Running Time and Connected Noises

I am wondering if there is a maximum time limit I should run my laptop, because it gets really hot on the bottom and today it is making funny humming noises like something behind the speakers is vibrating. I think that it's because I used it to aggressively for too long yesterday, but it was only abou 2 or 3 hours. Does anyone have some good insight for the problem?

Hi, Liza. Welcome to the Discussions.
Your question is really hardware-related and should be posted on the MacBook Pro Discussion.
The humming noise may simply be the cooling fans running. The MacBook Pro has been notorious for heat.
If you find the bottom is hot because you are using the Mac on your lap, note that laptops are not designed for laps, which is probably why Apple calls them "portables." You can't use a laptop ergonomically with it sitting on your lap. This can also prohibit proper airflow for cooling of the laptop.
Your laptop should be placed on a smooth, hard surface while in use, e.g. a desk or table at the proper height for correct ergonomics. If you ignore proper ergonomics, you risk injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Likewise, if you use the laptop on a soft surface, it can "sink in" a bit and, depending on the model, block the airflow for cooling. For example, if you use it on a table, no tablecloth should be under the laptop.
You can learn more about proper ergonomics at Apple's Ergonomics Site.
There are Apple Retail Stores in Durham and Charlotte, so if you're near one of those, you might want to take it there for a checkup. Call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
Good luck!

You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.

Attempting to install Forms 6.0.5.0.2 (or 6.0.8.8.0) run-time and 8.1.6 client on sam

Attempting to install Forms 6.0.5.0.2 (or 6.0.8.8.0) run-time and 8.1.6 client on same NT box.
1) I attempted to install 8.1.6 client first in c:\oracle\ora81, then Forms 6 in c:\oracle\forms6. The installer (3.3.1.2.4) errors, saying forms 6 does not support a multi-home installation.
2) Attmpted to install Forms 6 first in c:\orant. Then installed 8.1.6 client in c:\oracle\ora81. After beginning installation (application user) the following Dependency message displays and the installation is canceled: "Installation cannot continue for the follwoing reason(s). [Oracle ODBC Driver is a single Oracle home product. It is already installed in location c:\oracle\ora81. Oracle provider for OLE DB is a single oracle home product. It is already installed in location c:\oracle\ora81. Oracle objects for OLE is a .... Pracle Provider for OLE is a single home ... You can either de-install these products or install the products in the same location as the single home products."
Click ok and the installation cancels.
How do I install these two products on the same box?

We had to upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.3.4 when we moved over to Forms
6.0.5.0.2 and it's working fine.
We are using Net 8 as well.

How to know last run time and who ran the query

Hi
I am doing the analysis for all the queries , their last run time and who ran the query
Since there are almost 6000 queries , is there any way to find out last run time and who ran the query
in one step or through any transaction else It would huge effort taking task to check the data in BW statistics
table for each query
Regards,
Vivek

Hi,
Statistics should be switched ON for all the queries first. You can check this in RSDDSTAT.
Statistics data is stored in BW for a specific period only. This setting can be maintained in table RSADMIN (Field : TCT_KEEP_OLAP_DM_DATA_N_DAYS). If the value for the field is 30, then 30 days old statistics will be available at any point.
Not all the queries will be ran daily. Some are ran daily, monthly and yearly depending upon User requirement.
1. You can check in RSDDSTAT_OLAP for the details you needed.
2. You can install the BI Technical Content and run the respective query for the details you needed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sunil

Custom Installer with Inno Setup (reduce size of Run-Time and VISA RT)

