How do I run a labview executable from C++

I have an application written in C++ that runs some VIs in the Labview Development Environment. I'm using Labview 6.02 and VisualC++ and the runtime engine is installed. What I want to do is not use the LDE and just call the LV executable from C++. I found some documentation but what I tried is not working for me. What I am looking for is a good example of C++ code that runs a LV executable.
The help would be appreciated.

One possibility is to think of the LV executable the same as an
executable built with any other development tool. Invoke it using the
command function that launches via the command line or a fork command.
Another possibility is to make a DLL instead of an EXE.
Finally, you have the option of using the VI Server through a
ctiveX.
This will work better if you have only one of the executables or the LV
editing environment on a particular PC.

How can I run a labview executable file inside a VI

How can i add and run a labview executable file inside the vi and grab the output of the executable file to be used in the vi?

Hi cmdrb,
to run an executable you use SystemExec function.
To get the output of your (LabVIEW-made) executable you need to program some data transfer means: you may use network functions or file functions. In both cases your "LabVIEW executable" needs to provide that options…

How can I call a LabVIEW executable from within another LabVIEW executable?

I have a customer requirement for two LabVIEW executables. Based on their current setup, they need to run executable "A" or "B", both of which are under independent revision control. I have created a third "selection" executable that allows the operator to choose between one of the two, but I am receiving errors when I attempt to call a LabVIEW executable from within a LabVIEW executable using either the "System exec" VI or the "Run Application" VI. If I call a non-LabVIEW executable (such as Windows Explorer) everything works fine.

As with the other poster, I suspect a path problem. You might try the
path out in a shell window, and if it works, copy the complete absolute
path to LV to see if that works. LV is basically passing the comma
nd to
the OS and doesn't even know what is in it, so you should be able to get
it to work.
The other poster commented on subpanels, which is a good suggestion, but
without going to LV7, an EXE can have open more than one VI. You can
use the VI Server and the Run method to fire up another top-level VI.
The decision is whether you want both to be in unique processes.

Running A LabVIEW executable in Windows 7

Can I run a Labview executable created with Labview 8.6(32-bit) in windows 7 or Vista. If this can be done then how to do it? I've tried copy the lvrt.dll(run-time engine) into the system 32 folder, but it doesn't solved my problem. For info, My Labview exe file also consist the fuzzy logic toolkit.
Hope someone will help me. Thanks.

Is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence?

I have created a custom TestStand operator interface and have modified the default sequential process model to display a UUT information dialog that prompts for more information than just the UUT serial number. This UUT information dialog is a LabVIEW VI. To distribute the operator interface, I build it into an executable. As part of the build process, I make a copy of the UUT information dialog VI (which is part of my operator interface project) and place it in the same folder as the executable. I have then configured the sequential process model to call the dialog VI from this location. It would be really nice if I could embed the UUT information dialog VI inside the operator interface executable so that I could distribute just an executable instead of an executable and separate VIs. Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence just like a standard LabVIEW VI call?

Ryan,
The dialog that you've created isn't being directly called by the OI at all and shouldn't need to be included in the same directory as the OI for distribution. Since you are modifying the PreUUT of the default process model, you will give the path to the VI in that step, create a deployment and then manually copy the VI to the directory referenced in the step. The VI is considered a support file for the process model and is not related to the OI at all.

i searhced about exe format but i didnt find enough info
Sorry, but you should define more precisely what is your goal:
" i searhced about exe format but i didnt find enough info"
If you build an exe using Labview, that exe will not run on iOS, or Android, if this is what you ask...
Nor Windows Phone or Windows RT. A LabVIEW exe is compiled and linked for x86 or AMD64 architecture with Win32 API architecture and will only run on Windows for x86 or x64 systems.
Windows Phone and Windows RT are despite the similarity in the name technically completely different platforms to the normal Desktop Windows system, just as different as MacOS X or iOS.

1. WARNING: This procedure is for advanced users only. Some third-party software may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if the home folder is moved.
2. Back up all data.
3. Copy your home folder to the desired location, which must be on a volume of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with file ownership enabled, as shown in the Finder Info dialog. Encryption is optional. The volume must be on a local storage device, not on the network, and it must be mounted automatically at startup — before any user logs in. A disk image will not work.
The name of your home folder is your short user name. Do not rename it. Do not copy the "Users" folder.
5. Select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Users & Groups
Click the lock icon and authenticate. Right-click or control-click your name in the account list, and select Advanced options from the popup menu. In the sheet that opens, change the location of the home directory. Log out and log back in.
6. Test. If you have problems, reverse the above steps. If you got this far, you should have no trouble doing that. If everything works as you expect, delete the original home folder.

