How to create web applications with the LabVIEW web server

Wonderful Forum,
I've noticed that sometimes it can be tricky for LabVIEW users to learn how to create their own custom web clients using the LabVIEW web server. I created a LabVIEW web development community group and wrote some tutorials to teach the basics of creating web clients using HTML, Javascript, and AJAX. The idea is that LabVIEW users without any web background can quickly look at some tutorials and examples to get started on their own projects.

Hi Joey,
A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

Can someone tell me how to create accounting entries with the account status as error

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to create accounting entries with the
account status as error?
Thanks!!

It's call fixed/static background, and it is NOT directly support by iweb, you will need post processing either in html or javascript.

There is an inconsistency between the authentication mode of target web application and the source web application after migrating to claims

I've had my farm upgraded from SP2010 to SP2013 for over 6 months now and all is well, however, I was refreshing my staging environment from production and I noticed that one of the databases still shows these errors when I run test-spcontentdatabase:
Category : Configuration
Error : False
UpgradeBlocking : False
Message : The [SharePoint Web App] web application is configured with claims authentication mode however the content database you are trying to attach is intended to be used against
a windows classic authentication mode.
Remedy : There is an inconsistency between the authentication mode of target web application and the source web application. Ensure that the authentication mode setting in upgraded web application is the
same as what you had in previous SharePoint 2010 web application. Refer to the link "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=236865" for more information.
This doesn't make sense considering I converted the production web application to claims during the upgrade and then verified all sites were working with claims logins. I also verified that existing AD user identities were converted to claims by checking out
the database tables. Yet test-spcontentdatabase still thinks there is a mismatch here.
My farm is SP1 and no further CUs. The point of this particular refresh is so I can update to the November CUs in my test farm. Anyone else see this? Seems like it's a bug/safe to ignore because my stuff is working.
Thanks,
Aaron

How to create an application with a 'Windows' like interface?

Hi,
I am trying to create an application with an windows like interface where menu selections need to open bound taskflows in a page/window but i can not get it to work. I did the following
- i created a page template with a panelStretchLayout
- added a menuBar with commandMenuItems
- created a start page based on the template
- created bound taskflows with page fragments for all menu items
- placed a dynamic region on the start page which initially shows a taskflow with an empty/blank page fragment
- change the dynamic region taskflow from every menuitem and added partial triggers on the dynamic region for every menu item
When i run the application the first empty page fragment is showed correctly but when i select a menu item the correct new page fragment is showed but it keeps showing a loading data .... hint and seems to freeze. So no data is showed while the underlying datacontrols work while using the bc tester.
Besides this problem i am wondering if i at all am going the right way with this with using a dynamic region? In the final application i will have a total of about 25 menu items over several menus and if they all will be showing in one main dynamic region with partial triggers set to all menu items it may get a bit complex? I saw you can also create a window in a popup which i like even more because it looks like an actual window but this is modal. I would like a bound taskflow to be opened whenever a menu selection is made.
Any pointers or tips or the solution to not showing data?
Kind Regards,
Andre

Hi Sascha,
If have not encountered that problem. Are you sure you have a taskflow entry under the executables tag in the page definition of the page which has the dynamic region on it? I have one like this:
<taskFlow id="dynamicRegion1" taskFlowId="${DynamicRegionBean.dynamicTaskFlowId}" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding"/>
During the selection of its initial value when it is rendering for the first time it should have the session bean already initialized. My bean looks like this:
public class DynamicRegion {
private String taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/startTF.xml#startTF";
public DynamicRegion() {
public TaskFlowId getDynamicTaskFlowId() {
return TaskFlowId.parse(taskFlowId);
public String feitenTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitenTF.xml#feitenTF";
return taskFlowId;
public String themasTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/themasTF.xml#themasTF";
return taskFlowId;
public String feitCategorienTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitCategorienTF.xml#feitCategorienTF";
return taskFlowId;
The startTF is the initial taskflow and the other methods are being called from my menu. The dynamic region has the menu items as partial triggers. That is all i did.
Kind Regards,
Andre

How to create a pdf with the correct size?

Hi there
How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

Is it possible to implement compression like gzip with the labview web server?

I am currently implementing a web page to be served by the NI sbRIO 9636. I was able to get html, css, and js served just fine. I am curious if there is a way to implement gzip compression to help with page load times?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, a couple points:
I have heard it discussed that you can in theory install a webserver on the Linux-based cRIO. But there is a great big caveat: I have never done it, or spoken to anyone who did so I don't know how well it would actually work.
Given the inexpensive price of hardware these days a safer alternative would be to include a separate computer the sole function of which is to host the web interface. There are many small computers that would be ideal for this application -- many of which were originally designed to work in home-theater applications.
The point of my post was that there are certain limitations in the LV webserver that you may have to find your way around.

How to create reports servers with the same name in two nodes in Reports

Greetings
We are migrating Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) to a better hardware infrastructure with high availability. We want to provide 2 new Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) in High availability and we want to avoid modify the existing forms and reports code, but the code is looking for a specific reports server name when calling reports, but I couldn't create the same reports server name in the both oas machines, I could create the reports server in only one node. I want to create a reports server with the same name in both nodes but it is not possible. I know that there is a procedure to do that in 10.1,2 (Note 437228.1, How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet) but I couldn't find the equivalent procedure in 9.0.4.
Anybody kwows how to create a reports server with the same name in two nodes using 10g (9.0.4)
Thanks
Ramiro Ortiz.

