Max crash under "Remote systems"

Most of the time when MAX will crash when the mouse is clicked over the cRIO-9014 icon under remote systems.
Is there a fix for this? MAX 4.5 and VISA 4.4 are the software installed in the targets. See jpg file for items under remote systems.

Anna,
The mouse can be clicked to open all of the remote system objects but when the mouse is clicked over Ni-cRIO9014-013DBB8D, the Ni-cRIO9014-013DBB48 or the "Devices and Interfaces" icons MAX freezes (mouse icon becomes an hour glass). There are no warnings and after waiting for about 10 minutes I click the close button on the top right hand corner. See jpg message for the response.
I've made a project with the cRIO 9014 and Ni9211 modules and it does work (can record tempeature). It seems to occur more often because I was able to get the URL for the project by clicking on the Ni-cRIO9014013DBB8D but now I'm not able to anymore.
Hope this helps to better define the problem.

What does the red dot next to the cfp icon under remote systems mean

what does the red dot next to the cfp icon under remote systems mean

Hi,
This red dot is just to show you which fieldpoint controller is selected. You can change between controllers, and the red dot will move.
Have a Great Day!

Regarding fieldpoint, why doesn't cFP show up under remote systems

We have a cFP2000 that was configured on another computer last year which is now being tranferred to a different computer. Currently I am trying to install fieldpoint. Under remote systems, I do not see the cFPsystem device. When I right click remote systmes, I click on fieldpoint but I do not know the IP address to continue further. Is it possible that the switches on the Fieldpoint may be set wrong, such as the safe mode...or that the ethernet wiring may be wrong, although I am pretty sure this is okay...

Hi biom,
I'm assuming you're connecting your computer and the cFP-2000 directly, is that correct? If so, please make sure the settings and cable requirement in the following article are met:
Connecting a Fieldpoint Controller Directly to an Ethernet Card
You may want to reset the IP address of your controller (by setting the reset dip switch to on, power cycle the controller, flip switch back to off position, then power on system). You should then see the controller with an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
Thanks,
Lesley Y.

MAX missing entire remote systems section in tree

I have found lots of stuff about RT devices not being seen by max, but I don't see anything about the entire remote system section not showing up. I did a repair on max, checked that the drivers were there, have RT installed (as shown in picture) etc etc. Anyone know why this might be missing?

Only complete uninstall of everything and reinstall of 2009 +plus 2010 without device drivers (I was scared) fixed my system. lost two days to this issue at a time critical period. Posts here went unanswered. Lost sleep etc. I am starting to believe that running virtual OS's is the way to go... cause this is unacceptable.. and I even had beta tested 2010 with device drivers without issue... it was after installing the released version with device drivers that I had a problem!
Hm maybe I'll try your approach after R&D looks into it more. Uninstalling & Reinstalling to try different configurations is a pain because, as you said, it's incredibly time consuming.

Instrument readings in Veristand with a remote system

I am new to National Instruments hardware and Veristand and I'm trying to use an instrument with Veristand to see if I can get readings from that instrument. I am using a PC with Windows Vista and I'm connected through a network to a PXI 8108 controller in a PXI 1050 chasiss. The instrument is just a thermocouple which I am using to get familiar with everything. The thermocouple is connected to the SCB-68 connector block which is connected to a PXI 6221 multifunction DAQ in the chassis. I am able to create a task in MAX under remote system and everything seems to work. What I want to do is to get the readings into Veristand, and I'm not sure if I need to create a custom device that is linked to the DAQ somehow or if there's some other way to do this. I've created the DAQ device in the system explorer but I don't see any way of linking it to the actual DAQ device on the remote system. I'm wondering if someone can help with this.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

You can read your thermocouple channel value directly from VeriStand, but the process is different than using MAX.
In System Explorer, add your DAQ device that is cabled to your SCB-68. Make sure you specify the same name (i.e. "Dev1") that is in MAX. Also make sure you've imported the device channel that is hooked up to the thermocouple (i.e. "ai0"). There's no way in System Explorer to specify that this channel should have thermocouple scaling. VeriStand will initially sample this channel value as a raw voltage value. You can, however, set the high and low limit for this channel to something small like +/- 1V, since thermocouples have very small readings.
You add the scale to your system separately after deploying the System Definition you created to the RT Target. You do this by connecting to the target using the Workspace and selecting the Workspace tool from the Tools menu called the Channel Scaling and Calibration Manager.
In this dialog you will see your DAQ channel listed. Navigate through this dialog to assign an appropriate thermocouple scale to your channel. Once this is done, the target will remember the scale for this channel until you overwrite it.
Let me know how this goes...