Hi,
we are using Inno Setup to install our Application. Up to now i include the full LabView 2009 SP1 Run-Time and the full VISA-RT
(that are 302 MB). I have also made an installer using the internal tools of LV and the setup is only 163 MB. The LV removes
some parts of the RunTime libraries.
We are using only these parts:
p0 MetaUninstaller\
p1 VC2005MSMs\
p10 NI-RPC\
p11 XercesDelayLoad27\
p12 NI-ORB\
p13 NI-DIM\
p14 NI_TraceEngine\
p15 NI-PAL\
p16 NI_Logos_XT\
p17 TDMS\
p18 MDFSupport\
p19 MKL_900\
p2 VC2008MSMs\
p20 NI_Logos\
p21 RT\
p3 NI_Certificates\
p4 NI-VISA_Runtime\
p5 LabVIEW_RT_NBFIFO_90\
p6 Service_Locator\
p7 LabVIEW_Web_Server_RTE_90\
p8 LabVIEW_WebServices_RTE_90\
p9 mDNS_Responder\
1. Is it allows to do that also using Inno Setup? I mean, am I allowd to do that? The license from
NI etc. are all included. I want to save disc space...
2. Is that wise? If not, why?
Thanks

Hello sjunge,
basically there should be no problem installing the software with Inno Setup as long as you do not violate the License Agreements.
But keep in mind that there could be dependencies between the installers you install and those you don't and you may run into trouble with the software later on
Kind regards

Hai All,
A simple question. How to measure query run time and mnitor performance? I want to see the parameters like how long it took to execute, how much space it took etc.
Thank you.

hi,
some ways
1. use transaction st03, expert mode.
2. tables rsddstat*
3. install bw statistics (technical content)
there are docs on this, also bi knowledge performance center.

Is there a way to install exe of a vi on an XP machine without LV run-time and not have to restart?

Hi,
I need to deploy an application that reads channels from a FP module for testing purposes. The problem is, I cannot restart the system I need to install this on because it is running critical control software which cannot be interrupted. The system does not have the labview run-time engine and I know installing this requires a restart of XP probably due to registering DLLs or something.
I'm using "Fieldpoint Network Read" to read from the module. The simple answer would be to simply install this on a machine on the same network that I can restart. However, I have no such luxury because I am connecting to the system in question over a long distance VPN connection and I need to be able to poll the data from the FP every 250ms which may be too much for the connection.
So basically, I need to find a way to read data from this FP in a manner similar to "FP Network Read" without restarting the system. Is there any way to do this with labview? Alternatively, I may be able to write this app using LabWindows since I know some software is already running on that machine programmed with that.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first thing I'd say is that a restart may not be necessary. I have in the past installed LabVIEW development environment and when asked I said I would restart later. Then I opened LabVIEW and started coding. I'm not sure what it thinks it needs to restart for but it may not be required.
The other thing I'd like to mention is that LabVIEW 7.1 and older can run EXEs without needing to install a run time engine. So it is possible to build a EXE in 7.1, then include some files and DLLs in the same directory as the EXE, and when it is ran it will use them. There's probably issues with talking to DAQ devices without MAX and I have no idea how you address this but it is another possibility.
Of course you already know the best answer and that is to reboot the system when most convenient.

How to dynamically validate users at run time using connection pools ?

Hi Folks
We are facing a peculiar situation . We have established connection to our
oracle 8i database using Oracle Thin driver using conenction pooling at the weblogic
server . We set up connection pools at the console to set up connections to thge
oracle 8i database. However the user name and password is always static when
we create the connection pool at the console .
How do i dynamically validate other users using the same connection pool ??
Eg - The connection pool at design time in the console uses user A and password
- passA . Now at run time lets say I prompt the user for a login screen and want
to trap the user id and apssword parameters entered by the user and use it with
the connection pool created earlier . I tried using the below code snippet :-
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("connectionPoolID", "Oracle_Thin_Driver_Pool");
props.put("user" , userId );
props.put("password",userPass);
myDriver = (Driver) Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.pool.Driver").newInstance();
conn = myDriver.connect("jdbc:weblogic:pool", props);
But always it connects to the database using the userid and password set in the
console while creating the connection pool . So how i get the connection pool
to validate my current userid and password entered through the login screen ??
Thanks in advance
Keith

