Error message "VI is not executable"! Need help with Application Builder

Hello,
I have a problem with an application, built with the Application Builder. I have read some threads about the problem I have, but I still don't know a solution.
When I run my front panel from LabVIEW, everything is good. So, now I created an application (and an installer) to be able to run it on other PCs as well. This application does not work. Everytime I start it on my PC, I get the error "VI is not executable. ...". I read in several forums solutions for this error, but I cannot fix it! I've changed my properties for the builder, but with no success. Perhaps, anybody has more ideas, what's the problem.
To get a better idea from my project, here a little description of it:
In the block diagram there is a while loop which is continuously runned. In this loop I only set some properties for the layout of the front panel, such as decorations which will be hidden/shown and changes of colours of indicators... For the rest, it waits for a click on the button "Start" in the front panel. After that, a DLL is called to communicate with a USB device. Some measurements are carried out and the DLL is closed. I hope, you can get a global idea from my block diagram...
I use LabVIEW 8.5, the DLL is a third-party DLL, which we wrote on our own. But I think the DLL works properly, if it is called from a C# application it works and it works, too, by calling it from LabVIEW when I am in development mode.
It's a project for university and I'm just a beginner in LabVIEW, so I don't have so much experiences in it, but I think i improved my knowlegde about LabVIEW very well in the last weeks!
So, i hope to get an answer soon (the deadline for the project is not soooo far away )
If you need more information, please let it know...
I would be very grateful if there is someone with a working solution...
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
Your architecture makes it very difficult to debug this and other problems. Does the error message mention which VI is causing the problem? It is very important to wire your error clusters everywhere. In LabVIEW, when a node throws an error (Error.Status = T), future nodes do not execute. At the end, place an error cluster indicator that you can see on your front panel. When an error posts, you can right click the indicator (even in a compiled application) and select "Explain Error".
This is a start, but you really need to push this into a queued-state machine before this gets any more complicated. As it were, if anything in your loop hangs, your whole application hangs. See attached for a queued-message handler (not advisable for actual applications, but you get the point. You would want to have a type defined enum in lieu of strings, and shared data between states differently, etc.)

If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.

Moving to CF10, Need help with Application.cfc

I've been googling about how to work with Application.cfc since last week but I still have some questions and I can't find the answers.
My application is under the root (in unix) and there are many subfolders underneath it. Each sub-folder is hosting a different web application.
From what I read, I can create 1 root Application.cfc and then on subsequent sub-folder, when I need to have another Application.cfc on that level, I can create ProxyApplication (see below) and then create a sub-folder level Applicatin.cfc
So, when I set an application.DSN on my root Application.cfc, using proxyApplication I don't have to reset this dsn again in my sub folder level Application.cfc
Since my loginform.cfm and loginaction.cfm is right under root directory too, I also set OnsessionStart in the root Application.cfc to handle user login. Then this means, I don't have to reset session variable again anywhere because session.username, etc has been set on the highest level.
Is this correct?
In addition, Am I correct when I do the following:
1. Since I have root level and sub-folder level Application.cfc, I should set this.name with a different name, am I right?
    On the root Application.cfc I set this.name = "StudentServices" because this represent the global application
    On the sub-folder level's Application.cfc, I set this.name to "StudentServices_stdLoad" becaus this sub-folder only handle student load application.
2. On the root Application.cfc, I set the DSN to the application scope. So on the sub-folder level Application.cfc I can check if a particular db is working or not
    because as awhole, in the global sense, this web application uses more than one Databases. Each sub-folder may use a database that is dfferent than the other sub folder.
Am I doing the right thing? Please advice
Below is example of what I have, Thank you!
I created a root Application.cfc under the root directory:
<CFCOMPONENT displayname="Application" output="true" hint="My Root Application component">
       <cfset THIS.Name = "StudentServices" />    <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) />    <cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true />    <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false />
       <cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false">
   <cfset application.MainDSN = "DSN1">
   <cfset application.ReportDSN = "DSN2">

</cffunction>
<cffunction name="onApplicationEnd" output="false">
     <cfargument name="applicationScope" required="true"> </cffunction>
<cffunction name="onSessionEnd">
</CFCOMPONENT>
Then, in this root directory I also created a ProxyApplication:

<cfcomponent name="ApplicationProxy" extends="AdvancementServices.Application">
</cfcomponent>
Then in the Sub-Directory, I can create a sub-folder level Application.cfc extending the root Application.cfc:
<CFCOMPONENT displayname="Application" extends="ApplicationProxy">
    
