How to import WSDL file into LabView 8.6?

[smercurio_fc]

It seems you clicked on the Post button before actually providing some details to your questions.

Please provide a reply with some more information. What is WSDL? Are you referring to Web Services Description Language? If not, then what are you referring to. If you are, what exactly do you mean by "import"? Import into what, for what goal?

My computer has .NET 1.1 and I am working with LabView 8.6.  I followed the side http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4728 to import WSDL file that I have called "Programmer_Service.wsdl".  First in LabView, I went to Tool >import>Web service.  At the box of "Web Service Description Language URL" I enter "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\instr.lib\Webservices\Programmer_Service.wsdl" and then pressed Next.  Next page I left blank for "Input the Authentication Information".  When I pressed next, LabView gave me an error "Internal unknow error, please contact National Intrument for help"

Please help me to solve this issue if you can.

Thanks,

Hello wwwu,

I have been able to reproduce this error.  I am currently looking into this. I do want to know what your overall objective is. What is the file that you created "Programmer_Service.wsdl"?

This is the file that my company uses to control one of our equipment. I attach some first lines of the file for you to look at. Thanks, Viet

Hello Viet,

This issue is you are trying to use WSDL file that is locally on your hard drive. This tool is expecting you to access a WSDL that is online. This is why the tool asks for a URL and not a path.

Try the process again using this URL instead of the file path.

It works with the link you gave me.  So, how can I use our WSDL file?

Hello VVU,

Is your wsdl file hosted on the web? It needs to be on the web in order to be used. Are you trying to invoke web services? LabVIEW Web Services is server-side only. This means that you can only invoke web services from a machine that is serving up a web page or has a web server running on it.

I will try through this way.

Thanks,

VVu

Thanks,  I put this file into one computer with web server anable and I can use LabView to import those vi's now.  The problem I am having next is after enter the address (10.2.2.84 for instance) at proxy server setting and run a simple one, but it seems no communicate at all with the device that I want to control.  Is there anything else that I have missed?
