Missing images in Application Builder

I've updated ApplExpr from 2.2 to 3.0 and everything seems fine. However, I seem to be missing images. Situation:
Oracle 10gR1, using apache as db_2 and database as db_1.
When I access ApplExpr from an external machine such as my personal PC, I see everything fine when I go to edit a page in my application.
When I access ApplExpr from the server machine, and go to edit a page, I don't get the display for editing. Instead I see the "page, view, go" line and beneath that three "boxed" headings: Page Rendering, Page Processing and Shared Components.
My dad.conf is pointing at the correct image directory.
I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
TIA,
George Sundell

Hi George,
Have you cleared the browser cache on the machine where it is not working?

Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi- Dist Build LLB Image.vi- Dist Build App Image.vi- Build Application.vi

When trying to build an application using labview 7.1 and windows XP, I get the error
Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi->Dist Build LLB Image.vi->Dist Build App Image.vi->Build Application.vi
I've tried the crtl-shift-run as well as a mass compile and I still get the error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Hopefully this thread, or this KB article might help.
It seems like this could come from a lot of things, but there's suggestions in those which might lead you in the right direction

HT2506 How do I drag an image around in the view, once it's magnified larger than the viewing area? I can imagine a simple "hand" tool like in Adobe PDF Reader doing this, but it's oddly missing in this application, quite a shame.

@Csound1 how is my mac relevant? I'm talking about software not hardware.
@Kurt Lang sorry, I composed the message when looking at "Preview" application help on this site, the fact that it missed the context here, is another issue I have with Apple's "famous" UI/UX design...
So for the record, I'm talking about the "Preview" app that comes bundles with Max OSX.

During an application build I received an error 7 for a missing source NI vi 1d linear evaluation.vi

During an application build, I got "Error 7 occurred at c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\vi.lib\Analysis\8numerc.llb\1D Linear Evaluation.vi - source does not exist".
This existed in Labview 5.1.1. Was it deleted in 6.0?

No, this VI is in the following location "Functions >> Analyze >> Mathematics >> Array Operations>>1D Linear Evaluation.vi"
Perhapse this in a package (Advanced Analysis) that is not included in your version of LabVIEW. You may need to upgrade to get these VIs, or you can copy them over from your Labview 5.1.1 installation.

Application builder missing files

Hi all,
I'm new to LabView and I'm trying to deploy an application as an executable. I'm running LabView 2009 on Win XP Pro. I have the application builder and ran the application builder tutorial. The tutorial worked fine, but doing the same steps on my project that calls sub-VIs from several different libraries didn't work. I'm not trying to build an installer yet, just a stand alone executable running on a machine with the LabView run time framework already installed. I'm not calling anything by reference, all sub-VIs are called explicitly.
The VI I'm trying to deploy works fine running in LabView. Application builder successfully generates an executable. When the executable is run, it pops up a dialog looking for a bunch of sub-VIs. I attached a copy of the executable prompting me for a sub-VI contained in vi.lib
First, is there a user's manual or something like that for Application Builder? LabView Help describes how to create a stand alone executable but doesn't describe all the settings in detail. I probably just have one of the settings wrong.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on what to try next?
Thanks in advance for your help.

LV2011SP1
I have been developing in the directory
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\user.lib
The source code is located in a subfolder in the "user.lib" folder
The builds go into the destination subfolder "user.lib\builds"
The executable built returns an error when it is run. It can't find one of the subvis.
The subvi in question is listed under the dependencies for the main vi in the project.
I copied the devlopmentto a new location, namely
C:\Users\Me\Documents\LVcode\builderErrorTestFolder
The executable built within this new project ran without error on the development machine, but the executable built with the installer in this project will not run on a non-development machine. In the case of the executable installed on a non-development machine, the error is a "can't find vis" error, but it is limited to NI_AALPROLvlib files and NI_AALBaseLvlib files
What could be the problem?

