Remote start of applications

Hi

I want to start Applications on other computers. I thought especially about starting a RDA, DataSocket or VISA Server remotely. I already suceeded in starting a new instance of LabView on an other computer via ActiveX Refnum with the Class LabView._Application. But as i tried to use other Classes in order to start other applications i failed. It just didnt work.
I attached my VI for starting LabView.

Thx for your Help

Hi Michael

Here a two possible workarounds.

The easiest is to use the "system exec.vi" on your host PC. You have only to choose the working directory of the file on your target PC and to execute the command line.

Second:
1. Create a VI which has the "system exec.vi" included. This Vi execute system commands, e.g. calling a *.exe file.
2. Copy this VI to your target PC.
3. Call this VI with "VI Server" from your host PC.
Thsi should work with an executable too. (If no LV is installed)


Hope this helps.

Hi

You'll find it in the "communication" subpalette. I don't know if this VI exists in each package of LV. I've the PDS package.
