Problem: Using "msg" command with "System Exec.vi"

I'm attempting to write some LabView code that takes advantage of the "System Exec.vi". At the moment, I've tried using it to ping machines, return the ipconfig and run through the example code that NI provides.
I would like to use the "msg" command used on Windows operating systems to send out a message to multiple machines on our network at once. Warning them we're about to update a program and they should log-off, things like that.
I tried using the "msg" command in LabView keeps returning errors. I also wrote a quick batch file as follows:
@echo on
cd c:\Windows\System32\
msg.exe /server:localhost * test
When I launch the batch from windows, it executes. When I launch it from LabView (using the System Exec.vi) it fails.
Potential Quirks:
I discovered in a different location that in order for a machine to receive these messages they need to have a registry entry in:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" and have a DWord called "AllowRemoteRPC" = 1.
Note that "/server:localhost" could be "/server:anycomputer" and the " * " is used as a wildcard which sends a message to anyone who is logged onto that machine. Also note that "test" is the message to be sent.
Any ideas why I'm having a problem?
tl;dr: "System Exec.vi" won't run the "msg" command. Why is this?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

-> What versions of labview and windows are you on?
LabView 2010 and Windows 7.
-> Have you ever sent any commands out, or is msg the only one you've tried so far?
I've successfully used the 'ping' command and also returned a standard 'help' command to LabView.
-> Finally, in tools>>options, you may need to change your access settings under VIserver and Webserver.
My VI server settings are allowing everything except "Show VI Scripting Functions, properties and methods"
I have nothing configured for a web server, since I didn't plan on using it for this. Unless it has some sort of connection that I am missing.
I'm attempting a work-around where LabView will generate a batch file to run from the desktop instead, since it seems that something is getting lost in translation between LabView and the command-prompt.

  • Problem using SQL Loader with ODI

    Hi,
    I am having problems using SQL Loader with ODI. I am trying to fill an oracle table with data from a txt file. At first I had used "File to SQL" LKM, but due to the size of the source txt file (700MB), I decided to use "File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" LKM.
    The error that appears in myFile.txt.log is: "SQL*Loader-101: Invalid argument for username/password"
    I think that the problem could be in the definition of the data server (Physical architecutre in topology), because I have left blank Host, user and password.
    Is this the problem? What host and user should I use? With "File to SQL" works fine living this blank, but takes to much time.
    Thanks in advance

    I tried to use your code, but I couldn´t make it work (I don´t know Jython). I think the problem could be with the use of quotes

    if retVal == 1 or retVal > 2:
    raise 'SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details '
    And the error message is:

  • General Inquiry Regarding Error Handling with System Exec.vi

    I have a sub vi that uses the System Exec.vi to send SMS messages when triggered. I am confused as to how the error handling works and why all of the errors seem to go to the "standard error" vs the "Error out". The reason I am interested is because I am trying to interrupt the error out of another script to execute a command if error=true.
    I have intentionally created an error to test this, however it does not seem that the signal is ever being sent to the error out, only to the standard error.
    Any help/explanation as to how this works would be greatly appreciated.

    The Facebook discussion board is just a pilot and that functionality is not available yet (as to my knowledge). You will have to use the actual forum thread to add attachments. You can click the arrow just to the right of thread topic in the Facebook thread and that will take you to the ni.com/forums thread. Or you can navigate here:
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/General-Inquiry-Regarding-Error-Handling-with-System-Exec-vi/m-p/246...
    Having a look at your VI would help to clarify the error handling issue.

  • Run a program with system exec.vi

    hi
    I've got a problem with system exec.
    When I launch a simple program like :  c:\windows\notepad.exe it works very well.
    But when I launch a program with parameters, it doesn't.
    here is the command line:   c:\bmd.exe a.bmd a.txt ffffffff ffffffff  
    When I put this command line in a cmd windows it works perfectly. It don't understand...

    Hi Julesjay,
    I found out that if the command string didn't include the path of the executable (start) the program would fail (at least with matlab executables) So make sure the path of the exe is included in the command string.