Remote system disconnected after installing MAX 4.7.3

Hello!
This topic is related to the topic you can find here.
In order to repair the Regional Settings issue in Windows (XP in my case) I used the System Configuration 1.1.3 update and it seems to work. I changed the Regional Settings to my local and installed the update. Silverlight does not crash anymore, so that is fixed. However, this created a new issue:
Now my remote devices (NI-1742 and NI-1746) status is always "disconnected". The devices are connected to a different subnet than the development computer. Pinging their IPs showed that they are there. I can connect to the cameras using the Real-time Project. However, in MAX the remote system status remains "disconnected". I tried to delete and re-create the devices in MAX but that did not work either.
I also tried the latter with Windows firewall on and off and updated the software with NI Update Service. On an another computer, which has not had the update yet, I can connect to and modify the devices.
In addition, I completely reinstalled the development system, but the issue persists.
Kind regards,
Mart

Hey Mart,
It looks like this may be related to a possible bug introduced in MAX 4.7.3. I've uploaded Juurma.zip to our FTP site. Please obtain this .zip file by navigating to ftp://ftp.ni.com/outgoing.
This .zip file contains a patched version of mxRmCfg.dll. First, close all NI software and stop the NI System Web Server service and all its dependencies (you can get to your services by going to Start->Run and typing in services.msc). Then, navigate to this directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\MAX\Bin
You will need to rename the existing mxRmCfg.dll to mxRmCfg.bak, and copy the new version to that location. Restart your system, open MAX, and see if you can connect to and view your targets.
If this resolves your issue, PLEASE post back in this thread indicating as much. If not, let us know and we'll continue to investigate. Note that items on our FTP server will be removed after 48 hours, so let me know if you're unable to get that file in time

Hello Awais,
There are a few places that indicate the Real-Time Module has been succesfully installed. I am attaching screenshots of the following locations that indicate that this is the case:
-'Remote Systems' under Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)
-NI License Manager
-LabVIEW splash screen
If the Real-Time module/option appears in the locations listed above, there should be no reason for you to have to uninstall or re-install your software. If there are other indicators such as error messages or the module does not appear in these locations, please attach screenshots and a detailed description. We can then discuss if uninstalling or reinstalling the software is the next best option.

Problem showing remote systems in MAX

I am having trouble viewing traces set up on remote systems in Max. I am using version 4.7.0f4 Whenever I try to set up a new remote system, it cannot find any remote computers. I have tried using both the computer name (which is resolved to an IP address in the hosts file) and the just IP address. I get this error: "Unable to initialize connection to remote system(s)."
it's: agilent 34980a. i'm trying to reach it through global network but when i'm at the place where i have my device in local network everything is working fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi jacur,
Can you give more details? Which protocol would you like to use to connect to the device? It may appear under Devices and Interfaces if you use certain protocols.
Does the Agilent 34980 support communication over global network? Is the network gateway configure in the device? Are you sure your firewall not blocking MAX communication?
Have you installed a software that makes MAX able to find the device on network? You can check the Instrument Driver Network... may be this driver is useful: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=5871

VISA does not recognize remote system in MAX

I've been trying to setup instrument cards in a PXIe chassis, and I am having trouble getting VISA to recognize them. From reading some of the other posts related to VISA Resource Names, I found that you should be able to drag and drop devices from NI MAX into a Labview Block Diagram, and it will automatically create a VISA Resource Control for the device. I am able to do this for devices installed on "My System" (COM1 for example), but when I try to do it from "Remote System", is just drops the name in a text block. If I try to create a VISA Resource Control directly, the drop-down only shows the devices on My System. I've even tried to switch the VISA class for the control. Still can't get VISA to recognize the remote devices. Please Advise.

