"-2147417851" during "Get Database Options" of the process model

Hi guys, I am trying to find the cause for this error message, would greatly appreciate if someone can advise me on what can cause this.
The exact step where this error occured is shown in the screenshot attached.
Also, the only thing that I know about this step is it "read database options" from a location on disk.
Does anyone know what file it reads from, and perhaps, which part of the file?
Cheers!!

Simon -
The "Read Database Option - Read Options" step calls the ReadDatabaseOptions method which takes two parameters (Parameters.DatabaseOptions and Parameters.CfgDir).
Parameters.CfgDir is simply a string. But you'll notice that Parameters.DatabaseOptions is a container (named type: DatabaseOptions). Most likely what is happening here is that by using the TestStand 2.0.1 process model, you've carried over the old DatabaseOptions type definition and are now passing it to the new TestStand Database Logging server's ReadDatabaseOptions method, which expects the DatabaseOptions container to have a boolean field called UseTransactionProcessing.
I recommend upgrading the DatabaseOptions type to the TestStand 2010 SP1 version. More so, I recommend porting your TestStand 2.0.1 process model customizations to the TestStand 2010 SP1 process model to ensure you avoid encountering other situations similar to this.
Hope this helps!

    Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
    * Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
    * After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
    * The case is VERY hot.
    * When I open the lid, the display stays black.
    * No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
    * Only way to recover is to power cycle.
    * Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
    Actions:
    * AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
    * I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
    * AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
    I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
    Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

  • Implementing interrupt-like funtionality in the process model

    My application requires testing high-power semiconductor devices.  These devices are water-cooled to keep from exceeding operational temperatures.  I am considering developing my process model to handle the water-cooling which entails monitoring water flow, temperature, and pressure and, if any of these parameters leaves an acceptable range, throw an error the test sequence.
    I know that TS can run a sequence in the process model after each step in the sequence file but I don't think that it will be acceptable if my step is longer than it takes for a fault condition to be generated.  For that reason, I am trying to understand if there is a means to terminate the test sequence if any fault in the process model occurs.
    What is the best way to implement this kind of behavior?

    Hi kc64,
    You are right, editing the process model to check the current state your system after each step would not be the best approach.
    I would recommend running a separate sequence in a new thread within your execution.  This standalone thread would check the state of your system and throw the error you desire upon your system going out of desirable ranges. This will run concurrently during your entire test.
    I hope this helps!

  • How to load the sequence file from the process model?

    Does anyone have an example process model that loads a sequence file? The out-of-the-box process models assume the sequence file is already loaded. I want the process model to identify the UUT type and load the appropriate sequence file based on that.

    Mark,
    A better solution to your question can be accomplised if you have TestStand 2.0.
    Within the entry point of a process modle you can set the client sequence using Execution.ClientFile(). This is a new method of TestStand 2.0. It was specifically designed so that you could dynamically set the client sequence within the process model.
    Currently the entry points in the default process models (i.e. Test UUTs and Single Pass) are configured to Show Entry Point When Client File Window is Active. This means that you must open and have active a client sequence file before you can execute one of the entry point. You probably do not want this implementation if you are going to set the client file during the entry point execution. To change this you will need to go the sequence properties of your entry point (while the sequence is open select Edit>>Sequence Properties), switch to the Model tab of the entry point's property dialog box, and enable Show Entry Point For All Windows. The entry point will then appear whether or not you have an open sequence file active.
    You will need to add at least 3 steps to your entry point sequence that all use the ActiveX Automation Adapter. Remember that MUST disable Record Results for any step you add to the process model. The 3 steps will perform the following tasks:
    1) Obtains a sequence file reference of the file that you want to be the client sequence file. You will need to use the Engine.GetSequenceFileEx method. You will need a local variable (ActiveX data type) in which to store the sequence file reference.
    2) Set the client sequence file using the Execution.ClientFile property.
    3) Close the reference to the client sequence file in the Cleanup step group of your entry point sequence using Engine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx
    I am attaching a SequenceModel.seq file (the default process model in TestStand 2.0) in which we have modified the TestUUTs entry point as described above.
    Note that you'll be prompted to enter the path to your client sequence file. This is a message popup that you can delete and it was added for your review only.
    Good luck in your project,

  • Finding the name of my teststand sequence in the process model

    I would like to be able to find the file path and name of a teststand sequence in the process model. I have created a simple vi which will display this information when run in a sequence. If i insert the vi into the process model, the file path and name returned is that of the process model and not the sequence under exectution. Is there a way of extracting this information in the process model?

