Hello All,

When trying to deploy a library(in a project) with a shared variable on to 'My Computer', its failing for some reasons. Please see the below extract.

using LABview 8.6.

Any thoughts about the above report please?

How can I make sure that all the NI software is up and running in my scenario(if that is the case)? Is there any particular process or windows service needs to be checked? However all the NI windows servcies are up and running under service manager. Also, I can run other VIs without any issues as usual. I could not figure out where I will fit from the above given link. Can you please eloborate, if you have any particular point?

Thanks for your time.

Could you post a view of your project? What targets are communicating with one another? Are you working with RT devices? What Operating System are you working with? 

There are a number or NI Services that provide communications behind the scenes: NI Service Locator, NI Configuration Manager, NI Variable Engine, to name a few. Are these services started? If you attempt to restart them, are you confronted with any errors? 

With a new empty project, and library containing a single variable, can you deploy it? Do these processes show up in distributed system manager? Can you create processes in Distributed System Manager? (Tools >> Distributed System Manager) 

Thank you for your time, I look forward to your responses.

Hi Patrick,

Enclosing the project here for your review. I am on Win XP ver 2002 SP3, all I am trying to do is publish the shared variable so tha I can access from a different computer on that network. Above mentioned and all other NI related services are up and running fine. I am unable to deploy a single variable and so is the process under Distributed System Manager.

Just a shot in the dark, but do you need to have database logging enabled in your .lvlib?  I have found that by the time I get around to library deployment, all NI services are up and running.  I have noticed that I may need to wait for NSV's to become transactional after library deployment.

It appears that NI Variable Engine is not functioning correctly on your system. Do you have customized firewalls, or antivirus software that is denying network communication between software on your local host? NI Variable Engine, and the both services, may need to be specifically allowed through the firewall, to properly host network objects. 

This error code is curious, as it typically pertains to communication to the DAQmx Driver, as alluded by muks. Did anything recently change with your LabVIEW installation, a new driver or toolkit? Have you seen any additional environment behavior problems? 

Regards,

Hi Patrick,

I may suspect on that angle if you motivate so, as I experienced firewall isuues in the past on the PC currently I am on. Will try on a different PC that has got lenient security&n/w settings etc. 

Thanks.
