Config Data Write To File.VI missing in LV 2009

[Ben]

In the Pre LV 2009 version of the Config File files (vi.lib\utility\config.llb) it was possible to invoke a write to disk using "Config Data Write TO File.vi" that was found in the above llb.

In LV 2009 the Config file functions have been updated and the above VI was omitted.

I logged SR# 1437437 with NI support and they are looking into a work-around.

Q

Anyone else out there using config file function NOT on the palette?

This is a trend which started with the report generation toolkit in 8.6 (which I assume you remember) and will probably continue as NI refactors utility VIs into libraries.

You should read this thread which discusses the issue in general and refers specifically to the config VIs as well. Not having played with the insides of those VIs I don't have any specific insights.
