HTML report generation

How can I set permissions on an HTML / tab-delimited file such that only the creator can write to it and everyone else has read-only permissions?

Html report generation save to same VI folder

Hi all,
Im creating a sample html report using labview6.1. my question is i want to save my report html file to the current directory where the vi is located instead of giving some path like " C:\Folder1\Folder2\..." etc . My intention is to put the VI in a zip file so that i can send it to my friend and when he runs it its easy to locate the report since VI and report are in same directory..
Any methods to do so??
Steve.

HTML Report Problem

Hello,Who can help me to check out the problem in my VI.The graph won't be shown after generate.

HTML Report Generation.vi ‏56 KB

I had no problem running this VI. Since I didn't have the VI you are using with Append Front Panel Image to Report (your VI is called X crossing3.vi), I used my own VI with a chart on its panel...when I generated the report, it came out fine. Do you have the X crossing3.vi open when you run the HTML Report Generation.vi? Since you are using the VI name as a string (as opposed to a path), the VI must be open when you run the report generation VI, otherwise no front panel will be appended. If your X crossing3.vi is not open for whatever reason, you can wire a path to Append Front Panel Image to Report instead of a string.
I hope this makes sense. If you're still having trouble, please attach any additional VIs to your response that I would need to reproduce the problem. Also, give me the exact steps to what you're doing, and the resulting problem you're seeing.
Good luck,

Report Generation Toolkit Print HTML Problem

Hi,
i have a problem printing a html Page at a Costumers PC with the Report Generation Toolkit.
I use LV 2012 and the Report Generation Toolkit in 32Bit Mode.
The Target is a Win7 64Bit Machine with IE10 of our Customer with very strong security rules.
Our Programm generates a HTML Repor which is saved without any problem.
When i then try to print it with Print Report.vi it doesent work and i get error1 out of the SubVi NI_ReportGenerationCore.lvlibrint HTML Report using IE.vi.
This Sub.vi simply cant open the HTML Page with the IE.
I think its the costumers Security Rules that cause the Problem.
I saw a very strange behavior of the IE.
When i double click the .html file the IE gets opened and displays the file properly.
When i then hit the reload button it also gets reloaded.
When i click in the browsers adress bar and hit enter (Which normaly does a reload) i get an error "Adress Bar, Adresse, access denied".
And i think that happens in the Sub.vi.
I talked to some friends an they sad it could be that double clicking and reloding is done with the local user an the clicking and hitting enter reload is maybe the systemuser.
So i asume that the Sub.vi is also using the systemuser.
How can i determin which user is used to execute a vi?
Can i influence the user?
Has anybody a solution and seen this problem?
Regards,
westgate

If I understand your situation correctly, you are able to use the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit to create an HTML report, which you save as an HTML file. Can you open it in a browser and print it using the browser's Print button? I've use LabVIEW to generate HTML reports, but have never tried to print the Reports in LabVIEW -- I've always used the "browser route", myself.

How do I save a Report to file using Report Generation vi's?(not HTML)

Hi,
Sorry about re-stating the problem. I am using the Report Generation vi's to create a report. There is an option to save HTML reports to file, however I must use Standard Report because I need to print in Landscape mode. HTML reports will not print in Landscape. One of the requirements is to save the report to file on the hard disk. I have tried to use the standard Open File and Write File vi's. A file is created, but the report is not saved into the file. How do I connect a report so that it will be saved in the file? I already tried simply wiring the report refnum into the data input of the Write File vi.
I have attached an example of my code.
I am using V7.1 Full Version. I have V8 available if that is any help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

I did find this KB: How to Save Standard Reports?
Attached is an example of how to do this. You will have to relink the subVI's or else you will have a broken arrow. One is in LV7 and the other is in LV8

Difference in the appearance of HTML vs. Standard reports generated with the Report Generation VIs?

When I generate a "Standard Report" (to a printer or PDF) with the attached code, the output looks like this:
If I instead use the same code to generate an HTML report, the output looks like this:
Can anyone explain why the HTML output has had the extra spaces stripped out of it?
Is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening?
VI is attached (LV v11.0.1f2) but this is what it looks like...

If you look at your html source the spaces are there. The problem is the way html is rendered it removes the spaces. You will either need to add in <pre> </pre> tags to tell the browser to include those spaces, or insert the string   which the browser interprets as a single space.

OK, thanks. I guess I'll end up living with it the way that it is because
using either method seems to also have the side effect of causing the output to become double-spaced and
the only reasonable place to implement the change (so that it did not also impact the "standard report" output) would be within the report generation VIs and I'd rather not be modifying them.

What is the mean of standard and HTML in report generation?

Report Generation task error

I'm using report generation VI's to generate my report (standard report). If I make an application at my development PC (LV 6.0.2 Win-NT 4.0 SP6; application builder 6) and start the EXE-file, there are no problems. I transfer the software (installer) to the target PC (Win-NT 4.0 SP6; run time engine 6.0.2) and start the print subroutine in my program. When I leave the application I have still the LV-Task in the Win-NT task list. I have to start the task manager to stop it. It happens only if I use the print subroutine ( with the report generation VI's) in my program. I made a test with the same subroutine but switched to html output, the task list is emty after leaving the program. Do you have any idea?

try re-compiling the report generation vi's (ctrl+alt+run button) then re-create your exe.