Hello.
I applied the patch 4092150 on my oas 9.0.4.2 and I modified my rwnetwork.conf file changing the port to 14022 by following the note "How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet? [ID 437228.1]" but I am facing the same error rep-56040 "server already exists in the network".
When I run osfind command I get the following information (My reports server is senarep and I want to create it on SNMMBOGOAS10):
osfind: Found 2 agents at port 14000

How to: Create a Program with the rs232 Device -Magcard Reader Writer

Hi Guys!.
Im New in using VB.net 2010 express
and it is my first time to do a project with a device needed to incorporate with it.
I have a device Magnetic Card Reader writer and a i want to create a connection and UI
that interacts with the device alone without using the default application and process.start command.
the main problem i want to be solve is to perform the connection and commands on a single form by allowing the user to read and write the data on a single form.
what i want to do is to create a main form that executes the commands needed to activate the event or allows the user to use the device w/o using the software. with the use of text box and button, while the read executes automatically if the card is swipe
to it end fill out the focus textbox given.
i have here a document that discuss commands for the device and i think it is needed to successfully connect all the process from device to the system
can you help me to do this project? tnx.. :)

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since each Magnetic Card Reader writer has its API for developers.
You could consider getting supports by connecting with the publisher of that Magnetic Card Reader writer which should have the sample about using its API.
In addition, I did a research, you could refer to
Build a .NET Class for Serial Device Communications with P/Invoke to get how to communicate with that serial device.
Thanks for your understanding.

Problem with Uploading files in Web applications with the iPad

Hello,
I have a question. How can I upload a word file in the gmx-Mailserver with my IPad? I can only find the picture library. In this library i cannot upload a word-file or other files-types. I use Safari. The same problem exists by other web applications.
Thanks for your help.
Kami2013

I think I just did something wrong myself. I was finally able to upload the file. However, I wrote the following procedure in my package but wasn't able to download the file from the report. Do I need to grant any privilege from the system user?
Also, does anyone know how to convert a BLOB table into 11g Securefiles table?
Thanks.
<pre>
procedure download_birth_cert(p_vrds_birth_cert_pk in number) is
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(4000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
begin
select mime_type, blob_content, file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content)
into v_mime, lob_loc, v_file_name, v_length
from vrds_birth_cert

-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE);
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download

URGENT: How to fix an application with the screen resolution?

HI everyone,
I am desprate and need help.. I have developed an application with Java swing and awt (JFrames, JPanels and...). This application displays perfectly with 1280 x 1024 screen resolution but in a situation where the screen does not support this resolution, a part of my application will not appear. I can not even scroll down to see the reste of the components. Does any one has any idea that how I can resolve this problem! I mean how either I can make my JFrame or panel to scroll down or to change the size of the components according to the resolution!
Thank you very much and wait for a reply :)

One of the possible reason of the problem is you must have hardcoded the size of panels and other container that is just right for the screen resolution 1280 x 1024.
The solution is set the size of the containers that depends on the resolution of the screen.
You have not explained much detail about the scrolling problem. But I suppose that you have a scrollpane in you GUI and you want to scroll the component inside it even at another resolution.
try using this
if p is the panel that is added in the scrollpane then set its prefered size.
p.setPreferredSize(resolution dependant size).

How to create a CD with the WinXP OS OEM?

Hi all,
Recently I bought a Tecra A7 that has WinXP OEM preinstaled. My question is: has Toshiba any tool to create WinXP CD? If not, why so and how can I do it cleanly? I want my PC to make tests and I probably have to format it in future!
Thank's
Pedro

Eldorado, thank's for your reply.
I can use ghost, yes, but I think I should not have to do it because it makes no sense! First, I bough a computer WITH the Operating System and I must assure that if something happens to my OS I can restore it, WHATEVER it happened; second, if I want to use Ghost, I have to get an unauthorized copy (because I don't have it) and I don't want to do it! As far as I know, the only thing that you can generate a CD copy is the Tools and Drivers CD.
Of course I could *make* the WinXp with the directories that exist in CD and some freeware. But I think I don't have to do it, it should be done. Do you understand what I mean?
I have the Restore CD, yes. And the short time I contact with it (only yesterday) I didn't see a way to create Win Xp image.
It was nice if someone from Toshiba answers my question.
Thank's.
Pedro

How to create a circle with the origin not at (0,0)

I want to create a circle but the origin is not at (0,0).
I have the following data;
- point coordinate (X1,Y1)
- radius of the circle
Also, I want to create a line between the origin and the point (X1,Y1).
Kindly show me how can I do this. Thank you very much.

The accuracy of the GPS Receiver is +/- 0.5 meter. Its a Novatel product (Flex Pak). I am getting the string data from the GPS receiver. I took the Longtitude data as for my X and Latitude data for my Y. I took the Longtitude and Latitude data from the center of post for my reference calculation only to get the true value of X and Y at the end of the boom. I call the X and Y value at the end of the boom as dynamic because it always give me the value wherever the boom goes. Please see the attached sample VI's.
At one point , I actually measured, using a tape measure, the distance from the end of the boom to the center of post and i am getting the correct radius. But when I rotate the boom on the other side it will give me a different radius. And looking at this radius value, while rotating the boom, I can judge that my point of origin is not (0,0).
At this point I have no idea how to get the correct origin. Kindly teach me if you have idea on this.
Do you think the way I calculated for the true value of X and Y is still correct? Is my reference too far?
Thank you very much.