    <cfset THIS.Name = "StudentServices_stdLoad"/>
    <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) />
    <cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true/>
    <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false/>
    <cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false">
       
       <cftry>
       <cfquery name="TestMain_DSN" datasource="#application.MainDSN#" maxrows="2">

         <cfthrow message="This application encountered an error when connecting to the Main Database. Please contact support." />
         <cfreturn false>
       </cfcatch>
     </cftry>
     <cflog file="#this.name#" type="Information" text="Application #this.name# Started">
     <cfreturn true/>
   </cffunction>
</CFCOMPONENT>
    <cfargument name = "SessionScope" required=true/>     <cfargument name = "AppScope" required=true/>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="OnSessionStart" access="public" returntype="void" output="false">
<CFSET session.UserGroup = ""/>
<CFSET session.UserName = ""/>
<CFSET session.currentPage = ""/>
<CFSET session.loggedin = "No"/>
<CFSET session.userrights = ""/>
<cfreturn/>
</cffunction>

OK. It sounds to me like you really shouldn't be using a single root Application.cfc at all, if all you want to do is share some settings between your "sub-applications". I would look at storing the common settings in an external file that all of the applications can read in. The simplest way is to put the settings in a .CFM file somwhere outside of the web root (so it is not directly web accessible) and load it with <cfinclude> tag into the OnApplicationStart() method of each sub-application's App.cfc. That .CFM file can be as simple as:
<cfset application.myCustomSetting = "blahblah">
<cfset application.myOtherSetting = "foo">
Alternatively, you can look at using a config file like this Ray Camden blog post suggests, and use the GetProfileSection(), GetProfileString(), and SetProfileString() functions as needed within OnApplicationStart(). You could even put ALL of your settings in
A third option is to store your settings in an XML file or in JSON format in a text file. You could then write code to read in the XML file, and use something like xml2struct.cfc to convert the XML into a struct, then append the struct to your application scope. If you go the JSON route, then just read in the JSON file and use DeserializeJSON() to convert it into a struct, and append it to the application scope.
What I think is probably the best approach is to use a community-supported MVC framework like FW/1 or ColdBox (maybe you already are, I don't think you've said so though). One of the many advantages to doing so is that they have built-in "environment" support that can be used to configure common settings, depending on your environment (dev/qa/production). You would handle reading in your external settings through the "environment" mechanism.
One other thing to think about: your login mechanism. I think you want to use one set of login tools that is shared by all of the "sub-applications". You can do this also by putting the login/authentication-related code somewhere outside the webroot of your applications, and then either set up a mapping to that location in CF Admin, or set an application-specific mapping in your various App.cfc files. That way all the "sub-applications" share a common set of code for the login process. I don't know how your login process works (do all users go to the same login page then get redirected into their relevant "sub-application", or does each "sub-application" have a discrete login page that utilizes common back-end processes to authenticate and redirect), so you'll have to judge how that is best accomplished.
Hopefully this gives you some useful ideas.

Need help with expression builder issue

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I'm creating a database for a manufacturing joinery. For 1 of my forms, Ive to create a despatch form which includes order details along with customer details. Some customers can have contracts in which
they get a fixed price on certain item. This is where the problem lies.
For my customers table, I have a field called "On contract" which is a Yes/No field. I've created a query to attempt to make this form. I'm having trouble with adding a total column at the end of this query. Quantity,Unit Price, Contract Price
are also in the query. I've been trying to build an expression to say like;
iif [on contract] = "Yes", [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
iif [on contract] = "no", [Quantity] * [Unit Price]
It obviously wont work, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Assuming you are using the database is SQL Server:
SELECT [CustomerID]
,[Quantity]
,[Unit Price]
,[Contract Price]
,[Total] = CASE WHEN [On Contract] = 'Yes' THEN [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
WHEN [On Contract] = 'No' THEN [Quantity] * [Unit Price] END
FROM [Customers]
Modify the SQL to suit your need.
Hope this helps.

Need help with application.cfc

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a login page, and when
a user logs in it verifies their credentials. If everything is good
it sets a session variable called #session.username#. What I want
to happen is at that point update a database field to set the user
logged on status to 1. Everything to that point is fine. I am
getting stuck at updating the databse when the users session ends.
Before the session ends I would like to update the db field for the
user and set the logged on status to 0.
I haven't used application.cfc before. I have been messing
around but nothing is working. Here is a copy of my application.cfc
file. If anyone has any idea on how to run a query onsessionend and
update a db I would appreciate it.

