System Level Exception, error -17502 when running VI with RunTime Engine

My sequence conains a single Labview VI. The sequence functions correctly with the Labview RunTime engine NOT selected in the "Advanced Setttings" tab. When I enable the check box to always run the VI with the Runtime Engine, TestStand generates the following error "System Level Exception, error -17502. My teststand version is 3.5, with LV 8.2.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you sure you have LV 8.2 RTE on your system?

Error '80070002' when running report with Crystal 9

Hi,
A client of mine is using Crystal 9 designer and RAS. We are trying to get them to upgrade but in the mean time when ever we create a new report we get the following error:
Error '80070002'
(there is also a random file path but can't show this for privacy reasons)
From what I can make out the current set up appears to be ok: they have the correct SDK files in the right place on the production application server.
These files point to the RAS which sits on the QA application server.
When we run the report through Crystal designer the reports runs fine, however when we run it through our HR application we get the above error.
Strange thing is though all of the pre-existing reports work fine...which is why I think the set up must be correct otherwise none of the reports would run, this is only happening with new reports we are trying to create.
It's like the page tries to connect to the RAS but gets kicked out.
I've tried seraching this and other forums but have not seen anybody else with this error.
Any one got any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Moved to .NET BOE SDK forum ( assuming this is a ASP.NET app )
First thing to try is to turn logging on for RAS, stop the RAS server and add "-trace -crpetrace 7" ( I think these worked for RAS 9 ) and then look in the logs to see what the actual error is reported by CE 9. The error you posted is a COM error.
Next we need to know if this is a WEB app or Windows App and what Dev language you wrote it in?
What happens if you create a New report using the same database tables and info?
Thank you

RUN TIME error - Error code: system level exception -17502

1. During running of my sequence in a TestStand Operator Interface   i got following run-time error:
    Details: Error executing substep 'Post'.Parameter 'Input cluster 6 [OUT]': System Level Exception.
    Location: Step 'sequence 'SequenceFilePostStep' in 'Sequence X.seq'
    In my SequenceFilePostStep i transfer some information between the LabVIEW 8.0 and TestStand 3.5.
    In my xxx.vi I have 6 clusters and every cluster from 14 to 20 variables.
   The cluster #6 has 70 variables.
   Perhaps, the error that i got is from cluster #6 due to 70 variables? is it to much for cluster?
2. What can i check? How i can fix it?
Please ask questions if you do not understand something, i am want to resolve it!
   Thank you to all!

Thank you & Best Regards
*I use LabVIEW 8.X & TestStand 3.5/4.0.1 versions only

Thank you Sam R,
I think that error caused due the overflowing of some string that i have in my cluster.
Because i also get I/O open file error and the name of that file i hold at my cluster.
Do you think that the incorrect string can caused to that system level exception error?
p.s. screenshot is attached

17502 System Level Exception

Hi Everyone,
I've done the searches and read all the posts related to the"-17502; System Level Exception" error message.
I've quadruple checked the CVI function and the function call in TestStand to make sure the data types matched and that pointers were indeed pointers and not passed by value.
Since the error stayed, I decided to do a mock code where I removed the parameters in the CVI function to the point where the only parameter is now the CAObjHandle thisContext, as shown in the image below.
Even with a single parameter, I continue to get that error. And yes, the error is related to the function 'MemTest'.
Since I narrowed the list of parameters to this single one, is there something I'm over-seeing with the CVI function and the way it is called by TestStand? (I am rusty at TestStand.. I didn't think I was that rusty )
It does not make it inside the function since the first step is a message saying that it got in (kinda like Hello World).
- sigh -

Hi RayF,
I knew I could count on you...
I get the error when I run the sequence. I had a fully working sequence and added this one additional step, which is a new test.
The Adaptor should be okay as it has not changed from the original code. I can check, but ut should be fine. As a matter of fact, if I choose continue instead of terminate, the program continues happily afterwards. So I think I did something stupid which is small and should be easy to fix.. It just evades me at the moment.
I'm "old school". I created the function prototype from within LW-CVI from scratch. I didn't think of using the Create Code button. I will try that.
I will also try removing everything else from within the function and simply have an "Hello World" message popup.
Thanks RayF,

TestStand 4: 17502 System Level Exception

I attempted to run an TestStand 3.1 Sequence file on my new computer in TestStand 4. And I had a 17502; system level expection run time error for a particular function call. The sequence access the function or module from a .dll that was developed in LabWindows/CVI 7. However, this code module works on my other station that runs TestStand 3.1. I also attached the example of the code that's causing this run-time error in TestStand 4.

I did step through the code to see which function call was causing error. However, when I save the sequence file at a TestStand 4.0 sequence file and executed the sequence this system level exception error did not occur again.

Intermittent -17502; System Level Exception

Running Test Stand 4.2.1, Labview 2009
In my test stand sequence I launch a Labview VI. Usually it works just fine, but occasionally I get a -17502; System Level Exception error. Once it happens it keeps occuring until I open the Labview Vi, re-save it, and then reload it in Test Stand. I don't change anything about the VI or the Test Stand step, I just open the VI, save and close it.
Any ideas what is happening?

