In search, path to message missing??????????

Hi All;
Just tried my first search under the new format and discovered that the path to the message is no longer shown.
For me I think this is a big problem because I usually used the path to the message to help determine if I wanted to read the message or not. For instance, if you do a search on "Norton" and you do not wish to look at the problems of the poor souls on a Windoze platfrom, the path would very quickly show you which messages to avoid.

Hi Eme;
I was tired of seeing the unanswered question on my home page without any responce so I marked off as no one cares for lack of anything better.
I know for a fact that this is one of the point I like the least about the new forum.

Lldb equivalent of gdb "directory" command for specifying source search path?

Looking for the lldb equivalent of the gdb "directory" command to add search paths for finding missing source code files (due to moved directories). Or possibly similar functionality within xcode...
Thanks in advance!

Great, thanks for the pointer although according to the lldb console the "add" command needs a "substitution pair" argument and the "Insert" command needs a new "image search path" and the "target modules list" command only gives a list of dylib modules. I played around a bit and the construction resembles more of a dylib module search path .i.e it looks like you only can revert the module search path but not separate it from the source path.
It would be nice to find out more details about different search-path capabilities within lldb. You don't happen to know where to find more thorough LLDB manuals or other useful documentation besides the "LLDB to GDB Command Map" (http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html) and the "LLDB Tutorial" (lldb.llvm.org/tutorial.html), do you? Also, any idea where to find the official doc pages for lldb. Unfortunately "http://lldb.llvm.org/docs.html" is still empty and I didn't find anything useful in the llvm github.

Office 2013 with Service Pack 1 installation error about "search path"

I have an automated installation technique that has worked fine with Office 2010 Pro Plus (32-bit), incorporating the latest Service Pack into the network administrative installation point (under \updates), adding 10 foreign languages to the network administrative
installation point, creating a custom .msp with the OCT (that goes into \updates too), editing the config.xml files, and then running setup.exe from that network administrative installation point. This works on 32-bit Windows XP clients and on 32- and 64-bit
Windows 7 clients.
For Office 2013 Pro Plus, I have built the network administrative installation point exactly the same way (original DVD files + languages + SP1 updates + config.xml updates), but the installation is failing with every type of client, all with
the same error message. The network administrative installation point is readable by the normal installing account, but I even get the same error when I login as me and initiate setup.exe manually, and I have all rights to this point.
Here's the critical point from a log file:

I cannot find any references to this exact error anywhere on the Internet. Can anyone tell me what this means, and how I fix it?

As automated, the utility that runs setup.exe maps a drive letter to
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt using a kboxmap AD account, which has read access to the whole \KBOXalt tree. I used that same kboxmap AD account manually to simulate what the utility does, and hit the same problem. But here's what's
odd: right next to that
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2013 directory is an
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2010 directory, both created the same way, and the Office 2010 installation has always worked perfectly using the kboxmap AD account. I don't understand why Office 2013 is only working for an account with
read/write access, where Office 2010 worked fine for an account with only read access. Especially when the Office 2013 resource kit documentation clearly states that the account running the installation should only have read access, nothing more. (All this
KBOX stuff comes from the fact that our deployment environment is a Dell KACE KBOX 1000. However, that plays no part in the problem: ignoring the KBOX 1000, I can manually recreate the problem every time.)

Group Tree: Error in Ajax response - message: missing } in XML expression

Hi,
We were using a previous version of Crystal libs and viewer. I wanted to get up to date with the latest jars and viewer so I downloaded and installed the version with Eclipse 3.4.1 and crystal development bundled together.
I've copied the new jars from there into my existing project. I've also copied the folder cyrstalreportviewers into the project. We're using Tomcat 6.
I've now got a problem with the Group Tree at the moment since I started using the latest libraries and crystal report viewers.
My web.xml looks like this.
        <context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
          <param-value>/crystalreportviewers</param-value>

          <servlet-class>

     </servlet>
       <servlet-mapping id="CrystalReportViewerServletMapping">
          <servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/CrystalReportViewerHandler</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
A request to the uri https://......../WebApp/CrystalReportViewerHandler?id=3
The servlet doesn't do anything that seems to be uncommon. I can post more precisely what it does if needed.
The report will load correctly, I don't get an error page asking if my crystalreportviewers/ path is accessable to the server.
I get a parameter page asking for a value. I enter that and click OK.
The viewer sends a POST request to my Servlet and is handled correctly.
The report is then loaded.
On the click of an item in the Group Tree it sends an Ajax POST request and I then get the following error:
message: missing } in XML expression

