Add Functionality to Modify Build Specification Revision Programmatically

[Julianne_K]

Some customers have indicated an interest in modifying a build specification revision programmatically. The purpose for this is to synchronize the build specification revision with subversion software. 

Although the revision can be entered manually in the build specification, customers would like the option to update the build specification version either in a Pre-Build VI or LabVIEW program. Using property nodes to access build specification properties would be a useful way to implement this feature.

This feature already exists. I've been doing this since LV8.6. Its just not very intuitive.

How have you been doing it? Thanks!

Dan, Could you please post a link to an example code for this? (Example or Tutorial or something) Thanks!

Here you can find a forum thread about it: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-can-I-set-a-build-specificaiton-s-target-filename-and/m-p/181301... . There is a solution in Edit Build Parameters (LV 2010 SP1).zip 118 KB , uploaded by dthor.

Please note that there is a bug in one of the subVIs in that .zip file. The fixed VI is found here:

Should be fixed in LabView 2014

we found out, that the function has a problem when revison is 0.0.0.0. CAR is opened ( CAR #497755)
