Trouble deploying TestStand

Hi,
I have tried many suggestions and configurations but I still cant get my deployed TestStand to run in other PC. I kept getting "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW .Application' ActiveX automation server. TestStand cannot find a LabVIEW Development System installed in this computer." My test sequence also uses custom process model. Below are the things that I have done:
1. Configured the LabVIEW adapter to use RTE and enable "Always Run VI in LabVIEW RTE" in the LabVIEW Advanced Settings under Module tab.
2. Added configuration .ini files that will be used, including TestExec.ini and TestStandModelModelOptions.ini in workspace.
3. Enable "Install TestStand Engine" and leave Engine Options/ Drivers and Components as default.
Below are my questions:
1. Since I am using custom process model, where should I save this .seq in?Is it in my working directory or TestStand components folder? Reason why I am asking this is because I tried both ways, the latter gave me
"Warning: This problem will cause an error when building a deployable image or an installer. The following file(s) were not found:
rfid_read_write.seq in step 'Reset Test Sequence', sequence 'MainSequence', sequence file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel_RFID.seq'"
Obviously rfid_read_write.seq has already been included and present.
2. Should I also include this custom process model .seq file in the workspace/deployment?
3. How to solve the unable to launch LabVIEW.Application issue?
Thanks.

Hi, it looks like the app has trouble starting up:
05/01/17 10:21:47 - ERROR: ID90506: NOT Deployed. ERROR returned from deploy service :

Did you have any errors on the compile of the code?
You also want to check if the app is deployed (if so you may want to remove it before re-deploying it)

  • What is the difference between Deploy TestStand system(3.1) and Run Engine Installation wizard(1.0) in Tools menu

    Hi,
       In TestStand

    If you want to run a TS script that calls VIs on a Runtime engine only system you have to use the Deploy TestStand utility to do that. Since a Runtime Engine only system does not have vi.lib you must search all the .seq for VI calls and then traverse all the SubVis to find all the calls to VIs in vi.lib. The Deploy TestStand does that for you. It moves all the VIs and SubVIs to a SupportVI directory and mass compiles them. Once all VIs are within the same directory the runtime engine can find them.
    Note: This is a very nasty poorly written tool. I had a deploy that would take about 6 hours to complete. I wrote my own that takes about 4 minutes to complete.

  • Having trouble deploying .ear file

    I am having trouble deploying a .ear file in WLS 7.0. The only way that I have found to work every time is by following these steps:
    1. Shutdown the server (if it is running)
    2. Move the ear into the applications directory
    3. Change the extension of the ear file (to .old).
    4. Start WLS 7.0
    5. After startup completes, change the filename back to the .ear extension.
    Simply dragging the ear into the applications directory after startup works sometimes. Other times, the server does not do anything...it seems to not realize that the file was moved.
    Starting the server with the ear already in the applications directory (with the .ear extension) never works. In this case, a "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException" is thrown when trying to resolve the datasource name. Could this be a race condition?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Steve,
    As a quick workaround, can you consider merging that 3rd party
    references into a simple, let's call it 3rdparty.jar, file. Then you
    will be able to overcome this line limit. If you use ANT, it can be
    made a part of the build process and can simplify future additions.
    Hope this helps,

    I am having trouble deploying an EAR file having an ejb module with amanifest
    Class-Path entry. It appears to be directly related to the length of thatClass-Path
    entry. No matter the length of the Class-Path entry, ejbc runs fine butthen
    the problem comes trying to upload the EAR through the console.
    First iteration was just skeletal code and the dependencies were minimal.I was
    able to get this uploaded and deployed correctly. For that EAR, the EJBjar file
    manifest's Class-Path entry had only 2 entries and was no where near the72-character
    line limit.
    Second iteration had some functionality and the dependencies were muchlarger.
    Again ejbc ran fine, but I got errors on upload when the console tries todeploy
    the EAR. The manifest Class-Path entry for that ejb version contained 16jar
    files which, because fo the 72 line limit, spread across 3 lines.
    The complaint I get on deployment is NoClassDefFound for a class that isin a
    jar file listed in the manifest classpath (it found it the first time).
    Is there a bug in WebLogic (6.1 sp3) where it cannot recognize manifestclasspath
    entries over a certain limit? I have seen postings about WebLogic'sissues with
    class loading from manifest classpath entries but thought they had allbeen fixed
    as of 6.1sp3.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

  • ActiveX Automation server error on deployed TestStand

    I'm trying to deploy TestSTand 2.0 + LabVIEW 6.1 on a PC under Win-2K.
    I created and deployed TS Engine and Operator Interface for LV.
    I try to deploy the "Auto.seq" test from the TS exemples.
    Of course, it works on my Development system.
    On the deployed system, I got an error : -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library.
    Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
    Step 'Read Database Option - Read Options' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
    After having ignored those 2 errors, the tests goes on normally and the report looks fine.
    I also get this error opening the database configuration:
    Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'
    From answers already given for similar subjects, I've checked that TsDBOptions.dll is present and registered (done regsvr32...) on the PC.
    Can someone help ?
    Note: upgrading to more recent TS + LV versions is not a solution!

