How to uninstall NI Distributed System Manager 2012?

Hi,
My PC started off with LabVIEW 2012 and related modules. After I installed LabVIEW 2013, I uninstalled all the 2012 software that I could find (that aren't dependencies of any 2013 software) through the "National Instruments Software" dialog. However, Distributed System Manager 2012 persists in my system, alongside DSM 2013. How can I remove DSM 2012?
Thanks!

Hi Ranjeet,
I don't remember seeing the installer upgrading my DSM, but I might have missed it.
After I installed LabVIEW 2013 and other newer software, I restarted my computer because the installer asked me to. After that, I used the National Instruments Software dialog to uninstall LabVIEW 2012 and other older software. Then, I restarted my computer again:
There were no error messages, but there are now two versions of DSM in my Start menu (you can see all the default icons placed by NI installers):
All the DSM files are still in my computer:
I can launch both versions. Their "About" boxes show that they are two different versions:
How do I uninstall DSM 2012?
Thanks!

  • CRIO Doesn't Show Up In The Distributed Systems Manager

    All,
     Any idea why my cRIO wouldn't show up in the distributed systems manager? I'm running Real Time 3.2.1 and I've already deployed my shared variables. I can see the cRIO through MAX and with my project just fine.
    - Ken 

    Hi Ken,
    I have a couple of questions/things we can try:
    1.  How are you connected to the cRIO? (Crossover, switch, router with DHCP)
    2.  Are you able to manually add the cRIO by IP Address to My Systems?  (Right-click My systems, select Add Systems..., type in the IP Address and select OK.)
    3.  Are the shared variables hosted on the cRIO?  If not, do you see the Shared Variables in the Distributed System Manager?
    4.  Try enabling CPU Load Monitoring through the cRIO Target Properties in the LabVIEW Project (Right-click cRIO, select Properties, go to Miscellaneous and check Enable CPU Load Monitoring, deploy the settings and reboot the cRIO).
    5.  If you already had Distributed System Manager, does pressing F5 to refresh help? 
    Finally, I would like to know what version of Distributed System Manager/LabVIEW you are using.

  • Distributed System Manager SysMan ACL.acl

    I've managed to lock myself out of the Distributed System Manager. 
    The help file http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372572A-01/sysman/ni_acl_db/ says to reset security settings remove the SysMan ACL.acl file from the default LabVIEW Data directory.  I cant find it
    I've completed a search on my hard drive and found no file with an .acl extension
     I was logging in and out trying to get the Shared Variable Engine operating correctly and for some reason I decided it would be a good idea to add a new host.  A message along the lines of "Changing this setting will no longer allow (Nobody) to log in"  It was a Friday afternoon and I presumed that as it was trying to log in with the User (Nobody), this was why my Shared Variable Engine would not connect to my OPC Server
    Now the host name I changed it to does not work.  It says the user is invalid.
    Any ideas how to reset the host settings so I can at least get in?
    Alan

    Hi Tony
    Thanks for your help
    See attached I went to Actions>ConfigureSecurity>then selected add New User/Host
    Then checked configure new host and typed in the username of the PC.
    Not the cleverest thing Ive done recently

  • RT Target Resources and Distributed System Manager

    Hello all,
    Does anyone know of some potential reasons why an RT target might not publish its CPU and memory usage?  This particular target is a cFP-2200 running a complete installation of FieldPoint 6.0.2 (RT 8.6) including System State Publisher.  For some reason I can't view the memory usage on this target and I haven't been able to figure it out.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

    Hello Hillman,
    Thanks for your reply!  I sort of
    figured that this one would go by the wayside and not be answered. 
    Actually, I'm not using RTSM; I'm using the Distributed System Manager
    - It's a relatively new tool that ships with LabVIEW RT 8.6.  In my
    humble opinion, I find it to be much superior to the RT System Manager
    in its own way.  The only downside, really, is that you can't log with
    it natively, but there are ways around that.
    You've
    got some great suggestions.  I definitely was using the correct IP, I
    could target it with LabVIEW because I loaded my application on there,
    and I didn't get any boot errors when I connected.  You're absolutely
    right, too, that the CPU is always maxed out at 100%.
    I
    guess I was perplexed because, one moment I could see the resources in
    DSM (is that acronym valid yet?), and after I reloaded the software
    from scratch, I could see lots of variables on the target, but for some
    reason the system resources weren't showing up.  After no one jumped on
    the question, I went back to tweaking various settings and realized
    that I hadn't rebooted after enabling VI Server.  In fact, I didn't
    think that VI Server would be the issue and hadn't really thought of
    checking there.  My reasoning followed that, if all of the other
    variables showed up, surely it wouldn't be VI Server, but that fixed it.
    I definitely appreciate your getting back to me, though.
    Cheers,
     Jim

  • Shared variables missing in distributed system manager

    I have multiple shared variables in a library (.lvlib).  These are all network-published shared variables.  I can see the library in Distributed System Manager but not the variables in the library.  When I look at the properties page in Share Variables Properties Dialog, aliasing is not enabled because the library is hosted on the same machine as the application. 
    I tried to run the Shared Variable Monitor application but was given a Runtime Error for TagMonitor.exe; "This application requested Runtime termination in an unusual way.  Contact application support team."
    I also tried undeploying and deploying the library as suggesting by KB 56PCQ3RR.
    Why does Distributed System Manager see the shared variable library but not the shared variables in it?

