Add PDF report type to TestStand

We have created a PDF report generation method.  We would like add "pdf" as a selection in the TestStand report options editor screen.  Has anyone else added a new report generation method to TestStand?  Will we have to modify the support model dll to make this appear as a selection in the report editor screen?

Hello CS,
You are right on track with your identification of modelsupport2.dll as the code module that is responsible for the Report Options dialog.  This dll is located in the following directory:
<TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\
I am not sure whether you will be able to just modify a parameter that is passed in the particular step that calls this code module or whether you will need to modify the dll itself.  I would be glad to look into the issue further.

  • Add-on step types for TestStand?

    I am almost certainly reinventing some wheels with Teststand by creating some basic test types.
    For example, I just wrote a custom step type for taking an analog measurement from a DAQmx instrument. Surely someone has done this before, and surely someone will want to do it again. There's nothing proprietary about code that simple, and I'd be happy to give it away if there was a place to post it.
    Two questions:
    1. Is there an open-source repository for sharing custom step types?
    2. Are there add-ons for purchase with canned step types beyond those which come with TestStand?
    -Arthur

    Hi Jigg, 
    I looked at Averna.com, and I don't see any add-ins available on their website. It looks like they offer services mostly. 
    It's a good point about TS projects being so varied and customized. However, if custom step types are well architected, as the built-in step types are, then they ought to be reusable by others. 
    You're right also that I can accomplish my DAQmx steps easily using an Action step with the LV adapter. My motivation for the custom step is to improve the interface for setting up such an action. In particular, when using an IO channel in TS, I have to manually type in a text string for the DeviceName value, whereas I'd like to choose from a list of global names (e.g. with the global channel list control in LV). I can get this affect by using an Enum in a wrapper VI, which maps to an array of channel constants; but this is fragile if the available channels are changed (e.g. added, removed or renamed in MAX).
    Additionally, a custom step type is better than a step template for my purposes, because I can propagate changes in the step type to instances of steps throughout the test. This is incredibly valuable to me during development and debugging. It saves me time when I want to update a step that I've used many times throughout a test sequence. Although TS isn't itself a programming language, I find that I expect it to share certain traits with programming languages to facilitate development, such as type abstractions and a strict enforcement of congruency between types and instances. But I digress....
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
    This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

  • Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

    On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
    Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
    <input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
    mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

    ''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
    You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
    <pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>

  • In which table can i add "pdf" as possible type of attachment to WF?

    Hi,
    Who knows the table name where i could add "pdf" as possible type of attachment to the workflow?
    In a workflow step i want an agent to create an attachement.
    When the user clicks the paperclip-icon he/she is presented a small screen, first requiring to select a document-type.
    This has a dropdown list which in my system is prefilled with <ARC, BIN, OBJ, URL, RAW, SCR> all in capitals and <bmp, doc, hlp, mdb, mpp, ppt, rtf, sap, txt, wri, xls> all in lowercase.
    My question is if I can add document type <pdf> to the list, and if so where to do that
    (I have found table TSOTD which holds at least the first set <ARC etc> but i can not find a table that holds the full set.)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Kind regards

  • Add Hyperlink in PDF report

    hi All,
    I would like to add hyperlinks to my pdf reports.
    I have a image column in my report which is hyperlink.
    Can i do that in pdf reports.
    Thanks

    hi
    thanks for you reply.
    But my problem is somewhat different.
    What i meant was i have a column in the database with the image hyperlink. ie the column is something like this
    http://myitem/myimage.
    i want to display this hyperlink in my pdf report so that when the customer clicks on that hyperlink it displays the image.
    This was my first priority.
    But i am also considering what you suggested ie i display an generic image which says link to image And when the users clicks on that it displays the image of the item.
    But the image is unique for that item and i have to specify the hyperlink programatically for each item on the report.
    How do i specify the hyperlink for each item programaticaly.
    thanks in advance

  • Add hyperlink in a page to direct to a .pdf report in oracle ADF jdeveloper

    Hi,
    I want to put a hyperlink, which will direct the user to the report. but I am getting the problem with, "where should I put the pdf file" any help please???
    here is my code: 
    <a target="_blank" href="/faces/DocumentationKNM.pdf">Guide Book</a>
    what should be the href?

