Include Subdirectories in Build

I have a project with a few subdirectories that hold config files and header files the main program uses.
I have set these directories as "Always Include".
I have created teh directories in the "Destinations" section of the build properties
Under Source File Settings I have tries checking and unchecking "Set Destination for all contained items" to same as caller.
When I build it does not create the subdirectories and puts all the "alway include" files in the /Data directory.
Solved!

You have to set the destination of each configuration file individually.

Nilvaiu.dll? Why was it not included in the build?

I am building a standalone application in LV 8.5
When I install and run the appllication on the target machine it keeps looking for nilvaiu.dll.
What is this dll and why is it not automatically included in the build if it is needed to run?
I have created an installer that includes the LV8.5 runtime and this is still not included?

Hi RTSLU,
Shouldn't the scales and DAQ assistant automatically be included in the build?
From the LabVIEW Help:
Using Application Builder with NI-DAQmx
When using the Application Builder to create either a stand-alone application or an installer, you can choose to include or exclude project-defined tasks, channels, and scales.
To create an application, complete the following steps:
Create a task, channel, or scale.
Add the task, channel, or scale to a VI by dragging and dropping the object onto the front panel or block diagram.
Right-click Build Specifications. Select New»Application (EXE).
The Application Builder window opens. Refer to Building a Stand-Alone Application for more information on setting up an application build.
Select Source Files from the Category list. Move the desired VI to the Startup VIs list box.
Select Advanced from the Category list. The option Include hardware configuration files is selected by default. If you build with the option checked, daqmx.ini is created in the support directory path. The .ini file contains task, channel, and scale configuration data in plain text format. When you run the application, the application references the .ini file to set up tasks, channels, and scales in the VI.
To create an installer, complete the following steps:
Right-click Build Specifications. Select New»Installer.
Refer to Building an Installer for more information on setting up an installer build.
Select Advanced from the Category list. Click Include hardware configuration from MAX. The MAX hardware configuration includes device information, in addition to NI-DAQmx task, channel, and scale configurations.
Click Configure. The Configuration Export Wizard opens. For more information on exporting a hardware configuration, refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx. When you run the installer, the installer references the .nce file to set up devices, tasks, channels, and scales in MAX.
I have two scales and a DAQ Assistant in the project explorer on the development computer.
I don't see either of them in MAX.
To see them in MAX please refer to the "Exporting NI-DAQmx Tasks, Channels, and Scales in a Project" in the LabVIEW Help.
I do not even know how to troubleshoot this since I can move the DAQ back to the develpoment computer and it runs fine.
When it runs fine, are you running the built executable or the VI on the development computer? Try including the hardware configuration from MAX in the installer as stated above.

Properties files in a Java package not included in DC build

We are developing a Portal Standalone DC and i have a JspDynPage component within it. and i need to do internationalization in it. so as part of that i want to keep multiple resource bundles(properties) so that i could manage my properties files easily, For example
MSS.properties
MSS_es.properties
ESS.properties
LSO.properties
since portal by default has no way to do this bcos it allows only one resourcebundle to specify in portalapp.xml file, i have kept the resource bundles in java package like
com.companyname.portal.resources.
when i export from NWDS with selection of "i want to add non java resources into jar " option from windows->preferences->enterprise portal ->application development studio, it exports all the properties files as part of the par and everything works. but when i do the DC build it ignores all my properties files and it is not working. any suggestions on how to resolve this??? does SAP provide any other way of handling multiple properties files inside a PAR?????

We are using NWDS 2004 SP19. and yes i have defined three default SCs as dependencies. I tested with 2004s NWDS and it seems work fine. I am able to resovle this issue by moving my properties files into another java DC and create public part in java DC and use those public parts in Portal application DC.
So The problem of not including the properties files into Jar seems to be issue only in Portal Application DC not in Java DC. thanks everyone for the quick responses..

How to update the AIR included in Flash Builder SDK?

So, the Flash Builder SDK comes with a version of AIR, which it uses when you package a mobile app for iOS (Android mobile apps are run with the AIR that's downloaded from the Marketplace)... On my Windows machine, this "built-in" copy of AIR is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\runtimes\" unless I'm mistaken.
I'm pretty sure that it does not automatically update itself -- and I'm equally certain that it's a pretty old version of AIR, because it's the one that was included with the 4.6 SDK which was released 8 months ago...
So how do I update this version of AIR that's built into the Flash Builder SDK?
Thanks,
Laurence MacNeill

Oops -- never mind... Didn't realize there was a separate AIR SDK that you could download -- I thought it was integrated into the Flex SDK, and since there hasn't been a new Flex SDK since 4.6, I thought I had to somehow grab pieces and parts of AIR to update this manually...
But grabbing the AIR SDK from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html did the trick... Just unzipped that into the sdks\4.6.0 folder and was done... Sweet...

