Subvi waiting to run (objective function)

Dear Users,
I have an optimization process using unconstrained nonlinear optimization and an objective function. The only place I use that objective function is in a subVI (let's call it Optimise.vi), where I supply that to the optimization subVI (which is LabVIEW native). After running my whole program, the Optimise.vi stops and is in the idle state. But the objective function and all of its subVIs are in a running state, and their run-arrows display "SubVI waiting to run" or "Run" (always with an arrow inside an arrow). I could check on the state of the two VIs using a VI by Marche at http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/SubVI-Waiting-to-Run/td-p/49432.
The execution of the Optimise.vi and the objective function is set to "shared clone". If I set the execution of the Optimise.vi to "non-reentrant", then the objective function also ends in the idle state. But my program runs longer, and I would like to avoid that.
Is this behavior bad? Should I care about it?
Cheers,

Dear ghighuphu,
I really like to help you with your issue but some more informations are necessary.
I assume you use this optimization function:
Constrained Nonlinear Optimization VI
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/gmath/constrained_nonlinear_optimization/
Did you create the objective function from the template located here: labview\vi.lib\gmath\NumericalOptimization\cno_objective function template.vit ?
In the template the execution settings should be right.
For further troubleshooting a screenshot would be nice. Feel free to come back to me.

SubVI Waiting to Run

I have written a data acquisition program with LV 6. I have written it so that one part of the program gets data from our NI PCI-MIO-16 type card, and outputs the data to a global array at a frequency of 100 Hz. Other parts of the program then read the data from the global array, apply scale factors, graph, output to disk, etc, as required. All of this seems to work perfectly.
My problem arises as I try to stop my program. I go into either my continuous logging or manual logging sub VI parts of the program, and when I try to come out again the sub VI appears to stop, but it won't go away. The stop button is greyed out. The run arrow is white with a small black arrow inside. When I move the cursor over it the pop up message "SubVI Waiting to Run" a
ppears. The only way to stop the Sub VI is to close the window. I have followed the VI's through using highlighting, and I can't see any problems, any sub VIs still running. If I run the VI independently without coming into it from the calling VI, but still having the other data acquisition VI going as well, it works perfectly and exits fine.
What is the obvious problem that I am overlooking???? Is it a global VI problem? I am only using one Global VI, and it is also passing data between other VIs. Could this be the problem? Should I have a global VI which is the only link between the two VIs, and other globals for links between other VIs?
Please help if you can as I will not have much hair left soon!
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Stu,
If I Understand Correctly is that you have a Few Vi's Running and when you try to Stop the Program, you want to be able to come out of the Sub Vi Panel. Also you have Described a Complex Situation very briefly so some details are unclear. However, Check these things.
You Wrote "The stop button is greyed out. The run arrow is white with a small black arrow inside. When I move the cursor over it the pop up message "SubVI Waiting to Run" appears."
The Run Button when White With a Black arrow indicates your SubVi is in "Running" State. This means that there is a top Level VI Which is running and has Some Code which will Call this Sub Vi. As soon as a top level Vi is Run, all subvi's called by the top Level Vi go into Running State. You are right, th
e Vi Can Be closed By Close Button. But If you were to Open this VI again You will see the same White and Black Arrow.
What You can do is Use Vi Server Property "Execution State" in A New Vi and run this VI supplying the Path Name of the Problem Vi while you are Having this Problem. I have attached a small Vi Where you can enter the Path Name of Vi you want to Check and run it. It will Give you the state of the VI, Running, Bad, Idle or Top Level. Mind you if your Vi is Not even Open it may give you "Bad"
Now if you get status as running it means it is currently reserved by a top Level Vi for Running.
So to Stop your Program and close the Window you may want to use Vi Server Property nodes to End Execution and Close Fornt Panel.
One Another thing to do to identify the problem is go to "Browse" Button and Look at Vi Hierarchy. Also there is a button "This Vi's Callers". If the Caller Vi Is Open It will show up here. Most Probably Because of Global Variable VI Which is at th
e Top you have a problem.
I Hope this Helps. If you can Post More Details - I am Sure you will get Contextual Help to sort your Problem.
Good Luck!! Baldness can be good Sometimes!!
Good Luck!