Why does MAX say %22The remote access list on this system is blank%22%3F

I am building and deploying a real-time data acquisition/control system using LabVIEW RT (2012 SP1) and a PXI controller. I've tested my software, and it runs fine, now that I've figured out how to build stand-alone executables for both the Host and RT Target systems.
Due to a bug on the RT side (which I hope I've now fixed), I needed to "rebuild" my PXI Controller, reinstall LabVIEW RT and related software, and reconfigure all of the Tasks in MAX (version 5.5). To save the Configuration (and simplify reconfiguring the Tasks and Channels), I tried to export the configuration using the Configuration Export Wizard in MAX. However, there were some (minor?) inconsistencies in some of the devices (such as NI-488.2) between the Host and Remote systems that generated some errors. I was able to correct this by asking MAX to do a Reset Configuration Data on the Host, and those problems went away.
After exporting the NI Configuration Export File for my PXI, I decided to use MAX to Create Reports on both my Host and Remote PXI systems. While reviewing the PXI's report, I noticed that the last entry in the report, called "Security", reads as follows:
"The remote access list on this system is blank. This means that no remote system has access to this system."
What does this mean? Where is the "remote access list on this system", and how is it maintained? Note that I haven't (yet) tried deploying my (formerly-working) Project to this (rebuilt) Controller, but I haven't made changes in LabVIEW, itself.
If I look at the Properties of the RT Target in Project, the VI Server properties (still) show TCP/IP enabled (port 3363) with Machine Access given to "*" (all machines) and, similarly, all Exported VIs allowed access.
Am I missing something? Can I safely ignore the above Security report entry generated by MAX, or is there a hidden setting I need to find and change?

i am not sure about your situation, but it seems to me that it is connected to "Security" Settings. Please refer to the help in MAX, topic "Logging into your System".

I agree, but I've never heard about "Security Settings" in MAX. When I first read your note, I went looking and couldn't find "Logging into your System". I came back a day later, was going to write a "There is not such topic!" reply, but fortunately I looked again, and found it. I suspect the reason I never ran into this was that my controllers were all using older BIOSes -- I'd just "rebuilt" this controller, including updating its BIOS, and ran into the Login prompt for the first time ...
Thanks for pointing me in (what turns out to be) the right direction!

My MAX software only lists Software under My System

I am learning LabView and in one of the four tutorials it asks that you activate MAX via the icon on your desktop. When I activate MAX only the "Software" catagory shows under "My System" instead of the five catagories (Data Nieghborhood, Devices and Interfaces, Scales, Software, and IVI Drivers). What can be done to fix this problem?

Hi SRCPete,
Thanks for your post and I hope your well.
It has been sometime since you've posted - so I do hope you resolved your issue. But I just wanted to offer my support just incase.
This sounds like a MAX Database Corruption - going by some research into similar symptoms previous customers have seen. The resolution was to follow the guidance written in the following knowledgebase article,
How Do I Recover From MAX Database Corruption?

However - I do have some questions:
1. Have they always been missing?
2. Could you please post a screenshot of what you MAX looks like?
Hope all is well - and Im sorry you haven't received any support this far... I'm not sure why a fellow Applications Engineer hasn't received notification that this thread hadn't been answered. Please accept the apology.

How to config DAQmx device on remote system

How can I set the DAQmx device on the remote system? I have NI-7831R on a desktop, but when I open MAX on my lap top which is connected to the desktop I can't see the device? Should I do something to configure the device?

The 7831R is not a DAQmx device, so it should not show up under your DAQmx devices. It should show up in MAX on the computer it is installed in as as a RIO device. However this will only show up if you have NI-RIO driver installed on the system as well. What version of NI-RIO are you using?

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.