Including Library in Build Path

I am using Eclipse 3.x,
How do I add External Libraries in my Project
Ans: Add all the external Jars in the build path (from project properites)
What if its a huge hirarchy ?
Ans shoud be: make a userlibrary and link that library to the folder which contains all jar files (hirarch of folders), and then include that userlibrary to your project.
Problem; If I create userlibrary, I have to select the jar files .. not the higetst level folder, which contains all the jar files ... This is what I dont want. I want to just select a folder.. and that all, and then use this folder as the build path .. "HOW do I do this ""??
-

In eclpise, Drop all jar files under the lib folder of your project (including folders and subfolders).
Right click on the project icon, go to <properties><java build path><libraries>
Navigate to one of the sub folders. click on the top jar file, hold down the <shift> key and then click on the bottom jar file. All jar files between are selected. Add them to the project. Since this is a one-time-only effort, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to find a better short cut. You can pretty quickly go though each subfolder and get what you need.
If you insist on your way, perhaps you need to repackage all the folders and subfolders with thier jar file in an all enclosing jar file with a manifest. I dont know how to do this.
An alternative is to read up on Maven (the more modern way of automatically adding jar files and thier correct versions to a project). However, it will probably take you a long time to come up to speed on it.

Can visa runtime engine be included in application build?

I just installed my program on a new machine and it wouldn't work. Turned
out I needed to also install the visa runtime engine. Is there any way to
automatically include that in the application build?

I've seen that you can tick of under the "additional installers" that Visa runtime is included, however, this will look for the installer files on the CD's. Is there a way to update this ? (I have 4.0 on the disc, and would like to included 4.2 in my build for installation/deployment.
The file I download from NI is a .exe, but the linking to the build configurator is some strange windows code (see attached screenshot)

New components not being included in automatic builds

Is it my imagination, or did something change between FB3
Beta 3 and Final that causes new Flex components to be excluded
from project builds until they are referenced by other classes
currently in the project?
The specific pain I'm experiencing is that I don't get syntax
errors or warnings reported when editing freshly added components
and saving the file.

I can't speak definitively, but have heard this complaint
before. I'm still on Beta 3

Why is playerglobal.swc not included in trunk build of Flex 4.5

Hi, i've downloaded the latest from the Flex SVN trunk, and built it with Ant in every way I can possibly think of (after running Ant -projecthelp).
I have Flex 4.5 configured as my Flex SDK in Flex Builder 3, but since playerglobal.swc is not there, I'm missing core libraries. I'm adding playerglobal.swc from an old downloaded version of Flex 4, which seems to work, but why would this swc not get built from the trunk?
Thanks,
Peder J.

Hmm, it's there but it seems to behave differently in flash builder. When I have the playerglobal.swc from 4.5 in my trunk, I can only access a few limited packages in code assist in Flex Builder:
But when I add playerglobal.swc from Flex 4 that I downloaded a while back, Code assists gives me access to the full library
Here is the version:
<flex-sdk-description>
<name>Flex 4.0</name>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<build>7219</build>

Why are icons not included sometimes after build in Xcode 5.0.2

Sometimes after doing Build in xcode 5.0.2 the iconset is ignored, relaced by the default in displays, even though they remain in the Images.xcassets file. I have to re-import them. What might have I done to cause this? It seems to be a random occurrance.

Hi kapoor_aman27,
this is just a warning, because the size of the string is stored as an int32 and some function has Argument with type int32. You can change the compiler setting "Treat Warnings as Errors" to "No". Then it is only a warning and you can ignore it as long as you use string with less than 4GB.

How to copy the whole directory including subdirectories and files in java

i have written the code for copying the directory with subdirectories.but directory is copying .but its subdirectories and files are not copying.please tell me how to solve this problem
import java.io.*;
public class copy
private void copyFile(File src, File dst) throws IOException

It is NOT a ""here's my spec". As simple as it is.
And of course I know help here is free as in other thousands of forums
That is not really the issue. You have already noted that this is not as simple as you thought. There have been at least three statements in reponse to your request. The reasons for these statements are that you are asking for someone to
write a script that is not a simple script. YOu canwrite a script and post it with questions and your questions will be answered.
I posted before that you cannot copy applications like Office between systems. They must be installed. Office and most other applications can g\be installed by Group Policy. This -is how we normally do this in Windows. There is normally
no other way to do this for a large number of systems.
For large numbers of arbitrary file we would normally use RoboCopy. The issues you have had with RoboCopy can be overcome by setting the correct options. If you are trying to copy Office or other applications you sill likely find that many files
are locked. This cannot be overcome by any copy method. This is one of many reasons why we use Installers for applications.
I suggest that you learn the basics of Windows and how it manages applications and files. Getting the fundamentals clear will help you to understand how to perform basic tasks in a Windows network.
If you really need help with this then you need to step back and explain exactly what is being copied and why. I can think of no real world scenario where what you are asking for is necessary. If you can explain that perhaps we can point
you at a usable solution.
Just keep in mind that you cannot remotely install Office or most applications by copying the files. This has always been true in Windows.