Take a peak at the documentation. It describes all the ins
and outs...
you have to do the same thing with application variables as
session
variables. The hint being that you are also defining an
appScope
argument as well as the sessionScope argument, there is a
reason for this.

Usage
Use this method for any clean-up activities when the session
ends. A
session ends when the session is inactive for the session
time-out
period or, if using J2EE sessions, the user closes the
browser. You can,
for example, save session-related data, such as shopping cart
contents
or whether the user has not completed an order, in a
database, or do any
other required processing based on the users status.
You might also
want to log the end of the session, or other session related
information, to a file for diagnostic use.
If you call this method explicitly, ColdFusion does not end
the session;
it does execute the method code, but does not lock the
Session.
You cannot use this method to display data on a user page,
because it is
not associated with a request.
You can access shared scope variables as follows:
You must use the SessionScope parameter to access the Session
scope. You
cannot reference the Session scope directly; for example, use
Arguments.SessionScope.myVariable, not Session.myVariable.
You must use the ApplicationScope parameter to access the
Application
scope. You cannot reference the Application scope directly;
for example,
use Arguments.ApplicationScope.myVariable, not
Application.myVariable.
Use a named lock when you reference variables in the
Application scope,
as shown in the example.
You can access the Server scope directly; for example,
Server.myVariable.
You cannot access the Request scope.
Sessions do not end, and the onSessionEnd method is not
called when an
application ends. The onSessionEnd does not execute if there
is no
active application, however.

Cfhttp error on CF7 but not CF8 - need help

I have been battling this for a few days now, and I am starting to go a bit insane. So, I am hoping someone can offer some assistance.
I am trying to make a call to the Live Contacts API. On CF8, I can get this to work but on CF7 it throws an error:
<cfhttp url="#theURL#" method="get" result="httpResult">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="DelegatedToken dt=""#dt#""" />
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="*" />
</cfhttp>
The Error:
Charset
[empty string]
ErrorDetail
I/O Exception: peer not authenticated
Filecontent
Connection Failure
Header
[undefined struct element]
Mimetype
Unable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader
struct [empty]
Statuscode
Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.
Text
YES
theURL and dt are dynamically created with the info returned from the consent token. This process fine and they are what they should be. But there is a difference between versions that is throwing it off. My theory is that it is a charset issue. I ran into similar with Gmail Contacts API on CF7 v CF8. I was able to get that resolved by using: charset="utf-8". However, that doesn't work for Live. <cfhttp url="#theURL#" method="get" result="httpResult" charset="utf-8">.
I have tried about every combination I can think of but still get a connection error. On CF8 servers (tested on two different ones) it worked perfect.
In googling and looking at forums, I notice this in reference to an SSL issue. I don't think that is the case here, as one of my servers doesn't have an SSL in use that would affect things. But, it is in a hosting environment, so maybe.
I think I am missing something small or some combination of headers or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated...and maybe ever rewarded with a Starbucks GC! If you have any questions or need any more info let me know.
Thanks.

also sent to you on twitter:
you have:
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="DelegatedToken dt=""#dt#""" />
try:
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value='DelegatedToken dt="#dt#"' />
note the use of single and double quotes.
not sure if that would cause it but worth a shot.
Does the Live API require that the dt be surrounded by double quotes?

No error message, but no mail sent - need help troubleshooting

I'm having a problem with sending email since I moved my site to a new server. Trying to get to the bottom of it.
Question: if I do props.put("mail.debug", "true") to turn on debugging, where does this output debug statements to? I'm on a linux server, and I checked /var/log/maillog but don't see anything in there.
Is it logging on Tomcat? I'm trying to find those logs, but am having trouble. Any help is appreciated.
Tyson

Debug output goes to either System.out or System.err. I don't know where those things are redirected to in Tomcat, but you could search the Servlets forum where I know that question has been asked before.
However, it sounds like you are trying to solve two problems (mail and servlets) at the same time. If you can, solve the problems one at a time. For example, write a trivial application that sends an e-mail, then run that application on your server with debugging output turned on. Once you know that e-mail works, then put the code into your servlet.

I am not sure if any of my previous messages went thru or not, but I have Photoshop Elements 7.0. I learned how to open a blank file and use a textbox to make my watermark and also my copyright logo and save them each as a brush. They were saved in the Drop Shadow Brushes. When I used my cloning stamp yesterday, I switched brushes to basic. When I later attempted to go back into the drop shadow brush set where I had saved the watermark and copyright logo, a message came up telling me the file couldnot be opened because it wasnot compatible with this version of Photoshop. I presume it is because of the special brushes saved there. What do I do now?

