lv 8.5 bug or dsc 8.5 bug

[cosmin]

I've created a dsc 8.5 project with thousands of shared variables distributed in 12 libraries. Every shared variables has the description parameter enabled (the description beeing a string meaning an index number in the system).

 A vi register the shared variables for event structure (data updated event). When the shared variable has data updated event the description of that shared variable is read through property node. In labview development system everything works fine, but when the application is built the property node return empty string every time for every shared variable.

Hi,

Does anyone managed to read (through property nodes) any property of a shared variable that returns a string, in a built application?

I haven't

Hello Cosmin,

Please read the following knowledge base regarding deploying network shared variables from a compiled executable.

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

are you serios!!!!

did you actually think that the shared variables are not deployed!!!!!!!!!!

It takes 1 minute to create a VI who reads description property of a shared variable, deploy it, make a exe and run it. Tell me if it works.

Why don't YOU create a simple program if it will only take a minute then post the code, project and EXE so someone can help you.

Cosmin,

You are correct, the executable seems to have a bug. One of our Application Engineers will file a Correction Action Request for this bug and the R&D department will be notified.

This was reported to R&D (# 4FTC7ETM) for further investigation.

Hi

I have a similar problem to this (see below) and was wondering if a fix is available yet because the workaround is unsuitable?

I have produced a VI in LabVIEW 8.2 which runs fine in development and .exe versions.  When the same VI is transferred to LabVIEW 8.5 it runs fine in the developmnent environment but produces an error in the .exe file.  The project and VI builds ok and runs ok but produces an error when getting the shared variable properties.  The error I get is:

Error -1967362020 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in Open DataSoc Conn to all Shared Vars in Lib(SubVI).vi->HMI Engine.vi
Possible reason(s):
IAK_SHARED:  (Hex 0x8ABC701C) The provided refnum is invalid.

I've debugged both the exe and dev versions, the shared variable references entering the property node are the same, and appear to be valid.  I have repeated the problem on another PC running 8.5.  I think the problem may be the different versions but I don't know how to fix it.

I am running Windows XP.
