Why might a VI break when building an executable on one machine versus another?

I have a large test application that is designed to work on several machines. In the process of testing I go to each machine and open the project on the machine I am testing. When I am satisfied the project is behaving as expected I build the executable and test that it is working as expected. This is where my problem occurs.
More Background: This software was originally meant to run one test at a time and was upgraded to run multiple tests at the same time(sharing resources and the like). To accomplish this, another VI was written that opened instances of the original VI (clone). I don't know if this is common, however this has been in use for a while and is known to work even after the migration to the network(probably not the problem).
My issue is that I can build the software on one machine and it will work on another machine, yet when I try to build the same exact project from the other machine it will no longer open the instance of the original VI. I probed the error wire and it indicates that the VI must be broken. So I open the VI and it has no errors.
I have no idea how to diagnose this any further. Anyone have any ideas?

Try mass compiling the entire project hierarchy prior to making a build. Also, if you are dynamically launching VI's, you must put them in the "Always Include" section of a Build Spec.
Do either of these things help?

When building an executable I get the error message var.lsb not found.

When building that executable with LV 5.0 it will work, but it will not work on a korean version of WinNT 4.0.

When exactly does the error message come up? When you're doing the build or when you attempt to run the executable?

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

I'm using Final Cut Pro Trial. Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer? When I try to open the project on my desktop it doesn't recognize the format. Please help!

I downloaded FCPX trial on my laptop as well as on my desktop. I did some editing on my laptop but I need to get the project I created on my laptop onto my desktop. When I import the project onto my desktop the videos are Red and they say "Missing File."

Error when building an executable in BridgeVIEW

Hi,
Every time I try to build an executable in BridgeVIEW I get an error that I have to close all VIs before building an EXE, but I only have the top level VI open. I tried shutting down the PC and restarting but nothing works. I have seen this in LabVIEW, but LV closes them for you.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

HI,
You are probably right. So here is what Ive tried:
1) Restarting my PC. Opening a blank new VI and trying to build an application by adding my "main.vi" as a top level VI. This way I make sure there are NO VIs opened.
The list that appears on the Build Application menu contains ALL VIs called by my main.vi.
Thanks again.
I can't really say that I remember a behaviour like this but considering that the latest BridgeVIEW version corresponds to LabVIEW 4.1 (which was never released) or so, I would say that this is so long ago that my memory might be flaky here.
And the application builder back then was also not the same as it is now. I'm afraid unless you are going to use a more recent version of LabVIEW together with the DSC Toolkit (which is basically what BridgeVIEW evolved into) there is little cahnge that anybody can help you with this here.

What jars are necessary when building an Executable for JAXB??

I'm using JWSDP-1.2. I get the following error when I try to run my executable: DefaultValidationEventHandler: [FATAL_ERROR] Document root element is missing. I was curious which jars are necessary when making an executable for JAXB. So far I have: 1)dom.jar, 2) jaxb-api.jar, 3) jaxb-impl.jar, 4)jaxb-libs.jar, 5)jaxb-xjc.jar, 6)jax-qname.jar, 7)namespace.jar, 8)relaxngDatatype.jar, 9)sax.jar, 10)xalan.jar, 11)xercesImpl.jar, 12)xsdlib.jar . Are there any jars I'm missing? I thought I might be getting the error due to a missing class. I've made sure that the XML document is readable and that it exists. The application runs fine in Eclipse, but when I make an executable I get the ERROR message.

I'll have to read up on the doctype stuff, but I don't have anything like that included. Is it necessary? I read from the same XML document when I run inside Eclipse and also read the same document when I run the jar.
Below is the XML document I use and below the XML code is the code I use for my schema:

Unable to get a case number to transfer a ColdFusion Builder 2 license from one developer to another developer.

I am trying to transfer a ColdFusion Builder 2 license from one developer who left the company to another developer. I filled out the transfer forms but I cannot find a way to log a case so I can include the case number. I tried to click on Chat and it keeps telling me that "Chat is unavailable right now". Does anyone know of a different way to initiate this process?

Well, last week I read about the confusion on this issue in ZDNet, and concluded that my best move would be to drop by the AT&T store here. The counter rep called AT&T and got a person who hadn't heard of this, but said he'd try to do it anyhow. He reported after a while that my phone was "ineligible," although since it's been out of contract for four years, I believe it is.
The AT&T customer service man then attempted to transfer my store person to Apple. Having been given an Apple phone number, after ten minutes of "hold" time with Apple, we hung up and called that number. After ten minutes, Apple answered and said that while they sell unlocked iPhones, they NEVER unlock them for customers, and that we should call AT&T again. So my person called AT&T again, and after a long hold, got someone who started researching the problem. After 20 minutes or so, my person asked the AT&T customer service person if I could leave the store and have her call me when some resolution. A half an hour later, she said that AT&T was working on it and that it might take at least a couple of weeks!

Will there be forex gain or loss when you move amt from one GL to another?

Hi,
Local currency Euro
GL account A account currency Euro (has got an open item for usd 100)
GL account B account currency Euro
In the above situation if i use the post with clearing t.code f-04 to transfer the 100 us dollars from one gl account A to another gl account B then the system is calculating forex gain/loss. however is this correct to calculate the forex gain or loss for this transaction? From an accounting point of view, conceptually since we are just merely moving the foreign currency amount from one account to another why shd there be a forex gain/loss is calculated?
Take note that dont reply on how to change the F-04 document posting so that no forex will be calculated, i myself know it, i can just change the exchange rate to be the same as the original document's exchange rate so that in the f-04 document no forex difference is calculated. This is not my question. My question is rather on the accounting principles, as to whether shd there be a forex gain or loss for the above situation.
Can someone comment on the accounting perspective of this?