    Whether you are using database logging or not, you should not get an error like that when database options are loaded. From the kb's you specified it sounds like there was an issue with a COM/ActiveX server not getting registered in the past. Especially on machines in which TestStand was installed from a deployment rather than the main installer. Have you tried running the version switcher like the KB suggested? Did it succeed or give an error? If it gave an error what was the error? Could you perhaps try a fresh install of TestStand on a clean machine?

  • Deploy teststand system Labview instrument drivers

    I'm trying to deploy a teststand application but I have an error with some Labview VI's.
    I'm using some VI's to control an Agilent 34401A, so Labview instruments library that
    is in the default package was used. The error says that Labiew Could no open the following VIs...
    I don't want to install the Labview development system on the target machine, so I don't know
    how to fix this problem.
    I tried to copy the library to a different location an removing the VIs that are not wired (VI Tree.vi),
    but I have the same error. (On the sequence was changed the path to the new VI location).
    Thanks
    Marcos

    Marcos,
     You can execute VIs using the LabVIEW Runtime Engine, but all of the source VIs must be processed to collect their required dependencies and insure they are compiled in the current version of LabVIEW.  The Deployment Utility process VIs from your sequences automatically.  The TestStand Reference Manual has a chapter on deploying TestStand systems that should help you get started.

  • Deploy TestStand System error

    When I try to run:

    I've only got one simple vi in my sequence. I can run the build utility with no errors until I select the "Lock VI Diagrams" option. Note that my error code is now 1035 instead of 2022 like it was previously. The 2022 error was caused by not suppling password in the Lock VI Diagram box.

  • Deploying TestStand

    I am trying to use the Deployment Utility to deploy TestStand to a target.  I have modified the TestExec.prj through CVI and have created an installer using CVI to do that.  I have also modified the modelsupport2.prj with some additional GUI's.  I have also made the necessary changes to all the other files required.  I have sone this several times with other versions of TestStand.
    For some reason, the deployment utility is not picking up the files located in /All Users/Documents/TestStand 4.1.1/Components/
    Therefore it is not getting the modified GUI, the Language files requires, the modelsupport2 files, etc. etc. etc.
    I have tried multiple deployments selecting different settings, but nothing seems to work.  I finally copied iver the components directory from the development machine to the target and now my modelPanels GUI (which is all modifed in modelsupport2.dll) and it seems to work.  However, this is not the correct way, right????
    Please advise. 

    Hi Kelly,
    All the files that were modifed in the modelsupport2.dll have been modified in the TestStand public directories, so I know that is not the problem.  The files in the normal TestStand directories remain unchanged. 
    I have also tried to select the "Display files in the TestStand Public Directories", but this is where I run into other problems.  The deployment utility reports several errors and warnings that will cause my deployment to fail.  The errors reported are as follows:
    1.  You may need to add any sequence files referenced by the following expressions:  (Too many to list, but all have to do with reportgen)
    2.  The following files were not found:  (too many to list, but all are .vi's.  I don't even have LabView installed!)
    3.  The following vi's could not be loaded: (Again, too may to list, but see above.... Labview not installed!) 
    Regarding the vi's, I have tried to deselect any of the items that seem to be LabView related, but It still gives me those errors/warnings.  I have also tried to exclude any LabView items by excluding them in the Labview sections, but that does not help either. 
    Please explain if possible.
    Thanks,
    Gregg

  • Deploy Teststand system hangs

    and then hangs.  I am using TestStand 3.1 on a Win 2K machine and am deploying because the sequence uses LabVIEW 7.0 VIs.  I had a problem before with the utility hanging later in the process but the same fixes do not work here. There is no hidden dialog box stopping  things either.
    Any ideas?

  • Deploying TestStand app on TestStand-​less target

    I want to deploy a TestStand app on a target that doesn't have TestStand installed on it.  I ran into this before on a different target, and the only way I could get around the ActiveX error messages I saw was to install TestStand on the target.  Now we're going to send this deployment out, and I remembered my previous troubles.  Will I again have to install TestStand at the target.  If not, what specific files should I look for in my LabWindows/CVI and TestStand projects that will tell me that I have what I need.

