Storing the VISA adress in a .ini file

Hi,
I'm looking for 'good' way to store the (RS232) VISA adress in a ini-File.
One way to do this, is using the 'flatten to string.vi', and cut away the first 3 characters ('^\00\00\04'), this way I get a readable and easy to change ini-information.
For reading I add the 'header' an convert it back to the VISA data type.
It works, however, I looking for a propper 'VISA-Adress to (ini)String' method, that surely supports the VISA adresses.

What I do (LabVIEW 6.0.2) is to build a string indicator (and maybe hide it) and attach the VISA resource to the string indicator (or its variable). It gives you a dot on the input, but it works. You can also go from a string to the VISA resource in the same way.
I have included a VI for testing this. And, yes, I used a sequence - it's just a test VI and things have to be done in order.

What is impact on SharePoint farm , if we reset the SharePoint Cache from Cache.ini file?

Hello,
I am facing issue with usage timer job as described in following link:
http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/usage-data-import-job-fail-8075-and-execute-method-spusageimportjobdefinition-fail-6398-%E2%80%93-how-to-fix/
Resolution for my issue in SharePoint 2010 farm is requiring the resetting SharePoint Cache from Cache.ini file.
Can anyone please let me know whether clearing SharePoint Cache will affect the farm ? What precautions I should take to be at safe side while performing same on production?
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Just recreate your sharepoint timer job files. All these timerjob are actually stored on database but for performance, they are pulled over to SP server and executed from local server.
No impact unless and until you set the cache.ini value to 0 everytime the folder is clean.
Yes it is safe to perform this in production.
Note: Make sure time service is top, cache.ini value to 0 everytime the folder is clean, then delete file, then start the timerjob service. If you dont see the files getting created, you need to troubleshoot on your timerjobs.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered. You can reach me through http://itfreesupport.com/

To detect and write the midi imput into an ini file

greetings
for some experimental programming purposes, I need to have an ini file with only one value within, detecting the current pressed key of the midi keyboard connected to the PC trough midi interface.
So that value should change in real time while the user plays the instrument.
If possible to do this with Java + there are already some java programs who could do this?

The boot.ini file

Lost my boot.ini file so I can't boot archlinux now (only Windows XP). Will somebody be so kind and post his C:boot.ini file here so that I cat adopt and use it.
Thanks.

yeah it dont work like the you cant create a .ini file in windows for linux as far as i know
Oh, that does not work that well.
Here is my boot.ini:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
c:grub.ini="ArchLinux"
And here is my grub.ini (which I created):
Code:
kernel (hd0,1) /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part3 ro devfs=nomount
The grub.ini is from the GRUB boot settings file.
This does not work, however.
i use lilo or grub to manage my os choices in booting as does most linux users
try going here
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub
the arch linux lilo how to is down right now which you can find here
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lilo
but there is a link there that leads you to other lilo how to's
all archlinux how to's are found here
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:HowTos
or if youd like some other boot loader you can check these out
http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links … t_Loaders/
but i would recommend use lilo or grub 1st once you get the hang of them then if you really want try the others or
use the link provided by sh_ that one does work ive used it but didnt stay with it (you have to install a linux boot loader 1st to be able to copy it to windows)
the link provided by phrakture doesnt tell you how or where to get linux.bin but that is how you set up you boot.ini
linux is all about choices
enjoy

Where can I find tools for manipulating .INI files?

Doesn't LabVIEW have some VIs somewhere for manipulating .INI files?
Or is that another add-on toolset where NI nickles and dimes you for it?

Yes. Functions>File IO>Configuration File VIs.
Openg's toolkit has some useful additions (and for << a nickel).

