Has the LabVIEW Tools Network crashed?

[Bob_Schor]

Colleagues,

     I'm (trying to) configure a new LabVIEW 2022 installation, which includes loading the JKI LabVIEW Tools Network.  I fired up VIPM, let it do its initial Database search, and got the following:

 Of course, it's OpenG that I'm trying to load ...  So I tried on my main work machine, where the VIPM was definitely working (I'd installed OpenG a few years ago), and got the same strange error (it also took a long time, maybe 30 seconds, to start "looking for updates).

It could, of course, be my network, but I'd just finished Step 1 of trying to install LabVIEW 2022, and it seemed to install in a "reasonable amount of time", and didn't complain.  Indeed, I was just using installation of OpenG as a brief test that the installation was OK ...

I'll try to log into JKI's site, but thought I'd mention this here.

Hi Bob,

I got the same messages today, but I could install any packages I needed (NI Modbus, GPower, OpenG, …)…

Same here but only for the VI Package Network.

It seems like http://www.jkisoft.com/ is down.

Spoiler

Main Package Name: OpenG String Library v5.0.0.25
Package Name with Error: OpenG String Library v5.0.0.25
Error Message: VIPM could not download the package oglib_string-5.0.0.25 from the remote server.
Error Code: -124109
Error Source: . URL: "http://www.jkisoft.com/packages/packages/oglib_string/oglib_string-5.0.0.25.vip".

Ah, the key line is "OpenG mirrors list".  I logged into JKI and left a message.

I have been getting that same message for the NI Tools Network for over a year.

I just assumed there was a falling out between NI and JKI

This is certainly new on our end. I've been doing some installs recently including VIPM packages and this is the first I've seen that message when refreshing the repos.

[edit] Seems to be back up now.

I called JKI, got an operator who didn't know what I meant by "the Server has crashed", but said she'd call, and I also left Voice Mail for JKISoft.  When I tried it a few hours later, it was back up.

Seems like it's down again 🙄
