Is it possible to build a firewall using labview??
RAJESH

There are several kinds of firewalls, for example:
(1) so called "personal firewall software" which applies some policies to incoming and outgoing ethernet traffic on the computer it is running.
(2) Dedicated hardware firewalls (having at least two ethernet interfaces) that enforce policies of traffic flowing across. These can be bridging, routing, or even be proxying.
LabVIEW does NOT have access to the low level packet structure (ethernet header, ip header, tcp header, etc.) and relies on the OS for routing decisions. LabVIEW only deals with TCP and UDP and only at a very high level. A firewall must also make decisions for e.g. ICMP, GRE, or other IP packets, must know the status of all TCP flags (SYN, ACK, URG, PSH, FIN, RST), must check for valid fragmentations, et., etc.. LabVIEW cannot do any typical firewall tasks unless you do most of your work with external routines. In this case, LabVIEW just provides the UI.
(Even simple ftp traffic would be quite complicated. For example the ports for the secondary data connections must be dynamically allowed based on information gleaned from the control connection, in this particular case the PORT command and the reply to the PASV command).
I would say the answer is NO! Not with the networking tools provided with LabVIEW alone.
With lots of work, you might be able to built a simple proxy server using LabVIEW, but this would seem quite useless...

Is it possible to build a project with Labview 2010 on a Windows XP system, that is useful for a system with windows 7 on it?

Hi there,
I am planning to use Labview 2010 in a short time.
But before I'm going to use it I have some questions.
I know it is possible to run Labview 2010 in an XP environment. But is it also possible to, when running Labview 2010 on a XP system, to build a project to a version that is useful in a Windows 7 environment?
Or do I have to run Labview 2010, when I want to build a project that is useful on a Windows 7 system, on a system with Windows 7?
Please give me some information.
I hope to hear from one of you soon.

How to build anintractive questionare using labview

Hi everybody,
I am working on Curriculum Developement where I would like to come up with an automated LabView questionare as an alternative solution to existing paper-based questionaires. I'm interested in using labview but I have no idea how to begin. could someone please help me out.
I really,Really need this help.

Thank you so much Adnan,I know I may sound stupid asking these questions but its because I need help and would really love to use labVIEW and understand it even better (am not big in programming much less using text based languages,but I love labVIEW and would want to explore it even further! thats why I opted to use Labview in building this interactive and automated questionare).
This questionare should capture almost all the information that is required,thus it will include both detailed and one word answers. check boxes and radio buttons if possible. as you have pointed out,the questions should be put in a database and the corresponding answers also to be captured in a database for later analysis.
My labVIEW knowledge is not wide but am going through some materials at the moment plus your support and I hope to accomplish this within the shortest time possible.
regards

Is that possible to build cube using STAGING FACT TABLE on Essbase ?????

Is that possible to build cube using STAGING FACT TABLE on Essbase ?????
If yes, kindly guide me to do ....
Thanks in advance,
Mehar

I'm not sure what you are asking. IF you are asking if you can use a fact table as the source for buildnig an Essbase database, the answer is yes, from either SQL interface or Essbase Studio (or ODI or EIS). IF you are asking if you can use as relational staging table as an Essbase cube then no. If you can phrase the question differently or give an example of that you are trying to do, it might clarify what you are trying to do

Problem building application using Report Generation Toolkit, LV 2011

I'm using LabVIEW 2011 under Windows 7.
I tried to use Application Builder to create an executable from a large body of code. One thing the application does is load VIs into a subpanel and run them.
Application Builder created the executable and gave no error message. The built application ran except that it couldn't run any of the dynamic VIs.
I finally succeeded in doing a screen grab on a transient dialog (about 1/10 sec. appearance). The dialog showed an attempt to load <vilib>:\Utility\NIReport.llb\NI_report.lvclass.
In one dynamic VI I commented out the call to the only VI that uses the Report Generation Toolkit (called only from dynamic VIs, all of which call it). Sure enough, when I built the application with that change and ran it, the dynamic VI that didn't invoke the Report Generation Toolkit did successfully load into the subpanel and run.
So, trying to prove to myself that that was the only problem, I wrote a VI that does nothing but load a VI into a subpanel and run it. User can choose one of two VIs: one that doesn't call the Report Generation Toolkit (or do much of anything), and one that does. Both VIs run fine standalone.
The not-much-of-anything VI loaded and ran in the subpanel. The other VI didn't--the same dialog, mentioned above, popped up for 1/10 second or less. Screen grab is attached.
When I included LVClass and NIReport.llb folders in the project (from vi.lib\Utility: Snapshot folders), and "Always Included" those folders (per a suggestion on this forum from a few years ago), the result was the same. The result was also the same when I included either one of those folders but not the other. Likewise it doesn't matter whether I add the dynamic VIs as "Always Included" or not.
Another piece of information that may be pertinent: when adding the NIReport.llb folder, I got a message that it was impossible to add a certain VI that's part of some report-type class, because a VI of that name already existed in the project. Screenshot of that dialog is also attached.
VIs and project file are also attached along with the two screenshots. I hardcoded VI paths, so put everything into C:\Testing if you want to see what the code does--or hack as desired, etc.
I will be deeply grateful for any help! And I apologize in advance if there's already some exact or close-enough solution posted--but I doubt there is. I looked around.
Thanks very much,
mws