  • Problem using CORBA clients with RMI/EJB servers..!!!???

    Hi,
    I have a question on using EJB / or RMI servers with CORBA clients using
    RMI-IIOP transport, which in theory should work, but in practice has few
    glitches.
    Basically, I have implemented a very simple server, StockTreader, which
    looks up for a symbol and returns a 'Stock' object. In the first example, I
    simplified the 'Stock' object to be a mere java.lang.String, so that lookup
    would simply return the 'synbol'.
    Then I have implemented the above, as an RMI-IIOP server (case 1) and a
    CORBA server (case 2) with respective clients, and the pair of
    client-servers work fine as long as they are CORBA-to-CORBA and RMI-to-RMI.
    But the problem arises when I tried using the RMI server (via IIOP) with the
    CORBA client, when the client tries to narrow the object ref obtained from
    the naming service into the CORBA idl defined type (StockTrader) it ends up
    with a class cast exception.
    This is what I did to achieve the above results:
    [1] Define an RMI interface StockTrader.java (extending java.rmi.Remote)
    with the method,
    public String lookup( String symbol) throws RMIException;
    [2] Implement the StorckTrader interface (on a PortableRemoteObject derived
    class, to make it IIOP compliant), and then the server to register the stock
    trader with COS Naming service as follows:
    String homeName =....
    StockTraderImpl trader =new StockTraderImpl();
    System.out.println("binding obj <" homeName ">...");
    java.util.Hashtable ht =new java.util.Hashtable();
    ht.put("java.naming.factory.initial", args[2]);
    ht.put("java.naming.provider.url", args[3]);
    Context ctx =new InitialContext(ht);
    ctx.rebind(homeName, trader);
    [3] Generate the RMI-IIOP skeletons for the Implementation class,
    rmic -iiop stock.StockTraderImpl
    [4] generate the IDL for the RMI interface,
    rmic -idl stock.StockTraderImpl
    [5] Generate IDL stubs for the CORBA client,
    idlj -v -fclient -emitAll StockTraderImpl.idl
    [6] Write the client to use the IDL-defined stock trader,
    String serverName =args[0];
    String symList =args[1];
    StockClient client =new StockClient();
    System.out.println("init orb...");
    ORB orb =ORB.init(args, null);
    System.out.println("resolve init name service...");
    org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef
    =orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
    NamingContext naming =NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
    ... define a naming component etc...
    org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
    System.out.println("narrow objRef: " obj.getClass() ": " +obj);
    StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
    [7] Compile all the classes using Java 1.2.2
    [8] start tnameserv (naming service), then the server to register the RMI
    server obj
    [9] Run the CORBA client, passing it the COSNaming service ref name (with
    which the server obj is registered)
    The CORBA client successfully finds the server obj ref in the naming
    service, the operation StockTraderHelper.narrow() fails in the segment
    below, with a class cast exception:
    org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
    StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
    The <obj> returned by naming service turns out to be of the type;
    class com.sun.rmi.iiop.CDRInputStream$1
    This is of the same type when stock trader object is registered in a CORBA
    server (as opposed to an RMI server), but works correctly with no casting
    excpetions..
    Any ideas / hints very welcome.
    thanks in advance,
    -hari

    On the contrary... all that is being said is that we needed to provide clearer examples/documentation in the 5.1.0 release. There will be no difference between the product as found in the service pack and the product found in the 5.1.1. That is, the only substantive will be that 5.1.1 will also
    include the examples.