Sysvol Not Replicated Gpt.ini File Have a Differnet Version

Hi,
I have 3 domain controllers
1.Id-dc1 - its the main dc (server2008 R2)
2.id-dc2 (server2008 R2)
3.id-dc3 (server2003)
On Id-dc1(server2008 r2) & id-dc3(server2003) the sysvol folder its good the same folders and its the same version in gpt.ini file.
On id-dc2 (server 2008 r2) the sysvol folder not the same i have just 6 folders of 14 folders.
How i can Sync Sysvol folder on this server ?
Thanks

Hi,
The gpt.ini file contains the corresponding GPO's configuration settings, which includes its current version number and the default GPO display name. The version number is updated every time a change to the GPO is made.
In this case, there seems to be something wrong with the AD replication. To identify Active Directory replication problems, use the
repadmin /showreps command.
What's more, please check the Event viewer to see if there is any error indicate a problem with Active Directory replication.
For your information, please refer to the following article to get more help:

Postgres_reg.ini file deleted after ininstalling enterpriseDB postgres

Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Server...After uninstalling the enterprisedb version of postgreSQL **after** the postgres installer failed, the postgres-reg.ini file was deleted. I now need a copy of the original /etc/postgres-reg.ini file. I would normally simply copy it from my original installation, however, this is no longer possible with the App Store Installer as I cannot simply reinstall the software. If someone could simply copy the contents of their /etc/postgres-reg.ini file and post it as an answer to this thread...I will make the necessary changes and place the file back in its proper place. Thanks in advance.

Was this ever resolved? I just updated to OSX Server 4.1 and it appears to write to this file every 10 seconds. My file is only 3GB in size, but it gets backed up every hour!
I deleted all the files in /Library/Server/Wiki/Logs from all Time Machine backups which freed up 160GB on my backup disk. Looks like I'll have to do this every so often.

WSH and ini files

Hi gents,
I want to create the user on the mobile server using wsh.exe tool.
When I try the below code I get the following result:
command is :
c:\wsh -c c:\SETTINGS.INI <mobileusername>/<password>@webtogo.world
the result is :
-3023
WTG-10017: Failed to mount file system on WEBTOGO.WORLD
What does this mean? When � wrote the below code I can login to the system :
c:\>sqlplus <mobileusername>/<password>@webtogo.world
Is there a way to mount the file system on webtogo.world?
All help will be appreciated...

Hi all,
I found the error. In my ini file I tried to create the users only y preparing the ini file in the way that is being shown below:
[USER]
NAME=JOHN
PASSWORD=john
ENCRYPTED=false
FULLNAME=Sample1 User John
PRIVILEGE=C
But before these lines we must indicate the database type so we need to add the following line:
[DATABASE]
TYPE=ORACLE
So our file must be like this:
#Indicate the database type
[Database]
TYPE=ORACLE
#Create the user
[USER]
NAME=User1
PASSWORD=User1
ENCRYPTED=False
FULLNAME=My User 1
PRIVILEGE=C
#Create the user group
[Group]
NAME=Users Group
USER=User1
#Give roles
[ACL]
APPLICATION=/MyApp
ROLE=Default Role
GROUP=Users Group
ACCESS=ENABLED
#Prepare the bind variables
[SNAPSHOTVAR]
Name = MyApp
PLATFORM = WinCE
VIRTUALPATH=/MyApp
USER = User1
VAR=MyVar, 5
#Give access rights
[GRANTACCESS]
APPLICATION=/MyApp
ACCESS = Enabled
ROLE=Default Role
GROUP=Users Group
When you prepare this file then you can run this script by writing the below command:
c:\wsh -c c:\MyFile.ini <UserName>/<UserPass>@webtogo.world
You can see the results from the control center.

Memory leakage when using Ini-file VIs

I'm using the Configuration File Vis to read and write data to different .ini files. The files contain both standard keys and clusters written as a segment using the Open G toolkit. Instead of opening the files and keeping them in the memory of the Config VIs I'm just using them to read and write, decode and encode...the references are all closed using the Close Config Data.vi. The problem is that even though immediately close the config data the application keeps grabbing more and more data...every time a configuration file is open, read or written to and the closed everything from 4K to 50K of additional memory has been allocated by the application (this is a stripped down application that only deals with the config files, so
there are no other sources for the memory leak).
Has anyone else experienced this? How can you repeatedly open and close config file slike this without it continoulsy allocating more memory?
Attached is a copy of the VIs, the directory structure must be kept intact if the ini file is to be read correctly.
I've been stearing so hard on this the whole day that I might just be overlooking something obvious...
In the full application the VI init and write operations are only done when the user reconfigures the system, which may be a couple of times per month...so the memory leak would not cause a problem right away, but it would not be healthy to leave it there...

