How to call a Linux exe from LabVIEW for Windows

Hello,
I need to call a non-LabVIEW Linux executable using LabVIEW for Windows. Any suggestions, aside from buying LabVIEW for Linux?
Thank you,
Chris White

Okay, I'll throw out a few ideas and I'll let you pick which one you may think is easiest.
1. Use the internet toolkit ($$$) or build a simple telnet client yourself in LabVIEW (use the TCP VIs in labview). This would allow you to connect to the telnet port of your linux box, login, password, and execute a command. (You'll probably want to use nohup, do a man on nohup to find out more).
2. Install SSH daemon on your linux box, and an ssh client on your windows machine. You can't get SSH for windows from cygwin. This would be more secure, and you wouldn't need to use the TCP VIs, you could simply use the "system exec" vi to call SSH.
3. On your linux box, install your app in inetd. Then, whenever someone connected to a certai
n port # on the linux box, it would execute your command. A little dangerous because someone might try to connect 50 million times (or a port scan) and kill your box. You also wouldn't be able to send a dynamic command line argument.
4. Write a small TCP application on your linux box to wait for connections (listen for command line options) and execute your command.
You'll probably find one of these options ideal depending on your administration and programming background.

How to call a LV.exe from LV via ActiveX?

Hi all,
I need some kind of atomic task, e.g. some (short) instructions that cannot be aborted. Calling a DLL, wait some ms, calling it again... And even an Abort via VI server shall not abort this atomic task but finish it.
I thought about building an LV application and run it via ActiveX.
Building the app is managed. But running it via ActiveX is still unsolved.
Have extensively searched for examples for this, but the only source I came up with was
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DD6B56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52051&p_source=external
This one is about 6 years old and talks about LV 5.1, whereas I use LV 7.1.
Nevertheless I have performed all steps as described there, e.g. enabling ActiveX, granting privileges, enabled DCOM with dcomcnfg and registering my app. Finally I could open an automation refnum to it. But whatever ActiveX class I choose, there's no way to set a control in my app and to run or call it. Lots of mysterious errors (depending on what class I choosed), amoung them 5012 (exception occored).
Any newer instruction or another idea on how to get an atomic VI?
BTW, I am not sure if a DLL would do it, as it runs in the context of LabVIEW. I believe I need this atomic VI in a different context. Right?Message Edited by LuI on 06-17-2005 04:08 PM

Hi Lul
I create a small example to run an LV application an run it via ActiveX in LV 7.1.
To build the application I change:
VI settings => Run when opened => No
Application settings => Enable Active X server
to register the executable I only run it once.
Hope this helps

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How can i load a VI from LABVIEW ver 6.0.1b3 to LABVIEW ver 6.1

How can i load a VI from LABVIEW ver 6.0.1b3 to LABVIEW ver 6.1......I want to load a vi but i'm getting this error:
LabVIEW load error code 9:VI version (6.1) is newer than LabVIEW version (6.0.1b3)
My LabVIEW ver is 6.1
Please help ......it's important
Thanks

I am having similar issues with a *.exe from LV6.1. I have the runtime engine for 6.1 and recently upgraded to 8.2 from 7.1. I've never had 6.1 on my machine. I am able to install this executible and runtime engine on a machine with 7.1 and can run the *.exe fine.
I get a load error and am not sure why. I have had similar issues with old VI's that I have written in 7.1 executing on this machine w/ 8.2
any suggestions.

Pda execute other exe from Labview

I'm looking for ways to execute an exe from Labview PDA that is stored on the PDA (another PDA application)... I'm running WM5.0 ... .any ideas ...
Greycat

Hey Greycat.
That is a great question! So as you noticed there is no equivalent to System Exec in LabVIEW PDA, so you cannot launch an application that way. I would think that there would be a DLL that could be called on the PDA that will allow you to launch applications. However, after several Google searches I was not able to come up with any specific code or DLLs. Once you found that DLL hoewever, you shouldn't have problems launch an EXE. I am assuming that these are not other LabVIEW PDA built EXEs, which is a shame since you might be able to open a VI reference to that VI.

How to call a SQL function from an XSL expression

Hi
In R12, in Payroll Deposit adivce/Check writer, We need to sort the earnings tag <AC_Earnings> in to two different categories as regular and other earnings. In the DB and form level of element defintiion we have a DFF which differentiates between the two kinds of earnings. But the seeded XML that is gerneated by the check writer does not have this field.
The seeded template displays all the earnings in one column. How can we achieve this in the template without modifying the seeded XML.
The one approach i have is to write a function and based on the return value sort the data. For this I need to know :

How to call a web service from forms 9i

Hello all, I was trying to run the example on this website that shows how to call a webservice from forms, and I recieved an error. I am at the last step, where it tells me to create a button and add a when button pressed trigger. Here is the code I am using from the example:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv ora_java.jobject;
ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
jo := CurrencyExchangeServiceStub.new;
--This will get the exchange rate from US Dollars to UK Sterling.
rv := CurrencyExchangeServiceStub.getRate(jo,'USA','UK');
message (float_.floatValue(rv));
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
It gives me an error on"Exception_.tostring" component must be declared. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to figure out how to call an external WS from a form. Thanks.

How to call a function module from a transformation

Could somebody please let me know how I can call an abap function module from a transformation (abap xslt program). I know how to call the class methods from transformation, but how do i call a function module..?
Thanks,

Edited by: Shashi Kanth Kasam on Apr 8, 2010 12:45 PM

Ya. I can do that. But I don't want to use a class and a method to call that function module. Want to directly call function module from transformation. Is that possible..?

Its Code is given on below link:
Re: how to call a jsp page from oaf
Please help me to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Raj,
1. Hope you have placed the custom jsp page (which you have downloaded from server) under "jdevhome\jdev\myhtml\OA_HTML" directory ?
2. Try to run the custom jsp page from Jdeveloper directly and check whether its working properly or not ?
(i.e. add jsp page to any project in Jdeveloper then right click on jsp page and select Run xxx.jsp)
3. If page errors out then custom jsp page seems require few parameters to run it successfully. Pass all requied parameters and test.
4. There is no problem in the way you are calling jsp page from OAF page.

Anand

How to call a web Service from Oracle Applications?

Hi friends,
I've posted this question on OA Framework forum , but may be it's more appropiated put it here. Sorry for do it again:
It's about how to call a web service from a Form or a .sql (via Request) in Oracle Applications:
Could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I did using java program to call BPEL web services in 11.5.10.
I pasted below the metalink note for your reference (Note:250964.1)
The idea is first write a java program to call the webservice (in my case it is calling an BPEL web service, so this may not help directly), test it.
Then port the java program as specified in the note, so that you could call your web service through concurrent manager scheduler.
Is this ok?
Thanks
Arun.
