Hello All,
Were I work there is a LabVIEW based project that is a distributed system. This system has a main application that can run on Linux, Windows, or cRIO targets. The main application loads "plugins" depending on what platform it is on to do platform specific things. For example, one plugin uses a DLL interface to communicate with OPC servers. Another plugin measures voltages and currents on cards in the cRIO chassis.
The system occasionally needs updates and the sites where it runs are remote. The current solution is to send a technician who installs a full upgrade. We want to move to a rolling upgrade that is automated.
We can certainly roll our own solution, but before we do that we want to investigate existing solutions.
I believe such systems are under the buzzwords System Management Software and WSUS the windows update solution is one of these.
Is there a System Management Software package that would deploy to cRIOs and Windows machines? (We have the Linux one solved already, although we might redo it if there is something really slick out there.)
Thanks!