    As I understand it, TestStand "apps" require the TestStand engine at a
    minimum.  You can create a distribution kit from within TestStand
    that just distributes the engine.  The sequence files have a
    separate installer.  This is how I've done my test systems in the
    past.  You will need to provide a serial number and activate the
    engine when you deploy it.  Otherwise it will run in demo mode
    only.
    If you want to make it easy for the people installing your app, you
    could build a distribution kit in TestStand that distributes the engine
    along with your application.  I don't think it's easy to do this
    in CVI.

  • How do I deploy teststand 3.5 to a different directory?

    Hi:
    We are currently upgrading from a Teststand 2.0.1 infrastructure to Teststand 3.5. To reduce the amount of changes in our existing infrastructure, I'd like to remove the old Teststand 2 directory (c:\teststand) and install Teststand 3.5 to the same directory (c:\teststand rather than c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Teststand 3.5). This will save us going through and changing any sequences or DLLs that are pointing at the absolute directory path c:\teststand. I was able to do this with the regular Teststand 3.5 installer without a problem by choosing 'Custom' and then changing the Teststand directory. Everything then worked fine on the test PC after installation.
    However, now I'm trying to create a run-time-engine installer using the Teststand Deployment utility, and I can not figure out how to change from the default Teststand install directory of c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Teststand 3.5. Is there a way to do this? Can this perhaps be done with a spec file, or do spec files not work with the deployment utility?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    Sorry for the delay in response. Here's what I've found.
    You can modify the setup.ini file that is created with the Deployment
    Utility to give you more flexibility with your TestStand Installation.
    In the setup.ini file, add
    Dir1EditLabel=12
    Dir2EditLabel=13
    Dir1=NIDIR
    Dir2=TESTSTAND350DIR
    to
    [SingleDirectoryDialog]
    DirText1=4
    DirText2=7
    which results in:
    [SingleDirectoryDialog]
    DirText1=4
    DirText2=7
    Dir1EditLabel=12
    Dir2EditLabel=13
    Dir1=NIDIR
    Dir2=TESTSTAND350DIR
    This will result in the installer asking for two paths instead of
    one. By default (with this change) they will not be labeled. (See
    attached screenshot)
    The first dialog box is the NI Default directory. Anything shared
    between multiple NI products will be installed there. In the future,
    when other NI products are installed, they will default to whatever was
    entered in this dialog.
    The second dialog box is the location that TestStand components will be
    installed to. This includes the TestStand engine, components, process
    models, etc.
    If you wanted to add labels to these path prompts, you would need to
    modify the resource strings. This can be done in Visual Studio if you
    have a copy. I believe Visual Studio Express Edition is now available for free on Microsoft's website.
    Hope this helps Dave, have a good one and let me know if you have any questions.

  • Deploy teststand with labview ui

    Hi,
    I'm using teststand now since 9 months and now I have to distribute my application to a testing machine. I have some questions about this process. But first I discribe my application:
    I have a labview ui, which has 3 main tasks:
    1.) Start selected teststand sequences for automatic testing.
    2.) Give operator the possibility to manually control the testing environment (purely written in labview)
    3.) Run continous data aquisition, which provides data for teststand and manual testing.
    Sharing data between labview and teststand is done mainly via global variables (e.g. reference to tdms file). Because of 1.) and 2.) above teststand and labview share a lot of VIs for communicating with the testing environment.
    OK, now my questions:
    I'm searching for the best way to deploy this application via an installer. I know, that there is a teststand deployment tool (which I havn't used, yet) and I know how to build installers with the labview project manager.
    1.) What about sharing of VIs and global variables between my teststand sequences and my generated labview exe? When I place my sequences in the workspace file for the teststand deployment tool, all referenced VIs are included in teststand. But Some of these VIs are also included in my generated labview ui. Will this generate a conflict?
    2.) I was thinking about to create a teststand deployment without a workspace file. The sequences and all required VIs would be placed in the generated labview ui instead. Will the teststand sequences find the VIs inside of the ui exe?
    3.) What about required drivers (e.g. daq-mx)? Should I create a labview installer of my ui with the required drives and install this, then create a teststand installer (perhaps including the ui, too) and install this, too?
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi,
    I would recommend the Deployment Tool for your TestStand and OI. I would also keep your Test Sequence files seperate from your TestStand Engine amd UI deployment.
    [1.) What about sharing of VIs and global variables between my teststand sequences and my generated labview exe? When I place my sequences in the workspace file for the teststand deployment tool, all referenced VIs are included in teststand. But Some of these VIs are also included in my generated labview ui. Will this generate a conflict?}
    This is going to cause you a problem because LabVIEW doesn't like / will not load the same VI into memory from two different locations.
    The Deployment Tool will probably object as well therefore you will not beable to create a deployment package.
    The Deployment Tool will place all the VIs that are called directly from TestStand Sequence Files as seperate VI's (not in a LLB) into the target folder. It will then create a support LLB containing all the subVI's used by the directly called VI's. If you have VI's that are called directly from TestStand and are also used as subVI's you will again have problems because the same VI can be loaded from two different locations. 
    2.) I was thinking about to create a teststand deployment without a workspace file. The sequences and all required VIs would be placed in the generated labview ui instead. Will the teststand sequences find the VIs inside of the ui exe?
    No Teststand will not beable to find your VI's in the EXE. If you need to use the same VI's in both your OI and TestStand sequence file then create a DLL.
    But I would recommend you keep the OI code seperate from your Test Code.
    3.) What about required drivers (e.g. daq-mx)? Should I create a labview installer of my ui with the required drives and install this, then create a teststand installer (perhaps including the ui, too) and install this, too?
    Install your drivers first. The IO should be installed as part of the TestStand deployment as this will register the various components correctly.

