Reset revision history for all VIs in an llb

[sfleming]

Is there a way to clear the revision history for multiple VIs at once, specifically all in a particular .llb.  I know how to clear each one individually, but what a pain.  I hoped if I took the top vi in llb and saved as, and created new hierachy, all VIs would reset...no go.

I would really like to disable the rev history feature.  I know you can chose not to display the history, but I cannot figure how to disable the rev history feature itself.  Meaning, if I change a vi 10 times and someone else turns on the view feature, it will always show 0, or 1, not 10.  I want to release new software with all set at 1st rev, but I find no other way to do this except go and reset the history for each individual VI---UGH!

Thanks in advance!

You can reset a VIs rev history using VI Server to load the vi and a method to reset. See attached (LV 8.6)

Thanks for the info and sorry for the late reply.  For some reason I didn't get an email from NI (as usual) to inform me that somone (you) replied to my question.

It looks like I need to put this code into all of my VIs to reset each one individually, which is the route I might take.  I have about 30 VIs in the llb, so unfortunately I have to add 30 times at this point.  I wish there was a way to reset all automatically using a tool in labview.  Obviously there is on option from the drop downs (or cntrl y) to reset each VI individually.  Wonder why they don't have a global reset or why creating a new hierarchy (save as option doesn't work).  I may just have to bite the bullet and add what you sent to each of the 30 VIs.

However, this is great information for my next project, I will just add it to new VIs from the start!

Thanks for your time and input!!!!

You've already asked this question before, and I've already provided an answer.

Please do not create multiple threads asking the same question - this is annoying.

Sorry, thought the 1st one didn't get posted...forgot to subscribe and couldn't relocate.
