Fail to deploy EPICS server on Windows

[marciodo_SLAC]

Hello. I'm trying to deploy an EPICS server on Windows, but it always complains with the error:

error: -2067353909, LabVIEW: (Hex 0X84C6AECB) The EPICS Server I/O Server cannot be deployed because one or more PV source variables do not exist. Open the configuration dialog to check and correct broken source variables.

Deployment completed with errors.

The individual PVs are deployed according to the Deployment Progress dialog. I can't find a "configuration dialog" so I can check the broken source variables.

LabVIEW 2024 Q1 (32-bit) 24.1.1f1

Hello,

Sorry I can't offer an answer but I am trying to do the same. The example given in this link; 

Interactively Configuring LabVIEW EPICS I/O Clients and Servers - NI

includes a step to create bound variables, and it is not possible to create them per these instructions using LabView version 2024.

Thanks for confirming denzimk. I'll try with LabVIEW 2023 to see how it goes.

I stated there was an issue with bound variables, but that is on the client side. I have verified that the EPICS server has an issue of not deploying.

If you get rid of the EPICS server and just create a shared variable, it will deploy.

Using Network Published Shared Variables to Communicate Between Systems - NI

The issue is with the EPICS server. I will keep looking.

Right click on the server and choose Properties to get the Configure Server Window.

Click Add/Remove Variables to add the variables you added to the library.

Here is the issue. When you add the variables the first time, they are only in the Project option.

Add them anyway, save and try to deploy. You will get an error. Go back to the Configure Server window and now add the variables from the Network tab. THis seems to correct the path names.

Remove the variables added from the Project option. Now try to Deploy/Run your VI.

Worked for me. Seems to be a bug in EPICS.