Hey Bob.
So I assume you're -completely- working with built executables? You're not going to work in the editor environment to modify your projects at all?
If this is the case, then having a generic deployment phase at the beginning of the executable (with a "setting up hardware for your app" splash screen) isn't a bad idea -
Check the binary on the target, ensure it matches the binary you have on the host machine (in case you ever decide to update).
If they don't match, FTP the new file down to replace the old one.
FTP the ni-rt.ini file, ensure the startup exe is enabled and is pointing to the correct location.
If it's not enabled or not pointing to the correct startup file, modify the .INI file and FTP back to the target.
If you had to update the INI file, ask target to reboot itself. Wait 30 seconds, and wait for target to become available again.
Connect to the target. If you cannot connect, reboot target. If the target comes back and you still cannot connect to the app, notify user.
That's almost exactly how we handle installation and deployment via MAX.
The big assumption here is that the built executables were all built with the same version of LabVIEW Real-Time. If not, you'd need a system replication step in there to make sure the proper version of LabVIEW is on the target before launching the built .rtexe.

DSC 8.6.1 run-time and LV2009 executable are they working together ?

Hi All,
In my application I first deploy shared variables and when they all have depleoyed the main application starts. My deployment procedure is something like that:
0. Select first library
1. check if library is already running on SVE
2. if not deploy it
3. check next library
Most of my variables in libraries are connected to OPC variables. OPC server is located in other computer and there is a LAN network between computers. I have noticed that when I execute my application exe only few of libraries are deployed to SVE. Eg. If I remove all processes(libraries) from SVE and start my application only 7/28 libraries are deployded. If I deploy those libraries manually from LV2009 project everything is okay.
On my computer is installed LV2009 development and DSC 8.6.1 run-time. Our target is remove LV2009 immediately after we have edited and tested all our variables and libraries. Is there a potential risk that application which is made on LV2009 don't work with DSC run-time 8.6.1? Have anyone else noticed problem when deploying variables from application exe?
BR, Jim

Meg K. B. ,
It sounds like you are experiencing Time Stamp Counter (TSC) Drift as mentioned in the KB's for the AMD Multi-Core processors. However, according to this wikipedia article on TSC's, the Intel Core 2 Duo's "time-stamp counter increments at a constant rate.......Constant TSC behavior ensures that the duration of each clock tick is
uniform and supports the use of the TSC as a wall clock timer even if
the processor core changes frequency." This seems to suggest that it would be not be the case that you are seeing the issue mentioned in the KBs.
Can you provide the exact modle of the Core 2 Duo processor that you are using?

Pick a subject area at run time and create an analysis on this subject area.

We have a requirement wherein we need to create analyses at run time. We want to give the flexibility to users to pick up a subject area on which they wish to create an analysis. This will be done through a dashboard prompt. Once the user picks up a subject area from the prompt, we will create the analyses at run time based on the selected subject area.
The problem that we are facing at this point is how to create a dynamic 'FROM' clause for the analysis. As an example, consider the following scenario:
1. There is a dashboard prompt called 'Select a DataStore'. The possible values are all the subject areas in the RPD. For simplicity, lets assume there are two values DS1 and DS2.
2. If the user selects DS1, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS1;
However, if the user selects DS2, the analysis sql should be:
select <colgroup1>, <colgroup2>
from DS2;
Hence the requirement for a dynamic FROM clause.
I tried using a presentation variable in the from clause but I get the sql syntax error.
Is there a way of implementing this requirement?

To work around the license issue, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article LICREQST.EXE Requesting a License Key from an Object and download licreqst.exe. Run licreqst.exe and find "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1" under the registered controls section and click on it. The license string at the top can be passed to Licenses.Add and then you should be able to dynamically create the Measurement Studio controls. For example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Licenses.Add "CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "[Add license string from licreqst here]"
Dim slide
Set slide = Controls.Add("CWUIControlsLib.CWSlide.1", "slide")
With slide
.Top = 120
.Width = 1215
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
Creating controls like this would have an impact on performance since all calls are late bound. If you are using the Measurement Studio controls in a UserControl, though, you should not need to do this since the license would get compiled into the binary that contains the control. I don't think that you would have any problems creating your control since it would not be licensed.