    We currently publish an IDL example, even though the IDL programmingmodel in Java is completely non-functional, in anticipation of the support
    needs for uses who need to use IDL to talk to the Weblogic server,
    generically. This example illustrates the simplest connectivity; it does not
    address how
    to integrate CORBA and EJB, a broad topic, fraught with peril, imo. I'llnote in passing that, to my knowledge, none of the other vendors attempt
    this topic either, a point which is telling if all the less happy to hear.
    For the record then, what is missing from our distribution wrt RMI-IIOPare a RMI-IIOP example, an EJB-IIOP example, an EJB-C++. In this you are
    correct; better examples are forth coming.
    Still, I would not call our RMI-IIOP implementation fragile. I would saythat customers have an understandably hard time accepting that the IDL
    programming model is busted; busted in the sense that there are no C++
    libraries to support the EJB model, and busted in the sense that there is
    simply no
    support in Java for an IDL interface to an EJB. Weblogic has nothing to doit being busted, although we are trying to help our customers deal with it
    in productive ways.
    For the moment, what there is is a RMI (over IIOP) programming model, aninherently Java to Java programming model, and true to that, we accept and
    dispatch IIOP request into RMI server objects. The way I look at it is this:
    it's just a protocol, like HTTP, or JRMP; it's not IDL and it has
    practically nothing to do with CORBA.

    Can you give us more details about the comment below:

    Please post request to the news group...
    As I said, you must separate the idl related classes (class files and
    java
    files) from the rmi classes... in the rmic step, you must set a newtarget
    (as you did), emit the java files into that directory (it's not clearyou
    did this), then remove all the rmi class files from the class path... ifyou
    need to compile more classes at that point, copy the java files to theidl
    directly is you must, but you can not share the types in any way.
    I fear that as soon as the call to narrow succeeds, the remainingapplication will fail to work correctly because it is too difficult otuse
    an idl client in java to work.

    I suspect, you are referring to the rmi class file when you are
    obliged
    to
    completely segregate these from the idl class files.

  • Execution of shortcuts with System Exec?

    Is it possible to execute a shortcut (typical named "Shortcut to nnnn") with System Exec.vi?

    No it isn't because shortcuts are not executable. Shortcuts are files which can be interpreted by the windows explorer.
    You can run a shortcut via the shell execute function. Attached is a VI which will call this function. In "Dateiname" you have to supply the filename with extension. In "Verzeichnis" you have to supply the folder where the file is. You can set the verb to "open" which will run the application and "print" which will cause the application to print the file if it can. "Rückgabe" is the return from the shell execute function.
    You can use each file extension to start the registered application for the file. If you give a file with the name Test.vi you will start LabVIEW in the same way you will start it like you have double clicked th
    e file in the explorer.

  • How to capture keyboard strokes while focus is on an external app. Opened with system exec

    Hi to the Forum,
    I have an application that runs an external app. Through system exec, while this application is open the user needs to input a 6 digit serial number using the keyboard, I need to capture in parallel that information on my main VI in order to perform some information validations, such as the six digits were entered, the serial number is not repeated etc. I have read other post about the same issue but did not found a practical way to achieve a solution, please help with an example of how to do that as I'm on the final stage of the project.
    Thanks in advance for your time and help.

    Hi MRDK,
    You can/have to use Connectivity>>Input Device Control palette functions.
    Attached is the simple example.

    Hey there ;
    I am guessing you are using the command: SnippingTool or SnippingTool.exe, just as you would use mspaint; but it is giving you Error 2; this is a Windows Issue more than a LabVIEW one, ,you can try using command:
    C:\Windows\Sysnative\snippingtool.exe;
    it worked for me; i found this info in the KB below.

    Good luck

  • Close a notepad window in labview after opening it with system exec

    Is there a way to close a notepad window within Labview after opening the window using the System Exec function?
    Also can Labview send characters to Notepad so they show up in its window?

    You can send a quit message to another window by using one of the VIs in a collection of windows interaction VIs called winutil32 (or something similar), but you will have to know the window name. Try searching for it on this site.
    You could probably also use the windows PostMessage function to send characters to another window, but that would require learning how to work with DLLs in LV, reading up on the function at the MSDN site and implementing it. Another, more simple but less secure, way is to use the windows Keybd_Event function to simulate keyboard clicks. If the notepad window has the focus, it will receive those clicks. Try searching this site or google for things like "Keybd_Event LabVIEW" or "simulate keyboard".
    Try to take over the world!

