Advice on constructing a test engine and formatting a spreadsheet test file to perform command line interface testing on a product through telnet or serial interface

Advice on constructing a test engine and formatting a spreadsheet test file to perform command line interface testing on a range of products through telnet or serial interface and output pass/fail results.

If I understand correctly, you want to do the following:
1. Create one or more tab-delimited files that specify a series of query strings (that LabVIEW will send to your products) and expected reply strings (that LabVIEW will look for in response to each query)
2. Run your LabVIEW program (the test engine) and have it execute one or more test scripts from file using either TCP/IP or serial communication to your units under test
3. Track how many of the queries are met with the expected response, and output an indication of whether each step passed or failed
If this is close to correct, then I've attached a sample test file and LabVIEW VI as an example; I chose the TCP/telnet method because it allowed me to use the ni.com Web site to simulate my tes
t hardware. If you happen to own the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit, there's a VI called "Telnet Play Script" in the Telnet palette that does something fairly similar using TCP. The same general model would also work for Serial communications.
Hope it helps,

Hello j. smith,
TestStand gives you the ability to create "sequence files" which are lists of tests to be run sequentially or in parallel. These tests can be written in any language: LabVIEW VIs, C/C++ DLLs, EXEs, ActiveX objects, .NET Assemblies, etc.
You can run your TestStand sequence files from a command-line prompt using the following syntax:
\bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -run
This will launch the TestStand Sequence Editor (and optionally prompt you for TestStand login information if you have this configured), run your sequence file, then exit.
If you're using the TestStand process model, it can output your results to a report file or database if you configure this. To use a TestStand process mo
del to execute your sequence file, use the following syntax:
\bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -runEntryPoint
Here's an example:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.0\bin\SeqEdit.exe" /quit -runEntryPoint "Single Pass" "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.0\Examples\Demo\C\computer.seq"
Note that multiple sequences and sequence files can be specified on the command line.
TestStand supports remote sequence execution using DCOM (Distributed COM), which is an east way to remotely execute tests. But as for running tests or commands through a telnet or serial interface, you would have need to check Windows documentation on how to execute command-line remotely like this.

File format for username/password file for -vcusersfile command line option

In what format do I specify username and password in a file that I can use for
the -vcusersfile command line option?

The text file should contain name/password pairs separated by an equal sign. Example:
myname1=password1
myname2=password2
Hope that helps,

-info XML format for Compressor's command line interface?

Hi Everyone,
I've got a brand new copy of Final Cut Studio HD that I'm using for an encoding project. I'm trying to figure out how to use Compressor's command line interface. I want to give it a MPEG-2 file and a .scc (closed caption) file. I can see how to specify the source file, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to specify the SCC file. As best as I can understand, I'm going to need to use the -info <XML> option, but I haven't found any documentation for this. Can someone point me to the appropriate documentation?
Thanks!
- Kevin

I get an error when I do exactly what you suggested. My problem is not if the XSU is able to locate the xml file because I know it is able to parse it since it picks up an error in it such as if I make the "ROW" element "row" - ie small caps instead of big which is not recognised by XSU. I use the url of the xml file as specified when I open the xml file in internet explorer. The XSU does confirm it inserts the document successfully with my original command but the document simply doesn't get inserted into the table. Specifically, if anyone is to insert the xml file I have shown in Oracle, how would it be approached successfully?
Your help is very much appreciated.

Grant and revoke privilages from command line interface

hi all,
I have a lot of users that I need to give them a set of privileges to folders and containers of the repository, i thought that using the command line interface should help in loading a script.
i checked the manual for the syntax for such a command (i.e. to grant privileges) but i couldn't, searched the net and i didn't find anything.
So can we grant privileges from the command line interface and how ?
by the way is there anyway to create users from command line interface as well ?\
thanks in advance and have a good one

The granting of access rights cannot be done with a CLI script in Designer. Instead you have to use the Designer API Pl/Sql packages.
For detailed information, refer to the "API and Model Reference Guide", which is
installed with the Designer Repository Documentation, or can be found on OTN > Doco > Designer site.
Scroll through that document to the Reference section. You will need to read up on two topics at least: Workarea and Container Context, Privileges and Access Rights.
To grant rights, the easiest way is to grant them "just like some existing ones".
To do this, you'll need a Pl/Sql procedure with 5 input parameters:
1) the workarea context
2) the container to look at
3) the user to look like
4) the container to grant access to
5) the user to grant access for
The Pl/Sql procedure then needs to make a series of Repository API package calls to set context and get container IRIDs:
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Workarea (workareaname) - to set the context workarea
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Working_Folder (sourcefoldername) - to specify the source container
JR_CONTEXT.Working_Folder (sourcefolderid) - to get the ID of the source container
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Working_Folder (targetfoldername) - to specify the target container
JR_CONTEXT.Working_Folder (targetfolderid) - to get the ID of the target container
OR you can just do a couple queries after you set the WA CONTEXT such as ...
Select IRID from CI_Application_Systems where NAME = <sourcefoldername>
Select IRID from CI_Application_Systems where NAME = <targetfoldername>
Then you get the list of rights desired, and grant them back to the target user.
JR_ACC_RIGHTS.Get_Acc_Rights (sourcefolderid, sourceusername) > AccessList
[gets list of existing rights for some user on a container]
JR_ACC_RIGHTS.Grant_Priv_List (targetfolderid, targetusername, AccessList, Cascade? = TRUE)
[to set the list of rights for a user against the target container and its subcontainers]
There are other ACC_RIGHTS packages, like Grant_Priv, Revoke_Prive, Revoke_Priv_List, etc that you can use as well to build up a set of access management scripts.
Hope this helps