Open second form at run-time (and transfer variables)

Hi,
i'm searching for a method to open a second (maybe attached) form from an existing form at run-time.
The goal would be to have a button in a form which runs a function as click event that opens the second form and transfer field values from the existing form to the new opened form.
To new form should opened in a separate Adobe Reader window because the user should have the possibility to save or print the both forms separately.

Update Text at run time and print in SAPScript

Hello Experts,
                 My requirement is to print some hard coded text in SAPScript at item level based on the quantity.
If at all the quantity is 4 then i need to print the text "Quantity" 4 times.
In script i have written the command: INCLUDE <textname> OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE E.
and i have created a text using tcode SO10 then written a subroutine to update that text.
In the subroutine i have used the Funtion Module SAVE_TEXT and FM: COMMIT_WORK to updated the text.
Though it is updating the text in SO10 but its priting the text which was created for the first time.
Like: for the 1st line item if the quantity is 4 then its printing the "Quantity" 4 times
But for the 2nd line item if the quantity is 2 then also its priting the "Quantity" 4 times and i can see in the tcode SO10 the text is updated from 4 times to 2 times but at script level it is not priting the updated one.
Ex: 4 times the quantity is update to 2times
"Quantity"
"Quantity"
"Quantity"
"Quantity"
to
"Quantity"
"Quantity"
Please help out with this
Thanks
Syed

i think this is possible in print program. it may be useful to u
Ex :   item     description   quantity.
        00010   test1              4
        00020   test2             3
        00030   test3             8.
loop at lt_itab into wa_itab.
for first item : 00010   the quantity is 4.
n = your qnatity (4) wa_itab-qty.
take one more final table and append all quantity records.
do 4 times.
text : " quantity"
append final table.
enddo.
endloop.
finally your final internal table is :
item     description   quantity    text.
00010   test1              4          quantity
                                 4           quantity
                                 4          quantity
                                 4          quantity

Is it normal for my brand new macbook pro to have the fun running all the time and making noise?

There's a constant noise coming from the fan that I didn't have on my older macbook.

I suggest you STOP using that fan control program. At least the way you are using it.
The Fans (Not Fun) on any MBP run at 1900RPMs and yes All the Time. They are supposed to. You are trying to limit the fans to 1500RPM which it looks like one of them has stopped running because of this override you have placed on them.
If you think there is a Problem with the current Mac you have you have 14 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund No Questions Asked. You can then buy another or something else.
No it is not normal to hear the fans when the system is at Idle, when you aren't doing anything on it. But once you start to Tax the system it gets hotter and the fans will then speed up to try and keep the system cool. They will speed up to a Max of 6000RPMs. As the heat builds and the fans spin faster yes you will hear them (actually you will hear the air moving out of the system more then the fans themselves).

Creating executable including run time and drivers windows 7

Hi
Using version 8.5.1 and need to include the runtime version, and drivers for connecting to scope into an executable. Have found so much information on the subject of creating an executable but would like to know if anyone has some step by step for version 8.5.1 to create an executable. Also, has anyone had any issues with drivers and installing/creating exe. while running windows 7.

Hi!
I remember running the compiler at home on Windows 7 64bit using 32bit LabVIEW and I did not have any problems. The exe built just fine.
You have to have your code in a project in order to build an executable. Once you have created a project and included your source files, right click on Build Specifications and choose "New->Application (exe)". Go through each section of the Application (exe) dialog and input the appropriate settings you need.
You can include the runtime and device drivers by creating an Installer. Once you have your executable built, you can right click on Build Specifications and choose "New->Installer". Same thing, go through each part of the dialog box selecting appropriate settings. Under "Additional Installers" you can include NI drivers and the LabVIEW runtime. If you have never done this before, it may ask for you to insert LabVIEW/NI Driver discs so it can include what it needs to for your installer.
My users tend to groan whenever I do this, however, as it creates installers >400MB (which seems silly to them for what appears to be a simple program). Ah well.