Clicking on the Groups headers on the right hand pane work as expected. Although I notice they are not Ajax requests.
I've spent a few days at this now and I feel like I'm running out of options but to revert back to the previous version we were using. I presume this works elsewhere so I've got to be doing something incorrectly with my setup.
If anyone needs more info then please ask.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Ted,
Thanks for your reply.
That's our own Servlet. It extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
doGet does the following stuff:
Creates a ReportClientDocument.
Sets the ReportAppServer to "inproc:jrc".
Opens the report as read only.
Gets the DBController and calls logon on it.
Then calls replaceConnection.
Adds some discrete param values.
Creates a CrystalReportViewer.
gets the report source from the report client document.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
sets the report source in the session.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
doPost:
gets the report source from the session.
creates a CrystalReportViewer.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
One thing I changed in there was the way the data source was changed. It used to loop through tables.
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
newTable.setQualifiedName(qualifiedName);
clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
Now it does this:
DatabaseController dbController = clientDoc.getDatabaseController();
dbController.logon(username, password);
dbController.replaceConnection(new ConnectionInfo(), connectionInfo, null, DBOptions._useDefault);
If you need more info please do let me know. Thanks for your help.

TestStand 4.1.1 vi search path

    This is so low-level I'm almost embarassed to ask. I'm using TestStand 4.1.1 over LabView 8.6, both of which are licensed as full development systems.
In order for our organization to make better use of (non-NI or Labview) source control, we've created a common directory structure for several developers over several large TestStand/LabView projects. This includes areas for "common VIs" that are reused across projects. So I'm in the process of migrating a rather complex project into a new directory structure. The sequences and VIs in question were working perfectly under TestStand 4.0/LabView 8.5 prior to this attempted migration.
   My test sequences (and sub-sequences) can't seem to find needed VIs, even though they exist in directories that are included in the search paths I configured. (An annoying sub-problem is that TestStand appears to "hang" while the LabView interface underneath the TestStand window is prompting for a VI's location. I have to click the LabView item in the Windows menu bar to get LabView "on top" and see what the problem is.)
   I've already added several paths to both the LabView and TestStand VI search paths, and I've even checked the "search subdirectories" box, but the items are not being found. It's going to take weeks to lead TestStand and LabView by the nose to find all this stuff.
   I can't believe this would really be a bug. I tried searching the forums for an answer and had no luck. I can't be the first one with such a problem, so help me out with some search terms so I don't have to clutter the forum with such basic stuff. Thanks.
-M

trosier, Neurotika,
It appears as if LabVIEW is having trouble finding your VIs, not TestStand. When TestStand loads the VI you have designated as a code module into memory, if you have the LabVIEW development environment designated in the LabVIEW adapter settings, we tell LabVIEW to load the VI via its ActiveX interface.
If TestStand is unable to find the top-level VI, you will see a dialog like this:
If LabVIEW is unable to find a sub-VI, you will see a dialog like this:
Notice that the TestStand dialog has an additional checkbox at the bottom that allows you to select an absolute path. Also notice that TestStand specifies what file its looking for in the Files of Type box while LabVIEW allows you to choose All LabVIEW Files. Which dialog are you seeing?
Another way to test this is to try to open one of your VIs from disk (by double-clicking on it). If you get a Searching for SubVIs dialog, then it is LabVIEW that can not find the dependencies.
Or if you open the specify module pane of the sequence editor, if TestStand cannot find the top-level VI, you will see a file not found warning like this:
If TestStand can find the file, but LabVIEW cannot find a sub-VI, then you will not get a warning or error until the VI is loaded.
The reason that this matters is that TestStand and LabVIEW do not share their search directory lists. If you have moved files, you will need to know which application cannot find its files.

On one of my Macs shift-command-f brings a search box that is missing the "To, From, CC, or BCC" option. How can this be fixed?

I run Thunderbird on ~5 Macs and PCs. I am old fashioned and use the brute force search option which you get by edit->find->find messages or option-command-f on a Mac. On one of my Macs a number of the search field options are missing. In particular the "From, To, CC, or BCC" option is missing. I have looked carefully on the Thunderbird support pages, the web, and in the config editor and have not be able to fix this. Any hints on how to restore these missing search fields would be appreciated.

This is a user forum I feel you need to deal with Adobe customer services or support chat did not work in you case.

