Unflatten From XML to Cluster?

Hello All,
I don't know if i'm just having an off day or what but I'm Working on someone else's code (3-subVI layers Deep) and it keeps giving me this Data Type Error. This VI is supposed to read/unflatten from the XML document. I've tried setting the type differently on the unflatten from XML function, i also tried adding just an indicator to see what file type it should be expecting out, and a few other things. can someone show me where i should go next with this?
Thank you

Solved!
Thank you for your Wisdom MikePorter it turns out what i was missing was that data type on the front had those extra integer types and one extra boolean type that the previous intern added without making use of the controls. After removing those everything connected as it should be.
Thank you

Flatten to/Unflatten from XML on ARM

Using LV 9 with the ARM module on an EK-LM3S8962.
I want to use XML on the embedded target. The data to be converted is a group of arrays in a cluster. The cluster is a type def in the embedded project. The Flatten to/Unflatten from XML VIs from the ARM pallet are used to convert the cluster to XML and back. This works OK on a Windows deployment but the application build for the ARM deployment fails with this message:
Status: Error
linking...
.\Obj\LabVIEW.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol FXPLoad32 (referred from ccgxmlsupport.o).
Target not created
I suspect this has something to do with the schema. Does a copy of the schema (LVXMLSchema.xsd) need to be included in the build specifications? If so, how does one add this to the project?
Thanx
JohnCS

Added a fixed point calculation as suggested and now the VI builds and runs OK.
So far so good, but the String to XML primitive does not generate the correct XML string. In my cluster containing two arrays of strings, none of the control labels have been encoded and the array dimensions are encoded as zero. As a consequence, the XML string will not be decoded back to the cluster correctly. In the Windows environment, the same control encodes the labels and dimension sizes.
Is there something wrong with my type def'ed control or with the Flatten to XML primitive as well?
Here's a copy of my project including the build specification but without the built file.

Unflatten from xml on class in lvlib

I am using Flatten To XML and Unflatten From XML on a class in LV2009. This works fine until I put the class in a lvlib. Then the Unflatten From XML returns an error 1527: Attempted to read flattened data of a LabVIEW class that is not currently loaded into LabVIEW. In my test case the flatten and unflatten are in the same VI, so the class was there when it was flattened.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't know of a good workaround at this time if the class has to be inside a LabVIEW library. I tried a few things that I hoped would work that didn't:
Bundling the class into a single-element cluster before flattening to XML, then unflattening and unbundling.
Inserting the class into a Variant before flattening. Then unflatten as a variant and do Variant to Data. This would have added a <LVVariant> tag to the XML, but otherwise would have been harmless.
Trying the same with a single-element array of the class.
None of those worked. The best workarounds I have for you if the class is inside a library are:
Manually serialize and unserialize the class contents to XML using LabVIEW's XML Dom parser. This is a decent amount of work, and won't work with other XML files you create using LabVIEW's default schema.
Flatten the class to string using Flatten to String. Then wire the string into the Flatten to XML. To get the data out, Unflatten from XML as a string, then Unflatten from String into your class. The XML text isn't pretty or really representative of the data stored in it, but hey, it at least saves and loads the data.

I get an error code 1 from Unflatten From XML

I'm not quite sure why I'm getting this error code. The code looks fine to me. I hope I'm not missing something obvious. I imagine maybe it's one of the datatypes but I'm not sure. See attached VI (8.6)

How observant of you. I was just going to post the same conclusion. The data type that came off an FPGA "read /write control" node.
Neat! Now we have fixed sized arrays in LV!
The attached shows it failing a "flattened string to variant" and the different type strings the two have.

Hi,
Thanks but i cant use EasyXML. I have lots of different data and which i need to convert into Array so i can use in the loop one-by-one.
That's a non-sequitor. Using EasyXML does not prevent you from doing that. What's important is what schema did you use. Steve asked what generated the XML file, but you never answered the question. If the file was generated from LabVIEW using the Flatten to XML function, then the LabVIEW schema would have been used. In this case, the Unflatten From XML will work quite well, as Steve's example shows. If you are using a custom schema then you need to read the XML file yourself and navigate the DOM based on the schema. You can choose to do this using the XML Parser functions in LabVIEW, or you can choose to use EasyXML. Examples on using the XML Parser functions ship with LabVIEW.

