If you do not install DIAdem, you need the Windows Scripting Host if you use VBS-DataPlugins.
Note DataFinder Server Edition, LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit, and DIAdem Version 10.0 and later versions install and use a common software component (DataFinder client), which is refreshed by the installation of the DataFinder Server Edition. When you uninstall DataFinder Server Edition, the current version of the shared component remains. This is intentional and has been tested extensively.
DataFinder Server Edition 1.0, LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit 2009, DIAdem 9.0, LabWindows/CVI 8.1, and LabVIEW 7.1 and later versions install and use a common software component (USI), which is refreshed by the installation of the DataFinder Server Edition. When you uninstall DataFinder Server Edition, the current version of the shared component remains. This is intentional and has been tested extensively.
Note DataFinder Server Edition does not support the volume license manager from National Instruments.
Clients of DataFinder Server Edition 2015
Some of the new features and improvements of DataFinder Server Edition can only be used with the respective National Instruments DataFinder clients.
National Instruments recommends the use of the following products for the implementation of DataFinder Server Edition 2015.
DIAdem 2015
LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit 2015
If you are a member of a federation you can use DataFinder Server Edition 2014 or higher. Every program that supports the ASAM ODS CORBA interface, can connect to the DataFinder ASAM ODS server.
New FeaturesNew Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2015
Backup and Restore DataFinder Servers
Improved search performance through column-oriented search
Continuous scan for new and changed files which are then indexed.
Display of extended statistical information about the indexed data
Automation interface for creating DataFinder servers and configuring the most important DataFinder server settings
New Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2014
DataFinder Server Edition 2014 is a 64-bit application.
With the DataFinder federation server you can access up to 100 DataFinder servers simultaneously through a common interface.
You can configure the system storage, which the DataFinder index uses, in detail.
If you use DataFinder Server Edition 2014 as an ASAM ODS server or create a DataFinder federation, you can use the new dialog box in the DataFinder manager in order to create a user-defined navigation hierarchy. To do so, you use optimized custom properties from the file level or group level of the TDM data model without changing the data.
You can synchronize DataPlugins between DIAdem or LabVIEW clients and a DataFinder server.
New Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2013
The security settings for DataFinder server has been revised. The permissions for the clients will continue to be set in the Windows permission dialog boxes, but the DataFinder saves all security settings with the program. You also can define individual security settings for individual search areas.
The DataFinder compresses the data to be transferred in order to increase throughput, especially in network environments with a low transfer rate.
Sort your indexed data stores,for example, according to year and month to get a different view. You can also filter the views.
You can now use the DataFinder Server Edition as ASAM ODS server:
- Read-only ASAM ODS CORBA interface
- Application model which can be extended during runtime (compatible with ASAM ODS version 5.3) with a user-defined test hierarchy and units catalog.
- Windows Active Directory based security settings
- UNICODE support
- Generic ATF/XML support
You can now add search areas to a DataFinder server which the DataFinder Manager cannot access. This covers the case in which the DataFinder Manager is executed by a different user than the actual DataFinder server.
In the DataFinder Manager you can now search for updates of existing DataPlugins and install these DataPlugins by pressing a button.
New Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2012
You can now enable automatic indexing of data in the search areas. You can specify whether the DataFinder indexes new or changed files immediately or whether a job file regularly executes the indexing tasks.
The DataFinder Server Edition can now refresh the content of the index more quickly because it uses several parallel indexing processes when indexing new and changed files.
You can use a scheduler to regularly optimize the index in order to process search queries more quickly.
New Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2011
Use the Microsoft SQL Server Index Adaptor to integrate the DataFinder Server Edition in companies with existing Microsoft SQL Server database systems. DataFinder Server Edition in this case uses the features of the Microsoft SQL Server for sophisticated, business critical applications, and can also be integrated into existing maintenance processes, for example backup/restore or optimization. To use the SQL Server index-adaptor, you need Microsoft SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2.
Corrected Errors and Incompatibilities
The following section lists some of the issues fixed in DataFinder Server Edition. This is not an exhaustive list of issues fixed in the current DIAdem version. If you have a CAR ID, you can search this list to validate that the issue has been fixed.

Incompatibilities of DataFinder Server Edition Version 2015 with Previous Versions
Indexing TDM files may lead to timeouts.
File information from disabled DataPlugins is no longer indexed.
Navigating in the tree view of the DataFinder manager no longer triggers automatic indexing. You can use the indexing function in the context menu instead.
Due to performance optimizations, the number of indexed groups and channels can no longer be determined from DIAdem or DataFinder Toolkit. Alternatively, you can use the statistics information of the DataFinder manager.
Fixed Issues in DataFinder Server Edition 2014
CAR ID
Description
436239
You can access an ASAM server without a password even if the the security settings are enabled.
444626
Famos cannot read any bulk data from National Instruments ASAM servers.
475693
The security settings of a search area cannot be exported or duplicated.
Incompatibilities of DataFinder Server Edition Version 2014 with Previous Versions
You can no longer install DataFinder Server Edition on a 32-bit operating system.
You can no longer delete earlier DataFinder server versions in the DataFinder manager.
By default DataFinder Server Edition 2014 enables only TDM and TDMS DataPlugins when a new DataFinder server is created. If an ASAM ODS server is being created, the ATFX_TDM DataPlugin is also enabled. All further DataPlugins you need, you must enable manually.
DataFinder Server Edition 2014 searches for a search term with umlauts in the same way as for a search term without umlauts. Searching for a search term containing the letter Ä, for example, returns the results of a search for a search term with the letter A. The same applies for sorting search results with Order By.
Fixed Issues in DataFinder Server Edition 2013
If you install the DataFinder Server Edition on Windows Server 2008 R2, authentication may not be possible in some network environments. If the security settings of the DataFinder are active in such a network environment, DataFinder clients, such as DIAdem or DataFinder Toolkit, cannot establish a connection with a DataFinder server, even if they have the necessary access rights.
Incompatibilities of DataFinder Server Edition Version 2013 with Previous Versions
Since version 2013, the DataFinder Server Edition has been using its own security settings instead of the Windows security settings.
When creating a new DataFinder index, the DataFinder no longer adds the register properties to the individual levels.
Earlier DataFinder servers can only be upgraded to version 2010.
From version 2013 the DataFinder Server Edition will show in the DataFinder manager only DataFinder servers up to and including 2010. If you want to use DataFinders from earlier versions, you can upgrade the DataFinder with an earlier version of the DataFinder manager to a version which supports the DataFinder Server Edition 2013. You can also create a new DataFinder server in the current version.
From Version 2013, the DataFinder Server Edition does not index the file, group, and channel properties with the names registertxt1 ... registertxt3, and the channel properties with the names registerint1 ... registerint6, and registerval1 ... registerval6. This means that these properties are no longer available for search queries.
Fixed Issues in DataFinder Server Edition 2012

Install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 to solve this error. Microsoft describes this problem on the Microsoft website in the KnowledgeBase entry 2640696. A hotfix for this issue is on the Microsoft website in the KnowledgeBase entry 983246.
Automating the Installation of NI Products
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.
For more information, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
Refer to KB 4CJDP38M, Automating the Installation of a Single Installer for more information on automatic installations of individual NI products.
For more information on silent installations of suited NI products, such as NI Developer Suite, refer to KB 4GGGDQH0, Automating the Installation of a Suited Installer.
Refer to KB 4CJDR18M, How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer? for a description of the version of the NI Installer your product contains.
