Getting LabVIEW-Perforce integration to work with a complex Perforce Workspace

Hi
I am having trouble getting my Perforce system to work with LabVIEW 8.6 Professional. Briefly, Perforce has a special system for splitting a workspace over two logical drives. In my case these are a Novell shared drive which holds versions which I have "published" as a code branch for colleagues, and my local drive which holds the development line. To do this requires Perforce workspace settings of:
Workspace-> VMware-NI
root -> null
AltRoots ->
c:/
r:/
View->
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/LV851/release/..." "//VMWare-NI/r:/NI/LabVIEW851/user.lib/B.J. Treves Brown/..."
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/LV860/release/..." "//VMWare-NI/r:/NI/LabVIEW860/user.lib/B.J. Treves Brown/..."
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/main/..." //VMWare-NI/c:/Users/mcnssbt/Documents/LabVIEW/Lib-Devel/...
<etc>
This works correctly with the Perforce tools, but not from the LabVIEW project using either Perforce Command Line or Perforce SCM.
If I cut the workspace down to 
root -> c:/
AltRoots->
View ->  
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/main/..." //VMWare-NI/c:/Users/mcnssbt/Documents/LabVIEW/Lib-Devel/...
Then LabVIEW integration works correctly, identifying which files are checked out, etc.
Any ideas (apart from maintaining two workspace definitions)?
Thanks

Hi Bernard
I received information from R&D regarding this issue, and it seems like
the problem is not with the integration between Perforce and LabVIEW, but rather
the way in which the   utilization of the "AltRoots" feature. This feature
is intended to use the same Perforce client specifications on multiple
platforms with different directory naming conventions. It was
not meant to be used with two drives on the same platform, which can lead to the
following issues. Please see the link below for a definition
of the AltRoots command.

I hope this helps,
Many thanks

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

    Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ? 
    I'll keep looking around. 
    Steve

    If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
    But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
    If  you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

  • I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with VPN provider.

    I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with my VPN service provider.  Using OS 4.3.3.  iPad purchased in the USA.  Have heard there are issues with iPad 2 and VPN support.  Any suggestions?

    You can try this ... hold down on the sleep button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen, release the buttons and see if the iPad restarts and you can use it.

  • Can't get Bose computer speakers to work with my Mac pro lion

    I have just bought the Bose Companion 11 computer speakers for my Mac Book Pro. They are set up correctly (in the headphone jack) and they play my itunes music beautifully. However, when they are plugged in I get no sound from internet videos, etc. I have to take the plug out of my headphones jack and then I get the sound from my computer but not the speakers. Can anyone help ..I don't know what I am doing wrong...or how to get the Bose speakers to work with all my computer (internet content). I looked at system preferences and the Output says headphone port but the input says internal microphone (built-in).
    Please help.
    Thank You,
    Karen

    Don't worry about offending me...I am, admittedly, no computer whiz! I have had speakers before....but I took these in to Best Buy...with my computer (Where I bought them) and the "Geek" person plugged them in and they worked.
    What we did notice was that the jack that goes into the plug just below the left speaker plug was loose. So I brought it home and it worked! Then tonight I turned on my computer and no speaker input, so I checked the back of the right speaker and that plug (if that is the right name?) had fallen out...so re-connected it and they work! So, I guess I may have to tape that plug in ...or what do you suggest??...so it doesn't keep falling out.
    Thanks so much for answering me.

  • What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story.  Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
    What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    If it is not compatible then you will need to look at the appstore to find something compatible to be able to print.

    After hours restoring phone and resetting all my accounts and settings the Bluetooth is back on. Not sure how long this will last. In regards to AirPlay taking over, I had to drive far enough from our wifi signal to allow the Bluetooth to take back the audio. Its working for now.

  • How do I get my Jawbone Era to work with my Ipad 2

    How do I get my Jawbone Era to work with my Ipad 2?  The Ipad shows the Jawbone as synced, however, when I play a video it does not play through the Jawbone, only the Ipad speaker.

    You need to pair the iPad with the bluetooth keyboard. I don't understand how you could have used it even once without doing this process (unless whoever sold the iPad and keyboard to you did this for you?) but perhaps it has somehow become unpaired. There should be instructions with the bluetooth keyboard on how to pair it with an iOS device like your iPad, but the general process is pretty straightforward as described here:
    iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories
    If you can't find the pairing instructions/user guide that came with the keyboard then look on the manufacturer's website, they'll almost certainly have downloadable User Guides containing the info on pairing.