How do I get values into a vi from a subvi while the subvi is still running within the vi?

Hello
This is my problem. I have a subvi that runs an experiment. At different point in the experiment different instruments are on or off and I have a boolean array display this info. It is updated at various points of the experiment via a local variable. That works fine. Here is the problem though. I run that subvi from a main vi program (that runs it several times for several experiment cycles). I would like to pass the status of that array onto the mainvi to display there too. The problem is that the array in the main vi is not updated until the subvi is done running and thus displays only the array status at end of experiment (instead of changing
as the status changes within the subvi). I tried using a global variable to write to it in the subvi every time there is an update, and read from it in the mainvi, but that doesn't work, it still displays just the status at the end of the subvi execution. Does anyone know how to make this work, or if there is a workaround this? Thanks.

If you have LabVIEW 6i, you can update indicators of a calling VI from
a SubVI, while the subVI is running.
In your case you need
1) an indicator on the main VI panel to display the boolean array
2) to pass a reference to that indicator to the subvi when you call it
3) to use this reference in the subVI, connect a property node to it and
write the values to be displayed to the 'value' property of this node
If you don't have version 6, you can write the values to be displayed to
a global and display this global in the main VI from within a while loop
which must run in the main VI in parallel to the running subVI.
It's more complicated, since you need a mechanism to gracefully shut
down the while loop after subVI finishes. You could do this with
another global control boolean which is not displayed but just connected
to the repeat terminal of the while loop. Don't forget to put a 'Wait' of,
say, 50...100 msec in that while loop.

Patch 9239090 - ORA-04021: timeout occurred while waiting to lock object

Hello Guys,
I need help urgently to comlete an upgrade of ebs 12.1.1 to 12.1.3.
We are upgrading ebs 11i to 12i going live this weekend. We have encountered "ORA-04021: timeout occurred while waiting to lock object" on patch 9239090 with two Workers:
In adctrl:
1 Run AutoPatch R120 AFUTLGRS.pls FAILED
2 Run AutoPatch R120 AFUTLOGS.pls FAILED
sqlplus -s APPS/***** @/u02/applfinp/apps/apps_st/appl/admin/OFPROD/out/p001invok.sql
Connected.
create or replace package wf_bes_cleanup AUTHID CURRENT_USER as
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04021: timeout occurred while waiting to lock object
I have done everything everything imaginable but cannot get pass these 2 failed workers.
1) I have checked are there are no locks blocking on any objects:
select s1.username || '@' || s1.machine
|| ' ( SID=' || s1.sid || ' ) is blocking '
|| s2.username || '@' || s2.machine || ' ( SID=' || s2.sid || ' ) ' AS blocking_status
from v$lock l1, v$session s1, v$lock l2, v$session s2
where s1.sid=l1.sid and s2.sid=l2.sid
and l1.BLOCK=1 and l2.request > 0
and l1.id1 = l2.id1
and l2.id2 = l2.id2 ;
2) I also checked and there is space in the database.
3) From adctrl, I have tried restarting the jobs one by one but the worker 1 hangs at and eventually fails on several (12) attempts.
4) The solution on Doc ID 1291064.1 is not the problem:
SQL> select SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_MIN, SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_PK, SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_UI, FORCE_LOGGING
from v$database;
SUPPLEME SUP SUP FOR
NO NO NO NO
5) Manual execution still gave ORA-04021:

sqlplus -s APPS/apps @/u02/applfinp/apps/apps_st/appl/admin/OFPROD/out/p002invok.sql
6) The alert log has no related errors
7) I Finally, after over 6 hours of waiting, I could only get the patch to continue after by using adctrl option 8 to skip these two workers.
After proceeding, I have yet hit two more errors and now stuck:
I have hit another error with the same patch:

