how to fix error: -1967362038, IAK_SHARED: (Hex 0x8ABC700A) Not found.

[samriddh]

Hello there,

I have Labview 8.5 with DSC 8.5 installed on my computer. When i deploy the library containing shared variables from project explorer window or by using "Deploy Library.vi", i am getting deployment failed error whose snapshot is attached herewith the request for reference. I looked for the solution on NI website and found a related document "Shared Variable Error Explanations" having link as http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B9366256C53D95CA8625725A007C0287 and followed the solution mentioned associated with the error code which i am getting in my case error: -1967362038, IAK_SHARED:  (Hex 0x8ABC700A) Not found.. I also restarted variable engine on my PC. Error remains even though the other libraries linked with other projects on my computer works fine and get deployed without any deployment error. I also tried rebooting my computer to get this mess cleared. But nothing happened in my favour.  

Very Strange....Can any one tell me what exactly this mess is and how to get out of it.

Replies will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Samriddh,

Thanks for the post.

After doing some research I would recommend that you have followed the advice in the knowledge base:

How do I Deploy Network Shared Variables from a Compiled Executable?

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/04D9A85B6967EE87862571140065EEC6?OpenDocument

Also, I have found this solution worked for several customers:

"

I believe I found where the issue lied.  Several of the Shared Variables had descriptions enabled but there were not actual descriptions entered.  For some reason for these few Variables a line in the XML file that describes the Variables was not present.  Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this issue with a new created shared variable and is most likely isolated to a specific order on how these were created.  For your customer make sure that he goes through the SV library and adds descriptions to the set of variables named 01_iret_ff_1_in.

If you run across an issue like this again make sure to try and isolate out specific Variable that might be causing the issue with the deploy as it will help get you a faster answer.

"

So if no luck, try moving varaibles from one library to the other so that we can find which variable is not correctly configured.

Please let me know how you get on,

Kind Regards,

hello hillman,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the solution suggested by you by moving the shared variables to another library. I also checked for the shared variables properties as descriptions and all.

But it is not working.

One more thing i want you to know that when i go to shared variable manager, the library with which i am facing the problem is shown and if i right click on it to open its properties and creats a new shared variable it works.

Please help me as i dont want to make a new library for my project.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Samriddh Sarbalhi,

Thanks for the reply and I hope your well today.

What does the XML file look like?

As mentioned earlier for some reason in some instances, sometimes the line in the XML file that describes the Variables was not present.

Let me know,

Kind Regards,

Mr. Hillman,

I am also getting this error when i tried to remove the variables and thr process (Library) from variable manager.

The snapshot is attached for your reference.

Hillman,

I am attaching .xls file which was made automatically by LabVIEW when i exported the variables by right clicking the library and selecting export variable option in the shortcut menu.

Is this what you are asking for?

Thanks & Regards,

Mr. Hillman,

I had solved the problem.

I was having a backup copy of my library in which some variables were missing since i last saved my latest application.

All i had replaced with my back up library and corrected the errors as LabVIEW itself lead me to the errors like " this this variable i not in the project and all that".

But i wonder how the error was created and still in confusion.

I am trying to know the reason why i encountered the very first error with which i started the post.

If you are having the reason and some more information to share upon this issue, i will be glad.

I will wait for your reply. Thanks for the support.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Samriddh Sarbalhi,

Thanks for the various updates, I was working through the issue as you were updating it!

Well your solution makes sense because I understand Error 1404 when the variables are in use - which matches the error message your given.

Regarding error 1967362038 (0x8ABC700A), General Description: LabVIEW: Not Found - IAK_SHARED: Not Found. With the advice:

"

This error could occur if you launched LabVIEW and tried to deploy Shared Variables before rebooting after installing LabVIEW; in this case, rebooting the system should resolve the issue.
In other cases, this error means that the Shared Variable Engine configuration can't be found or can't be loaded, and is likely related to a problem with MAX.

"

General advice when you get an error linked this is to use the Variable Manager utility or similar tool (such as the Published Variable Monitor or Distributed System Manager) to verify that the Shared Variable Engine is running; try restarting the Shared Variable Engine using the Variable Manager utility then redeploy the library.

With MAX database errors one of the things you can try is, before you open MAX browse:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data

And delete the contents of the Data folder - this would remove any corrupt files.

Do you still get this error then?

Kind Regards,

Mr. Hillman,

Thanks for updating the required information regarding the issue.

This will definately help me in future regarding shared variable issues.

Now i understand the configuration for the shared variables was corrupted one which lead to this error.

After Replacing the library every thing is working fine and i am still testing my code.

If there would be any issue, i will get back to you sir.

Thanks for your continuous support.