    Hello faustina,
    Has there been any software or hardware changes on the application since the error occurred? Also I would recommend to format and reinstall the software on your Real-Time target, after this you can follow Matt’s recommendation to test this behavior with a new project and single shared variable.
    Regards

  • OPC server trouble seeing tags in NI Distributed System Manager

    I have created my own OPC server for simulation purposes.  If I create an I/O server and select my OPC server I can then "create bound variable" in which I can browse my OPC tags which are all in there.  I use another program which makes use of property nodes to acquire a list of paths to these tags.  The list is empty.  I noticed that when I run the "NI Distributed System Manager" I can see the I/O Server but the sub tree doesn't show my tags.  If I got them to show up in "NI DSM" then I could get a list of tag paths.  Does anyone know why my tags would show up in the "created bound variable" window and not the "NI DSM" window?  I have tried deploying the library that the I/O server is in but this doesn't work.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Thanks for the reply Charris,
    I have two OPC servers.  One is the simulator and one that I connect to at a remote location which required some OPC client software (some service in windows registry which I am not familiar with). All I know is that I can browse all tags on the remote OPC server by first creating an I/O server (yes I use OPC client) and selecting "create bound variables".  Before I bind any shared variables to OPC tags I can go into DSM and see all the tags that are not yet shared variables.
    When I try doing this with the simulator, I first create the I/O server before I can browse all the tags in "create bound variables".  But this time when I go to the DSM, they are not listed under the I/O server.  This is just an observation.
    My real problem is that I use this piece of code found on the NI website to get a list of tags (URLs).  This code works with the remote OPC server but not with the simulator.
    I don't really understand the code.  All I know is that if I input the name of the library and the name of the I/O server as well as the path to the PC, it brings back a list of URLs pointing to tags.  Maybe there is something in this VI you can help with.
    Thanks
    Matt

  • CompactRIO distributed system manager.

    We are using CompactRIO and would like to access each module and monitor the I/O values using distributed system manager.
    When using Scan engine mode we were able to see the modules. Now are we are using FPGA mode and cannot see the modules.
    Is there a way to use distributed system manager to access the modules using FPGA mode ?

    blindbrooks,
    Unfortunately, this is not possible, due to the way Scan Mode and FPGA Mode work.  Scan Mode is a precompiled bitfile that accesses each channel of a module in the chassis, and then publishes the values to the RT target, where they are hosted in a special Shared Variable called an I/O Variable.  This is why you are able to automatically see each of the channels in Distributed System Manager (DSM).  However, in FPGA mode, this is not the case, as you are creating your own bitfiles, and not explicitly setting the values into Shared Variables.
    If you do want to see values from your modules in DSM, you can manually publish your data to a network-published Shared Variable, which would then appear in DSM.  This article goes a bit more in depth into shared variables:

    How to Uninstall Yosemite?  System does not allow Erase the HD, nor does it allow re-install of original O/S Disc (10.6.7).  I want Mavericks or even Lion Back.   Thanks.

    Start with reinstalling Snow Leopard:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 Access the App Store to download Mountain Lion or Yosemite. Mavericks is no longer available since the release of Yosemite. If you purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store, then you can redownload it via your Purchases page in App Store. If not, then you will need to purchase it from Apple;
    Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • How to uninstall Hp ProtectTools Security Manager?

    I want to install Windows 10 but for that it shows that I need to uninstall all the Hp softwares like ProtectTools etc. Anyway so how am I supposed to do that? Cause I tried doing that from Add/Remove Hardwares and it says to uninstall the rest of the applications and I can't find that. So any help how to do that? Thank you. 

    Hello @HEIRSON ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, click on start, control panel, go to programs and features. Uninstall programs from there.
    Thanks.

  • Labview 2011: Distributed System Manager does not load variables in process

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems with the DSM of Labview 2011.
    My application consists of a main VI.
    There will be loaded a sub VI in this main VI, which subVI will be loaded depends on the button that is pressed.
    The problem that I have is the following(the problem comes up on a Windows 7 system, on Windows XP system everything works well):
    - When I open a subVI, it will be opened in mij DSM, but it takes a while before it is visible, not immediately but after a while.
    - Normally, when I open the process(in the DSM) of the subVI, the variables that are present in the subVI, should be visible.
    - In this case, non of the variables is visible.
    Is it possible that there is something wrong with the DSM?
    Or do I have to make some changes to my settings on the computer?
    The firewall is off and the DCOM settings are ok.
    I hope someone can help me.
    With kind regards,
    Cheese

    I observed a similar behaviour in case I changed my configuration during development: the variables were not changed accordingly, from time to time.
    The most effective corrective actions was to manually stop and restart the NI Variable Engine service.
    Surprisingly, restarting the PC was uneffective.

  • Distribute​d System Manager trend y-axis scale

  • How do i get rid of old files previously networked to Distributed Sytem Manager so as to create a new network file, all files have been deleted off my laptop already?

    6 old network files keep showing up in Labview even though they have been deleted from both labview and removed from my laptop. Why does labview insist on keeping them in this history as now it will not allow me to network a new file
    All help appreciated.

    Got this issue resolved, basicaly what was happening was in the distributed system manager old copys of libraries which I had created previously and deleted kept showing up in my networked items and i could not delete them, what i had to do was to stop process and remove process on any that were showing up then reboot my laptop and this deleted them off the system altogether, this was time consuming for me as I had a load of old libraries to delete before i could network my new library. Eventually got it working after my laptop reboots.

  • Config Manager 2012 not working on Windows 7

    I have built the package based on the basic guidence in this article. blogs.technet.com/b/appv/archive/2013/01/08/ how-to-sequence-the-microsoft-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-admin-console-with-microsoft-app-v.aspx
    My problem is that this package works great on windows 8 and 2008r2 rds. It just won't launch on windows 7. It looks like it is trying to but the screen never appears. it does show it as being running in the task manager but it never shows on the screen.
    Has anyone seen this issue and if so what can i do to resolve. I am not seeing any errors in the event logs either. I tried running a procmon and saw nothing standing out as the culprit. all the prereqs are installed.