    Davepar -
    If you are executing in the process model you can use the following as a lookup string if you are in the root context "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Path" or "RunState.Root.RunState.ProcessModelClient.Path" if you are not in the root context.

  • HT3986 I'm having trouble partitioning my hard drive, I'm attempting to do this from the recovery drive because it's more convenient.  But when it gets about halfway through the process, there's an error message saying that it's having trouble unmounting

    Just realized that the title was limited anyways, I'm in the recovery drive on my macbook pro, trying to partition my macbook with another user (not windows, just another user) with only like 10GB.  It goes fine until it's about halfway done with the process, where it freaks out and tells me that it can't unmount the harddrive. Any suggestions?

    Hi, BDAqua,
    Nice to hear from you. You helped me with another recent question. Thank you.
    The external case is Other World Computing's Mercury Elite Pro with Oxford chip set. Drive is an Hitachi deskstar 500 Gigabyte disk (I'll dig around for exact specs, if needed).
    Weird thing is that the drive (partitioned into two disks, one boot, one for files) shows up in the Finder and in Disk Utility, but not in System Profiler. It's not visible at all there (not under Firewire, by which method it is connected, nor anywhere else). I can access its files, though, via Finder.
    Very strange.

  • Regarding display resolution options on the latest model

    I just purchased the the latest model. I've been using Mac for a few years and in each version there has been a "streched" option available for some of the resolutions. I've got too used to that. Right now it's set on 1024 * 640. Is there any way to get the "streched" option to show up?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Somewhat confused about what RAM to get for PB G4 (the DDR2 model)

    Hello. This is a long post since I'll try and explain in great detail what the problem is. I've purchased a refurbished 15.2" Power Book G4 off ebay the other day, it is the last 15 inch powerbook G4 apple released in October '05 since it has DDR2 RAM.
    I haven't got the laptop yet, but figured I'd think ahead and get some more RAM for it to max it out. However I'm in a confused state of mind now as to what RAM will actually work in the laptop. On the Apple specification page for the laptop (which also lists the 1.67ghz 17 inch and the 1.5ghz 12 inch), it states for the 15 inch that it works with:
    "512MB (single SO-DIMM) of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM running at 333MHz; two SO-DIMM slots; support for up to 2GB"
    Is that correct though? PC2-4200 RAM is 533MHz, not 333MHz. Or at least all the PC2-4200 RAM I can find is running at 533MHz. The 333MHz DDR2 modules are called PC2-2700. The other odd thing is, I use lowendmac.com a lot for specifications since I find they tend to list more details than Apple generally do (or at least they tend to go into more detail). On the page for the same laptop they state:
    "RAM: 512 MB, expandable to 2 GB using 533 MHz PC2-4200 DDR2 RAM"
    So they are apparently in agreement with my train of thought here. Not that I'm disagreeing with the official Apple specifications of course, it's just really confusing. Now I know I need SO-DIMM RAM, so I went onto an online retailer I generally use for this sort of stuff and found some Kingston value ram real cheap:
    1GB, SO-DIMM, PC2-4200 533MHz, Non-ECC CL4 Unbuffered 1.8v module. Model number KVR533D2S4/1G.
    Is this going to work in the laptop? If I believe Lowendmac.com, it will. If I believe Apple specs, it probably won't, or at least it may cause undesirable operation. Just to see what Kingston had to say on this, I went onto Kingston's website (valueram.com), I used the configurator search function and put in powerbook g4 as model, and it showed me a list of powerbooks. I picked mine (15 inch using DDR2) and sure enough it came up with the right page, and listed two RAM modules Kingston sell. A 512mb (of which I'll ignore), and the 1GB (the one I want).
    The 1GB module was model number KTA-PB533/1G. Now just looking at that suggests to me that it is 533MHz, since it has 533 in the model name (and a trend with Kingston model numbers is to put the speed in the model name). Just to be sure though I did look for some detailed specifications but oddly enough I couldn't find any for that RAM module on their website so I googled it instead, and came up with several websites suggesting that it was 533MHz.
    So, what should I do here? It would seem Apple's specs saying 333MHz was wrong, however I've got two RAM modules by Kingston here and they both appear to have the same specifications except one is obviously specifically for the powerbook, the other is just for generic laptops. So unless the one specifically for the powerbook is a different shape or something I can't see any reason why I should should pay a lot more money for the specific model, when I can get the apparent same exact RAM module for a bargain.
    This is, confusing.

