Accessing Cluster Data From an External Application Using the DataSocket

I am trying to interface to a legacy system running a rather large and complex LabView application (which I really don't want to modify). The data I need to access has been posted on the DataSocket server as a cluster. Is there any way of accessing that data as a structure from an external application? I do have Measurement Studio and its CNiDataSocket classes and I am able to connect to the data, but I can't see how I can pull the data over and extract the values that I require.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to send data from an external application to a plug-in that executes a menu item?

I want to pass some parameters from an external appliaction to my own plug-in. The plug-in creates a menu item for adding electronic signature. The menu item is executed from my external application using MenuItemExecute("mymenutem").

Since you control the application AND the plugin - you can define ANY method of communication you want. Shared files, shared memory, IPC, named pipes, etc.

I can't save the data from an 8753SE VNA using the driver from NI

Hi,
I'm using the labview 8.0 to control an 8753SE vector network analyzer (VNA). The VNA is supposed to be controlled using a driver from NI; however, I couldn't do that using the vi files from the driver. I'm using a GPIB cable from Agilent (http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?nid=-34195.426029.00&cc=US&lc=eng) to connect the VNA to my PC. The GPIB cable is configured using Agilent IO libraries suite 15.5. Do you I need to use MAX to check if my PC is talking to my VNA? and if yes, how can I do that? If no, do you suggest any solutions to this dilemma?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmad

Ahmad,
Did you try to establish connection to the VNA using Agilents connection expert which you downloaded with the IO libraries? To use the NI drivers I'm guessing you will be using NI-VISA. (Unless the driver is really old. I don't have this hardware and haven't downloaded that driver). If you have established a connection you must enter the correct address in the VISA resource for the initialization function. Wire your error lines to an indicator so you can see if anything goes wrong. See this thread for some issues other folks fixed.
Hope this helps.
Note: you should have posted this to the Instrument Control board. This board is for NI instruments.

How to receive data from an external application

In one of our requirements we would have to make use of the resume/suspend plug in Web Dynpro Abap. Would anyone happen to have any other information on this topic. Is there a sample program available which demonstrates the same?
The requirement is that, I have to call an external window (output screen) from my present screen (input screen). While this external window is active, the calling window (input screen) should be disabled. When the external window (output screen) is closed the input screen should be enabled again. The external window returns a parameter list and this needs to be received by my application. I have read that suspend/resume plugs can be used for this. However, I have not been able to figure out how to use them.
Additionally, is there any other approach for achieving the above functionality.

Hello Hari,
Refer these links for understanding the usage of suspend/resume plugs.

How do you pass an ActiveX Variant from an external application to LabVIEW?

Background: I created a LabVIEW ActiveX server. I can access it with my external application (Matlab). I have a control variable in my LabVIEW executable. I want to use Active X to set the value of my control variable from my external application.
Documentation: The only reference in the documentation for this task is in the Using ActiveX with LabVIEW in the LabVIEW 2009 help. It simply says "Use the variant control and indicator to pass data to or from ActiveX controls." I also went through all the ActiveX examples in the example finder and did not find any vis that passed variables using ActiveX.
Questions:
What should my control variable look like in LabVIEW? Should it be a refnum, a variant, or a data type? Does it have to be wired to a vi connector?
Do I need to do any magic on this variable, such as change its properties?
How do I pass the value from my external application to the variable in my LabVIEW executable?
Thank you.

Hello Lyn,
The control variable should be a refnum and it would have to be wired to Automation Open with the correct reference.
Here are some great examples of using ActiveX Server in LabVIEW

Accessing Essbase cubes within a HP application using Essbase add-in

Hi All,
I've been told in the past by Oracle Support personnel that accessing the Essbase cubes within a Planning application using the MS Excel Essbase add-in is "a very bad idea" and that such an approach "is not supported\recommended by Oracle due to potential issues" (which the support person could not tell me about).
Unfortunately, I have not found any information in the Planning documentation which supports or not this recommendation.
As such:
1. Could anyone point me in the right direction in terms of finding out whether it is recommended\supported (or not) for users to access Essbase cubes within a Planning application using the Essbase add-in?
2. Has anyone ever experienced issues accessing Essbase cubes within a Planning application using the MS Excel Essbase add-in? If yes, what were these issues??
PS: We are on v9.3.1.x of Essbase\Planning and will be moving over to v11.1.2.x in the next 6-8 months.
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your prompt & informative response.
On the topic of metadata, I am aware of what happens when changes are made directly to an Essbase outline which falls under a Planning application without going following the proper method ... and I agree that it ain't pretty! :-)
On the topic of locking\sending data to the Essbase cubes within a Planning application, I also understand that it works quite well in as much as the data is saved in the appropriate intersections within the Essbase cube, as permitted by the security assigned to the user.
I was more interested in whether such a practice of locking\sending data directly to Essbase cubes within a Planning application was actually encouraged or discouraged by Oracle.
And please correct me if I am wrong but from what you are saying, it seems to me that it is neither as:
- on one hand, the "Essbase Write" HSS feature allows administrators to create security groups and assign this type of provisioning to security groups in question;
- on the other hand, Oracle Support seems to be verbally discouraging such a practice for no real reasons related to technological limitations;
The problem that I have is that because some users at our site know that they can lock\send data to Essbase cubes within a Planning application and as a result, not only want to get us to grant similar lock\send access to other users but are now more reticent than ever to move away from the Essbase add-in as a means to load\submit data to a Planning application. And that's why I was after some formal recommendation from Oracle as to whether it is a recommended practice or not.
Anyway, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Regards,
JBM