Service For Objects functionality (SDV transaction)

Hello experts,
Some users are getting an authorization error while trying to display an image from t-code FBL1N (services for objects). After identifying the reason of this issue with NSU53, the simple fix is to provide access to the user to transaction SDV. Actually, we are proposing to the security team to provide the access in a Generic role, so all user can get the access.
Their concern is that if for any reason, any of the users runs the t-code directly (SDV), and not through the Services for Objects funtionality, they might be able to access other documents that they should not be allowed. To be honest, I haven't seen this as an issue before in my 13 years working with SAP.
The question for you guys is: what is the best approach to grant access to users from different modules to Services for Objects functionality without violating security policies?
Thanks,
Alfredo

How to configure objective function for use in minimization?

Hi all,
I have been working on a minimization problem (for details, see this post). I have figured out how to run an unconstrained minimization, but can't quite figure out why my objective function wire remains broken. Here is a screen shot:
Any ideas?
I include below this example main VI, a subroutine that does the minimization, and a subroutine that gets called during the minimization. As it seems I am limited to 3 attachments, I will add some sample data to the first reply that I will generate.
Many thanks,
RipRock
Solved!

Basically all I did wrong was I created my own function to minimize from scratch. The help very clearly says to copy the template and use that. Here is the function copied into the LV provided template.
All the best,

How to run a function

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to run this functions while generating reports for labels.
please i need some guidance.
create or replace function get_label_nextval(p_label varchar2) return integer
is
l_last_num integer;
cursor c_label is
select last_num from label_id where label = upper(trim(p_label)) for update wait 10;
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
open c_label;
fetch c_label into l_last_num;
if l_last_num is not null then
l_last_num := l_last_num + 1;
update label_id set last_num = l_last_num where current of c_label;
commit;
end if;
close c_label;
return l_last_num;
end;
Thanks and Regards

ORA-06519: active autonomous transaction detected and rolled back
Cause: Before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, all autonomous transactions started within the block must be completed (either committed or rolled back). If not, the active autonomous transaction is implicitly rolled back and this error is raised.
Action: Ensure that before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, any active autonomous transactions are explicitly committed or rolled back.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10880/e4100.htm#sthref2110
I think your COMMIT should be moved outside your IF.
Commit just before your RETURN, after your CLOSE CURSOR statement.

Question about the Wait Until Next ms Function

Hello,
I met a problem when I tried to use wait until next ms function to control the period of the loop.
I use Labview2009 now. I wrote a VI to sample the current values at 100Hz and then store the samples in a text file. The currents are sampled once in a loop and then wait for next 10ms to begin the next loop. After 360,000 loops (should be an hour), it will creat a new file to store the new samples in the following an hour.
I left the VI runs on CompactRio for the whole weekend. The result I got is shown in the picture below:
24 files should be created in one day. While there were only 3 files created in the firest 24 hours ( from Fri 16:00 - Sat 16:00). And after that it worked very well.
When I checked the first three files (created from Fri 16:00 - Sat 16:00), I found that it didn't sample at 10Hz. It sampled at the frequency of about 20Hz (sometimes 18Hz, sometimes 19Hz).
I am confused by the problem a lot. What may cause it didn't work in the first 24 hours and worked after 24 hours? And How could I fix this problem?
Thank you very much!

You need to show us some code!
This cannot happen in a single loop, but can easily happen if you have e.g. stacked loops or sequences containing multiple wait statements.
Also have a look at these old threads:
Synchronization problems during measurements (using while loop)
accurate timing between events
If accurate timing is important, use a timed loop. Your incorrect times are faster, so I don't think there is a problem with the inner code taking too long.

