Remote panels- server running application in log-off locked mode

I have not used remote panels before and was pondering if they would work if the server (Win Xp) running the application goes into workstation locked mode.
Company IT policy dictates that all PC's must go into locked screensaver mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate, the user must log back in. Of course any applications continue to execute normally while in locked mode.
Would another user at another PC be able to view/control the front panel of a LabVIEW exe remotely while the server running the application is in locked mode?
Thanks

The remote panel should continue to run while in locked mode. If another user wanted to open the remote panel and view it, that should be ok too. Remember that there are limits to the number of users that can be viewing a remote panel. The limit depends on how many licenses you have. info here
Because only one user can take control of the vi. If the second user wanted to take control (and the first user had control) then the second user would not be able to take control. The solution to this is to set time limits on how long a user can have control. This is a configuration setting.

What are the network requirements for the Remote Panel Server?

What are the network requirements for the Remote Panel Server?
I've been trying for a while now to setup a Remote Panel. I can connect to my computers remote panel from other computers on my LAN but nowhere else.
When ever I use the web publishing tool it gives me a URL in this format: http://Computer-Name.Corporate-Name.local:8086/VI-Name.html Apparently this means I have a local DNS server and this URL has no meaning from the public.
When I try connecting with the Operate>>Connect to Remote Panel..., I get this error message:
"Connecting to remote panel server...
Remote panel connection refused by specified server: Make sure LabVIEW Web Server is enabled on specified server"
I got the same error when I tried to host a remote panel from my laptop at home, on my Wi-Fi. Is there some network or firewall setting I'm not seting? Could it be my server or router or private network?
My goal is to be able to host Remote Panels from my laptop while I am travailing internationally, by using 4G mobile internet. Is that even passable?

Server does not support remote panels, server overwhelmed

After an unknown amount of connections to remote panels, I recieve the "server does not support remote panels" error. Often times it will further say server is overwhelmed. It seems like sometimes we can have almost 100 succesful connections without the error and sometimes just only 10.
Ive combed over all other similar posts regarding this error and most others seem to have an issue with the initial connection, not after numerous succesful connections.
This error can be resolved by restarting labview; however, restarting means interupting some physical processes that are running in our warehouse. Is there a way to locate and empty this log that appears to be overwhelming the server?

Thanks for the reply.
Using Labview 2013 Full Development on windows server 2008. IO communication done through compact field point modules. All remote computers used to access remote VIs have been loaded with the correct runtime engine. The issue seems to happen on the server end because once it happens, all remote computers get the same message, instead of one isolated computer having an issue.
There doesn't really seem to be a pattern to this error occuring(to my knowledge). Sometimes we can go a week or two without seeing it, other times, a few days. We upgraded to labview 2013 and the new server almost a year ago. This error didn't start happening until after about 4 or so months of use.
I came across this knowledgebase earlier this week and have verified that all of our settings are correct.
Thanks again for the reply!

Remote panels with the application builder

I have no experience with the remote panels, but just enabled it in the project window. Is this sufficient?
Do I have to add all VI's to the 'visible vi' list?
I have a whole bunch of VI's and pop-ups so that'll be a lot of work.
I am also wondering what 'browser access' list means. I have created an installer now including the webserver. Is there anything else I should do?
I cant seem to find a good tutorial or something for this.

Hi Faust,
Please have a look at this KB . Have alos a look at the link under this KB. With browser acces you can grant acces to your webserver; by default ecery one is allowded to connect to your webservice; you can specify in the browser acces list a IP address or a domain.

Server 2012 R2 RDS – cannot log off user session

We have a 2 server RDS RemoteApp Farm.
One server is constantly leaving user sessions in a disconnected state without the ability to kill the session (rebooting is the only way); this is happing 1-2 times per week.
Servers have been configured to kill a disconnected session after 10 minutes, but some disconnected sessions have been running for days.
Below is a screenshot of the process running for two disconnected users sessions that I could not disconnect, rebooting the server was the only way of fixing this. No error's were generated when users disconnected the session.
Is there a known fix for this?

Hi,
Did you apply session disconnected policy setting in your environment?
There are different ways for getting user log off. As you have commented that it’s happening with specific user, once check whether the user profile is not corrupted or any other related case. Also it might relates that some application or related services
is still running under user profile so that session cannot be logged off. You can also try PowerShell command to log off the user. Also with
Query user command you can find the related session name and ID and then with “Logoff user command” you can logoff the specific user.
For policy related to session setting you can check beneath article. (point 1)

Remote Panel server monitoring and control by multiple users

Hi . . . ..
I just did what is in below attached image. . . . Now I have to control as well as monitor the VI file which is in server PC. But If I supposed to use below steps(please refer image), the clients can be control the VI seperately. But the status of each client cannot be monitored by server PC. I used another way that is "Non-reentrant" option... But its provide controlling by queue manner. . . . .
My question is, is there any possible to control the server VI at a time by all clients. . . .?
Please guide me for this... I am very much thankful about this. .. .. ..