Print HTML Report.vi doesn't scale properly.

LV 8.5.1, Report Generation Toolkit, XP. Our application uses the Print HTML Report.vi to print an HTML report.
We found that on some installations the resulting page does not scale properly. Instead of being one page wide,
the printout is about 1.5 pages wide (and proportionately longer), leading to our report being truncated.
Tried different printers, different print drivers, no difference.
Finally we noticed that the affected computers all had Internet Explorer 6 installed. Updating to Internet
Explorer 7 fixed the problem. Don't know about IE8, I expect that will work as well.
Hopefully this will help someone else who runs across this problem. I couldn't find any reference to
an IE > 6 dependency in the Report Generation Toolkit readme system requirement.

Hi Charlie,
The layout option is not wired to anything in the Standard, HTML, Excel and Word Report, but it is used in the Quick Print default case. The Help document for this VI mentions that the layout option is ignored on Standard and HTML Reports but does not mention the Excel or Word Reports.
This was discovered a little while ago in this discussion forum. And a report has be filed to R&D by Ben.

I'd like to fill the cells of the table with Hypertext links to various documents. I can't see any vi's in the toolkit that do this Can someone please suggest where I should be looking, or the best approach to this problem?

Report Generation Help

First, thanks for reading this.
Secondly, I need help in creating a PL/SQL report which will be the datasource for a Crystal Reports template. I need to create a login report based on 3 tables holding user data, (login_table, user_table, user_region_table). I have no problem creating the SQL to show the users by region logging into the system for any given month based on the 3 above tables.
What I need help with is using "connect by" and "group by" to faciliate how the report is viewed.
login_table holds user_id and date they logged into system
user_table holds user_id and region_id data
user_region_table holds region_name
SELECT MonthYear, region_name, Visits
FROM (
SELECT
TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (lg.login_time, 'dd-Mon-yy'), 'Month yyyy') AS MonthYear,
r.region_name,
r.region_id,
r.parent_id,
COUNT (*) Logins
FROM logging lg
INNER JOIN users u ON (u.user_id = ipl.user_id)
INNER JOIN region r ON (r.region_id = u.region_id)
WHERE lg.login_time BETWEEN TO_DATE ('10/01/2010 00:00:00', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND TO_DATE ('09/30/2011 23:59:59', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
AND r.region_id NOT IN (0, -1)
GROUP BY r.region_name,
r.region_id,
r.parent_id,
TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (lg.login_time, 'dd-Mon-yy'), 'Month yyyy')
ORDER BY TO_DATE(MonthYear, 'Month yyyy') DESC, r.parent_id, r.region_name
This correctly displays the data I need, but I need it shown like:
Date Region_Name Logins
Oct 2011 Master Region Name 1 #
Sub Region Name #
Sub Region Name #
Master Region Name 2 #
Sub Region Name #
Sub Region Name #
Sept 2011 Master Region Name 1 #
Sub Region Name #
Sub Region Name #
Master Region Name 2 #
Sub Region Name #
Sub Region Name #
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you have the report generation kit installed
then just search examples in labview help.
Attached vi is from example ( NB all sub vi are in NI labview .llb)
IF RGK is not installed then can't run, vi terminal will default to either Report or HTML you will not have opportunity to
select word or excel format.

-1073741819 code using Report Generation with LV 6.1

I'm studing about the Report Generation Functions with LV 6.1, and I'm trying to run some example about it, but the programs sends the next error: "Error -1073741819 ocurred at unknown System error in Font Style.vi> Set report font.vi>Easy text report.vi
>. I'm using Windows XP plataform.
someone knows what can I do?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you already know this but the font settings is a cluster of 4 elements: 2 integers and 2 strings. The 2 integers are character set and weight. They default to -1. The two strings are font name and font size. The default to blank strings. Are you wiring this cluster into your font settings terminal? Do you have -1, -1, Arial, and a number for font size inside the cluster (I use 4 for HTML reports)?

Report Generation Toolkit failure with Win 7 and Labview 2013

I recently had my computer updated to Windows 7 and am now seeing a problem with the Report Generation toolkit (version 2013) when working with Excel files. If I try to run the New Report.vi with report type Excel selected I get error -2146777998. Doing the same thing with Word selected eventually opens Word, although this takes about ten seconds, but it does not generate an error. Selecting Standard Report or HTML also run without errors.
I've researched this error on line but I keep ending up .NET and C# forums where everything goes over my head. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution to this particular source of error code -2146777998. There are two template files that reside in C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\templates\Report by the name of MSOffice_RGT_Template.dot and MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt. The problem came down to that these templates got corrupted somehow during the fresh install. As soon as I replaced them with versions from another machine the problem disappeared.
Just as a side note, I discovered the problem by kicking off the MS Office Report Express vi and out came a much clearer message that aimed me at the templates. Not quite sure why that message isn't echoed into the individual subvi's on the pallette, but life is a mystery.