Repeat a Header on each page of a Report that includes expressions - Report Builder 3.0

Is there a way of repeating an header on each page of a report with the built-in expressions representing the new value on each header. Example, Page 1 is correct but page 2 - the permit number, address and Tract does not match up, it repeats all the
information from page 1.

Hi KittyCat101,
According to your description, you want repeat a show with expression to show Permit Number and Address dynamically on each page. Right?
In Reporting Services, table header is not in any group row, so when you put expression with data field into header row, it will only return the first row of that data row. This is the reason why it always shows the information as Page 1.
In this scenario, we can make records group on Permit Number. Then we put the Permit Number and Address in the group header. Set page break between each group instance.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

How to include a .lvlib in a build that was created using a custom .dll

I am trying to build an executable in LV2010 that uses a .lvlib that was created using a .dll from Keyence. I have added the .lvlib to the source files as "Always Included" and I have also added all of the .vi files of the library to "Always Included." I still get the error saying "Missing External Function" when running the program. The executable seems to open fine on the development computer but not on a secondary computer. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

...I assumed too quickly that the problem was resolved. By specifying the path I was actually able to open the executable after installing but none of the .dll functions worked. I noticed that when I specified a path on the diagram, the .dll was no longer included in the dependencies and was no longer included in the build. I guess this would explain why none of the functions were working. I copied the .dll over to the path specified on the diagram and it still did not function.
This brings me back to the original problem I was facing. I actually removed the .lvlib. I replaced all of the library vi references with the Call Library Function and deselected the "Specify path on diagram" Boolean. When I do this, the build includes the .dll in the dependencies list and it includes the .dll file in the destination folder of the install. However, when running the executable I get a list of errors that read, "Missing external function …” I have attached an image of this error. This is the same error that occurred when I was using the library, but I thought maybe the library was the cause of the problem, which is why I used the Call Library Function instead.
*I have tried adding the .dll to the support files and I receive the same error when trying to run the executable.
*I have tried adding the .dll to the support files and making it an “always include” in the installer properties under source files. This returns the same error.
I’m really not sure where to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Build including high number of subVI

Good morning,
I would like to build my application, but it uses a lot of subVi and some llb in user library. I cannot find a way to make the builder attach all the subVI needed and I would like to avoid to have to add separately several hundred of subVI! So is there a way to add a whole llb or a whole directory with VI recognise properly (which is not the case of add directory content implemented in the builder)
thanks in advance

I am not sure which version of LabVIEW you are using so the answer may change a little bit, but when you build the application you should be able to select Dynamic VIs.
In 7.1 you can add your Main VI as the top level, and then each dynamically called Top Level VI as dynamic VIs.
So if your main.vi calls dynamically subVI A and B, just include A and B as dynamic VIs. LabVIEW will make sure to grab all the statically called VIs in Main, A, and B. There should be no reason to include an entire LLB, unless you are truly calling every single VI in that dynamically.
I have built multiple apps with well over 1000 VIs, and have found that a nice "trick" is to create a dummy VI. On that VIs diagram you statically place all the dynamic VIs you will call. You then include that single file as a dynamic VI. Then as you add new dynamic VIs you simply add it to this dummy VI and they will be included in the build. However, you never actually call or use the dummy VI, it is simple included in the build to ensure you get all the dynamic VIs. Therefore, you should not have any issues with the DLL, because you never load th edummy VI.

Request Final UEFI builds be included to prevent confusion

Hi guys,
Can we also include final UEFI builds posted as well?
For instance, for [Z87-G43 GAMING] UEFI Bios Versions [E7816IMS.Axx Versions] https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177198.0
The last post (05-August-14) has E7816IMS.A50 ==> E7816IMS.A62,
but if you check at MSI, they have E7816IMS.A60 Final, posted 2014-07-21. (http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z87G43_GAMING.html#down-bios)
What do you think??

Right now, we are short on time to update beta section on a regular basis. I added the official in this case with fpt flash prepared archive for using the forum tool: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177198.msg1312108#msg1312108
