How to kill a running VI?

Hi All,
I was looking through the examples provided by NI for Labview 8. I opened the example called "Simple case structure.vi" and executed it.
Once I selected a negative number, a popup came on and it said "Error, Negative number". The problem is that I keep pressing OK and the message just comes back again and I have no way of changing the input value.
 To correct this example, I would suggest that once a negative value is introduced, the program should reset the input box to 0.
My question is how can I stop this task from within Labview? I tried Ctrl + . and many other variations, but none allowed me to stop the execution. I preffer not to kill the whole Labview from within Windows.
Regards,
Nick

Usually when I have a VI I cannot stop due to an error I coded in the VI the vi has a menu I created. (RTM file)
To get around this, I exit the app with Task Manager. This allows me to get a pop-up that offers an option to save my work. (LV 6.1)
Once out, I rename the RTM file so the program cannot find it. A default menu appears next time I run the program. CTRL . now works. I can go in and fix the errors of my ways. Then I exit and save.
Of course I have to rename the RTM file back to allow LV to see it on next running.
This has save me on several occasions.
These event structures will be the death of me.....
I hope this helps any other programmers that feel stuck when CTRL . does not appear to work.

  • How to kill a running BPEL instance

    Hi,
    I have started executing a BPEL process. If this BPEL process has an infinite loop or ( reading a large number of records) then it may take more time to execute. Mean while, if I want to terminate this process, then how can I terminate from the BPEL console? Or any other interface, if one is available.
    I hope choosing the retired and off options for that BPEl process will not stop the running process. So I need your help to find out if there is any more other ways.
    Thanks,
    Khaleel

    Hi,
    Could you givem the update statement? What need to be changed. If you have any document on the BPEL dehyderation databse structure and purpose and etc information, it will be a great help.

    On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    Double tap the home button.  Slide the preview window upward.  You can do 2 at a time.
    It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps).  The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources.  The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.

  • Does win8/8.1/10 kill long-running programs automatically as stated in specs? reasons why?

    does win8/8.1/10 kill/end-task long-running programs automatically as stated in specs? how specifically does it detect a locked-up process?
    has this been put into windows 7 at any time to make it similar to windows 8?
    Please supply accurate answers. thank you.
    My understanding the reason for this change was to handle locked-up programs.
    I do have a number of long-running processes. some examples of mine and scenarios for other users:
    simulations on a Workstation or HPC Server
    doing a directory tree walk on a hard disk with >=1TB of data
    reference articles I have found on the subject:
    windows 7
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/exit-program-not-responding#1TC=windows-7
    windows 8
    From some of what I understand, you can also get the "Program Not Responding" or similarly titled dialog box when:
    bug in the source code of the program in question. for instance, while(1){} such as forever loops (win7)
    similar program bug when declaring a function one way but defining it a different way and then calling it (mismatch in function signature) (win7)
    similar to above with DLLs in using MSVCRT*.DLL or other
    (?) can't remember for sure on this, but I think some badly formed calls or it was invalid values or data type mismatch to Win32 API can do this from buggy code. (win7)
    for (x=0; x < 16777216; x++) {your code here...} in other words, large values for loop termination (win7)
    this is a repost of http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/does-win88110-kill-long-running-programs/d35c3c9e-c6f4-4bbf-846a-2041bf2167a0?tm=1427518759476
    here due to a request to do so.

    Hi Jim,
    First, I have to admit that I'm not fully understanding the question, If a program is not responding, it means the program is interacting more slowly than usual with Windows, typically could be a confliction of software or hardware resources between
    two programs, lack of system resources, or a bug in the software or drivers. In that case, we can choose to wait or end the program. This design is similiar in Windows 7, Windows 8 and other OS.
    For deeper analysis, system determines whether the system considers that a specified application is not responding using a "IsHungAppWindow function",

    And this link also give some explanation: Preventing Hangs in Windows Applicationshttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd744765%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    Q.1 Different Method for Kernel Upgradation
    So far till now, I have known only one method for Kernel upgradation which is very very simple. I dont think we need any other work-around for Kernel upgrade as this method is very very straight forward. The steps to be followed are ---
    Go to the SAP OSS Site :- 
    http://service.sap.com/SWCenter-Main
    From here Download the kernel programs in a temporary folder or use Download Basket toi download the Kernel.
    Now shutdown the R/3 database and all services including saposcol. 
    Create a folder and copy the original executables from  /exe/run/ directory then uncar the downloaded files and replace the original executables in /exe/run/ directory. 
    Then restart your system. 
    A couple of important points to remember are :-.
    a) Always make a copy of the files you're going to replace. For e.g. Create a directory (oldkern) and copy all the old files before replacing them (this helps when sometimes the new Kernel has problems, and you can revert it)
    b) You have to shutdown SAP and the Database using the OLD kernel file. Again it is good practice to shutdown everything first.

  • How to Kill a Stored Procedure?

