Labview 2011: Distributed System Manager does not load variables in process

[Cheese11]

Hi everyone,

I'm having problems with the DSM of Labview 2011.

My application consists of a main VI.

There will be loaded a sub VI in this main VI, which subVI will be loaded depends on the button that is pressed.

The problem that I have is the following(the problem comes up on a Windows 7 system, on Windows XP system everything works well):

- When I open a subVI, it will be opened in mij DSM, but it takes a while before it is visible, not immediately but after a while.

- Normally, when I open the process(in the DSM) of the subVI, the variables that are present in the subVI, should be visible.

- In this case, non of the variables is visible.

Is it possible that there is something wrong with the DSM?

Or do I have to make some changes to my settings on the computer?

The firewall is off and the DCOM settings are ok.

I hope someone can help me.

With kind regards,

Cheese

I observed a similar behaviour in case I changed my configuration during development: the variables were not changed accordingly, from time to time.

The most effective corrective actions was to manually stop and restart the NI Variable Engine service.

Surprisingly, restarting the PC was uneffective.

Hi,

I have some questions according your problem with a VI and DSM.

- Have you test it on a other PC?

- What is the result of restarting the NI Variable Engine service?
