Runs DataSocket server in run time

Hi,
I have a vi and I want that when it is loaded, I want to automatically run DataSocket server without going to National Instruments->DataSocket->DataSocket Server. In other words, I want to run DataSocket server from my vi. Is it possible? How can I do it?
Thanks very much,
ToNi.

When you build your application you have the option to create an installer which will install the run-time engine. In the installer option you can select DS support, which will install the server.
As mentioned, if you're using the first VI, you need to include the dynamically called VI in the build.
Try to take over the world!

Data Socket Server installation on Labview run-time PC

How do I install data socket server on a PC with Labview run-time licence only? Is it part of the installer?

Yes, this will install entire DataSocket software. This includes: DataSocket Server, Manager, and Help.

Is there any way to run the datasocket server from the vi

I want to run the datasocket server from the LabVIEW program and is there any command to do this. Because, I built one application vi and this vi is link with another vi using datasocket.So every time before i run the program, i need to run the data socket server. So if i forget to run the datasocket server, I need to restart my vi. So what I want to do is I want to run the data socket server, when i open this VI. So that I do not forget. Thanks.
Saw.

In the examples\comm folder there is a file called datasktxwin.llb In that library open e.g. DS 3D Graph Writer...launch it and you will see that it launches the data socket server. Take a look at the code and you'll find a VI that launches the server; "Launch DS server if Local URL.vi".
If you know the path to the server executable you can always launch it using the System Exec.vi from the communication palette too. The typical command line would then be:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DataSocket\cwdss.exe

Can't install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on Windows Terminal Server

With my system admin, we tried to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1 on our Windows Terminal Server NT4. And we get an error all the time:
-install using the plugin
-install using LVRTE.exe
-install after rebooting the server
But I remember that we could install the Run-Time Engine 6.0 on another Windows Terminal Server NT4.
Is there any compatibility issues with the new Run-Time Engine 6.1 ??
Thanks for your help
Cyrille

Cyrille,
What is the error that you get when trying to install the run-time engine?
Are you installing it from the LabVIEW CD, or did you download it from the web site?
To further troubleshoot this problem, it would be best if you send us an email to [email protected] and send the above information.
Also, try running the installer from the command prompt window, and use the following syntax:
setup.exe/l*v
This will save the error log to the file you specify. Send us also this file to help us troubleshoot.
Thanks

LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server

Hi,
I have a question related to LabVIEW Run Time Engine and ActiveX Automation Server:
We have a tool developed in LabVIEW and TestStand. End user interface is a LabVIEW GUI (it's an executable) which executes TestStand sequences. Some TestStand sequences call lower level LabVIEW VIs.
Everything works fine with LabVIEW installed, but I was wondering if I could run this tool on deployment machine with only LabVIEW run time engine installed. We are using LabVIEW 6.1 and with only the run time engine installed, I get the error message: "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW.Application' ActiveX automation server ".
BTW, we are planning to upgrade the versions soon.
Is it possible to make things work only with the run time engine?
Thank you.

Thanks for the response, Brian.
I did upgrade to LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5. Everything works fine on the development computer where LabVIEW and TestStand is installed. On the target computer in the lab, I installed LV RTE 8.0 and TestStand 3.5, and now when a VI is called in a sequence file, I get the following:
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Code -18002
RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Msg "LabVIEW: The VI is not executable"
So, the executable opens and works fine (which means that the LV RTE is installed properly), but when a sequence calls a low level VI, it does not make it through.
comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))
Also, if you want to know about Reports Server Clustering, you may refer to "Publishing Reports" document on OTN:

Run Time Error while Transferring data to Application server

Hello Abaper's,
I have generated a XML data using the FM : " SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT ".
While transferring the data to a File on Application Server using the statement
DATA : wa_xmltab TYPE truxs_xml_line,
 it_xmltab TYPE truxs_xml_table.
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
LOOP AT it_xmltab INTO wa_xmltab.
 TRANSFER wa_xmltab TO FNAME. <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Getting Error here
ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
MESSAGE e004(zmsg5) WITH 'File FNAME not opened'.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET FNAME.
The Run Time Error i am Facing is
Short text
 The current statement is only defined for character-type data objects.
Error analysis
 For the statement
 "TRANSFER f TO ..."
 only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
 "f".
 In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "TRUXS_XML_LINE". The
 current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
 'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
 regarded as non-character-type.

Hello Volker Binder ,
Thank you . it's now transferring the data to Application sercver. I forgot to try using Binay mode,
Thers is one more problem. There are 10 Records in that internal table that is being converted to XML format,
but the XML data is showing only first 4 records.... the XML data format for the remaining data is not seen.
Actual No. of Records in Internal table :

This 4th record data in XML is also incomplete..
The above XML format is generated only for 4 records out of 10 Records.
Please let me know , how can i increase the Size / Memory of the Application server file to accomodate for the reamining Records

Windows Server 2008 sp2 Task Scheduler missing next run time after restart

Hi,
I have the issue that there does not appear to be a fix for with a server 2008 sp2 (NOT R2) where after a restart all tasks are missing the next run time so I need to edit each task to add this time back in. I have tried the hotfix in KB 950035
but this when you run it is only for Vista and cannot be installed despite saying it's also for Server 2008.
For some reason also this is Task Scheduler version 1 not 2 which I thought came with windows since Vista so SP2 should have it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Evans,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue?
As Dave mentioned, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 include all the previously released updates for Windows
Server 2008.
Based on your description, I understand that all scheduled tasks still miss the next run time on your Windows
Server SP2 when the server restart. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please open Properties of one problematic scheduled task, navigate to History tab, then
check if find some relevant events or errors. Those may help us to go further analyze.
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Why does my LabVIEW Run-time server return the message "source does not exist Last UI message: Start Execution"?