Kelly,
I am thinking that if this is a problem with the program, I am thinking that you have a chance to call Apple, and they can either fix the program for free, or give you a brand new macbook.
Since you are new, I can help you. Macs somehow are a little more advanced than Windows, because you cannot encounter a virus made for windows. If a virus was to come, it has a high chance to NEVER and I mean NEVER coming into your computer system and destroy your computer. It has to be able to adapt to the programs that Apple has made, and since windows viruses are not compatible with macs they unfortunately will never destroy your motherboard.
Thats just to tell you, that you don't have to worry about viruses.
You have to worry about that, you have to be careful on what you do on the internet, there are things that can crash your computer. Thats why, it is better to be using Firefox, you can use the version 2.0.1 or 3.0.
The new version of firefox is nearly the same as the other version 2.0.1.
Firefox is a lot better, because.
1. it is safer and 3rd party cookies and other people are not able to see it.
2. You can modify what you want. The history can be deleted automatically, when you quit firefox (apple Q)
3. Nearly everyone who uses Macs, and Windows, can use it, and if you use firefox on a windows, it is the same, there are very high possibilities, that viruses will not be able to break through.
4. FIREFOX RULES! ^_^
I feel that I should PROBABLY tell you more, if you don't mind.
Like if you want to have msn on your mac. DON'T EVER and I mean DON'T EVER download a version of msn that is under the file of EXE. Mac is not compatible with the .exe files. The best thing you can actually go to, is to the apple download site that one that you are on now, but just click on downloads.
MSN WILL BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD
Don't worry, viruses will not be able to come in either. Although the only down poor is that, the mac messenger does NOT have WEBCAM, NO offline messaging, and you CAN'T make microphone chat, or the webcam with microphone chat.. you have to find another program that lets you do that. I use a different type of messenger. Yahoo, you cannot use the webcam for people who are using windows messenger on your yahoo messenger.
You have to also know that, you can use msn2go.com for messenger when your at a cafe, libraries, municipal airports, mall if possible, nearly EVERYWHERE you can use wireless. It also comes with gigabyte ethernet.
You might think that wireless is more secure, well it's not. You have to secure the router and put a password on it if you don't want people to get onto the internet, or as people say Hijack or backpack.
Also you can go to system preferences and go to security, and then there are three tabs. General, fire vault, and firewall. You should just click on the General tab, and click the first one that says DISABLE AUTOMATIC LOGIN. That means that when you setup your password when you did a first boot up, you now do not have to worry about people trying to get into your laptop. So that means when you turn on your laptop, and now you will have your own account, and a guest account if possible, so then now you have to enter your password, and then you will be able to login.
If you close your lid, your computer will go to sleep, and then when you open up the laptop lid, then you will have to enter your password to. So then you will be able to login... I would not recommend your password being Kelly and your last name in it... put something that you can really remember, and something that is easy like an easy word

Have a good day.

Need help with PC build for use with Photoshop CS4 Extended - Have I made the right choices?

Hello,
I'm very new to the inner workings of a PC...this will be first time building one from scratch. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be confident. I will use the PC primarily for editing, secondarily for iTunes management. I've heard that I should have, at the very least, an SSD for PS, other apps and the O/S. I'll also have a hard drive for data storage. Do I need yet another SSD for scratch? If so, any recs for one? Also, my current build (which does not include any SSDs) is about $800. What can I skinny down, without sacrificing a huge amount of speed/performance? I am looking for major guidance here...I'm ready to order, but I keep second-guessing my choices. I want to make sure I get this right the first time around. I want this machine to last me a good long while. Any help at all will be HUGELY appreciated!

Thanks!

Make sure the motherboard is the third revision as the earlier two had problems with the i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge)
I prefer Asus motherboards but doesn't mean the Gigabyte is a problem. (I note that it scored 4 eggs...)
May not make a difference in Photoshop but for Premiere the Geforce video cards with GDDR5 are preferred.
The LiteOn iHas 224 does lightscribe which is a nice touch for clients/gifts.
There is no room to save as I would consider your build minimum specs for a nice photoshop experience.
As for SSD drives...my research of reviews and articles makes me feel the technology is not ready for mission critical work. So if you are running a business then I recommend not using SSD drives. Rather look at Raptor 10,000 rpm drive for Windows and Photoshop and use the Spinpoint for storage. If not business then I've read the intel x25 SSD drives are solid but I have no personal experience with them.
Cheers,
Steve