    Sombody knows how to kill a stored procedure from another stored peocedure?
    I wanna know if exists a way to use therads in sored procedures.
    Best Regards

    1) You can't. Unless you code a mechanism yourself, but then since
    you can't thread Procedure calls that wouldn't help much.
    2) You can try using DBMS_JOB, if your not in a hurry to have your procedure finish.
    This is PL/SQL, not Java. You have to imagine all you get is a single thread running
    static methods. You can get away from everything being static by using the CREATE TYPE
    OBJECT stuff. but that doesn't help you thread your processes.
    I hope someone else can give you a different answer,

  • Share how you keep Skype running

    I thought that it would be helpful for a lot of people if there was a thread written with the sole purpose of depicting ways to address Skype run-time issues, like how to keep Skype running despite its tendency to crash without having to manually restart it. 
    So, for the most part, try to only post comments--by comments I mean posts, I just didn't want to be redundant and say 'post posts'--that address some specific thing that you were trying to get Skype to do like
    Webcam support
    Sound Server support
    or V4Linux support (if that's not exactly the same thing as webcam support)
    and how you were able to get Skype to do it.  Please, do not post answers to unresolved, or otherwise partially fixed support, problems.  This is a place to share helpful, useful, and (at least mostly) automatic scripted workarounds.  The scripts can be in any programming language, not just scripting ones, although scripting ones are best suited for this kind of thing. 
    As to what I mean by 'partially fixed problems': I'm talking about problems that still require user intervention in order to keep the problem-fixing-script going.  Like, every time the script finishes running, you have to manually restart it.  This is different from a mostly automatic script that has to be started by the user (as opposed to being started by the system at start-up or when X is initiated), but that once started continues to run until the user forcibly terminates it.  Like 'killall -s KILL myscript.sh', for example. 
    I'll start off by posting a script that I use to handle a webcam support problem that I have with Skype.
    (Note, this is my first attempt at a really big thread/post, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed because doing something like this is rather intimidating for me, a forum-newbie.  )

    I'm still using the beta version of Skype, that is version 2.2.0.35; it crashes every now and again because I have to run it with a v4l preload--its crashes seem to have a domino effect on itself, in that if it crashes once then it's twice as likely to immediately crash again.  So here's my little workaround that keeps Skype going; I hope that somebody will find it useful or will have some suggestions for how I can make it run better. 
    ## ensur.sh -- ENsure Skype continUes Running ##
    ## an answer to the continual crashes brought on by loading skype as 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype &' ##
    ## Coded by DeFfunc't95 ##
    #clear
    echo
    echo
    echo "IS SKYPE RUNNING"
    if top -n2 | grep "skype" ; then
    echo "";
    echo " [T]";
    echo "EXITING NOW...";
    echo ;
    echo ;
    exit ;
    else echo ;
    echo " [F]";
    echo ;
    echo "STARTING UP SKYPE WITH PRELOAD" ; # the preload is necessary in order
    ## for webcam support to be enabled, or so it seems.
    echo ;
    echo ;
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib34/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype ;
    # This mapping will need to be changed according to where ensur.sh
    #>> actually is.
    sh ~/:B/ensur.sh ; # the mapping
    fi
    My script works extremely well, most of the time.  Whenever Skype crashes because of a preload error, it just starts Skype right back up again.    However, it isn't so great at being able to tell the difference between when Skype is actually running and when it isn't.  In fact, 9 times out of 10, if Skype is already running and I start up my little 'ensur-skype' script: my script will start Skype up anyhow regardless of whether Skype is already running or not.  And I think it's because of my usage of
    if top -n2 | grep "Skype" ; then ...
      When I actually just run 'top -n2 | grep "skype"' in the terminal, it rarely actually manages to grep Skype from top, but I really don't know of any other way to determine whether Skype is already running.  Any suggestions as to how to check for a Skype run-time without risking the possibility of starting two instances of Skype in the process?

  • How to cancel an running load

    Hi Gurus,
         I wanted to know how to cancel an running load..is it to change the status into red n deleted it from the cube..??
       once i did it like this in my system but after sometime the laod again automatically converted into green n continue its loading..
    can anyone tell me on how to cancel an running load...
    waiting for reply
    Ravi

    Hi,
    First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
    You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
    The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
    Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
    But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.
    Thanks,

  • How to kill EPMA Deployment

    Hi,
    I have EPMA 11.1.1.3 and after making some changes in account and location dimensions i started deploying the app.It was initialed at around 6pm..i informed by client that it usaully takes aroung 6 and half hours to complete the deployment but after 8 hours i checked the Job its still it was going on and it might have hung up at 6%..Main thing all the changes have been reflectd in Hyperion Planning...So my question is how to kill this job running on?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pranav

    So my question is how to kill this job running on?^^^I thought I was going to hear "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" EPMA can be Alien-like.
    it usaully takes aroung 6 and half hours to complete the deployment but after 8 hours ^^^Really? That's amazing. I suspect you are forcing a dense restructure this time so that might be part of the issue. Has the Essbase restructure happened yet?
    I would be unbelievably suspicious/completely unaccepting of any metadata build that took 6 hours. There has to be a better way.

    The reason why i has concern is my bat life is shorter when these 3 processes are running. It used to has this, so i restore to factory mode. then after awhile, these came back.