I am trying to build a stand-alone application on a target pc for which I have built a LabVIEW server that TestStand can use as an adapter.
In order to do this, I searched this site and found the topic: "How do I build and Use the LabVIEW Operator Interface as a LabVIEW ActiveX Run-time server?" After following the procedure to the letter, I ran the testexec.exe file as instructed and loaded my sequence file. As soon as I try to "Single Pass" or "Test UUT" I get an error which says "source does not existLast UI message: Start Execution". This error appears when running the testexec.exe file on the target pc or the development pc.
I have found though, th
at if I open the Operator interface through the Start: Programs>National Instruments>TestStand>Operator Interfaces>LabVIEW then the sequence file runs without these errors.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Hello Robroy,
The KB you mentioned explaines how to build the LV Operator Interface (OI). So, I assumed you built the LV OI and also configured the LV adapter to use the TestStandGUILVRTS server without problems.
The error you are getting may be due to missing VIs. In other words, the LabVIEW OI may not be finding all the VIs your sequence is calling.
In order to deploy sequences that call VIs, you need to first run Tools >> Assemble VIs for Runtime Distribution. This tool gets all the VIs your sequence needs and saves in a separate directory.
For more information, you may check the TestStand User Manual chapter 17, it describes how to distribute TestStand and sequences.

OWB 9.2.0.2.8 Server Side Install Run Time Assistant Components

Hi all,
I have Oracle 9.2. on a Solaris/ Sun server.
I have installed OWB 9.2.0.2.8 on the client desktop running WinXP.
After installing the Design Repository I was installing the Run Time assistant when I had the INS0034 error, requiring that server side components be installed first. So after going back to the installer I used the "Install Server Side option" which actually installed software to my windows Oracle home ??? After that still had the INS0034 error.
My question is. Do I need to use the OWB for Solaris disk and access the Sun server console to install the server side components ? I'm confused as I already have the OWB disk for Windows which is where I would like to install the client.
So not sure where to from here.
Get Solaris version of OWB and install on Sun Server ? Or have I missed an obvious option with the Windows install disk ?
Any help would be appreciated ... Project is stalled at this point.
Regards
Nick

Hi Nick,
We have a similar configuration on my project. You will need to use the OWB for solaris disk if you intend to use OWB to deploy any object or run any mappings. OWB will need to be installed on any Sun server that you will be deploying your warehouse to (not necessarily where the OWB design repository is).
Run the installation from the Sun server console and choose the "Install Sun Server Side option". Once installed, you will also need to run the Runtime Assistant from the server console. Select the option to install the Runtime Repository. This ensure that the Runtime Platform Service is running. Without that you'll have trouble running the Deployment Manager.
Check out sections 2.5 and 2.6 of the Installation and Configuration guide for more details.
Cheers
Dave

Teststand 4.1.1 PAWS Run-Time System ActiveX Server

Hello,
I downloaded Teststand 4.1.1 for evaluation. However, when I tried to run the example called "Manual Intervention Example.seq" or "ParameterPassingExample.seq" shows an error.
Both sequences indicates "PAWS Run-Time System ActiveX Server not installed."
Error: Error executing substep 'Execute TPS'.
An error occurred calling 'ExecuteTPS' in 'IExecuteTPS' of 'NI ATLAS StepType 1.0'
The TPS Server could not be created. A possible cause is that the PAWS Run-Time System ActiveX Server is not installed. Check your TYX PAWS installation and try again. [Error Code: -2147221164, User-defined error code.]
Where do I get that installation from?
Why wasn't it installed when I install the evaluation for Teststand 4.1.1?

Setting Time Server Search Order in DSC Run-Time

Hello,
can somebody help me with explanation how can I set the Time Server Search Order in DSC 8.6 Run-Time System? I can set it in development environment, but how can I transfer this to the Run-Time machine?
I want to synchronise a system clock of the machine to another machine acting as the time server, running NI Time Syncronization service.
Is it better to use standard Windows XP sync routines instead of NI ?
Thanks a lot,
romp

Hi David,
after trying NI approach ( I've got some tips from support, you should edit the Registry ) I found it just don't work well, so I have disable it completely and move to Microsoft mechanisms for clock synchronising. Looks like NI still didn't work this out as it should....it's a shame aince this is very fundamental stuff.

Should i run Datasocket server on Labview realtime OS if am using datasocket write operation in a vi which run in LabviewRT

Hai
Am new to LabVIEW, I need to develop a VI that aquires data and transfer it via datasocket, this has to be achived in realtime environment(LabVIEW RT). I wanted to know if i need to run datasocket server on labVIEW RT, if i need to publish and subscribe in the VI runing on realtime.
Thank you in advance for any help
Arun

Sorry if this is a duplicate post (my browser is acting up).
You cannot run the datasocket server on the RT system, but you can run the datasocket VIs/functions. To use datasocket in RT, run the server on a Windows host and use the correct URL in the datasocket functions running on RT (i.e. dstp:///mydata)

My Prompt back ground colour changes during run time in Client / Server Env

Dear Friends, 
 My Prompt of text items are changing its back ground colour according to the Text item's back colour during runtime. This doesn't look good. My look and feel of my application gets spoiled due to this. I tried with Visual Attribute (both prompt & Text item) but of no use. I don't want to use text label as I want to change the prompt during run time. Please help me.

Dear Kevin,
Yes I agree with you, but in my case as this application supports bilingual (English & Arabic), I want to change the prompt of the text at run time. Can I change the text of boilerplate text at runtime?
Thank you for your reply.