Object function(){} has no method 'isElementatached toDocumentBody'

Hi,

i had configured ebs with obiee
when i open dashboard it shows 1st page data(tables and graphs) when i select 2nd page(tab) there is no change only first page displays
and when i select prompt it displays below error
Object function(){} has no method 'isElementatached toDocumentBody' on popup window
any suggestion plzz

I was contacted by Adobe regarding my error and I was informed that I was running two differen versions of jQuery at the same time which is a no, no. jQuery does not like to have multiple versions loaded at the same time, but if you needed to you could always run one after another, but it would take longer for the page to load. In my case I changed the embeded code in my lightbox under the "Join Our Mailing List". The embeded code uses jQuery version 1.4.4 while the jQuery version that Muse uses is version 1.8.3. To resolve this problem I simply change the 1.4.4 to being 1.8.3. While jQuery is not always backwards compatible, I was lucky on this item as it appears to be backwards compatiable.
I would also like to note that I had originally placed my CSS for this code inline with the coding, but I then removed it and placed it in the head as this helped with some of the problems as well. It is always better to create seperate CSS and .js files and then have your code reference these files. I will work on this in the coming days.

and the story of the error is as below:
Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))
For your information, the full function is as below:
Function Convert_Decimal(Degree_Deg As String) As Double
'source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213449
Dim degrees As Double
Dim minutes As Double
Dim seconds As Double
Degree_Deg = Replace(Degree_Deg, "~", "°")
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))
minutes = Val(Mid(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") + 2, _
InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") - InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 2)) / 60
seconds = Val(Mid(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") + _
2, Len(Degree_Deg) - InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "'") - 2)) / 3600
Convert_Decimal = degrees + minutes + seconds
End Function
Thank you.
Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Nina.

You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
Sub test()
Dim s As String
s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
End Sub
Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
Dim mid1 As Long
Dim mid2 As Long
Dim degrees As Long
Dim minutes As Long
Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
End Function
As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

Workbook not refresh after running Planning Function (BI-IP)

Hi! Folks,
I have a problem with the Bex Analyser which not refresh the data after running Planning Function.
Step 1: Run Planning Function (There are some changes in records)
Step 2: I have to Run Process Variables again and input the same selection in the pop-up variables
Step 3: The changed records will be shown...
Can I have some coding in the Layouts of Bex Analyzer to refresh the data after running Planning Function?
Brgds,
Supasake

Hi,
I had a similar problem that the resuls of my planning function were not automatically shown. Only if I did "something else" like saving or running another function the results were displayed.
I think I solved it by upgrading my SAP GUI6.4 with patch 14. the results of planning functions should be automatically displayed.

I have an app that crashes when I run one function, but no one else I know with the same app experiences the crash. I checked my Diagnostics

I have an app called Astrogold that crashes when I run one function, but no one else I know with the same app experiences the crash. The app writes several different reports, and gives the option of sending them as PDF files. All the other reports generate fine, but one of them....and that one crashes the app while it is trying to generate the report.
Note: it only crashes the display. If I double click the home button I see the app itself is still running.
I checked my Diagnostics & Usage data, and noticed that every time the app crashes a LowMemory report is created. I looked at the LowMemory report and see that the Largest process is Astrogold. But I don't see any reports with the name of the app itself.
I have an iPhone 5c, and according to iTunes I have 2.25 GB Free.
Below is the actual LowMemory report. Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thank you for your reply.
>You can double-click the home button and then swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app to force it closed.
Did that
>After that, power the phone off and back on again, test.
Did that
>If still a problem, force close the app again and then reset the phone, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot, test.
Did that
>If still a problem, then connect the device to iTunes and restore from backup.
Did that
>If that does not work, it is possible there is something corrupt in the backup. The final step is restore as new, not from a backup.
This is the only thing I had not done before I posted my initial request for help. I will work on that....it's a last resort I was hoping not to do, but it sounds like I've already done everything else.
Thank you.