What drivers are you calling in your VI? What is your VI doing? Can it potentially take different paths through the VI different times that it is called? Can you consistently reproduce the issue?
Here is a link that might be useful: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/17502-System-Level-Exception-in-Run-Time/td-p/1892207
Can you reproduce it with other VIs? Or is it just this one VI?
Regards,
The VI is using OPC via serial to talk to another device. It just reads a variable for its current status and compares it to an expected value. There are a couple different paths it can take depending on if an error is present, the value read is the same as the expected value, etc. but all the paths do very similar things. The error only occurs with this VI and cannot be reproduced consistantly.

Gets error "-17502; System Level Exception" while running the custom Step in NI TestStnad 2010

I have a custom teststand step which works like For loop in TestStand. Previously I was using LV 2009 and NI TestStand 4.2.1 and this step was working fine. Recently I upgraded my system to LV 2010 and TestStand 2010, since that it is not working.
When I run the step it gives error "-17502; System Level Exception". I have attached error screenshot.
I am using NIFlowControl.dll in this step.
Please do the needful.
Attachments:
System Levle Exception error.JPG ‏25 KB

The source code for NIFlowControl.dll ships with TestStand. Did you perhaps
1) modify the code and rebuild this dll in teststand 4.2.1, but did not move your changes into the 2010 version and recompile the 2010 version?
Or
2) Move your 4.2.1 version of this dll to 2010 in which case it might be missing important code that exists only in the 2010 version. It's best to redo your code changes to the 2010 version and recompile that if needed.
Also ideally your modified version of NIFlowControl.dll should be located in the teststand public directory rather than the program files directory.

System Level Exception. Error code -17502

Hi,
I have an initialize test step which is written in LabWindows/CVI and I call
that step from TestStand.
In that test step I initialize one dll, first I load DLL (the handle goes to
the global variable) and finally I get the function pointers. When this step
ends, I go back to the TestStand and I got this error. Do you know what is
wrong and how should I do this dll loading because I need this handle later?
TIA,
-Harri

I think something must be happening in either the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH: of DLL main in the loaded dll. It might be trying to do something which can be causing the system level exception.
System level exception can also be caused because you are calling a dll function incorrectly ie passing a I16 instead of a I32 in the parameters.
I might also be trying to call/release a function reference which is not valid.
I would suggest you to step into your code and make sure that all your reference are valid if and when you call/release them.
You might want to try to trap the 17502 error by following the Knowledge Base link given below

System level exception -17502

Hello,
I get the following error, when I want to execute a labwindows dll step in testsystand 3.1:
"system level exception -17502"
The strange thing is that on 2 other PCs this step is working with same version of teststand and LabWindows
what could be the problem?
regards samuel

That is strange.. The other PC's do not have this error although they have the same dll's...
My experience with that error code has been "array or buffer out of bound". The buffer size was not sufficient to hold the data that was passed to it. Interesting, indeed... hummm....

Error -17502 when a CVI step contains HarmonicAnalyzer function

Hello, I have a Testand application that has perform some measurements on a signal aquired by a SP420 audio card. The measuremnts are implemented into a function implemented into a DLL (created in CVI). The function definition is:
long AUDIO_FUNC SP420_Measure (char szErrorMessage[], unsigned long Handle, long Channel, long Mode, long SearchFrequency, double Attenuation, double *Measurement, long Acquire)
double HarmonicFrequencies[AUDIO_NUMBEROFHARMONICS];  //AUDIO_NUMBEROFHARMONICS = 5
double HarmonicAmplitudes[AUDIO_NUMBEROFHARMONICS];
double df,Freq_peak,Pow_peak,acVal,dcVal,Thd,ThdNoise;
int iError;
WindowConst window_constants;
// Sample   - number of samples 8192
// SampleFrequency - 51200
// Mode   - specifies what calculation is to be performed
switch(Mode){
case RMS_LEVEL:
  RMS (SampleArray, Samples, Measurement);
  *Measurement/= Attenuation;
break;
case PEAK_FREQUENCY:
  ACDCEstimator (SampleArray, Samples, &acVal, &dcVal);
  LinEv1D (SampleArray, Samples, 1.0, -1*dcVal, SampleArray);
  iError = ScaledWindow (SampleArray, Samples, 1, &window_constants);
  iError = AutoPowerSpectrum (SampleArray, Samples, 1.0/SampleFrequency, AutoPowerSpectrumArray, &df);
  iError = PowerFrequencyEstimate (AutoPowerSpectrumArray, Samples/2, SearchFrequency, window_constants,
   df, 7, &Freq_peak, &Pow_peak);
  *Measurement= Freq_peak;
break;
case THD_NOISE:
  ACDCEstimator (SampleArray, Samples, &acVal, &dcVal);
  LinEv1D (SampleArray, Samples, 1.0, -1*dcVal, SampleArray);
  iError = ScaledWindow (SampleArray, Samples, 1, &window_constants);
  iError = AutoPowerSpectrum (SampleArray, Samples, 1.0/SampleFrequency, AutoPowerSpectrumArray, &df);
  iError = PowerFrequencyEstimate (AutoPowerSpectrumArray, Samples/2, SearchFrequency, window_constants,
   df, 7, &Freq_peak, &Pow_peak);
  iError = HarmonicAnalyzer (AutoPowerSpectrumArray, Samples/2, 0, AUDIO_NUMBEROFHARMONICS, 1, SampleFrequency, Freq_peak , HarmonicAmplitudes, HarmonicFrequencies, &Thd, &ThdNoise);
  *Measurement= ThdNoise;
break;
default:break;
return(0);
When running the Testand application, I have no problems when I measure the RMS_LEVEL or PEAK_FREQUENCY. When making the THD_NOISE measurement, I get allmost all the time after the function call, the following Testand error:
An error occured that prevented the error status of a sequence from being reported.
System Level Exception.
Error code:-17502
It seems that the issue is linked to the HarmonicAnalyzer function, because if I comment the HarmonicAnalyzer call, I do not get the error any more.
Any ideeas on what could be wrong would be higly appreciated.
Regards