Application Builder Icon Missing

Hi,
I am a newbie. I have brought up apex 4.1.1 on aws RDS Oracle 11g and have logged in as INTERNAL. My problem is I have been searching for Application Builder menu item or icon so i can start building applications but I can't find it.
I only see Home, Manage Instance, Manage Requests, Manage Workspace, and Monitor Activity.
kindly advice me on how to get the application builder icon, or do I need to install something else?
Many thanks

With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Missing Buttons in Blueprint Application Builder

Hi,
I am using Blueprint Application Builder to customize the iViews for SAP CRM Business Package.
When BAB is launched, I can only see Application and View dropdown list and the Load Application button. That is all, no other buttons for me to save or launch Designer. What could be wrong?? I have already activated service CRM_BSP_BAB_DSS and CRM_BSP_BAB_DIS.
After selecting a Application and iVew, I click on the Load Application. The preview of the iView appears but no other buttons can be seen on the left panel except Load Application.
Any clue??
Does anyone know where can I download the BAB and CRM Designer documentation?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Thanks so much for the reply. Can you mail me the documents at [email protected] or [email protected]??

Running LabVIEW 2012 Application builder get message about missing LabVIEW 2013 media

I am trying to make an installer using LV 2012 (Latest version for which I have a license-- Installed from Developer Suite 2013, latest disks I have.)\
I am asking the installer to include Run Time Engine 2012 SP1 f5-- Only choice presented to me for a 2012 RTE
When I Try to build an installer, I get a message asking for a LV 2013 media path, which I don't have...
Any ideas on why this is happening or how to get around it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Peter:
Sorry for the long delay getting back to you, I've been off on other projects for the past few.
I have NImax 5.4.0f0 on my computer. Other than that, I don't see any stand-alone DAQmx-- mostly I configure the DAS equipment programatically from within LabVIEW.
Attached is a screen shot of the NILM display. You'll note that there's a LV2013 in addition to the LV2012 SP1. Not sure why the 2013 shows up in the LM-- don't recall ever loading it, not even a demo version, and what I'm using is the 2012 SP1.
Since my last post, a few other peculiarities with the app builder-- last week I had a period where it would only run the application builder once to make an installer. After that I'd get an error message of some sort (I neglected to make a note of the exact message-- If I see it again I'll make a note of it.) In order to run the app builder a second time, I had to shut down the computer & reboot.-- it then let me run the app builder one more time, then reboot needed to run it a third time.
I also had a peculiarity where when I ran the installer on the target machine, it would give a "no software will be installed" message. I am pretty sure that this was unrelated to the other problems-- A simple user error, that I wasn't updating the revision number of the exe application, so when the installer went to install on the target it thought the version on the target was the same as the version that I wanted to install? But I mention it in case it has some bearing on the problem.
Client testing the application reports that it is ready to go, so I'll be attempting to build on final (for this release) clean installer version later today-- I'll let you know how that goes.
Thanks for your attention, and again, appologies for the delay in responding to your questions.
Best regards, Louis

IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
Any ideas?

The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

Custom icon in application builder

I am trying to create an executable with custom icon using Application Builder in LabVIEW.
I converted a .png image to .ico for the icon, but when I select that .ico file as a custom icon, I get the following message:
"The selected file doesn't contain all of the needed icons. Without them, your application will show an incorrect icon in some views.
Missing icons:
32X32, 16 color
16X16, 16 color."
Any comments\suggestions on how to get custom icon would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It's possible that you don't have both 16x16 and 32x32 icons in 16 bit color. When you convert the .png to an .ico, see if there is an option to convert into necessary ico images that you need.
As a way to double check this without using application builder, load the VI : <vi.lib>\Platform\icon.llb\Read Icons for Application.vi
It will show you the different icons that are read from the .ico file.