    Well, this obviously depends on where the pdf report  is on your server and if it's accessible from the web application. For this it must be somewhere in the web root of your application. To access the report somewhere else on the server you can implement a servlet and stream the report from there.
    Summary: we need to describe your use case in more detail.

  • Using Dynamic Images in PDF Reports

    There are a number of threads in the forum where we talked about dynamically including images in PDF reports before. In order to illustrate one technique you can use for doing this, I put together a sample application that illustrates how to dynamically include images that are stored in BLOB columns. I installed the application on apex.oracle.com and made it available for download and local install. You can find the link and login information for this application as well as the download link here:
    http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html

    Based on a discussion we had today in another thread, I think it makes sense to add to this thread that the XSL-FO snipped used to get BI Publisher to render images is used when referencing images in a report column, e.g. you included them in your RTF layout using the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Table option. In this case, the column is referenced with “value-of select”:
    <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
    <xsl:value-of select="LOGO"/>
    </fo:instream-foreign-object>
    On the other hand, if you want to dynamically include a company logo, or other data that’s not necessarily repeating, e.g. there’s only one value, then you would use the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Field option . And you would reference your field as follows:
    <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
    <?LOGO?>
    </fo:instream-foreign-object>
    So in this case LOGO refers to either a single-value field, or a single-row report column value.

    "DialyzerID".
    However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
    column headers in table in pdf report from
    c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
    I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
    What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
    Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
    I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
    Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
    If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
    vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
    I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
    I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
    I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
    Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

I know how to set up the Document Type with a customized layout but I do not know how to update the XML data that feeds the layout.
    Thanks, Mike

  • Passing report value to PDF report query

    I apologize if this has already been asked and answered.
    Here's the scenario --
    I have a monthly sales page which displays the company sales for each day of the specified month. I also have a working report query and RTF layout which accepts the invoice date as a parameter which was created with the BI Publisher Word plug-in.
    What I would like to do is add a link or button to each row of the report that would call the PDF report, but passes the #invoice_dt# column in as the parameter. Invoice_DT isn't a session state variable, so is it possible to pass this to the report query?
    Thanks,
    Leigh

    Well, in my search for an answer to a different question, I did run across the answer to this in another thread.

  • PDF report with bar code

    Hello.
    I am creating a PDF report using the Oracle Reports 6i running on Oracle Concurrent Manager.
    The PDF report has a bar code.
    The report finish with success but it is visualized without the bar code.
    Into the output report the bar code name is small font (mw6code39mt) always.
    I can visualize the output report when I manually alter the bar code name from small font to large font (MW6 Code39MT) only. I do it in my Unix server using the text editor.
    The bar code name installed in my PC is large font (MW6 Code39MT)
    I am experiencing problem when visualizing or printing the output report.
    Has somebody experience about it or some idea about how can I to configure the Unix server or Oracle to solve the problem?
    Thank you.
    Edson

    Hi Julie,
    Sorry my english.
    I will try to explain in more details the problem.
    I have identified that the bar code name into the PDF output is lowercase (mw6code39mt).
    I only visualize or print the PDF output with the bar code when I manually alter that bar code name from lowercase to uppercase (MW6Code39MT).
    I do that in my Unix server using the vi editor.
    Please, see what I need to alter in the PDF output file on Unix server:
    <</Type /Font
    /Name /F1
    /Subtype /Type1
    /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
    /BaseFont /mw6code39mt ====> alter to MW6Code39MT
    /FirstChar 24
    /LastChar 255
    /Widths 9 0 R
    /FontDescriptor 10 0 R
    >>
    endobj
    Thank you.