"Program terminated in remote system NONE: Logon failed" when adding a new table

Hello,
I set up a replication flow from a SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 with SAP ASE 16.0 source to SAP HANA 1.0 rev 82 target
I am using a standalone SLT system NetWeaver 7.0 with DMIS 2011_1_731 (with SP 1 to 7).
I have 100 tables to replicate.
I succeeded to set up replication for 57 tables. These tables are replicating properly.
Whenever I try to add a new one (with LTRC transaction, Data Provisioning -> Start Replication), the new table is marked as 'Failed' after a little while.
When I press 'Show Error Log' button I got an obscure error message:
"Program terminated in remote system NONE: Logon failed "
I do not understand this message. I checked both on SAP ASE source and SAP HANA target. I am still able to connect against both source and target.
Can you please tell how to troubleshoot this error.
Thanks in advance,
Christian

First thank you for answering my questions. I really appreciate your answers.
I rechecked the documentation.
"Application Operations Guide SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server Document Version: 2.3 – 2014-07-08"
Page 29 - 30
3.5.2.2 Data Transfer Jobs
This section explains the relationship between the number of data transfer jobs and the number of available background work process.
Data transfer and data transformation processing on SLT server system is accomplished by the background work processes of the underlying SAP NetWeaver ABAP application server. Each job occupies 1 background work process in the SAP LT Replication Server system. For each configuration, the parameter Data Transfer Jobs restricts the maximum number of data load job for each mass transfer ID (MT_ID). In total, a mass transfer ID (MT_ID) requires at least 4 background jobs to be available:
 One monitoring job (master job)
 One master controller job
 At least one data load job
 One additional job either for the migration objects definition, access plan calculation or to change configuration settings in the Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard
Example
If you set the parameter Data Transfer Jobs to 04 in a configuration “SCHEMA1”, a mass transfer ID 001 is assigned. As a result, the following jobs should be in the system:
1 Master controller job: /1LT/IUC_REP_CNTR_001
 At most 4 parallel jobs for MT_ID 001: /1LT/IUC_LOAD_MT_001_001/~002/~003/~004
When configuring your data load or replication scenario, consider the following:
 Do not define more data transfer jobs than the number of available application server background work processes. If all available background work processes are already occupied by jobs, any other job will have to wait until a free work process becomes available. This can lead to long wait times until a new activity (for example creating triggers) can start, and can also result in significantly increased latency times for data replication.
 The number of dialog work processes in the source system corresponds 1:1 with the number of data transfer jobs in the SAP LT Replication Server system.
 Besides the work processes allocated by the data transfer jobs you need to provide additional available work processes for controller and monitoring jobs, the migration objects definition, access plan calculation or to perform configuration changes, and so on.
Sizing for SAP LT Replication Server involves determining how many work processes are required to perform the initial load of data into the target system within an acceptable timeframe, and accomplish the change capturing and the transfer of data changes to the target system within expected latency times.
Ensure that you add enough additional work processes to allow other required SAP LT Replication Server jobs to run.
Finally, you map the number of required application server work processes to their system resource consumption (CPU, memory, disc space) using the formulas provided by the SLT Sizing Guide.
With the simple formula below, you can calculate the number of required application server work processes (WPs) on the SLT Server for each active SLT configuration.
The number of required work processes can be determined by adding
 The Number of required data transfer jobs ,
 plus one background work process for Central Master (Monitoring) Job (only one per system!),
 plus one background work process for Master Controller Job,
 plus 3-5 additional empty background work processes (recommended per configuration),
 plus approx. 3 dialog work processes (recommended for each configuration).
Note: A lack of available free application server work processes can negatively affect the data load or data replication processes.
To summarize everything, the number of 'Data Transfer Jobs' must be set depending of the number of source tables, it is not the actual number of tables.
Assume that for my 100 tables I use 10 'Data Transfer Jobs' :
- The number of work processes on the SLT server would be 20. I took the simple formula of the documentation:
10 data transfer jobs ,
+ 1 background work process for Central Master (Monitoring) Job (only one per system!),
+ 1 background work process for Master Controller Job,
+ 5 additional empty background work processes (recommended per configuration),
+ 3 dialog work processes (recommended for each configuration).
- The number of dialog processes on the source server would be 10 ( equal to the number of 'Data Transfer Jobs')
Am I correct ?
Regards,
Christian