Why do remote panel server crash/stop when subvi call is done

My application crash/stops when I tries to call a subvi with remotepanel. The application isn't hevy so I can't understand why. Tried it on several computer with same result. Use Lv8.0
Grateful for some feedback on this.

Patience you have already started a new thread. Please dont dig old threads and that too unanswered ones....

I am running Windows 7. Sometimes when I try to open Firefox, I get a message that says Firefox is already running. I check task manager, no Firefox running. Have to log off then back on.

Windows 7, HP Pavilion dv3, Firefox version 4.0.1 (new 5 version freezes up often, had to use earlier version)

I rolled back to version 5 and then 4 because version 7 was slow to load and would freeze up often. The original problem started before I upgraded to version 7. How do I check to see if plug-in container.exe is listed?

Is ds designer able to run a job against a remote job server?

I looked around for a quite while and couldn't find anywhere it's mentioned that the ds designer can run a job against a job server running on another machine. To me it seems that the designer and DS Server Manager can only pick up local job servers. There is no way for they to specify the hostname of the remote machine having the job server running.
Could anybody here help me out with this problem? Our environment has restriction that developers have no local admin privilege so they can't start a local job server as a Windows service. The only solution for us is to use the remote job server running on the dedicated server. BTW, we don't use Unix/Linux at all.
thanks in advance.

yes, Designer can run job on job server that is installed on different machine, the job server machine can be Linux\Unix or Windows
for the remote job server to be visible in Desginer, you will have Register the local repository with the Remote job server
to Register a Local Repository with a Remote job Server, go to remote job server machine
open the Server Manager
In the server Manager, go to the job server window, select the job server click on edit in this window you can associate as many local repository as you want with this job server
restart the Desginer, login to the local repo that you have added to job server
click on Tools->Options
expand Designer node, click on Environment
in the Default job Server drop down list you will see the remote job server
please refer the technical maual for Adding Job server using Server Manager and also how to add repository to job server

Remote panel and selective control access through Security with DSC

Hi Everyone,
I looked around to see what labview had to offer concerning security of remote panel and all the solutions I've found only propose full access to a remote panel, or none. The login page is not an option for me as everyone on the intranet can access the remote panel for monitoring but not everyone can have control to the buttons on it.
With the DSC module, I can give securities to the different controls and it works great with the exe, if I log in or out, the controls appears or disapears. Unfortunately, with remote panels, those controls are always visibles. Furthermore, when I log in from a remote panel, all the other remote panels get logged in with the same username and priviledges. When I log out, same thing, it logs out all the other remote panels. So the last guy who logs in gives its priviledges to every one else who is monitoring the remote panel at that time. when he logs out, he logs everyone out. I used a reentrant vi hoping that this would solve the problem but it didnt.
I would like to do what my colleague does with Advantech without any problem. He has only 1 .exe is running on the server and whoever connects to it through webserver, just needs to log in and he has all the priviledges of an guest, operator, admin, etc.. with access to controls and features accordingly. All this without interfering with the other people using the remote panels. This colleague has always been doubtful about the capabilities of labview to do SCADA systems and uptil now, I've been able to prove him wrong.. please help me continue
There are workarounds, using remote desktop to the server instead of webserver but it definitely is not as practical for the client and it will need quite some work to to synchronise all the exes open from the differents sessions, through the use of shared variables, binding and securities.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much for your reply Jordan.
The NI security info is on the server (local domain with groups and users), and the running exes as well. The remote panel is not supposed to be accessed by internet, at least not yet, but just by the computers on the network and thinkline computers who are directly connected to the servers. the remote panel is accessed through the simple url: http://serverip/Application.html
There is no problem with accessing the remote panel of the exes on the server from another computer on the network. But there are several security issues when logging in and out with the NI Security Programmatic Login and logout VIs through the remote panel..
The 1st problem occurs when several people access the remote panel at the same time. In my setup, everyone is allowed to check what's happening on the front panel of the running exe, go through the tabs, check the graphs, the tables, etc.. , but only the administrators and the operators can send commands to the machines and the production line through this remote panel. Hence some buttons are accessible to all users, while others are only accessible depending on the privileges of the person logged in.
So like I said in the 1st post, I configured some buttons to be accessible only by the users of the admin group. When the exe runs, it's perfect, if I log in and out with an admin account, the buttons appears and disappear accordingly. But when I check the remote panel, those admin buttons are always visible, even if I am logged in as a guest or even logged out. Is it because the remote panel only needs minimum runtime engine and doesnt use the dsc runtime engine? if so, any work around?
Furthermore, another big problem is that if I login as an admin in one remote panel, then login as an guest in another remote panel, and then logout back from the first remote panel, it says: "User Domain/Guest logged out". Hence, my second login logged out my first user. I can actually see the admin buttons appearing and disappearing on the exe when login as admin and guest from the different remote panels.
So that's it, I would like my remote panel to behave like a normal scada system, with one exe running in the back (on the server) and with all the users accessing it through web server. Several users might/will access the remote panel at the same time and each of the users have a login/password that grant some of them the privileges to take some actions while giving the others only monitoring rights.
I hope that I have been more clear in this 2nd post,
Thank you again for your time.
Best Regards,
Tom.

