Shared variables update in QuickClient but not in Variable Manager

Greetings,
I am using LV 8.6 Developer with the DSC module installed. Also, I'm using WinXP Service Pack 3.
I am trying to create a VI that will interact with an OPC server connected to some equipment.
I've created shared variables to read the value of tags in my OPC server exactly according to the instructions on this page:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6346
For some reason though, the value of the shared value never updates to reflect the value on the server.
When I follow the tag on the OPC QuickClient, it updates just fine, but somehow the value of the shared variable isn't updating. 
I also tried retreiving this data using the DataSocket method in the "Multiple OPC Items Monitor.vi" example, but running that VI crashes LabView every time. 
Also, I can create a shared variable and write to tags using a VI, but I can't read them.  
It seems like I'm *this* close to getting the shared variables to work. Any suggestions?

Hi Rob,
To answer your questions...
DataSocket: NI doesn't give me the option to investigate the error when I restart the program. I did a search for .cpp files, but none turned up. I did collect the error report that Windows generates, and I attached it. I'm not sure if that would be something useful or not.
SharedVariables: I went to use the Distributed System Manager to take a look at the variables. For both my shared variable as well as the tags on the I/O data source, the data type is listed as "advanced" and the quality is "unknown bad."  I collected the logs from the I/O server and attached them. Oddly, when I look through there, I see some Quality=BAD  and some VT_ILLEGAL flags. The deadband is set to zero, and the update rate is 1,000ms.
Also, I've configured the DCOM and Local Security Policy settings as described in numerous support articles, and my Windows Firewall is turned off. The OPC server and LabView reside on the same computer. 
I suppose the confusing thing is why the QuickClient works fine, but the SVE doesn't.  
I've tried this on three different computers with the same results in all cases. Currently, LV and the OPC server is the only software installed on any machine. The only other OPC server I have access to is the LV server, and it seems to work okay. 
Thanks,
Wes

    Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
    If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

  • Problems with Home Sharing - works with some users but not all

    Hi all,
    On our Mac we have 3 different user accounts. Among the three, home sharing seems to work for two of them, but not three. For example, if I'm logged into User A's account, I'm able to access the library for users B & C. However, B & C are able to see user A's library, but items do not play or transfer. B & C can use each other's shared libraries without a problem.
    Previously, all three users could use the other's libraries. I've done the obvious: restarted the computer, made sure sharing was turned on on all 3 accounts and synced the Apple ID and password on all three iTunes so that they're runing on the same Apple ID account.
    The error I get when trying to transfer songs from A to either B or C is: "There was a problem downloading "[song name]". The URL "" could not be found on the server."
    We're using iTunes 9.0.2.
    Thanks all in advance

  • Screen Sharing works for alien hosts but not for LAN hosts

    Hello!
    I am having a really strange problem in a customer network. The network is a local private network with one MacOS Server 10.6.8 and around 12 iMacs running MacOS 10.6.8. The server is running headless in cellar so the user maintain the backup via screen sharing from an iMac to the server.
    Since a few weeks they can not login to the server via screen sharing from any local host BUT I can login from my MBP (alien) via ARD or Screen Sharing without any problem. Even hosts connected to the network via VPN can connect to the server via screen sharing.
    In short:
    Every local host gets a message that login is not possible and my MBP and VPN-hosts get connected without any problems with the same credentials.
    At the local clients I get this message in system.log:
    Oct 28 09:33:41 verwaltung1 LKDCHelper[228]: Starting (uid=501)
    Oct 28 09:33:48 verwaltung1 com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[166] (com.apple.Kerberos.renew.plist): Throttling respawn: Will start in 530 seconds
    Oct 28 09:34:17 verwaltung1 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Ma cOS/AppleVNCServer[195]: CGSKeyTranslateInitialize: KLGetCurrentKeyboardLayout or KLGetKeyboardLayoutProperty is not available, fall back to USA keymap
    and at the server I get:
    Oct 28 09:33:48 solserv AppleVNCServer[11503]: no such user: adminloc@LKDC:SHA1.DE03ABCC86F74D11AD139E44388D6B94155B4D9E: 2
    When I connect from VPN or my MBP I get no messages in system.log.
    I tried to kickstart ARD at the server but it does not change anything, I bound the clients to OpenDir of the server with no effect also.
    I do not have any idea what is happening here. Every help is welcome,
    Christop