How do i recover data from an external hard drive that was accidentally deleted? After I verified the drive, a message appeared that said my drive needed to be repaired. When I tried to access the drive again, the 700 Gigs of music is gone!

How do i recover data from an external hard drive that was accidentally deleted? After I verified the drive, a message appeared that said my drive needed to be repaired. When I tried to access the drive again, the 700 Gigs of music is gone!

Stop using the drive immediately, un plug it.
Buy a copy of ProSoft DataRescue 4 and use it to search for deleted files.

Can I transfer data from one external drive to another using my MacAir as a platform?

I am trying to transfer about 94 Gigs of data from one external drive (Touro) to another (Seagate) using my Mac Air which only has about 14 Gigs of available space. How best can I accomplish this operation?

Niel - I know that I must be a real dunce on this. I tried opening the additional window on finder and then dragging and dropping from the Touro drive to the other open finder window for the Seagate drive. Again, it bounced back. What is NTFS? And how do I find if either or both of the drives are formatted in that manner?
Again, thanks for you help on this.
JC
PS I just got the info on the Seagate that it is Windows NTFS formatted. What do I do now? Is Paragon something I can download off the Internet? Why, since I formatted the Seagate to run on my Mac Air would there still be a problem? The packaging on the Seagate says it is compatible with Mac OS systems. jc

Catalog Browser for iPhone (Accessing BI data from iPhone)

Hi All,
There is a prototype from innovative centre called "Catalog Browser for iPhone" which is used for accessing BI data from iPhone. Do anyone have any idea if this is ever productized for sale by SAP??
Is there any other approach for accessing BI data from iPhone? Any help will be highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Raja Sekhar K

Hello Damondhar,
I agree with Mr. Villalba, you should use the information brodcaster to broadcast precalucated views or workbooks to Knowledge Management in the portal. This can be done by events, e.g monthly. Your external users will then have accees to the directory in which the reports are saved (through KM iviews).

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

How can I remove all Time Machine data from an external HD, while retaining the other folders/files on the disk?

I recently replaced my old Macbook Pro with a new Macbook Pro Retina.
The original MBP had Time Machine set up on an external HD, and I also had some manually saved/backed up files (stuff that didn't need incremental backups; very old stuff) on the disk as well, in folders. This worked fine and well for the life of the original MBP.
When I set up the MBPr, I did not elect to transfer everything over from a Time Machine disk, as I wanted a Fresh Install; I chose to just re-download/install the apps I needed from the App Store. Much cleaner, more stable. I updated to Yosemite immediately so, it gave me more of a clean install.
The problem is, Time Machine now won't read any Time Machine backups from that disk. Migration assistant can pull data from it, but it's a bit wonky. It was easier to just manually copy over what I needed.
Now, I just want to "reset", and completely remove the old Time Machine data from the external hard drive, since it is completely useless to me now (I can't access it on this computer, and it's taking up space). I want to remove the Time Machine data, as if it were never there, but keep my other folders/files that are on the disk (so, a format is not feasible).
I will then set the disk up as a new, fresh Time Machine disk for the new MBPr.
What is the proper method for removing Time Machine data from an external disk (which doesn't seem to be associated with this machine anyway)? I know a simple rm -rf will cause problems.
Thanks for any help provided.

See the yellow box in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Can I restore settings, apps and data from an external hard drive to new Macbook Pro?

I recently lost my Macbook Pro to water damage. It was about 3 years old and tuned for comfort. Unfortunately, my most recent backup is at least 3 months old. I purchased a new MacBook Pro and I'm wondering what my options are for migrating my settings, apps and data from the old hard drive to the new MacBook Pro? I have a USB drive bay that I plan to attach to the new MBP to gain access to the old hard drive. Someone suggested Migration Assistant but my research hasn't turned up any information about migrating data from an external drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS! I guess my research wasn't THAT thorough. I booted with the external drive attached and setup immediately gave me the option to setup using Migration Assistant. It was a little slow via USB (2+ hours) but it was nothing compared to the time it would have taken to do it manually. My new 15" MBP looks exactly like my old 13" MBP. AWESOME!!!
Thanks again!