Hi MiniMe,
I agree that it seems to be related to the HarmonicAnalyzer function. It is an additional function call as compared to the "PEAK_FREQUENCY" case.  You may want to single step into that function.
The error message indicates that TestStand caught an access violation or some unexpected non-TestStand exception. This can occur when calling a code module that generates an access violation or more likely in this case; when calling a code module with an argument list that does not match the actual parameter list.
For instance, when calling a dll function incorrectly ( ie passing a I16 instead of a I32 in the parameters).
Try single stepping into your code and make sure that all your reference are valid if and when you call/release them.  Also double check the parameters list.
I placed a couple of links below that discuss this error.  Here is a description from another post:
"The TestStand error -17502 is TS_Err_OS_Exception which suggests that the CVI DLL is executing some code that is causing an access violation or some other type of exception. TestStand catches this unexpected exception and tries to recover by just displaying a run-time error for the step. You will have to review your code and possibly trace the code to try to figure out where the exception is being thrown. I believe that CVI 7.0 can trap exceptions. If you debug the TestStand application using CVI and debug your DLL, does CVI display a message box saying that an exception occurred? Does the debug output window of CVI show any exception information?"

Runtime Error -GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED when running COI

Hi ALL,
We are getting run time error - GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED when running COI tasks.
Error analysis
     You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
     (data segment 32995).
     This error may occur for any of the following reasons:
     - You address a typed field symbol before it is set using ASSIGN
     - You address a field symbol that points to a line in an internal table
       that has been deleted
     - You address a field symbol that had previously been reset using
       UNASSIGN, or that pointed to a local field that no longer exists
    - You address a global function interface parameter, even
      though the relevant function module is not active,
      that is it is not in the list of active calls. You can get the list
      of active calls from the this short dump.
How to correct the error
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
    use the following search criteria:
    "GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED" C
    "CL_UC_COI_ACT_PT==============CP" or "CL_UC_COI_ACT_PT==============CM00P"
    "REDUCE_GOODWILL_ENTRIES"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:

We purchased Licensed version of Red Hat Linux Oracle for our network server. My boss wanted a simple way of installing Samba on it so that the server can be used for file and printer sharing. We have an active directory on our network and couple of other Windows servers as well as other Red Hat servers. He wants to install Samba on that licensed version so that it can primarily be used for file storage and sharing, he wants to be able to connect with gui type interface to this server from windows machines and linux machines and he wants for this Red Hat Linux Oracle machine to show up in active directory.
Aparently when we went to Applications, Add Remove Software in Red Hat Fedora Samba was not in there.
When we go to System, Administration, Server Settings, Services, Samba is also not there.
Nowhere can we find an easy way of installing samba on this Linux OS.
I went to your site, signed in, (previously there was only 1 channel available there, I have just recently found and added all the channels that were aplicable to our system) and downloading them now to another version of the same type of Licensed Red Hat Linux Oracle. Hopefully when I use Software Updater in System Tools it will load the packages we are loking for (from the channels I selected on your website). Once that is done I think I could just go to add remove software and install the packages that I need from there.
I am still not sure why I set out to install repositories on this version of Linux, perhaps I mistakenly thought that once everything is installed (according to directions at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html) on the machine in question I would be able to use that same machine to get the packages for that same machine. We were in such a rush and desperate to put the server on to the network it did not dawn on me that this scenario is designed to have one serve on the network that holds repositories and other machines connect to it for packages.
I think I am on the right track in my logic, log in to your site with the CSI number, user name and password, select ALL the channels versus only one, save the search, then from the machine update packages, then add new software and Samba Should be in there. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
This version of Linux seem like a very reliable version of OS and I would hate to give up on it, especially since we already bought licenses for it, its just that we don't have that much experience with it and I would upreciate all the info that you can give us for it. I am sure that everyone at SMMJ will upreciate you for it.
