Deployment utility issue

[vanisivanantham]

Hi All,

My code module to be deployed uses some VI's from user.lib. When I'm trying to create the deployment, in LabVIEW options I'm excluding all files from vi.lib,user.lib and instr.lib.  After creating the deployment, still my code module looks for the VI's from user.lib in SupportVIs folder which is parallel to the deployed folder. I don't know why it is still looking in SupportVIs folder instead of taking it from user.lib. Please share your thoughts about this.

Thanks in advance!

In the LabVIEW VI Options dialog did you select the three exclusions i.e

Exclude Files from VI lib

Exclude Files from User lib

Exclude Files from Instr lib

Hi Ray,

I have already selected all three options to exclude.

What Teststand version are you using.

I tried TestStand 2010 and that was fine.

TestStand 2014

I rebuilt my project with TS2014.

This built the deployment correctly ie no vi's from instr.lib, vi.lib or user.lib.

If I deselected the instr.lib in the options dialog and rebuilt the deployment then I got a support folder with the instr.lib vi's and lib files.

are you able to post your project?

Note: I did have a lot of issues converting from TS2010 to TS2014 to get the analyser not to error and the 2014 deployment tool to analyser without errors.

Hi Ray,

I have one packed lib called NI_TestStand_Semiconductor_Module.lvlibp which is installed with Teststand Semiconductor Module. Its VI's will be listed in LabVIEW Palatte as well. When I build deployment utility for a VI which uses the VI's from that packed library, even after I have excluded all dependencies it is looking for the packed lib in supportVI's folder but it is not there since I have excluded it. It is happening when I open the deployed labview project. But If I try to run the sequence, there is no issues. It is taking form vi.lib and executing. But still conflicts are there in the project.

Thanks,

So are you saying:

Your deployment built ok (no errors)

When you opened the SequenceFile it was linked to the Support VI's folder rather than the original location.

When you deployed on your target system, this deployed ok and when the sequencefile was opened it had no errors and ran ok.

Did you create your Build file (TSD) from new or did you use an existing one?

I used the TSD file from my TS 2010 build and I have loads of problems. In the end I created a new TS2014 TSD file and this made it a easier build with less problems to resolve.