How can I disable messages generated by Remote Panel?

I created an application (EXE) to server its panel to other network clients.
I used the Tools > Web Publishing Tool to generate a HTML code to create two different web pages to access this application using Web server:
- Embedded (for some users who need visualize the panel in real time).
- Monitor (to display panel snapshots to users updated every 1 second).
I don't need anyone controlling the remote panel, so I used this option:
Tools > Options > Web Server: Browser Access and checked Allow Viewing (not controlling) for every client connected.
Ok, both are working fine. But it a user try to Request control of VI on the Embedded page (right click in the remote panel), the application running in the server displays a message: Denied control request from XXX: Check permissions.
The embedded page stills working fine, but in the Monitor page that message appears in a box (see attached picture below)..
Is there a way to disable all messages in the remote panel? I realized that I need to access the computer where the application EXE is running to close the message.
I'm thinking in two solutions:
- Unable the right click menu in the embedded page to avoid clients request control of the remote panel.
- Run a code in the application to erase messages generated.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Klein

Hi Dpcamargo,
I'm already using monitor with a delay of 1 second and this doesn't seems real time like remote panel visualization.
But you sent me a good tip: use java code to cancel right clicks at all....
I will try this solution.
Hey, we are both brazilians! So, thank you so much, Dpcamargo.

Remote Panel Over Internet

Hi All,
Our office PCs r connected internally through LAN. Each PC set to get Automatic IP address. One PC is connected with external Modem. We have a laptop with internal modem. I am dialing the modem and connect to the PC with modem. Now after connection is established I try to use Remote panel then gives error like "network error" and "Remote Panel server not delivered specified vi" though the require vi is in memeory. I had also tried out by specifing the IP address but the same error repeats.
Please let me know how could I solve this problem.
Thanks.
Vishal

I have never run across this before, but I will throw out some ideas to get it rolling. Is this a fire wall issue? I assume because you are dialing in that it is not part of the network. Are you able to ping the computer that is hosting the remote panel? Are the run-time and LabVIEW development versions the same?

Opening a Remote Panel of the Top Level vi for an executable

Hello Everyone
I was wondering how you would open up a remote panel for the top-level vi in an executable?
I have created a LabVIEW application and have tested opening the remote panel when it is running in the full labview development suite - this all works fine. I simply go operate>connect to remote panel and enter the server address, the port (8000) and the vi name using the path "My Project.lvproh/My Computer/main.vi" format.
However, if I then build this application into an executable I do not seem to be able to open a remote panel - it might be that I am just entering the VI name incorrectly.
with VI name = "main.vi" or with VI name = "C:\builds\main.exe\main.vi" and the exe. running I get the error:
Connecting to remote panel server...
Requested VI is not loaded into memory on the server computer
However I am not sure how else I would enter it.
The main.ini has the following configuration:
server.app.propertiesEnabled=True
server.ole.enabled=True
server.tcp.acl="0800000008000000"
server.tcp.enabled=True
server.tcp.paranoid=True
server.tcp.port=6363
server.tcp.serviceName=""
server.vi.access=""
server.vi.callsEnabled=True
server.vi.propertiesEnabled=True
WebServer.Enabled=True
WebServer.TcpAccess="c+*"
WebServer.ViAccess="+*"
DebugServerEnabled=True
DebugServerWaitOnLaunch=False
Both machines have LabVIEW 2011 Profesional Development System SP1 on so I do not think it is a limited remote access licence issue.
Any suggestions as to where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Cheers
John
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It appears that you can infact use remote panels within an executable.
The problem I had was that I had left the web server port for the remote panels the same as the LabVIEW development environment. That meant that the main LabVIEW web server was getting in the way of the web server that was associated with my built application.
With the application's web server on a different port and the VI in memory (and the file in a library/directory external to the exe if it is not the top level VI), you just need to specify the VI name such as main.vi .
