, it's easy. We lose printing in a similar way.
Anyway, although we seem to be OK, I'd like to understand this a bit better. I can see in the "/Volumes" folder (in Terminal) three Time Machine mounts, not one as I would have expected, and they all appear to point to the same place:
drwx------   9 root                   wheel 264   Jun 22 10:23 TM-2
drwx------   9 root                   wheel 264 Jun 22 10:23 TM-1
drwx------   9 MYUSERNAME staff   264 Jun 22 10:23 TM
On the remote machine, the disc TM appears only once.
If you look at the listing of all three, they are identical. What gives?
Is this a consequence of the fact that we are putting the time machine backups on a remote machine (that is not a Mac OS server). We have to mount the remote disc before Time Machine will run, but from that point it works perfectly -- or as perfectly as any mac networking thing seems to work.

I've just opened iTunes on my Mac with an error "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". I created a shirred library so that all users on my Mac can access the same library. Help?

I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...

Corrupt file error while writting a file in compress mode

Hello,
I have a scenario where i am writting data in a file in appending mode with filter 'compress' addition using open dataset, on Al11 for the first set of records it works fine but if this file is accessed again for writting data in next select statement ( its between select endselect),the file is getting corrupted, if i try to open this file corrupt file error come. can someone help.
Thanks and Regards,
Gunjan

Hi Gunjan,
Unfortunately, you can't do in that way. The behaviour of that OPEN and FILTER 'compress' clause is to create a compacted file, to be read later, but it can be appended... all your writes go to a pipe and when you close the file this is sent to 'compress' program or other filter and than a compacted file is created.
You can't go back and start inserting again after close it.
Follow documentation:
http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_OS_ADDITION.htm
The addition FILTER must not be used together with the addition AT POSITION or for the access type FOR UPDATE.

I've looked into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal), a .deb file, found no occi.h but did find lots of .so files (linux shared libraries). I'll try and adapt my code and Netbeans/g++ to that and see if it works...
I can't really install it since my 4GB computer is x64 and my i386 "only" has 186RAM... Enterprise Linux Release 5 Media Pack for x86 64 (64 bit) is 5.1GB+updates (~5GB each)... Not gonna waste my time installing that just for a project.
I sense i'm missing something obvious... although there's nothing obvious about *.oracle.com... information company they say? ;)

Error trying to write to a measurement file and then send via gmail.vi

So as the title says, I have a VI which is writing to a tdms file, and I want to send the file by gmail once the program has completed it's run. I downloaded gmail.vi and am integrating it into my existing code. Both my original code and the gmail VI work fine on their own, but when I try to have the combined VI send the data file by email, I get the error message that I've attached.
Basically, it seems like the .tdms data file is in use by the measurement code, and I need to know how to free it up so that the gmail code can attach and send it.
I've attached the main code as well as my modified gmail VI, so hopefully someone can take a look at tell me what I'm missing.
Any help is much appreciate!

While I can't view all of your code because it is missing several SubVIs, I have a good idea of what you are trying to do. I believe the culprit is the "Write to measurement file" express VI. Near as I can tell the original reference to the TDMS file is being held open inside the express VI. Here's a good general rule for using Express VI's: when you see them, RUN THE OTHER WAY! I say because there is almost always a significant amount of code in there that is unnecessary, In this case, you simply need the Open TDMS file, Write to TDMS, Close file functions; you do not need all of the extra code that is in the express VI's.
<edit> P.S. I hope the username/password in Email alert.vi is a placeholder otherwise you just gave every idiot with access to LabVIEW your username and password to the account.

10.1 upgrade install error message: "error cannot write file"

I have just installed a clean copy of os 9.2 onto my powerbook g4. When I try to upgrade with the included cd mac os x 10.1 it errors out about half way through the install.

Hi Again atadams77!
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
As has been posted, your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements.
If you install that, use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
AppleRescue, sells a Tiger installation set on CD

This is not a PC/PWX problem, but a mainframe security problem. TIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT is not a GDG file name.It might be the base for a GDG. A GDG file name would look something like eitherTIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT(+1)orTIDSS01.POS.IBD.DR0100.DAT.G001V00 So I suspect that you have the wrong file name.Please talk with your mainframe team.

There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

An automation script on one of our QA environments kept tripping on the error: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found". The same script ran fine against our Production servers (hint, which were "whitelisted").
It took a little time to resolve/trace what was happening (but with the aid of ProcessMonitor and tracing all "pdf"-related file activity...)
The problem lies squarely between McAfee (75%), Adobe (20%) and Microsoft (5%):
NORMAL WORKFLOW. IE (Internet Explorer) when popping a PDF document, has to (1) write the document to the IE cache, then (2) launching and "handing off" the document reference to the Adobe viewer (which might then be able to open the document, et al) -- assuming largely a "synchronous" workflow.
BUT "WAIT", HOLD THE HORSES -- McAfee takes ownership and decides infact "wait for us" (during the workflow), it wants to first perform a virus scan on the document (ahead of writing the document to cache) involving potentially large latency (delay) before making the document available to the system. However, instead of "fessing up"-that their scan may be taking too long, McAfee appears to have taken their work "off-line" in violation of the sychronous interface above. I'm guessing the developers at McAfee might have been trying to hide any extra processing overhead being incurred by assuming they could somehow convert this to an "asychronous" event. (This may also have more reach than just PDF's.)
Unfortunately, the browser's "PDF OPEN"-dialog box pops allowing Adobe to launch-and-open the "as-yet-not-virus-scanned-and-thus-not-yet-cached"-document. Thus clicking the OPEN-button will cause the related "...FILE NOT FOUND"-error to be seen (because the file is still in McAfee "limbo").
Note: If you close the ADOBE reader (but don't yet close the popup-OPEN-dialog) you can click OPEN a second time and it will probably now open the document - which McAfee finally finished scanning!
You can observe all these interactions with ProcessMonitor, and use the monitored file states to adjust the timings of events to reproduce both the failure and non-failure scenarios.
- Best Regards, Ziggy
ps. My assessed distribution of "ownership" of the problem is because ALL these parties should be aggressively resolving this for the customer-base!

What, exactly, were you trying to do when you got it, and how?