Test-App-Build.zip ‏336 KB

Hi again,
If you extract all files in the original zip attachment to a folder called C:\Testing on a Windows 7 machine running LV 2011, and then use the build script within the project file to build the application, you can run the application and see what happens. You can also play around with the build parameters, rebuild, run, and see what happens then. You can also open my VIs and see what I'm doing.
The application lets you pick one of two dynamic VIs to run in a subpanel. One VI contains calls both to Report Generation VIs and some functions from the Advanced File Functions palette. The other VI does not.
When you pick the first VI to load and run (the one with the Report Generation and Advanced File Functions calls), it loads into the subpanel but is not executable.
When you pick the second VI to load and run, it does load into the subpanel and execute. So there's nothing wrong with the way I load and run a VI in the subpanel.
In the development environment, the whole thing runs with no problems.
Evidently the built application has problems resolving paths of something called by Report Generation VIs and by the Advanced File Functions I use.
I've done a lot of experimenting and no luck. I've looked in forum archives, etc. etc., for possible solutions. I'm hoping there's some simple solution I've missed.
Thanks very much for any help!

Is it possible to add a firewall Filter or Rule Set to the Extreme Router (802.11n)

Is it possible to add a firewall Filter or Rule Set to the setting for the Extreme Router (802.11n) like the following:
"ALLOW TCP/UDP IN/OUT to 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 on Port 53" and
"BLOCK TCP/UDP IN/OUT all IP addresses on Port 53"
The goal of this is to create a firewall rule to only allow DNS (TCP/UDP) to OpenDNS' servers and restrict all other DNS traffic to any other IPs.
Or, alternatively is there a way to configure same applied to the Network preferences on IMAC OS X?
Thanks and much appreciation to anyone who has any clue about this.

Sorry, I think you've got it backwards.
The concern is NOT that the child can make changes to our hardware/AEBS, or even our network software on my IMAC - nothing's been changed.
BUT, he changed the dns settings on his OWN device (ie chromebook) to google public server, accessed the AE using our home wifi network BUT bypassed our dns settings. Capeesh?

Building a portal using SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We are trying to build a portal using SharePoint 2010.
The pimary requirement for the portal is to allow users to upload, view and manage different types of documents (xls, doc, ppt, vsd).
The uploaded documents need to be mapped to the different categories as per their classification.
For example, the documents fall into 5 main categories: A, B, C, D, E. These categories are further divided into sub-categories and so on for two more levels.
Example, Main categories: A, B, C, D, E
Sub categories for A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on
So, if one clicks on node A and then click on node 4, then all related documents will be displayed. (A.4)
From the front end point of view, the user should be able to access these documents by just clicking on the nodes representing different categories.
There are some more functionalities to be built for this portal - search, versioning, etc.
Can someone please provide me the (high level steps) approach for building this portal and some reference material from features/architecture/technical requirements point of view?
This would of great help!
Thanks!

Sure. Most of what you're describing is around the topic of document storage.
As you may be aware the object documents are stored in within SharePoint is a document library. You can have sub folders within that library but they're to be avoided if possible and shouldn't be a default choice.
To classify your documents there is several routes you can take. The least complicated is to use a single Content Type with a single Managed Metadata Column. This column would use a Mananged Metadata Term taken from a term set with the structure of A (1,2,3,4,5),B(x,y,z),etc..
That will allow your users to tag the document on upload (or modify it later) with a term such as A:1 or B:52.
To browse only the relevant items you can use the Managed Navigation tools in the document library, this allows you to show a term set and filter to various levels, for example all A terms, (ie A:1, A:2 etc.) or drill down to A:1 specifically.

