can't change single process to network published (option disabled)

Solved!
Go to solution

I have some software running on a fieldpoint which normally runs standalone but I need to run a simulator for debugging purposes on a windows machine. The RT software uses several single-process shared variables which are deployed to the target. In order to run the simulator which accesses VIs also deployed to the target, I need to also access these variables on the windows machine (but only during simulation).

 

I thought I could do this simply by changing the shared variables from 'single process' to 'network published' through their properties dialogue. However, when I access these variables, the network-published option is greyed out. Does anyone know why this is? I'd rather not have to recreate these variables from scratch as they are connected in several places in the application.

 

I have included the library file containing these variables, in case someone knows about something I've set in them which is preventing the change to network published.

Hi Kgolden

 

The reason you are not able to select Network Published is because the queue refnum is not a data type that can be sent through a network published shared variable.
