Hello everybody,
I am trying to deploy my teststand application to a target computer. My teststand application uses: TestStand 2014 (32 bits), LV 2014 SP1 (32 bits).
Following is the problem I encouter while using the deployment tool.
1. While trying to include the LV RTE into my installer, the deployment utility is requesting that I provide LV 2015 installer. See the attached picture.
I wonder why it is asking for LV 2015-64bit installer median. If I ignore the request, the build process failed.
2. I am using shared variable to communicate with the compactRIO controller. The compactRIO controller is the SVE host. My question are,
a. Do I need to 'deploy' my shared variable library, eventhough my system is not a SVE?
b. I read in manual that I can deploy the shared variable libry through the LV utility deploy lilbrary step. So I added this step into the test sequence. Everytime I run the sequence, that step deploys the shared variables. On the target, I wonder if it is necessary to deploy the shared variable on every execution of the test sequence. I think it should only be deployed only once on the target system. Am I right? If so, how do I remove that LV utility deploy library step from the test sequence on the target, since there is no test stand development system on the target.
3. I am using a database to save the test results after each test sequence execution. I can export the database table schema and copy over to the target computer. My question is, how do I import the database table schema into the target, since there is no teststand development system on it (no way to call up the Configure->Result Processing->Database to import the table schema)?
I hope the teststand experts out there can provide me some helping hints to help me understand the whole deployment process. Thank you.
Yours,