Dynamically build VI using LabVIEW

I'm currently working on an application and I would like to be able to generate VI's using LabVIEW. I remember seeing something like this being used before, so I would like to know how one would go about accomplishing such a feat. The point is that I want to be able to use LabVIEW to generate LabVIEW VI's add some elements to those VI's (controls, functions, etc).
Thanks in advance,

I can not comment on when, but it will become available, someday.
Vision Builder has been doing this for years.
The LV State Diagram Editor (which is wonderful by the way) can obviously edit diagrams and is apparently implemented as a VI!
THe SD Editor (which is great by the way, I love this thing, NO MORE PowerPoint to design) is an incredibly small add-on. This leads me to suspect much of this functionality (i.e. VI's to edit VI's) is already implmented in LV, we just do not have mechanisms to get at it (other than using the very restricted tools mentioned above).
I stongly agree with Wiebe in that this functionality will be rather challenging to master.
It will also be dificuly to support!
Imagine the type of code that would result. here
is one mind bogling possiblity.
Write three VI's
"A.VI" alternately calls "B" and "C".
"B.VI" Executes a "random VI" evaluates the reuslts and clones a modified version of itself as "C.VI" based its evaluation of the random code results and any prior experiments it has performed.
C.VI then duplicates the actions of B.
This could lead to a type of artificial intellegent code that is able to adapt it own algorithm.
What happens if the code after learning and growing decides it does not want to do math anymore and would rather just listen to the same albumn over and over again?
How does a support engineer address that?
The reason I present this extreme case was that this functionaly, when it comes, it will be limited at first (as we see in dynamic event registration).
I seem to remember Rolf Kalbermatter (on Info-LabVIEW) saying something like "Self modifying code is a bad idea and went out style years ago".
Just my thoughts,

thank you.

Hi PikesPeakLV,
I was able to build an application using the example that you mentioned in LV 2009 on Windows XP SP3. I would like to know more details to figure out whats incorrect.
What are the NI Softwares installed in your system and what licenses you have?
Which Operating System you're using?
What is the location where you're attempting to store the build in? (Are you changing the default location?)
Is there any settings that you are using apart from the default settings?

Any suggestions?
Thanks

For any who may be having this problem here is a little more information and what I did to get around the issue. (so far)
First I tried a simple vi with a while loop in a project and made an executable build. This worked. I double checked on an XP machine the project that I was having problems with. The executable was built successfully. I changed back to the Windows 7 machine. On the program compatibility trouble shooter I started the LabVIEW 2009 (32 bit) in the XP service pack 2 mode and selected run as administrator. The build was successful.
Note: was logged in as administrator and program would build a simple executable in Windows 7. The executable that would not build had more complex code that included serial communication and calls to lvanlys.dll and nilvaiu.dll.
This may not be a complete fix to the problem but at least in this one case it worked.

Is it possible to build exe with vis that have striped block diagrams?

We can tell that an entity has stolen our code and are using them in their .exe file.
We used to distribute our program as a light exe layer that dynamically loads some source code distribution vis (block diagram striped) off disk and runs them.
What we don't know is whether they actually got our in house source code, or if they are somehow taking the distributed vi's and compiling them into their exe.
So the question is: Is it possible to take vis compiled for a 'source distribution' with the block diagrams removed (but front panels not removed) and compile them into an executable?

It's actually quite possible to use a source distribution VI for a new app. You need to select the "Do not disconnect type definitions or remove unreferenced
members" option in the "Additional Exclusions" page.
I've attached an example on how this can be done. Untitled Project 1 would be your project, which has a build target of your app, along with the source distribution for a VI with the block diagram stripped. Untitled Project 2 would be your competitor's project, which is a VI that uses your subVI directly and builds a separate application. As you can see, I can successfully build an application using your code.

Is it possible to build two different L2TP/IPSec tunnels per subnet or per user?

Dear colleagues
I wondered whether anyone could help with this one.
Is it possible to build two different L2TP/IPSec tunnels per subnet or per user on a Cisco router or any other third party manufacturer? The idea behind is to allow different access to resources to different support technicians. Your help is much appreciated.

Sure, the ASA can use LDAP/AD information to select what access list should be applied for that specific user or group of users logging into the VPN. You can use whats called DAP or just LDAP Attribute Maps.
