LabVIEW could not create the requestet channel endpoint.

[jonasbeck]

Hello everybody

I'm currently on the Labview Core 2 online course and just got to know the concept of channels. When I wanted to apply the newly learned in an exercise ("LV2_2019_EN, Exercise 1-1: Parallel Loops with a Stream Channel"), I unfortunately couldn't create the channel.

After choosing "Stream" and "Write" in the "Select Channel Endpoint" window it takes more than a minute until a window with the message "Now creating channel instance. This may take several seconds the first time for each channel kind..." appears. I cannot printscreen it because the computer is bugging out.

After another two minutes the following error message appears.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be due to?
I am using LabVIEW 2019 SP1, 32 bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad T490 with Windows 10 Enterprise (version 1909).
I hope I have described the problem well and provided all relevant information.

I've been looking for a while to see if the error has been described and dealt with, but couldn't find anything. If I missed something I would like to apologize and am grateful for the link.

Thank you for any kind of help!

Cheers Jonas

I haven't read it but Could-Not-Create-The-Requested-Channel-Endpoint might give more info.

Or this:

LabVIEW-could-not-create-the-requested-channel-endpoint 

Not sure what you've been looking for, but "Requested", in stead of "Requestet" might make a difference.

Or this one:

LabVIEW-could-not-create-the-requested-endpoint-Messenger-Ack 

Note that none of these have the exact same error code 1012...

Have you been able to create any channel wire? Are channel wires in general broken?

You could ask a moderator to move your post to the channel wires group: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Channel-Wires/gp-p/5080

Hi wiebe@CARYA

Thanks a lot! You helped me fix the problem.
The computer I am using was set up by my company and the folder "Documents" which also contains "LabVIEW Data" is by default on the network and not stored locally. Apparently this leads to problems.

As described in LabVIEW-could-not-create-the-requested-channel-endpoint I copied the folder "LabVIEW Data" into the local folder "C:\Users\user_name\Documents".

Afterwards I adjusted the default data directory in LabVIEW->Tools->Options->Paths ("C:\Users\user_name\Documents\LabVIEW Data")
And it works!

Thanks and all the best,
Jonas