Load table from xml

Hi all
Please see attach that I send ,, this is vi that write and read from xml file ,, my problem is when I press on load ??
If you can see that I saved a table data , I want if I press on load bottom all the data loaded on the screen in table shape as table control
Who can I do that

Hi elyan
As i can see you still have problems with xml files
The for loop is not neened. Just delete it.
At write buid an array, so at read you can select 1st element.
At Unflatten from xml, wire a 2D array at "type" input.
You must have a look at basic Labview tutorials...

Load class from XML (Dynamic Dispatch)

I'm continuing my voyage into the realms of LVOOP.....
I have encountered a new problem which I am sure there's a solution to.....
I have a certain hierarchy and I want to implement a single save and load routine for all objects int he hierarchy (located int he parent class of course).
Using the "flatten to XML" I'm able to create some nice XML files with all parent and sibling information saved (as long as the values are non-default of course).
Where I am running into problems is the loading of the data within this XML file. I want to be able to take an object and basically re-initialise it to the values within the file. All fine and good I thought, but it doesn't work.
The problem is that when using the VI with Dynamic dispatch inputs, the output of the "Unflatten from XML" is giving me a conflict with the Dynamic dispatch output saying the obejct types do not necessarily match. Is it not possible to match the object type on the input and output of the "Unflatten from XML" primitive?
If I try removing the "Dynamic Dispatch" input to a static input, then it only loads the data for the parent class regardless of the actual input class.
Am I doing something silly here or is there no other way to properly load a sibling class from a file using only a method residing within the parent class? I was hoping I could have a single "Save-Restore" function residing within my parent class to make life easier for me.
Shane.

Hi Tst,
Problem is that in order for the cast to yield any useful results, I have to make the inputs and outputs non-Dynamic which results in ONLY the data for the parent class being loaded.
If the inputs and outputs are Dynamic, then a cast will not solve the problem (It could be a grandchild class being cast as a child, thus breaking the dynamic dispatch tables).
The only solution I see is for the "UnFlatten from XML" to RETAIN the true object type.
Either that or use my beautiful solution
Shane.
Ps I just did a bit of a test of the race condition probabilities. I ran 100000 tests (100k) with a program stressing both cores AND ram of my machine in parallel and all 100k of 100k iterations worked out OK. I suppose that lets me think I should be in the range of at least 99.99%.......

CRIO: Unflatten from string into lvclass not working in deployment

Hello,
I am working on a problem for some hours now and I need some help.
I am using a cRIO-9022. I need to do some tasks, and I created a couple of classes which contain the parameters and the methods. They contain using dynamic dispatch VIs. I have an array of these classes (all derived from a parent class) which is my "configuration". I am using "flatten to string" and saving those file on disk. "Unflatten from string" is working fine. These file is created on a LV WIndows Application.
I need to use this file on my cRIO: Unflatten from string, and then work with the array of my classes. When running the cRIO Main VI it's working fine. But when building the application and deploying it as startup, it's not working. I am getting:
Error 1403 occurred at Unflatten From String in Gantry CommEngine.vi->RT Main.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Attempted to read flattened data of a LabVIEW class. The data is corrupt. LabVIEW could not interpret the data as any valid flattened LabVIEW class.
What I tried so far:
- Added the whole lvlib containing the classes and also every single class to "Source files / always included".
- Created constants of the array (containing the classes) to the VI (forcing LV to include the classes?)
- Loaded the file from cRIOs flash and also by shared variable
What else can I do?
Thanks a lot for support!

I tried to reproduce the matter, but couldn't.
I attached my example to the post.
What it does:
It creates a class with only a string a bool and a number. This class oblect is saved to C:/somename.xml. The number is a random number.
In the second case the same file is read and the number broadcasted to a variable.
It worked quite fine building it as a startupexe.
Nothing else was necessary. Does it work for you?