  • Open a *.exe applicatio​n in LABVIEW with system exec function.

    Greetings,
    I would like to be able to lauch a *.exe application and open a specific file within my labview vi. The trick is to avoid using active X control at all cost. I would like to use the system exec function but I couldn't quite get it to work.
    Let's assume that I would like to lauch wordpad.exe from my local drive. What are the params I need to pass? Thanks.

    You have to type in the command line of the System exec vi the name of the executable and eventually its path.
    Look at the attached vi that launches Wordpad as you asked.

  • Problem using sql command line

    Hello!
    I do have some problems with using the command line for INSERT statements. When I perform insert statements the data of these statements are lost as soon as I close the command line. Other statements like SELECT or CREATE TABLE work properly.
    any idea?
    regards
    D.

    I do have some problems with using the command line
    for INSERT statements. When I perform insert
    statements the data of these statements are lost as
    soon as I close the command line. Other statements
    like SELECT or CREATE TABLE work properly.
    Have you run "COMMIT", after insert statement ??
    You need to run "commit" (preferable) or exit (Oracle explicit commit on exit).
    You might have close the sqlplus window without running above command.
    See following thread for explanation with example

  • Problems using XML DB with Schema

    Hi,
    I am attempting to use Java code running on WebLogic Server 10.3 to insert some XML documents into an Oracle Database (11gr1) and have them ‘shredded’ into columns, as the documentation claims is possible.
    I registered the XML Schema with Oracle using SQL*Plus, and have verified that tables and types are being built as expected. (Partial details below if needed.)
    I am able to insert records into the table, using XMLType, but they do not appear to be shredded in such a way that we can perform relational queries on them. References I found on the Oracle web site and others implied that if the XMLType is created with a schema associated, the insert will perform the shredding.
    When I attempt to create the XMLType with a schema in either of the two ways below, I get SQLExceptions.
    xml = XMLType.createXML(conn,doc.toString(), schema, true, true);
    Or
    xml = xml.createSchemaBasedXML(schema); // after a successful XMLType.createXML(conn, doc.toString());
    The most recent error is java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation (full stack trace along with the doc.toString() is below).
    How can I get more insight into what is causing this problem? Is there a more appropriate way to persist XML documents into Oracle relational tables? Is there some sample code/tutorial I can use that shows how to do this?
    Thank you,

    Thanks - I have been fighting with another problem for the past few days, but am getting back to this now...
    I think the second link you sent helped me realize that the particular error came while using the 'thin' driver; I had other problems when I used the OCI driver... I'll try it again and see, now that I'm using a container managed datasource...
    I registered the schema in SQL*Plus using the command:
    BEGIN
    DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.registerURI(
    'http://foo.org/mySchema',
    '/home/foo/mySchema.xsd',
    LOCAL=>TRUE, GENTYPES=>TRUE, GENBEAN=>FALSE, GENTABLES=>TRUE);
    END;
    Everything created, was created from that command. I did use xdb annotations, but perhaps I didn't use enough of them...
    In this simple example (I have more complicated ones) there are only the two attributes; I've been hoping that I would be able to use normal sql statements, e.g.
    SELECT * FROM objecthandle WHERE objectuid='objecthandle_301';
    and get back either the XML or a resultset -- I'm less picky about that right now.
    I've been unable to find good reference material for this query; any advice will be appreciated.

  • How to Launch a "setup.exe" with LabVIEW app? No luck with System Exec.vi

    I've got an application that I'm trying to update with a separate LabVIEW application (the "Updater"). It's the "Check for Updates" capability you see on other major apps.
    Here's the glitch: When the Updater tries to launch "setup.exe" using "System Exec.vi", The installer seems to catch the attempt and pops a dialog titled "Windws XP Setup" saying "Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components".  The install does not begin and the installer closes (if it was ever open!).
    Running the same installer by double-clicking the "setup.exe" file from windows runs just fine.
    Here's the question: "How can a LabView app launch an installer?" 

    Could you show the code.
    Look at the path where you want to run the code.
