Citadel Archive progress status window does not cancel properly

[viScience]

Any idea how to fix this since all of the vi's are locked?

I just canceled out of one yesterday afternoon running under LV 8.2 with no issue. If you are removing the old data, did you shutdown the app using the DB?

If that doesn't help the only answer I know of sounds like I am being a wise-arse.

Post an zip that demonstates this issue then "take two upgrades and post back next year."

I don't mind locked VI if they work. When they don't I have no choice but to be frutstrated. The lock-down tie-up with Shared variables combined with what appears to be poor testing (historical trends recall funtion swapped start and stop times because developer did not use type defs, intermittant lock-ups of the DB on multiple machines with absolutley no tools to troubleshoot, ... ) has resulted in me NOT recomending DSC for an app for a couple of years now. The only reason I still touch it is I have apps running DSC for ten years and they have to keep running.

Sorry to dump on you. If we ever meet we can discuss who is more disappointed.

Hey Ben,

Thanks for the reply.  In LV2009, the citadel archive progress status cancel stops itself but does not close its front panel.

Very unprofessional looking in a built app.  Also I am not sure it is closing all of its file references when canceled.

I am only using the DSC to provide logging for my NSV's and now DB archiving.  My goal with archiving is to be able

to do a nightly backup of the DB to external HD.

In regards to poorly tested LV software tools being released by NI, I maybe able to compete with you in the

'who is most disappointed' category.   I suspect that NI is becoming proactive in this area, but the range of quality of NI's own

LV tools has been wildly inconsistant.
