Exe build with database conn and report generation vi's?

I tried to build an .exe and learned the hard way that there are many things needed to be included for this to work. As is now my program is not working.
I wanted to get a list of necessary steps to make a successful build. Please correct me if I am wrong or missing anything:
1. For the report generation toolkit I must include a few support files (_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb)
2. For the database connectivity: I must follow NI's User guide by implementing the toolset build script function? Is there an easier way?
If there are any simpler ways to get this working please let me know.
Dev machine=vista LV2010 office 2007
Target machine=XP office 2007

Thanks for the response,
Yes I have the runtime installed. I also got the program working correctly by doing the following:
LV 8.6 and greater-->
1. added two folders to the project from the project explorer menu.
      a. Utilities folder
      b. LVClass folder
2. during the .exe build I had to:
      a. add LVClass folder to always include in source file settings
      b. browse in the Utilities folder to NIReportLLB folder and add that to always include as mentioned above (note: if you add the whole utilities folder you will get a broken vi error when building it, even if you fix the vi it still didn't work properly for me so I just included the folder I needed for word/excel)
took about a day to troubleshoot and fix but the program is working as expected. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Any ideas?
Scientia est potentia!

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

Application doesn't work after build (database toolkit and report gen toolkit).

I wrote an application using database toolkit and report gen toolkit to retrieve some data from a database, put into a Word doc, save the Word doc and print it. It works fine when I run the vi, but when I build and run it, it does nothing. I have tried all of the settings in Projec Manager that I think might help but it still won't work right. Labview 8.2.1, XP.
Thanks,
Charlie

Thanks for the help. I finally abondened the Word append table and used the regular report gen append table and got it to work fine. The error was 214682314. That led me to the thread about column numbers must vbe between 1 and 63, but like I said, my coulumn number is 7 so don't know what is going on. Anyway I got the vi to work and do what I want so I guess now the problem is solved (moot).

I Need to build a database/booking and dispatch system that intergrates with iCal, Address Book and all Apple device's What would be the best Way.

Hi
Can anyone give me some useful information on the best ways to design and build a database/booking & dispatch system that can be intergrated through ical, address book and available on my macbook, ipad & iphone and all accessed through icloud.
I started my own chauffuer Service a year ago as an independent. it's becoming a massive bore that most of my time is spent taking down information, checking if i am available for clients and with alot of diary checking and repeatative entries and email ping pong and invoicing, what i want to do is concerntrate on advertising and marketing and using my time off for R & R
What i would like to do is access my information in an app and automate most of the processes like
assigning the job to the client with intergration through iCal and Address Book
be able to email confirmation through mail with an invoice produced through numbers or excel
payment is already done through payleven mobile and must be done in person so i'd rather keep that seperate to all processes apart from a tick box to say it has been paid for.
I have been looking at all options FileMaker, Bento, Automator, Apple Script. to be frank im no expert and am a little confused as to what to do any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.
Take a look here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/30/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing/
and here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/31/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing-part-ii-the-q uickening/

Problems with LabView 7.1.1 and Report Generation

I have just upgraded from LabView 7.1 to 7.1.1. As per the release notes, I did a mass compile of the vi.lib/addons/_office folder (which contains the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office v1.1) but I get a lot of error messages complaining about "Bad VI". These VIs are no longer available after this operation. If I don't compile them (ie leave them in 7.1 format) then LabView complains that some subVIs are not executable.
Are LabView 7.1.1 and the Office toolkit 1.1 compatible? How do I get them to work together?
Simon

Maybe you have figured this out by now.... But after reinstalling/upgrading LV you must reinstall your Report Generation Toolkit.
If you care for the why.... There are a few files that both the Report Geneartion Toolkit and LV install, only the the Report Generation Toolkit installs a more beefed up version of the files. When you upgraded LV, LV copied a new version of these files (a version that doesn't have the Report Gen support in it) over the Report Generation version. So you have to run the toolkit installer to get the toolkit version back.

Weblogic 10.3.5 with oracle forms and reports 11.1.2.1.0

Hi All,
I am new to 11g concept (actually web based, have worked till 6i) and trying to upgrade my existing system (6i) to 11g. I have installed Weblogic 10.3.5 with forms and reports 11.1.2.1.0 on windows 7 32 bit. I can connect to my database (10g) from Form builder.
But when I try to open a form/pll of 10g or 6i, it says PDE-PLI018 could not find library and it shows the path of my earlier folder, which now does not exist.
I have made changes in registry FORMS_PATH, FORMS_BUILDER_PATH, UI_ICON
And in default.env file FORMS_PATH and CLASSPATH
I have added entry to tnsnames.ora, through which I can connect to DB. And have followed below site to configure weblogic and FM forms and reports;
http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/install-configure-oracle-weblogic-server-10-3-6-forms-reports-11g-on-windows8windows-2008-r2/
I have few doubts in my mind;
1) Do we have to connect (create a bridge) to DB from weblogic except tnsnames.ora.
2) For library error I think I am missing some settings to be done.
3) If I am able to rectify above error then can I directly use http://localhost:8888/forms/frmservlet and access the system from another pc, or still there are some modifications needed.
I am trying this from last 3 days, but couldn't find the solution, kindly help me out for same, eagerly waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Ash

Hi InoL,
Thanks for your reply, Yes, as there are many forms in my system, there is a chance that libraries attached are with the path.

