How to host a webVI as dashboard in SystemLink server?

[andre.buurman@carya]

Hi,

How can I host a webVI as dashboard in SystemLink server?

I can't seem to find any examples. I did manage to host them in SystemLink cloud using the examples.

A trick where I tried to load the SystemLink cloud hosted webVI in a SystemLink server dashboard's iFrame seems to fail.

Thanks.

Hey André,

We have this example which should work to host a Web VI on your SystemLink Server. Let me know if you have any problems following the example.

Thanks Brandon,

Seeing the example I remember seeing this before, but couldn't find it. 

I'll try first tomorrow.

I followed the instructions as described, but ran into the following issues after restarting the server:

Error loading privilege definition file for webvi_plugin. The 'name' attribute is invalid - The value 'Almond Dashboard' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn:com:ni:web:privilege:fileNameType' - The Pattern constraint failed. There is an error in XML document (2, 14). Privilege descriptions and defaults will be unavailable.	C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Web Server\conf\htpriv.d\webvi_plugin.xml

Hoorah

The webVI shows up in SystemLink and also runs, despite the webserver error posted above.

It has issues, but I'll save that for a different post if I can't solve it myself.

Thanks, although I would still like to resolve the error mentioned in my previous reply.

Somehow these errors vanished along the way, I don't know why.

This link is broken.

@JoshuaP can you update the link?

We moved the template to the official NI GitHub repository.