    Hello MrHoffmann!
    changeip says "The names match. There is nothing to change."
    To give more infos, the server and all the clients are connected to the same network switch, all belong to 192.168.183/24 and when I use my MBP, it is connected via WLAN and gets an IP-address from this server with an IP from this range. my MBP is in the same broadcast domain.
    VPN clients connect via PPTP to the gateway (192.168.183.1) and get IP addresses assigned from 192.168.183.48-52.
    There is no routing between the clients and the server.
    There is no other problem - every client reaches the server for file serivces (AFP/SMB), smtp, imap, DHCP and DNS.
    BTW. screen sharing from the clients worked without a problem when I first setup the network about 1 year ago, but since a few weeks no client that belongs to this network can use screen sharing except for my MBP when I am at customer site.
    History:
    The new SLS is a replacement for an old Windows 2000 Server. Both servers ran in parallel for some time but within different IP-networks (all Macs at 192.168.183/24 - all Windows at 192.168.2/24) the gateway routed between both networks. But now it is time to switch off every windows computer because every service now runs at the SLS. AFAIK the windows 2000 Server is the last Windows machine in the network. We switched off DHCP at the windows server and switched on DHCP at the SLS a few weeks ago. Hm .... maybe there is something wrong? But the clients have fixed ip-addresses.
    Still wondering what is going on here, bye,
    Christoph

  • DTW & ITM1 - Update is OK but not Taking Affect

    HI All,
    I've been updating price lists with ITM1 and receiving a successful notification after it is complete. However, the changes are not taking place in the DB, I have checked within SAP B1 and the SQL Server using a query.
    I believe this is occurring with the OCRD template too as I was trying to update 1 particular field and it would not take affect although it notified me of a successful import.
    Can someone please let me know what is going on?
    I've included a line from my ITM1 template below which is successful when attempting to import:
    85108     25     26     50.00     $
    Thanks, Alec.

    HI All,
    I've used the OITM along with the ITM1 and I still receive the "Updated Successful" message but no changes.
    I created another pricelist within SAP B1 Client and updated the prices within that pricelist and it worked just fine.
    I noticed when I queried everything from OPLN that the pricelists that I am trying to import have a different value for "Data Source" which is equal to O, I copied these price lists with Copy Express. The pricelist I created within SAP B1 Client has a Data Source = "I".
    I've included the OITM and ITM file I used which was returning a successful result but no change.
    ITM1

  • V6.01, Windows 7, click on icon, "firefox is already running but not responding" Task manager doesn't know about it. I can't quit it or get it to load. Brand new install. What to do?

    Brand new Lenovo computer, Windows 7 Home. New install of Firefox 6.0.1, set as default browser, don't launch when I click done. Icon appears in tray. I click the icon, and a message says "firefox is running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process, or reboot". It's not obviously running. I can't find a way to make it quit. Task manager doesn't list it as a current application. Uninstall using the control panel uninstall function and then reinstalling gives the same message. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem and gives the same message. Firefox had been working until I tried to update my bookmarks.

    No can do. I can delete the current profile and install Firefox, which should create a new blank profile. The message still says "Firefox is already running." I can place my old profile in the proper folder, and Firefox will still be already running. I can't actually use Firefox, because even though the message says it is running, there is nothing on the screen I can access.
    After uninstalling Firefox, deleting the two items left in the Programs folder, and deleting the profile again, it still didn't work. I then got frisky and from the Roaming folder I deleted the Mozilla folder which contains the Firefox folder which contains the now empty Profiles folder. That worked, and a new set of folders with a new blank profile were created. So apparently it was the empty folders that never got deleted that were causing the issue.
    Thanks for your suggestion. It got me thinking.

    Glad to hear the problem is solvable. Regarding missing updates, I honestly would not know which one. 
    Lenovo's own update programs ('L-Update and Drivers' & 'L-System Health and Diagnostics') inform me that all drivers are up to date.

  • Apple TV Home Sharing only detects Macbook Pro but not iPads

    Hello
    My Apple TV (2nd gen) will only detect my Macbook Pro on Home Sharing. I have two iPads (1st gen and iPad Mini) both updated to the latest iOS but they just wont show up on apple TV home sharing.
    Any thoughts?
    The software on all devices is up to date, and all devices are connected to the same network.

    Your first generation iPad is only capable of basic AirPlay, instruction for basic AirPlay are:
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Your problems on the iPad mini, indicate a network problem at your end, perhaps the distances are too great or you have interference on your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Family sharing - how to see allowed but not yet downloaded apps?

    I am using family sharing with some of my relatives - and I have to ask for permission since I am still under 18 years old. Is there a way to display a list of all apps the family organiser approved - even if I haven't buyed them yet (I pressed - by accident - on the cancel button instead of entering my password and can't remember the name of the app)?
    Thanking you in anticipation

    Although this will hide it from their purchase list, I don't think there is any way to prevent them from re downloading once permission has been granted.
    They could search the App Store & re download it without you getting notification since you originally gave permission.
    I guess you could remove their Apple ID entirely & create a new one but that might not be practical.