How do i run a Repair Disk from ARD

how do i run a Repair Disk from ARD

have you considered a netboot image and or a safeboot?
With a netboot image you could try repairing the drive remotely. (the down side is this requires a mac os x server to do)
A SafeBoot can be remotely triggered, and it include automatic disk check and repair. (the downside is depending on how the computer is connected to the network, it may not re-connect to the network when safeboot complete and boots into 'safe mode'. ) I find if the computer is connected to the network by a built-in ethernet adapter, I can usually still access the computer in safe mode
Before running a disk repair or permissions repair, it's a good idea to make sure the computer is backed up.
Also, in the case that a NetBoot, Disk Repair, or SafeBoot fails, you would probable want to be able to physically walk over to the computer.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck explains that SafeBoot includes Automatic Verify and Repair of Disk.
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode explains how to use the terminal to configure a computer to SafeBoot into SafeMode. It also explains how to turn off SafeBoot after booting into SafeMode.
cheers!

How do you run another Java file from a master Java file?

We're making a game in Java at school, and we need to know how we can run a Java file from another one - like inside the master Java file, we need to have a command to run game.java (something like that). Thanks!

We're making a game in Java at school, and we need to know how we can run a Java file from another one - like inside the master Java file, we need to have a command to run game.java (something like that). Thanks!One doesn't "run a Java file", and there's no conventional definition of "master Java file". If you want to call the main() method of another class, just make sure the class is in your classpath and call the method. If you want to start up a separate JVM with that class as a process, use Runtime.exec() or similar method.

Is it possible to run a Labview executable on a Windows 8 Phone?

If I create an executable from Labview,will it be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, as Mike already said.
The reason being that a LabVIEW executable contains binary code that is compiled for the x86 CPU architecture and accesses the Win32 API. Windows Phone typically runs on ARM or RISC CPUs and did only provide a very limited Win32 subset in the past. With the new Windows RT technology it actually moved even further away from Win32 compatibility as it's entire architecture is based on the .Net technology.
So even if you happen to get an Intel Atom based Windows Phone device which would be x86 compatible it couldn't work, since a LabVIEW executable is a Win32 portable executable format not a .Net bytecode image.

How do I run a full process from SSIS ???

Hi all
I run BPC 5.1 SP3, and I need to automate a series of jobs, but the system is giving me problems and I hope someone can help out.
I need to automate a full optimize and then a full process of our AppSets.
I know that in SP3, the Appsets are taken offline for the full optimize and are then left offline, so in-between I run the "SystemAvailableTask" to set the Appsets back online.
Additionally, all dependencies are removed from the FACT table for the optimized AppSets, which are only rebuilt by performing the full process afterwards.
Anyway, the problem I have is that the optimize is running quite happily from SSIS, as is the SystemAvailableTask.
Up to this point in the job, everything works as intended, so I now have a fully optimized Appset, which is available for users to access.
However, the Full Process job then fails.
I have run the Full Process as a standalone job from SSIS and it takes 2m36s to run, but fails to rebuild any dependencies.
When I ran it from the SAP Admin program, it took 9m57s to run and rebuilt everything correctly.
I am currently only offered 1 option in the SSIS package, which is to run a Full or an Incremental process, so I select Full.
However, on the right-hand side, there are various other options available (such as bApplicationProcess, PROCESSMODE (set to "3"), PROCESSOPTION (set to "1"))
Should I be changing any of the settings on the right to make the job run properly, or should I be doing it differently.
Obviously, I need to make this work from SSIS, as I can't schedule a full process any other way, so I would be extremely grateful for any help that you can offer.
Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to write a Tuxedo server (i.e., using only
ATMI and no CORBA stuff) that does the following:
1.) In tpsvrinit(), the last thing that it should do is a tpacall to the
service contained in this server (and nowhere else) with the TPNOREPLY
flag.
2.) In the method that implements the service, do your database work, sleep
for a little while, do another tpacall to itself with the TPNOREPLY flag,
and return.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Calling labview executable from teststand

I have a labview VI that I build into an exe, and I'd like to call it from my teststand sequence in the setup - other test steps need to use its capabilities in the remainder of the sequence (main). If it were just a VI, then no problem, the inputs would be visible to me, and I could pass them in. Since it's an executable, though, my step is of type "Call Executable", but I don't see anywhere that it allows me to pass in the inputs it needs. Thoughts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What version of TestStand are you using? With TestStand 4.0 for the 'Call Executable' step there is a line called
Argument Expression:
Enter your parameters to pass into your LabVIEW executable. You will have to know which ones to pass in and in what order. I believe you can seperate the arguments by spaces. In my attachment, I pass in one parameter to a LabVIEW executable.
Remember, though you have to set the Build properties in LabVIEW to allow it to Pass command parameters to the application.
Thanks,
PH

How can I run a LabVIEW app as a service in 8.2

I have need to run a LabVIEW created Executable as a Service using LabVIEW 8.2. I have heard 8.2 can host it but I cannot find any docs on this. Any help would be appreciated. SvcAny was not an option that worked.

I would suggest trying to add the exe to the services under Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services. This should cause the exe to launch as a service.