Get the absolute path and filename of the file from the command line

Hi,
when we run the class we give the command
java <filename>
How can I capture the filename given above and get its absolute path inside the
public static void main(String [] args){}
args[0] gives me the command line argument after the filename. How do I capture the filename itself from the command line argument and also get that files absolute path
Thanks

I don't know of any way to capture the java command input, but there are ways to find out where the application is being run from. (the "absolute path")

Need a sample file for IDQ parameter file and a Shell script to execute it from command line

Hello,The parameter file itself is generated from cmd line using infacmd command and it automatically creates the parameters inside it based on the parameters created inside the mapping and the workflow. So, even if one provides you a paramtere file for IDQ, it might fail as your workflow definition and its paramters would be different. Thanks,K

Hi all My project migrated from Power Center to IDQ developer and I had to move all my mappings to IDQ developer. I was able to migrate everything except for the parameter files. It seems that the layout and syntax for parameter file is different from Power Center. Is there anyone who can help me out or send me a sample of a parameter file for IDQ? As well as a sample shell script to run the mapping or application from the Command line.This is an urgent need and It will be greatly appreciated. ThanksNaveen Medisetti

J2SE adapter engine and SSL testing

Hi there,
We are currently doing a B2B scenario whereby SAP XI sends a message to the J2SE adapter engine in the DMZ and then that sends the message via HTTPS / SSL to the receiving service....
In order to test that the HTTPS / certificate etc worked I wrote a small Java application and dialled out of the network. I inserted the DER file into my CACERTS file on my local machine using the keytool as a "trusted certificate". The Java application worked 100% and did the SSL handshake fine and POSTED the data fine as well......
Now I am no expert in the J2SE adapter engine but decided to try testing the same SSL connection using the J2SE adapter engine from my LOCAL machine with me dialled out onto the Internet.
I logged into the J2SE adapter engine and imported the same DER file into the engine (actually inserted into the "truststore.jks" file). I them went into the "Test Environment" of the J2SE adapter and have been trying to test.....
I have a few questions:
1. Do I have to use a P12 or PFX file for this sort of communication? Reason I ask is that with the Java application all I needed was the DER file?
2. In the full blown scenario do I have to have SSL configured between XI and the J2SE adapter engine as well? Or can that stay as HTTP?
My basic config for the test is roughly:
WS.targetURL=https://someserver:4433/soap/someInbox
WS.SOAPAction=CustomSoapAction
SSLauthentication=true
Do I really need the following two?
SSLcertificate=somecert.p12
SSLcertificatePassword=somepassword
From my logic all I should need if the DER file loaded into the J2SE adapter which I have done......
Has anyone done successfull SSL / HTTPS testing from the J2SE adapter engine using the "Test Environment"?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Lynton

Hi
Not a answer to your question but why use the J2SE adapter engine in the DMZ and why not the J2EE Decentral Adapter Engine?

Command line to extract file in windows XP and Windows 7

I want to copy files from a zipped folder of any source to C:\XYZ folder.
which command should I use?
example:
source folder : Ashok.zip
This zip folder contains a.txt and ABC folder. Now i have to copy this a.txt and whole ABC folder to C: XYZ using command line. Please Suggest !

Hi A Lamichhane,
As I know, there is no legacy command could get that goal in Windows xp and 7 since it might need java command or vbscript, however if you really need unzip from the command prompt using ONLY Windows' built-in capabilities, we could use powershell script.
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace(“ fiel path you need unzip”)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
$shell.Namespace(“path you need copy to”).copyhere($item)
I tested that and it is easy to use.
Regards
D. Wu

Difference between command line and Runtime.exec()

Hi all.
I'm coding some lines to call sqlldr program.
System info:
OS: Win2k server
Java platform: JSK 1.4
DBMS: Oracle 9i
I've tested sqlldr in command line and it is OK. But when i call Runtime.exec("sqlldr user/pass@servicename control=mycontrol.ctl")
the ErrorStream show that: Message 2100 not found,No message file for product=RDBMS ,facility=UL...
So i had to put a String array which contained "ORACLE_HOME" as the second parameter of exec method. But there's another error appear:
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I checked tnsnames.ora and it's OK. I do the command line again and it's still OK. Why did Runtime.exec("...") method get Error.
Does Someone solve it for me.
Thanks so much.