  • Deployment teststand error (labview test - sequence context)

    Hello,
    I need help by deploying my workspace to the deployment(target)computer. That is what I have done:
    - i create a workspace, in this workspace are different sequence files and the vi´s which i have created.
    - then i use the deployment tool (teststand) and deploy the workspace to a directory in the network.
    - after that i copy the modified SequentialModel.seq to the target maschine.
    - now if i want start the sequence file an error occured. Teststand can`t start my vi´s because it can`t find files like LabVIEW Test - Sequence Context, TestStand - Set Property Value (Boolean Array). Choosing the path of the file in the search directory doesn`t help.
    Maybe i have made an error with the deployment tool?! How is the right way to deploy in a network without using an installer. Iám using teststand 3.0.
    thankyou
    Schwede

    Hi Schwede
    If you want to deploy your Sequence File and the Processmodell you have to copy first your original Processmodell from the NI folder to the user folder.
    Than open the deploy-tool and load your workspacefile. Mark the point "deploy files in Teststand user directories" and define the image path. Don't mark the "create installer" field.
    You will get and image folder with several subfolder.
    In the target subfolder you can find your sequencefile. In the Teststand subfolder you can find your customized Processmodell or Operator Interfaces. Attention, please use relative paths when you create your workspacefile.
    hope this helps

  • Trouble deploying Java Applet for animation(s) on web site

    I FTP weather radar images up to my host's server, thus onto my web site constantly. As of now, I am successfully doing so with a Java Script. However, I am wanting to do so with a Java Applet.
    The trouble I am having is that the Applet deploys in the browser once on the web site..but the radar images are not being drawn upon thus not showing up to animate. I have a username and password for my web site, but have been told by many that this would not be a prohibitive situation for the Applet to retrieve the images. Thus, I feel that I am coding something wrong causing the Applet to fail in "locating" the images to animate. All files for the Applet are in the same directory as the images I am trying to upload into the Applet, yet still no success. "GR" is the sub directory where the radar image uploaded files are contained within.
    I have attached the coding that I am/have been trying to implement. If anyone can assist I would be greatly appreciative!

    I FTP weather radar images up to my host's server,
    thus onto my web site constantly. As of now, I am
    successfully doing so with a Java Script.
    However, I am wanting to do so with a Java Applet.
    e trouble I am having is that the Applet deploys in
    the browser once on the web site..but the radar
    images are not being drawn upon thus not showing up
    to animate. I have a username and password for my
    web site, but have been told by many that this would
    not be a prohibitive situation for the Applet to
    retrieve the images. Thus, I feel that I am coding
    something wrong causing the Applet to fail in
    "locating" the images to animate. All files for the
    Applet are in the same directory as the images I am
    trying to upload into the Applet, yet still no
    success. "GR" is the sub directory where the radar
    image uploaded files are contained within.
    I have attached the coding that I am/have been trying
    to implement. If anyone can assist I would be
    greatly appreciative!

    use this method...
    Code snippet from hyperview.dev.java.net
    public Image getImageFromJar(String fileName)
    int length = 0;
       if( fileName == null )
           return null;
       Image image = null;
       try
          image = getAppletContext().getImage( getClass().getResource(fileName) );
       catch(Exception exc)
          exc.printStackTrace();
          return (Image)null;
       return image;
    } ///----- Otherwise they should be in the same codebase as the Applet
    // and you can use this call (Way slower to download)
    Image myImage = getAppletContext().getImage(new URL(getCodeBase(),"YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.gif") );Good Luck!