    Strong recommendation to not go 'cheap' on the memory. Powerbooks are particular about the quality of memory, due primarily to the way Apple manages power on the memory bus. While some memory can meet Apple's published specs, it can fail in use. if you scan these discussions, you'll find people who have tried the KVR (Kingston value ram) memory and it has not worked for them. If you want to try it, suggest you get it from someplace you can return it and get your money back.
    As already mentioned, Crucial (also sold as Micron) and Samsung are two brands that work reliably. Regular Kingston memory works well too. Crucial guarantees their memory will work when chosen from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually find a discount coupon on the web too. Samsung you buy through distributors, and I'd also recommend OWC at http://www.macsales.com . Kingston you already know is at http://www.kingston.com . You can scan the discussions for other brands that have worked (like Hynix, mentioned in the prior post, for example).

  • Worth getting apple care for the Retina model?

    Have to agree completely with that.
    If I was in the market for a new Mac it certainly would not be one of the Retina models. Way to expense for what you get and then there are all the problems with it.
    You know I've been doing my work and having fun on computer for over 20 years and never needed a screen like the Retina to actually get things done and make some money.

  • How do I delete emails without having to open them please? I have a Mac Air. Using my previous PC I could delete emails without opening but I don't seem to be getting this option on the Mac. Thanks.

    I am new to using a Mac. How do I delete emails without opening them? Using my old PC it was possible to delete suspect emails prior to opening them, however I don't seem to be given this option. If I click on a message it opens straight away and I am worried about opening emails when I don't know where they are from. Thanks

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Is there some type of state chart or flow chart which describes the process model order of execution?

    One of my customers asked me this question...
    I'm have an issue with a change in the execution order in TestStand 4.1.1.  [he has upgraded from 3.1 to 4.1.1]  It looks like ProcessModelPreStep runs earlier in 4.1.1 than it does in 3.1.  This causes our model to error out because some required variables haven't been defined when it runs.  I wish there was a big flow chart or state diagram for TestStand.  Maybe there is and I don't know where to look?

  • No repeat option available for the process step in process chain

    If the process chain failed at the ODS activation level, generally the repeat option will be available for activation and to continue the next step. But in some cases the repeat option will not be available for the process step.
    Is there any process to get the repeat option in the process chain?

  • Is their a activeX api function to set the database option "database logging enabled" to true or false?

    Hello!
    I want to decide dynamically while running a sequence to log the results to a database or not.
    So I need to set the "database logging enabled" property by a activex function call.
    Does a activex api function exist? I didn't found one, or is their an other way to change the property value?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi,
    Ah! I understand.
    You can change the runtime properties from you sequence or inside your step by using the Lookup string of
    "RunState.Caller.Locals.DatabasesOptions.DisableDatabaseLogging"
    Use the TS API  PropertyObject.SetValBoolean("DatabasesOptions.DisableDatabaseLogging", 0, newValue) method with RunState.Caller.Locals as your ActiveX Reference. (where newValue would be True or False.)
    Depending at what level you perform this API method depends how many "RunState.Caller" you have in your lookup string.
    eg.
    My example of
    PropertyObject.SetValBoolean("DatabasesOptions.DisableDatabaseLogging", 0, newValue) with RunState.Caller.Locals as your ActiveX Reference is based on a step in MainSequence which has been called by the Process Model sequence.
    If you have a step in a Sub-Sequence of MainSequence then the lookup string would be
     "RunState.Caller.RunState.Caller.Locals" as the activeX reference.
    Hope this helps
