Problem with report generation: incorrect VI icons

Hello,
I'm working on a LabVIEW project (8.5.1) which includes a certain number of VIs (500). I have created a little LabVIEW application to produce automatically a HTML documentation of the project.
The problem I have, is that, from time to time the document contains bad icons but only for a few VIs and not always the same...
I had a look to ReportDocExtension.llb and found that the VI which is called Generate_pseudo_unique_filename.vi was a bit strange. I think that this VI, if it is called suficently rapidly could, from time to time, generate identical file names.
Has someone experienced the same problem? Is it a known bug?
Thank you by advance for your answer.

known issues are listed on ni.com
hope this helps
More precisely where can this be found on ni.com?
I think the problem I mentioned seems like a bug (still in LV2010). See attached VI which shows that the name generated by Generate_pseudo_unique_filename.vi is "pseudo unique" as suggested in the title but not unique as suggested in the comment..
So that, if you generate programatically a HTML report it is possible that you "loose" one .jpg file corresponding to a VI icon (typically the icon of VI n°1 can be named LVtemp0340086242585c.jpg and the icon of VI n°2 can have the same name). In this case, in the generated report, the icon of VI n°2 is correct but the icon of VI n°1 corresponds to the icon of VI n°2!
Now that I have found the origin of my problem, I'll set up a workaround.

Problem with Reporte Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 2010

When I use the Report Generation Toolkit (LabVIEW 2010), and Office 2010, the tables generated are bad.
In office 2007 in the tables are correct.
Someone can help me solve this problem?

The solution referenced in your post does not actually workas far as I can tell... at least for LV2011 and Office2010 on Win7
Am I missing something here?

Problem with Report Generation in TestStand 3.0

While using On-the-Fly Test Report Generation capabilities in TestStand 3.0, the PC become very sluggish and occasionally there are error messages containing an error code of -17000 and the statment, "Out of Memory". The error dialog usually appears while attempting to run the "reportgen_html.seq" file. Do you have any suggestions as to how we may correct this problem?

Hi
The test which you trying to run could potentially be leaking memory. I would suggest that you do the following.
1. Run the tests without report generation and result collection. Monitor the memory usage of your test using either taskinfo2000 or PerfMon and monitor your application.
To turn off result collection go the configure-> station options-> general tab -> Check disable result recording for all Sequences.
To turn off report generation -> configure-> report options-> and check disable report generation
If you tests still give a out of memory error then potentially the tests are leaking memory. Also if you see an increase in memory usage when running your tests then you could potentially be leaking memory in the tests
If your application
does not give errors then I would turn on result collection and keep report generation disabled and check if you get errors.
If you get memory errors then you just might need more RAM to store all the results.
If you still do not get any errors then I would turn on report generation and result collection and set the report to txt. If you still do not get any errors.
If you get errors then you might just need more memory to generate the report and display it.
I hope this help
Regards

Problem with report generation toolkit when installed new office 2010

Dear all, I had LabView 8.6.1 and report generation toolkit for MSoffice 2003 perfectly working in my laptop.
Now I have added MSoffice 2010 and report generation toolkit does not work anymore since it is linked to new office.
How can I inform Labview to link report generation toolkit to the old MSoffice 2003?
regards
Max

The Report Generation Toolkit is ActiveX based. When you install the newest version of Office it registers the ActiveX server for that software, which the toolkit adapts to and uses.
Uninstalling Office 2010 would solve the issue, otherwise you will need to look at unregistering the 2010 component of Office ActiveX - but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Problem with report generation

Hello,
I get no results on the report. The header information is there but non of the body. Any word on what might be the problem ?
Regards,
Ayman

Hi,
Maybe you have set the MainSequence to 'Disable Recording for all steps' in the Sequence properties.
Or
Set the Filering on to somthing like 'Passed/Done/Skipped'. with all tests passing you would only get the header and footer.
Can You post your sequence file.

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

LabVIEW VI with Report Generation Toolkit elements in a TestStand sequence does not run with a LabVIEW 8.5 Run-Time Engine

Hi all,
I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1. I have done a TestStand sequence with a VI in it, which uses Report Generation Toolkit elements. On my machine I am using LabVIEW and TestStand with a Development System license. On the other machine I am using TestStand with a Base Deployment license and I have chosen the LabVIEW 8.5 Run-Time Engine in the Adapter Configuration. Everything is running well except of this VI with Report Generation Toolkit elements. The error message is showing that the VI is not executable. It works well only after I have installed LabVIEW with an Evaluation license and chosen LabVIEW 8.5 Development System in the Adapter Configuration.
I have found other posts and a document in the KnowledgeBase with a similar problem: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8A0E6274D9BD7B1986256F62006AD402?OpenDocument But I am not using EXE files in my sequence, so I don't know how to solve mine. Anybody has an idea?