Application Builder and Closing

Hi
Already, another problem has arisen. I have developed a simple VI with no big thing inside. I am using an event structure for handling button presses. To quit my application, I have one button, labeled Quit (who would've guessed) which quits the application. I simply wired that button to the quit terminal of the event structure (ok, to the quit terminal of the while structure around the event structure).
I have also built this application with the Application Builder into a .exe file. I managed to get that Run/Pause buttons away. by checking the appropriate checkboxes inside AppBuilder. But now, what happens is as follows:
* I quit my application by using the red X of the window - everything closes down fine, the window disappears *perfect*
* I quit my application by using the button - the program stops, but the run button appears.
How can I avoid that behaviour?
Thanks for your advice

There's a function in Application Control which is used to close LV once everything's done executing. Be careful when using it while developing, as it will close all open vi's. Granted you get the option to save them, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference with Application Builder

Using Labview 5.1, I am building an application where all the vi's are placed in a single .LLB file. I have one top level vi (with sub-vi's), and one vi that is opened by the Open VI command. The program runs fine with labview installed. I want to make an executable file. I select the top level vi and select the vi that is opened by the Open VI command as a dynamically loaded file. I get an error when I attempt to build the file.
"Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> Dist Build App Image.vi -> Build application.vi"

Dear Sir;
There are two things that are good to try:
First, create the application in a folder that is closer to the root directory (e.g., c:\myApp). There is a limit to the length (or depth) of the path name to your application's target directory, so, if you are choosing a too long path you might get an error.
Second: The Application Builder reads certain information from the VI in order to determine how to build the executable. To avoid possible errors, either in the build process or in the built executable, make sure the VIs are LabVIEW 5.1 VIs. You can convert your VIs to LabVIEW 5.1 VIs by using the Mass Compile feature (File >> Mass Compile) in LabVIEW before you build your executable. The Mass Compile feature will allow you to select either a directory or a LabVIEW
.llb file to compile.

How can I use a shared library made with the application builder?

Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 7.1 running on Slackware 10.1 (kernel 2.4.29) and I am trying to call a graph display from a C program that I use for debugging VME access from a VMIVME controler. So using the application builder I built the VI as a shared library (graph.vi -> graph.so) containing a function called "graph". In my main program the call to the dlopen fails with the error: "graph.so: undefined symbol: UninitLVClient". When I examin graph.so with nm I see that UninitLVClient and other LabVIEW functions are indeed undefined and using ldd shows that graph.so has dependencies only on libc.so.* and *linux*.so.* but not on LabVIEW related stuff. Those functions are defined in the liblv.so that's in the cintools directory but I have no idea if the user is supposed to use that.
So I think I am missing an important concept here. Can somebody help or direct me to some documentation (I found lots of information about how to link external code to LabVIEW but nothing about how to link LabVIEW code to an external program)?

Thanks Watermann,
your message has been very useful so now I am linking to the proper library but I still have problems when trying to load dynamically the shared library produced with LabVIEW. It is strange that I could successfully load the lvrt library at loading time but it does not work when I am loading the library at execution time.
I made a small LabVIEW program that prints a hello window and I am calling it from a C program. In the first program main.c I am linking to the lvrt library at loading time and it works but in the second one I am linking dynamically at execution time and it does not work. For my work I need to be able to load code done in LabVIEW at execution time. Any help is appreciated!
Program main.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include "hello.h" // got this from the LabVIEW builder, i.e. when I made the hello.so
int main(void)
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
hello();
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main.c, i.e. linking shared library lvrt when loading main program:
gcc -Wall -I /usr/local/lv71/cintools/ -o main main.c hello.so -l lvrt
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been defined and exported:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
IT WORKS!
Program main2.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include
int main(void)
void * h_lvrt;
void * h_hello;
void (* hello)(void);
char * error;
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
// open LabVIEW RunTime shared library
// in my computer located at /usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so
h_lvrt = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
printf("error : could not open LabVIEW RunTime library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// open hello shared library
// in my computer located at /home/darss/lv_call/hello.so
h_hello = dlopen("hello.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not open hello library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// get function hello from library hello.so
hello = dlsym(h_hello, "hello");
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not get the hello function\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// call hello function
hello();
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main2.c, i.e. dynamically linking library lvrt at execution of main2 program:
gcc -Wall -o main2 main2.c -l dl
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH still defined and exported.
IT DOES NOT WORK!
Program output:
Hello from C!