Lately, i received "search setting notification" message popup on starting Firefox 3.6.10. I manually changed my search to Bing. But after closing all firefox windows, it was changed to Yahoo and that notification message.

I am referring to the Search Bar on the upper right corner of the firefox screen. Where there is an option to "Manager search engines...". I even delete the Yahoo entry. But when i restart firefox, i got that "Search Setting Notification" message and the #$@? Yahoo is there on the upper right corner as my default search engine.

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

Can I programmatically change the VI Search Path?

I'm writing a simple program to periodically mass compile certain directories of my source code. In my directory structure I try to enforce rules about what is allowed to depend on what, so I want to programatically enforce this during the mass compile. To do this, I'd need to modify the VI search path before each directory is compiled. Is there any property or method available for changing the VI Search Path?

There is, but it's a private property, so it's not documented, and its behavior and/or availability can change with subsequent releases of LabVIEW:

[Help] LabVIEW Search Paths Questions...

Is the "Tools" \ "Options" \ "Paths" \ "Search Paths" stored on the PC that is running LabVIEW or stored in the currently opened VI?
Also can I specify relative search paths for example: "<topvi>\..\..\..\Library\MyLib\*"
Is the search recursive? i.e. If there are subfolders, with subfolders will it drill down looking for the missing VI's?
The issue I have is that I have a project in a directory structure defined by a configuration control program i.e:
Y:\Test Equp\Project\Modules\Library\MyLib\* (there may be one or more sub folders contain VI's).
Y:\Test Equp\Project\Modules\MyApplication\* (there may be one or more sub folders contain VI's).
On the target the structure might be:
C:\Final\Library\MyLib\*
C:\Final\MyApplication\*
The issue is when I copy the files from Y: on my PC to C: on the PXI rack and open the top level VI in "MyApplication", LabVIEW cannot see the files in the "MyLib" until I tell where one VI is in each sub folder in "MyLib". This is a pain, specially if I make changes and transfer the file back to my PC as I have too go through the process again!
If I can spec a search path for the library files then it should just find them on either my PC or the PXI rack...
Thanks

It is specific to that PC. It is stored in the labview.ini file.

You can, but that's not really the solution to your problem.
Is the search recursive? i.e. If there are subfolders, with subfolders will it drill down looking for the missing VI's?
That's what the asterisk at the end signifies. From the LabVIEW Help:
After you select the directory, LabVIEW inserts the path in the text box to the right of the Browse button. You can edit the path in this text box. When you select a path, LabVIEW normally searches that directory but not its subdirectories. You can make the search hierarchical by appending an asterisk (*) to the new path item. For example, enter LabVIEW/*, LabVIEW\*, or LabVIEW:* to search LabVIEW and its subdirectories.
The issue I have is that I have a project in a directory structure defined by a configuration control program i.e:
Y:\Test Equp\Project\Modules\Library\MyLib\* (there may be one or more sub folders contain VI's).
Y:\Test Equp\Project\Modules\MyApplication\* (there may be one or more sub folders contain VI's).
On the target the structure might be:
C:\Final\Library\MyLib\*

The location of subVIs is saved with a VI, and it's a relative path. Since you are moving both directories there shouldn't be an issue finding the subVIs when you open the top-level VI, so it's not clear why there's an issue here. Are you loading VIs dynamically?

Search Path Field Height

We have a large LV developer user base and our users are getting confused by the limitations on the search path fields. The lowercase q really looks like a q (see below), any ideas on how to change this to make it more clear?
Thanks!
Using LabVIEW2012 32bit

Ironically, in your message both characters "lowercase g and looks like a q" they both look the same. I understand, looking at the image that you are saying lowercase G and lowercase Q look the same, apparently because the field height clips the image?

Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
Thanks in advance!