Tree from XML (JMX monitoring and management application)

I am trying to create a tree structure from XML. I am setting
the below XML as the dataProvider for the tree.
Now I only want to see the "element" labels in the tree
structure. But I also see the operationList and the operations
under it too. Is there any way I can filter these out from the tree
structure ?
The reason why I have the operations is that I have to
display them on the right hand side, i.e whenever someone clicks on
an element the operations corresponding to that have to be
displayed on the right hand side.
If you see the "flex-admin" application under the livecycle
data services ... my applications is exactly similar to that.
If anyone needs more information, I would be happy to
provide.

How is the WebSphere node connected to the cluster? Is it using TCMP? Extend?
Local, Distributed, Replicated, Near, Overflow, External and Optimistic cache statistics appear in the Coherence JMX server. However, near and local caches created on extend nodes do not appear. Therefore the -Dtangosol.coherence.management.remote=true on an Extend client will not register the near or local caches.

Restore SP from XML backup - best practise?

Hi,
i have a (logical, so xml) backup from a UCS cluster. Someone accidentialy deleted a service profile. I know i can import the logical config but other things have changed and i want to just import the missing service profile.
I could edit the XML file (yuk), delete all other stuff and import.
i also tried to create individual backups of objects by clicking "Copy XML" and saving the result but UCSM does NOT accept that file for import.
Is there any other, better way to achive this?
Michael

Michael,
Restoring bits of a backup is not easy and can cause issues if not done correctly.
How many Service Profiles are you trying to restore? If few, it would be faster/safer to just manually re-create them. If many, then I would suggest you download a new logical XML backup, and cut and paste the SP config from your old backup into the recent one, then re-import it with the "Merge" option.
Another option is to use the UCS PowerShell CLI to inject the config. This takes a bit more skill (Knowledge of PowerShell and XML, but is an option.)
Regards,
Robert

Bug in "Unflatten from String" (LV7)

I have binary files with different versions of a certain datatype. When loading a file, I try to unflatten the data using the newest dataversion. If I get an error, I try the 2nd newest dataversion and so on until I found the right datatype. This methode was ok up to LV6.01.
Now I updated to LV7.0ger and I found following bug:
When unflatting certain binary datas from string I get an error msg window "Nicht genügend Speicher zum Abschließen dieser Operation". The error-output of the vi is incorrect.
Does anybody know a workaround of that bug?
You can test the bug with the attached vi. Include also the two typedefs.

Hi,
From the LV's help: "National Instruments recommends reworking any
application that uses the Convert 4.x Data mode as a long term solution.".
Data types may vary with differenct versions of LabVIEW. So, if types are
not the same, this does not need to be a bug. Right click the Unflatten From
String, and select Convert 4.x Data. This might not work, because the data
is stored with Lv 5 or 6, but when you get it working, it will keep working
for future versions of LV.
The attached VI shows that a sting in a cluster does not convert to the same
type string for lv4.x and lv7. Perhaps they are the same for lv4.x and lv6.
If so, using convert 4.x data would be sufficient. If not, you need to read
the data in 6, save the binary 4.x strings
, and use 4.x from then on.
You might also do the following: (also from the help) "If you use this
function to flatten data from a custom control or indicator that you saved
as a type definition, the function strips the type definition of its type
definition wrapper. If you do not want to strip this wrapper, right-click
the function and select Expose Typedefs from the shortcut menu."
Regards,
Wiebe.

I allready told this to a NI tech support in Germany. They told me,

So I hope for LV7.1 or maybe LV7.01.

How to get string value from xml in JSF??

In JSF How to get string value from xml, .ini and properties file. I want to get string value from xml or text to JSF

Just use the appropriate API's for that. There are enough API's out which can read/parse/write XML, ini and properties files. E.g. JAXP or DOM4J for xml files, INI4J for ini files and Sun's own java.util.Properties for propertiesfiles.
JSF supports properties files as message bundle and resource bundle so that you can use them for error messages and/or localization.