Display Bug in LV 8.20 Application Builder

There seems to be a minor bug in the displaying of the "VI Settings" in the application builder for LabVIEW 8.20.
The problem is in an executable build spec, in the "Source File Settings" category.
Select a sub VI in the tree, then uncheck the select box for the "Remove Panel" property. Now select any other VI in the tree, then go back to the one you unchecked the "Remove Panel" box. You should see that the box is now checked.
If you don't do anything else and just select "OK, then go back into the build spec, you'll see that the property was correctly saved as unchecked. So it looks like it's just a display problem.
I've made sure the VI I try this with does not use any property nodes and it is not marked as a dynamic VI. I can reproduce this on two machines running Windows XP Pro SP2 and LabVIEW 8.20.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

In addition to Ed's
comment, I would like to say that this unexpected behaviour is not
always appearing. I have just seen following while editing this text :
I have unchecked the Remove Panel box for all the UI VIs (all are
located in the same directory). When scrolling through the different UI
VIs in the Soure File Settings, the box was unchecked for all the VIs.
Without closing the Source File Settings window, I switched to
Developer Zone and switched back to the Source File Settings. For some
UI VIs, the Remove Panel box was checked. I closed the window and
opened it again, the box was unchecked again for all the UI VIs.
But I have also encountered the case that when scrolling through the
VIs to try to uncheck this setting for all of them, it suddenly appears
checked again for a VI for which it was unchecked or unchecked for a
before checked VI.
You finally end with a very unclear situation and it may be that the
Remove Panel is really checked for some VIs. At least, in some cases,
the built EXE could not run because of missing front panels. I can't
remember the exact error messages when running the EXE but they
mentionned the name of the VI and something about missing ressources. I
opened the .lvproj file and noticed that the "Remove Panel" property of
these VIs was set to TRUE. After modifying these settings and
rebuilding the EXE, it ran as expected.
In development, I
normally uncheck "Allow user to resize window" of the UI VIs because
this setting can unfortunately not be changed when configuring the
executable. In the "Source File Settings" I uncheck all options of "Use
VI Setting" for these UI VIs and I only check "Auto-Center" (all VIs)
and "Window is Modal" (some VIs).
There is another problem with the application builder that I would like
to mention. For (at least) following settings, the development settings
of a VI will not be overwritten by the Source File Settings when
building the executable :
- Window has title bar
- Show Menu bar
- Show Toolbar
- Show Scroll Bars
This is also very annoying because you will need to change these
settings in the development environement in order to get the expected
appearance in the executable.

Several question s about runtime Engine, application builder and labview player

I am a little confused by all the options to distribute a program.
Please help bij answering (one of) the following questions:
1. Does an application built with the application builder always need the LV runtime engine? The LV runtime engine is 33 Mb to download!
2. Is there anyway to make a 'normal' executable that runs on a windows machine, without any supporting installed software?
3. What is the advantage of the labview player above the runtime Engine?
All questions refer to the latest software versions of NI software
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ferry

Yes, the runtime engine contains all the stuff that is common to all LabVIEW applications. This is not any different than e.g. the Visual basic runtime (VBrun...) or dforrt.dll for Fortran.
If you built the application, you can strip it a little bit by including the runtime with the installer and leaving out unneeded modules (see image from the 7.1 builder).
The advantage of a seperate runtime engine is that applications are very small. The runtime needs to be installed only once. On any broadband connection, 33MB is peanuts. I distribute everything without runtine, but tell people to download and install the runtime directly from NI.
(In LabVIEW 4, no runtime was needed, with the disadvantage that even the simplest program was multiple megabytes. Not an efficient solution).
(Maybe in a few years LabVIEW will be so prevalent that the LabVIEW runtime will be part of a standard OS install ;
2. Is there anyway to make a 'normal' executable that runs on a windows machine, without any supporting installed software?
No. See above.
3. What is the advantage of the labview player above the runtime Engine?
The two are quite different. The labview player is more a simple educational tool, because it lets users inspect the diagram. It is not designed for any serious application deployment.