I'm having the similar/same issue.
I'm trying to run SQLLdr from JAVA.
From a command line, it works fine.. From within JAVA, I get..
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed.
Did you find a solution to your problem?

Xsql command line and stored PL/SQL procedures

I have an xsql servlet that calls a stored procedure in an Oracle 8.1.7 DB to generate XML. The servlet then uses a custom action handler to write the XML output to a file on the webserver.
This system works just fine through a web page interface. I am interesting in using the xsql command line interface to run the servlet as a nightly cron to keep the xml file up to date.
It seems that the xsql command line interface cannot execute stored procedures.
The xsql file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="studev" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-owa subj="AR" bind-params="subj">
studev.CTLGDSET.P_ADD_DEPT_DRIVER(?);
</xsql:include-owa>
<xsql:write-to-file file="{@subj}.xml" dir="{@dir}" base-tag="/page/SUBJECT/"/>
</page>and the output written to the file is
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<page xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:include-owa subj="AR" bind-params="subj">
studev.CTLGDSET.P_ADD_DEPT_DRIVER(?);
</xsql:include-owa>
<xsql:write-to-file file="{@subj}.xml" dir="{@dir}" base-tag="/page/SUBJECT/"/>
</page>Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
-Eric Dalquist

Ok. I looked into the problem. The issue is that the Action Handler for <xsql:include-owa> conditionally passes on information about cookies and such to the OWA package context if you happen to be using XSQL through the Servlet interface.
If you are not using XSQL through the servlet interface, things still work, but the class that implements the include-owa action handler still has a load-time dependency on the "servlet.jar" (even if you don't end up using it).
So, the workaround is to add a copy of the Servlet SDK jar file "servlet.jar" to your CLASSPATH of the XSQL Command Line utility, and it works fine.
XSQL 9.0.2 Beta (due out this week I believe on OTN) has been tested with FOP 0.18.1, but XSQL 1.0.4.3 Production and XSQL 9.0.1 production should both work with 0.18.1 as well.

How to create and use library JAR files with command-line tools?

Development Tools -> General Questions:
I am trying to figure out how to put utility classes into JAR files and then compile and run applications against those JAR files using the command-line javac, jar, and java tools. I am using jdk1.7.0_17 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7.
I have posted a simple example with one utility class, one console application class, and a Makefile:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130520-2134.tar.gz
Here is a console session:
2013-05-20 21:39:01 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/util/Hello.java
package com.example.util;
public class Hello {
    public static void hello(String arg) {
     System.out.println("hello, " + arg);
2013-05-20 21:39:12 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/hello/HelloConsole.java
package com.example.hello;
import static com.example.util.Hello.hello;
public class HelloConsole {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
     hello("world!");
2013-05-20 21:39:21 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ make
rm -f hello
find . -name '*.class' -delete
javac src/com/example/util/Hello.java
javac -cp src src/com/example/hello/HelloConsole.java
echo "java -cp src com.example.hello.HelloConsole" > hello
chmod +x hello
2013-05-20 21:39:28 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ ./hello
hello, world!I believe I am looking for:
1. Command-line invocation of "jar" to put the utility class bytecode file (Hello.class) into a JAR?
2. Command-line invocation of "javac" to compile the application (HelloConsole.java) against the JAR file?
3. Command-line invocation of "java" to run the application (HelloConsole.class) against the JAR file?
I already know how t compile the utility class file.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David

I finally figured it out:
1. All name spaces must match -- identifiers, packages, file system, JAR contents, etc..
2. Tools must be invoked from specific working directories with specific option arguments, all according to the project name space.
My key discovery was that if the code says
import com.example.util.Hello;then the JAR must contain
com/example/util/Hello.classand I must invoke the compiler and interpreter with an -classpath argument that is the full path to the JAR file
-classpath ext/com/example/util.jarThe code is here:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130525-1301.tar.gz
Here is a console session that demonstrates building and running the code two ways:
1. Compiling the utility class into bytecode, compiling the application class against the utility bytecode, and running the application bytecode against the utility bytecode.
2. Putting the (previously compiled) utility bytecode into a JAR and running the application bytecode against the JAR. (Note that recompiling the application against the JAR was unnecessary.)
(If you don't know Make, understand that the working directory is reset to the initial working directory prior to each and every command issued by Make):

How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
1) Opens the desired project
2) Sets the desired output chm files name
3) Generates the chm file
4) And finally quits RoboHelp
Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything. And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
// Get parameters
var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
    // Set the output location and file name
    ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
    if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
    if ( ssl.generate() ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
} else {
    // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
doc.saveAll(true);
RhLogFile.close();
RoboHelp.closeProject();
RoboHelp.quit();
