Hi all

I am trying to set up a client server application by using a Server VI, IO Server library, shared variable library and Client Vi and i am running into problem. I set everything up, deployed all variables and when i go to run my client vi green arrows appear which tells me everything seems to be working ok but it is not actually communicating with my server vi. When i open the distibuted tools manager and switch an output on my client vi you can see the changes in this application but when i switch an output in my server vi it is not even changing in the distributed system manager.
I was wondering has anyone any idea. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Barry

Hi BBloger,

could you upload your Project, or show some Screenshots ?
Is your Project running on a RT-System and a PC or on 2 PC´s ? To get Variables from one system to another system via TCPIP you should use Network shared Varaibles...

Hi santi1222

This is actually a sample project and i am making a server VI and about three different client vi,s on the same pc so there is no tcpip required. i am really only simulating a client server application

I cannot imagine what you are trying to do. Without screenshots or your VIs it is difficult to help you.

... on the same pc so there is no tcpip required.

Even on a local PC shared variables are transmitted via tcpip. The shared variables engine should be running and should not be disturbed by your firewall.