Could you post a 6.1 version?
LV7 is still about two weeks away for me.
Does the problem show up in 6.1?
I ran across an error while writting to a FP output that was not configured that would cause a "drop of memory" to leak every time the VI performed the write. The leak did not show up in the profiler but windows would show te memory foot print growing continually as long as the writes continued. The work around was "don't do that!".
I bring this up because I found and reported this just prior to LV7 release and the featur may still be present in LV7. I also believe that Jean-Pierre used a "write and check" metod to detail with the unknown data types of of complex data structures.
If you just read does it leak?
If you just use simple data types do
es it leak?
Is the ini file growing?
I really appreciate the effort you have been putting into the Dev-Exchange Mads! I wish i could do to more to help.
Keep us posted.

Placing ini file in specific location when building the application

Hello,
I have a small problem. I have an ini file that I use to store certain parameters. Lets call this file app.ini. When I build the Application.exe, it puts that file into the data directory. I was hoping that it would be one level higher and be located in the same directory as Application.exe is (otherwise it won't read the file correctly.) I looked at the Source File Settings in the Category list in the properties window for the build and set the Destination to be "Same as caller", but that didn't put it where I wanted it. I'd really like this file to be one directory higher when I make my build in order for my app to read it correctly. Any suggestions?
I use this executable later on when I make my installer and the problem simply propagates there too, not good.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One way to solve the problem:
1) In build properties window select Destinations and create a new destination. Select as "Destination Path" the same dir where the exe will be stored
2) Assign this destination to the .ini file.
Let me know if it works

Why is the .ini file deleted by iteself?

Hi all,
I am working on a large program. It is really large and messy, but it works. The problem is sometimes it deletes .ini file by itself. This program uses a .ini file to keep all kinds of configurations. Sometimes when the program exits, it causes the computer to reboot -- even worse, at same time it deletes the .ini file......who can tell me the possible reasons?
Thanks!

Hi steady,
Does your program use the LabVIEW configuration file VIs to maintain its own INI file? In LabVIEW 7.1, I think the Close Config Data VI used to write the data back to the INI file by default even when nothing changed. Try setting "write configuration data?" to false when you call that VI.
Do you have any more information about the reboot? It may be a system crash caused by a device driver. Why Does My Computer Automatically Reboot For No Reason? explains how to obtain more information about system crashes.

Where are the settings of SQL Developer stored?
Is this a folder, an *.ini file or the Registry?
If it is a folder: Can I change the location of the folder?
If yes: Where exactly?
How can I otherwise export/save settings otherwise?
Peter

In your home directory will be created a path like ...\SQL Developer\system1.5.4.59.40
There SQL developer stores the local data.
You can change this path (here ...my_options/system) with th following line in the sqldeveloper.conf, located in path ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin:
# This is to enforce storing of configuration information in the "/my_options/system"
# subfolder I have created in the SQL-Developer installation directory (instead
# of in the "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SQL Developer"),
# so that SQL-Developer installation directory can be just copied to another
# location (e.g. a stick) and along with the configuration information.
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=../../my_options/system
Thanks to Juri W. for this solution!
Before changing the path you should save your connection and custom report - settings via right click -> export in the connection and custom report view, I had to reimport these settings after movimg my directory.

How do I get the VISA resource drop down menu to be auto populated in my stand alone application (exe file)?

Hi all,
Here's a hopefully simple question.
I am building an application (i.e. an exe file) from a simple program which use VISA to read and write to a RS-232 com port. When I run it before building the application everything works fine and the VISA resource control, which is a drop down menu, is automatically populated with available com ports. When I run the application on a computer without LabVIEW installed nothing appears in this window. I have made an installer which includes NI LabVIEW Rutime Engine 8.5, NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.3 and NI-DAQmx 8.6.1. Is there anything else I need to include? Any specific settings I need to do when I build the exe-file?
I use LabVIEW 8.5.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

DAQmx is only for NI DAQ cards so I'm not sure why you installed that. The driver for VISA applications is NI-VISA (surprise!)
Add the NI-VISA run-time to your installer.

Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

Hi,
I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Senthil

I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint. I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
Hope this helps anyone....
