target deployment conflicts

[josh_c]

When I try to deploy my VI to a cRIO 9012 I get the following error:

"Access Denied.  The target is locked for a deployment operation by another process such as a VI or NI Distributed System Manager.  Ensure that all other deployment operations are complete before attempting to deploy. If you continue to encounter this conflict, refer to the "Deploying and Running VIs on an RT Target" topic in the LabVIEW Help for information about resolving target deployment conflicts."

I have tried hitting reset, and rebooting the target, but I can't get it unlocked.  How do I clear/erase the cRIO?

Josh,

I believe we have an ongoing service request to address this issue but I haven't heard back from you yet. 

Are you using Shared Variables in your program? If so, did you take a look at the suggested link Deploying and Running VIs on an RT Target?

I know I also suggested reformatting your controller. You can follow the steps in this article to see if this resolves the issue.

Did any of these options help or are you still experiencing the issue?

Yes, I got your reply.

I had reset, rebooted, and reinstalled the software on the controller, but had not reformatted.  Once I reformatted everything works now.  Thanks for your help