Xml parsing and report generation probs

Hello everyone,
I am facing with a peculiar problem.
I have an xml which contains special characters like �( cent) . So I parse it before i send it to the DOM parser. BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputFileName,"ISO-8859-1"));
and i have a function which replaces the cent with #xA2; .After i replace the special chars , i pass it to the parse method and i have some classes which update the database.the whole process works fine.
Now I have a report generation where i generate an HTML passing the string after the values are updated in the DB . So when i pass the string , and replace #xA2 with cent symbol, it is being interrupted as '?' in the windows and unix environment
This is something to do with the encoding.But my encoding is ISO-8859-1 as mentioned
Can you please help me out with this prob
Regards
KV

I have some sympathy with you because I had problems with the cent sign in the XML world too. But not much... you have XML parsing going on, you're writing to a database, you're generating HTML, you have a manual hack for the cent sign. One or more of these things is causing you a problem. Do not try to test them all at once, like you are doing. Test only one thing at a time.

How to correct close database connection after report generation

Hello
I have problem a with alive database connection after report creation and report closing. How to properly to close connection to database?
Best regards
Edited by: punkers84 on Jun 17, 2011 10:38 AM

that's what I am doing... after viewing the report, I call the close method on the window closing event of the container window. but the connection is still open. I had a lot of other issues with my jdbc driver but after downgrading to an older version those issues are resolved.Only this one is still there! Is there any other way to close the connection (like using dbcontroller or etc.)?

File Dialog and Report Generation Toolkit

Hi,
I designed a VI for an electrometer calibration and it works quite well The only problem I have is the following:
I used the Report Generation Toolkit to put the measurement data in an Excel file. When I run the VI I'd like a window to pop up to define the location and name of the Excel report file. If these two things are done LabVIEW should create the specified Excel file and run the rest of the code.
So i tried this with the "File Dialog" Vi and all the needed low-level File I/O VIs and it worked.
But when i connect the "File Dialog" VI with the "New Report" VI of the Report Generation Toolkit I get an error message.
Is there any solution to get this file dialog pop up window with the Report Generation VIs?
thx for any help...!

Flash to iPhone and Report Generation

Is it possible for an iPhone app created through Adobe Flash Professional to save an image to the Photo application?
Is it possible also to send an email with an attachment?

KRAZE4LV wrote:Each files I reduce twice using each excel file
Instead of running the VI twice, why not change your decimation factor to 100 (instead of 10)?
I don't know what your reports are supposed to look like, so it's kind of hard to tell you what to do with the report generation toolkit VIs. All I can tell from your description is you need to create a report of Word type. I'm guessing from there you would want the Append Table To Report.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Best Practice in V7.0 : Issues with Sales Planning and Reporting

I am trying to install the SAP Best Practices for BPC 5.1 on SAP PBC 7.0 SP 04 I have done this as I cannot find any Best Practice documents for version 7 as yet.
I have managed to get through the Administration setup and most of the BPC -Administration Configuration Guide, however I am having a problem with 7.4 Running a Data ManagementPackage - Import on page 32 of 36. This step involves you uploading a data file Demo_Revenue_Data.txt into BPC.
The file says that it has failed due to Ínvalid dimension ACCOUNT in lookup.
I believe that this error may be driven by a previous step 6.4 Creating Script Logic where the logic for BP_Sales Application was required.
My question is twofold in that I need to determine:
1. Has anyone else tried the BestPractices for BPC 5.0 in BPC 7.0?
2. Does anyone know how to overcome the error when uploading the Demo Revenue into BPC?
Edited by: Kevin West on Jul 8, 2009 2:03 PM

Hi,
BPC best practices document from 5 is working fine also for 7.0 because 7.0 is just an update for 5.x.
Running Import involve logic just if you are running the package with option enabled (Run Default Logic).
Your issue seems to be related to maping which means you have to check Transformation and Conversion file.
Any way the best practices document will not provide you information about how to build Transformation and Conversion files.
You have to follow an SAP BPC training and that it will help you to build your applicatioon easier and faster.

Logserver output and report generation

Hi All,
I am trying to view the daily reports in merchandising workbench.
Following are the steps which I followed:
- Checked the checkboxe for daily reports in Merchandising workbench -> Application Settings -> Report generation
- Copying the logserver output files from ./logs/logserver_output to ./reports/input.
- Running DailyReportGenerator component from Merchandising workbench -> EAC Administration -> Admin Console
After these steps, I am able to view the reports.
But my question is that do we have to copy the logserver output files to input folder of reports everytime or does this automatically copy when DailyReportGenerator runs?
Also when does DailyReportGenerator runs? Does it run after every baseline we run or does it run once in a day automatically or do we have to run this manually from EAC admin console.
Can somebody provide a clear insight of the whole process of integrating log server files with report generation?
Thanks in advance

Japneet

Integrating CP5 Quiz questions with My Own and Reporting ONE SCORE

Science teacher trying to convince my department to move toward paperless testing.
Out of the Box, I find
I've learnt how to use variables and Advanced Actions to create several true/false questions on a single slide and report their scores.
Is it possible to have MYscore variables change the PROJECT score variable?
eg EXPRESSION: "PROJECTSCORE" = v_MyQuestionScores + "PROJECTSCORES"
Am I allowed to mess with the project variables?
Regards
Greg

Normally you cannot change the score via any other method than using a quiz slide or an interactive object.
But now you can use the Interactive Master widget from Infosemantics to take data from user variables and use these as slave objects to override the score assigned to the Master widget, which then gets reported to the quiz.
If you want to try this out, download a free trial widget from here and give it a go.