These messages are sent by IDoc from the source system. Both the extractor itself as well as the service API can send messages. When errors occur, several messages are usually sent together.
From the source system, there are several types of messages that can be differentiated by the so-called Info-IDoc-Status. The IDoc with status 2 plays a particular role here; it describes the number of records that have been extracted in a source system and sent to BI. The number of the records received in BI is checked against this information.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

VI Search Path not working in LV2011 for VI Server Plug-ins with exe

I have found what seems to be a problem with the search path when a LabVIEW 2011 built executable calls a Plug-in VI.
When the plug-in VI has subVI’s from vi.lib on its diagram the executable has to know where to find them. Not all VI’s in vi.lib are part of the run time engine or the dll’s that may get generated as part of the build. The things you have to do to make plug-ins work for an executable are explained in several Developer Zone articles. The article titled “How Can I Change or Set the VI Search Path for LabVIEW Executables” describes the ini file setting viSearchPath. When this is set to the vi.lib directory I have not encountered problems with previous versions up to and including LabVIEW 2010.
I have come across an example in LabVIEW 2011 where it doesn’t work. I have attached an example (I am using LV2011 SP1). It demonstrates the basic plug-in architecture. Everything works in the development environment. But it doesn’t work from a built exe. I haven’t included the actual built exe in the zip file in case that causes a problem downloading it. If you run the build spec from the src directory project file the exe should get generated in the bld directory. The problem appears to occur when certain VIs from the analysis library are in the Plug-in. In the example attached, the Plug-in VI is very simple but I have placed the troublesome SubVI on the diagram. The VI in this example where there is a problem finding it is the Butterworth Filter VI. I have placed it on the diagram in a conditional disable structure so it is easy to enable and disable. When enabled and you run the test Plug-in VI the error 1003 is raised, meaning a subVI cannot be found in the dynamically called VI (for example see this post). Note that a way round this may be to incorporate the Plug-in VI into the built exe but this shouldn't be necessary. It’s not a problem with this specific filter VI, as it occurs for other VIs I try on the diagram. However if you place an FFT VI on the diagram there is no problem. I suspect that one is built into the Run-Time Engine.
I also note I am running Win7 64 bit and 32 bit LabVIEW (note the relevant viSearchPath in the ini file – you may need to change if you are on different version of Windows). If the example is converted to LabVIEW 2010 everything works as expected for the built exe. I tried that on a colleague’s computer running XP and 2010 but I am pretty sure in still also works on Win 7.
Things I am suspicious of are that the analysis VI’s are part of a LabVIEW library (lvlib) and perhaps something has changed there? I understand there is a problem with OOP in LabVIEW 2011. Perhaps it is related to that as that seems to be an issue in 2011 (see this Discussion Forum post). Perhaps it is related to OS version?
I also tried generating a Source Distribution to extract out all the vi.lib VI’s and place them directly in the Plug-in directory. That didn’t help.
Interested in whether anyone else reproduces this behaviour. In any case something is different in 2011.

I found some more out about this issue working with my local NI rep here in Australia. Apparently something has changed in the compiler between LabVIEW 2010 and 2011. Using the viSearchPath token in the ini file, as described in various Developer Zone articles, now guarantees that the Plug-in will not work. The only way to make it work appears to be to create a Source Distribution. I noted in my original post that I had already tried this and it would not work. It turns out that having the viSearchPath token in the ini file when using a Source Distribution causes the error 1003 to occur. When the token is taken out of the ini file the Plug-in (containing an analysis VI) with a Source Distribution works - in the simple example I posted.
Well I then found its a bit more complicated than this. It all worked for the simple example I posted. Recall we found the error when there was an analysis VI in the Plug-in VI. In our actual application (which is a large one) that calls Plug-ins - we still got the error 1003. By trial and error I found a workaround. There are certain Build Spec settings for the calling exe that I set and found worked. On the Additional Exclusions page I found that I had to make sure that I left unchecked "Modify Project Library File after removing unused members". I've always had trouble understanding the need for this setting. In the Build Spec Help on that page it notes that the build will take longer. In most builds you remove polymorphic VI instances, remove unused members of Project libraries and also Modify the project library file after removing the instances (this is a sub setting of the previous). This makes the exe smaller in size and a quicker build time. Obviously modifying the project library caused a problem. In the big application exe calling Plug-in, I probably have the same analysis VI on the diagram (I haven't actually checked and also whether it is the same polymorphic instance) and in the simple example I posted I definitely did not have VI in the calling exe example - so there may be some clue there. I should try putting the same analysis VI on the calling exe diagram in the simple example to see what happens but I'm running out of energy on this one :-(
So none of this gives me much confidence and I wish I could get a better explanation from NI regarding this behaviour to be sure I am not going to encounter a different problem for different calling exe and Plug-ins. I was advised that a CAR would be issued. Perhaps this is now expected behaviour for 2011 but it would helpful if some definitive explanation could be given about what has changed from LV2010. And an update of Developer Zone articles on the subject would be helpful.

I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf. I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message. I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

Hey Suzanne,
Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
Please check and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
