cannot connect compile server

[rkkallur]

I am trying to load the tutorial FPGA VI on to my cRIO 9004 unit, and get this error while compiling

The compile server does not have any workers available that can do a Xilinx 10.1 compilation.

* You may not have the correct compilation tools installed.
* The local compile worker may be configured for a different compile server.
* The local compile worker may be in an error state.

Details
Error -123002 occurred at niFpgaCompileFarm_OpenJob.vi

Possible reason(s):

NI-Farm:  No worker has registered the given capability name.


Complete call chain:
     niFpgaCompileFarm_OpenJob.vi
     niFpgaCompileWorker_OpenJob.vi
     niFpgaCompile_Worker.vi:1

Start Time: 17:50:14
End Time: 17:51:07
Total Time: 00:00:54

And i try to manually acess the compile worker .exe file, and  it says the xilinx tool installation needs to be checked. and that it could not load a file.(SEE ATTACHMENT)

I am not trying to connect to any remote computer. its local server. these are teh details of my computer

WIN 7 32-bit

LV 2010 full dev

LV fpga, Real time all latest

xilinx 10.1 (my chassis is crio 9104 which uses a virtex-II gateway)

I read that xilinx has no full support for WIN 7 yet. and saw that on their website too. But i do see other ppl with some problems on compile server with WIN 7 OS, but seem to have solved the problem(although not similar to mine). WHich means that they have made it work somehow. (also xilinx website says that it has LIMITED support for win 7)

I am really stuck here. I am still in my learning phase and (just trying to compile the tutorial VI!!) and i dont want to lose time . I am feeling really stuck here. any help would be great!

Thanks!

Have you tried doing what the error says to do (reinstall)?

Hi

yes. i did that too. it didnt work. However, yesterday, i switch on my computer and it works fine the whole day! Today i switch on gain it does not. I guess its got something to do with the tcp/ip configuration maybe. Since the compile server passes through tcp/ip no matter whether it runs the server from my computer or a remote one. I have set my network connection to automatically configure for ip address etc. and also the cRIO 9004 equipment is also on DHCP settings. I will work on the tcp/ip settings and see if anything works. Would love more suggestions from you guys.

Thank you!

OK. i think i got it. I reset my network connection and asked labview to compile. it could not connect to compile server. while it was going through re-attempting to connect, i launched the compile server manually,by clicking on  compile server.exe and thats when labview made connection. I guess i must have overlooked some instruction somewhere that compile server.exe must be launched before making an attempt to compile.

Also, i need to mention that i was able to run the compile server manually because i removed the malware that was in my comp which did not let it open (or so i guess, as after running my anti-malware it started working). the error in the image attached no longer appears.

I am working with the same system and I get the same error-message.The only difference is I have to do a Xilinx 11.5 compilation because of the cRIO-9074.

The Compile Worker status is connected to server and in the jobs field is written "Registered Capabilities: ('Xilinx 10.1'  'Xilinx 11.5')".

But in in the worker log is a warning: This Capability failed to register with the server: ... (See Attachment)

Thank you very much!

Best Regards

Where can I find the compile server.exe? I only found compileServer.dll in the CompileWorker-directory. I also searched for a process or service looking like compile server, but found nothing!

Has anybody an idea what to do?

Mechantronicer,

   If you have the NI FPGA module installed you can start a compile worker by opening the compile worker application. Go to the windows Start button » Programs » National Instruments » FPGA » FPGA Compile Worker.

Hi Ben,

Thanks, but the Compile Worker is not the problem. He starts automatically, when I start the build-process, and gives the status: connected to compilation server. But when LabVIEW pop up the Compilation Status window I got the same communication error as in the opening message. I already tried to turn off the firewall, but this doesn't matter.

Best regards

Michael

Hi Mechatronicer

i dont know if this is too late, but could you tell if you can see compile server.exe running on your task manager or at the right-bottom corner of your windows taskbar? If yes, then it has launched the compile server and is connected. the problem then  might be elsewhere. But if you cannot see compileworker.exe in your task manager then you might have luck in reinstalling the fpga, and finding the compile worker .exe in your programs and running it manually.