Hi,
Yes you are right but you cannot say that there is no effect on the P&L because the system generates postings to the P&L and even if the new account is revalued at month end, the forex auto postings made by the system will still be included in the P&L thus overstate or understate the P&L. Therefore i believe i shd not allow the system to post the forex amts during the transfer postings. do u agree with me?
For example :-
System posts a gain of 20 Euro to forex account abc during the transfer posting.
The month end revaluation on the new account is posts a forex gain of 5 euro to forex account abc
Now the final month end standing for forex account abc will be 20 + 5 = 25 when in actual fact it shd have been only 5.

Inherit metadata not working when content is moved from one folder to another

Hi All,
I have a unique situation for which i would like to know if there is any solution.
We have WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 installed with Framework folders, Accounts and RoleEntityACL (Access Control List-ACL) enabled.
We are not using Accounts, but are using ACL since we want the end users to be able to modify the content access permissions.
Now as per documentation - Managing Content Repositories section 11.2.3.2.1 What You Should Know About Item Level Security
The following occurs in Oracle Content Server on setting custom permissions for a file or folder from the Item Level Security dialog:
The account is changed to account WCILS/original_account.
All users are by default granted RWDA on account WCILS. Changing the account to WCILS/original_account ensures that only the custom permissions determine the security on the content.
The ACL content metadata fields, xClbraUserList and xClbraRoleList are updated with the custom permissions.
The content metadata field, xInhibitUpdate is set to true, to prevent ILS from overwriting an item's own custom security with a parent folder's custom permissions.
Now when i am copying or moving any item from one folder to another folder, it does not inherits the Roles Access Control Lists, User Access Lists of the destination folder in which i am copy the content. It does not inherit the other metadata values like comments and a few more custom metadata value.
I understand that this is due to the xInhibitUpdate metadata field, mentioned above.
Is there any way to override the xIhibitUpdate metadata field and set it to false?
Does anyone know what event is fired when we perform the copy or move of a content item?
Thank in advance
Amit

When I move pages from one document to another, it creates a new alternate layout.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with combining some documents. Usually I use the "move pages" command and tell the pages to integrate with another document. However, because of the new alternate layout feature, both documents have the default layouts as "Letter V". So when I move pages from one document to the end of another, it creates a new alternate layout labeled "Letter V2" and "Letter V3" etc. Is there a way to make the pages just go into the main layout of Letter V without creating a new alternate layout? How do I merge alternate layouts created in the integrated document? All documents are the same page size and orientation.
Thank you kindly,

Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.

When moving a page from one pdf to another I see a message "consolidating fonts" and the added page does not view properly

I am working with multiple PDF files in Acrobat Pro XI. Sometimes when I move a page from one PDF to another it does not view properly. It was fine in the source PDF, but not when moved to the desired PDF. I also see a message momentarily across the bottom of my screen that says "consolidating fonts". What must I do to fix this?

Lloyd ,
Follow these steps for Acrobat 11 .
Launch Acrobat>Tools>Print Production>Acrobat Distiller
Now in Acrobat Distiller follow these.
Select Standard in Default settings.
Go to Settings and select Edit Adobe PDF Settings.

When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one. How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Why the VI starts breaking when I enter property nodes?

Hi,
I'm a student in engeneering and need to do a work in labview. It's a Signal generator with in-built osciloscope.
The VI was working fine ultil I add the property nodes to change wavegraph scales and the VI start breaking with them.
Can anyone see my VI and tell me why does it happen?
I send the VI below.

The VI is not broken and can run.
However, your axes are set to auto scale so the property nodes for the axes and auto scale are constantly fighting each other.

Parity error occurs in VISA read when building an executable

Hi,
I am doing some serial communication in LabVIEW and have battled for a long time with parity error where it appeared as a lot of 0's were added to the data I read through VISA read. I fixed my problem according to this description:
Can I Do 9-bit Serial Communication Instead of 7 or 8 bits?
Where i modified the visa ini file to disable error replacement. This seemed to help out the problem - at least i got the data i expected, until i built an application.
When i build and EXE the problem occurs again when i run the application on another computer - not the computer on which it is built. I have made sure to include a customed configuration file, i.e. to include the modified visa.ini file to make sure that the error replacement is disabled in the application as well. When i look in the configuration file that follows the application it also appears as if the error replacement is disabled, however, it seems not to work since a lot of 0's are once again filled into my dataset.
I have of course made sure that the serial port setting are set up correctly.
I am using LV2013.
Anyone tried this before or is able to help somehow?
Thank you
Nicolai

Sure, I have attached my VI - however i'm not sure it provides any useful information in this case. What I am doing is simply reading a serial port every 750 ms, accessing specific data in it and plotting in graphs. The VI works perfectly fine on the development computer.
I don't think the VI or the serial port are what's preventing me. It seems like the configurations in my visaconf.ini file are not transferred to the deployment computer. I have tried the following from the knowledge base:
How to Include VISA Settings in a LabVIEW Installer
Why Does Serial Communication Not Work on my LabVIEW Deployed Executable?
Storing VISA Aliases and Moving Them to Another Machine
I can also see that the 'DisableErrorReplacement' parameter is set in the .ini file that comes along with the application, but it seems like it is not applied since I keep receiving all these annoying 0's that ruin my data.
As you can see in the VI i configure my serial port in the 'false'-state, and then on the development machine I have just added 'DisableReplacementError=1' to the visaconf.ini file which solved my problem before trying to distribute the app.
Hope some of you guys can help.
Best regards
Nicolai
