Two Easy Ways to Hang LabVIEW 8.5

[FlamingYawn]

Method 1:

1.  Place a "TCP Open Connection" primitive on the block diagram of a blank VI

2.  Wire an empty string constant into the "remote port or service name" terminal

3.  Run the VI

Method 2:

1.  Place a "TCP Open Connection" primitive on the block diagram of a blank VI

2.  Wire any non-empty string into the "remote port or service name" terminal

3.  Wire a '0' into the "timeout ms (60000)" terminal

4.  Run the VI

Is anyone able to do this without hanging?

This is obviously a problem with the NI Service Locator.

NI, is this a known issue?  If not, could you post the CAR numbers you file?

Thanks,

With Automatic Error Handling Enabled on the VI:

Method 1 generates Error 1, An input parameter is invalid.

Method 2 Generates Error 56, Timeout.

Neither one causes 8.5 to hang for me.

With Automatic Error Handling Disabled on the VI:

Both cause 8.5 to hang

Interesting

Hi Robert.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  I have submitted a CAR on this and I am waiting to hear back from our Research and Development department.  I will post the CAR details as soon as they are processed.  Thanks again!