Hello guys,
thank you very much for your answers!
@Ruediger:
I tried to follow the instruction for Method 2 in the mentioned document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F3DC40A6E3F3B25B862570AD005D1D3D?OpenDocument, but the steps on my machine are different starting from step 4. After I click "Continue..." in step 3, I dont get a window, the system just makes a new folder with the same VI.
To be honest, I am new to LabVIEW and have some difficulties at this time. What I understood from your reply is, that I need to make a LLB-File, where the files from Report Generation Toolkit are in!?
@GovBob:
I was following the instruction in the document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9E00E7EFE0635E678625734600779EFE, but it wasnt working. Can you please tell me how I can check if the VI Server is installed and running on the machine?
I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1 on my machine, on the deploy machine there is TestStand 4.1.1. The version of my Report Generation Toolkit is 1.1.2.
Kind regards, Roman

Error -2146827284 with report generation 1.1.4

Hi. Im working with Report Generation 1.1.4 and I was testing it for exporting data to an excel book. I was making some vi's to learn how to use it and do what I need it for. I need to take two non constant numeric values and save them in an excel table of two columns and graph them. The error comes when I transpose the original matrix, so i can have 2 columns instead of 2 rows in excel. In the picture you can also see that no graph is displayed. If anyone knows has experience doing this kind of activities between labview and excel I would appreciate some help! Thanks!

Why are you turning your array into a matrix? A matrix is not the same thing as an array. (They are related, but are not truly the same thing.)
Turn on context help and read about all the inputs into the charting function. You want to have a 2-D array. You are actually only starting off with a 1-D array. (Which you can't transpose if you wanted to because it is only 1 dimensional). Create a 2-D array of data to feed into the charting function. If you need to transpose that you can. Don't play with matrix transformations, they are rarely used and only for special math operations when they are. Wire up any other inputs to the charting function as needed. The default chart type is xlColumnClustered which I am going to guess is not truly the graph you want. You probably want an XYscatter.

Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

Hi!
I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example:
0,75 is shown as:
0,750000
but 1,25 is shown as:
1!250!000
My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Isabel

Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...
Thanks,
Isabel

Problems in using Application Builder to Build a exe file with Report generation Toolkit

Hello,
It's my first time to build exe. But I have Problem when the VI have Report Generation toolkit VI.
It's no problem in VI Format , But It can't work when I build as EXE format
Can Anyone help me, and state step clearly in how to solve the problems?
Thank you!!

If the code works OK in the development system but not in an executable there are a few things you can check. The two most likely causes are:
There is an error occuring that your code isn't reporting.
There is a file path that under the executable isn't valid.
First make sure that all the error clusters are daisy-chained together in the subVI that you wrote to create and populate the excel file. Next make sure that the end of that chain goes to an indicator on the VI's front panel.
Second, make sure there are indicators on other key parameters like the path the file is trying to write to.
Third, temporarily modify the VI properties of that excel IO VI to open it's front panel when called, and rebuild your application. The next time you run the application the front panel will open when you try to write to the excel file and you should be able to see what is happening.

Problem with depreciation area (Incorrect currency exchange rate is used)

Good day to all SDN forumers!
I'm having a problem with one depreciation area that we set up. The reason why we configured this depreciation area is for us to enable to monitor all asset postings in another (group) currency aside from the local currency. We set it up in such a way that the depreciation would not post and would thus only "convert" the asset postings to group currency using the table rates in table TCURR (via OB08).
The problem is despite having defined an exchange rate for the current period, the system still picks up the exchange rate for 01/01/2001 which is incorrect. This affected all reports which displays incorrect values whenever I view the postings using the 2nd depreciation area we set up. Is there a way we can correct this?
I'd really appreciate your comments and suggestions guys. Thanks a lot and more power!

Update:
I created a new depreciation area by copying an existing area and updated some of the configuration. The problem is still there though, since the depreciation area still reflects the <b>incorrect</b> rate (similar to that of the previous depreciation area) whenever I access it using Asset Explorer. What's surprising is that even though I've already set the exchange rate (e.g. USD to EUR) to match that of the asset's capitalization / acquisition date, the posted values still do not reflect what I defined in table TCURR. Instead, it reflects the exchange rate used by the old depreciation area. Help anyone? We are already in a production client and transfer/retirement of all the assets is not an option the client would like to undertake.

Need help with report generation toolkit

I'm having a really hard time finding a solution for my problem. I'm measuring a distance and a diameter simultaneously. The outcoming values have a depency and are stored in a 2-D array. I want to export this array to an excel table and x-y-chart (distance is x and diameter y). So far I can export the data to a table, however the charts produced are useless. Can somebody please help me? I'm almost crying since I'm trying to find a solution for 3 days now.
Additionally, after one measurement is done, the user should have the possibility to do the next measurement, and the data has to be stored in the same excel file, in another worksheet. How can I do this?

Hi!
If you want a nice graph in Excel based on your data you have input there, I would recommend creating a macro that builds your graph. Read more about macro, Excel and LabVIEW here. I don't have the Report Generation toolkit, but I think you can send macros with it too.
