Can a global variable be used in a text object ?

Can a global variable ( defined in Form Properties ) be used as part of a text object ?
I am creating a PDF document (using LiveCycle ES ) that can be used by multiple departments.
In LiveCycle Designer, I created an XDP with multiple pages.
The form includes a variable varDepartment that I set to the respective department
I then cut individualized PDFs for each department ( not all pages apply to all departments ) & change the department variable.
I would like to have the Title of each page to include the department e.g. Survey Finance department (Page: Main)
There are 10+ pages, each different.
Is this possible ?
Thanks for your help
Aubrey

Thanksjnicholas330,
I am trying to avoid writing any code. Just place it the text - Something like "Survery {varDepartment} department".
Also, I cannot find a floating field object - I am using Adobe Pro 9 with the included LiveCycle Designer 8.2 ES

What is the use of various text objects in text determination

Dear All,
What is the use of various text objects in text determination.e.g the sale document header object(In this what we define and where that text is copied further) and
other text objects i.e customer/accounting,billing header etc.
Regards,
Ashima

Hi,
To exchange information between the User and the System as well as between the objects (Ex: Customer to Sales document, Sales document to Delivery Document) SAP uses Text Determination to determine or to propose Text. Text can be determined for objects like customer master, all documents, condition records, customer material info records, etc...
hope it helps..

Can LabVIEW global variables be shared between UUT sequence steps in the parallel sequence model?

Sorry for this simple question, I'm having a hard time finding this answer.
If I launch a sequence to run on two UUTs in the parallel sequence module, can I get both UUTs to run LabVIEW vis that use global variables such that :
1) UUT 0 executes 20 LabVIEW Vi steps asynchronously, 5 of which access data from LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
2) UUT 0 executes the same 20 LabVIEW based steps asynchronously 5 of which access data from then same LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
I am a little worried that using file globals may have some delays or more of a race condition than using native LabVIEW global variables like in a single labview application perform.
QUESTION 2: Are file globals actually written to the hard drive and shared between parallel sequences through file transfer? OR are they in memory?
Brad Whaley

Hi bdwhaley,
Are your parallel sequences only reading from the global variable? Or are they writing to the variable as well? If it is just reading, then you should be okay. File globals are read from memory. Every time they are read, a copy of the data is made in memory.

Pass the value of the current case in a case structure to a global variable for use in VIs.

I have built a large queued state machine (>100 cases). In each state, I run a VI that I have created. These VIs are usually not very different from one another. In many cases, I could simply use the same VI over and over again. There is only one problem with that. None of these VIs know which case to send the program to next. I have to change the value of the "NEXT_CASE" constants in the VI and save it under a new name to be inserted into each new case. Now my program consists of hundreds of VIs whose only difference is the value of their "NEXT_CASE" constants. This causes all kind of headaches when I have to insert new cases into the state machine, and it is just too much for me to deal with.
I need to be able to use a global variable to keep track of the current case within my VIs. I could change it from a string to a number and add or subtract from it to determine which case the program should go to next. Since I'm usually only skipping from one case to the next (or the previous) I could use the exact same VI in most cases. Can anyone tell me how to create a global variable that contains the value of the case in my case structure that I could use within my VIs to keep track of the current case? Let me know if you have any questions.

Instead of defining the next state inside the subvi, why not do it in the main vi inside each state case? An output from the subvi could be used with a case structure to determine the next state. Sort of like, if the subvi returns 0 then next state is State3, else if the subvi returns 1 then next state is State4.

How to Set multiple Global Variables without using Controls or Indicators

I have to set many Global Variables (i.e. declare and initialize them) in a subVI in order to pass them to various other subVI's. The only way I know how to do it in LabView is to create a Globals.vi on which you create a control or indicator for EACH Global Variable. That's fine if you have only a few variables. But I have close to a hundred Global Variables (which come from a configuration file for a large program) and clearly it is impractical and cumbersome to create a control for each global variable. In Agilent Vee, there is a simple function called "Set Variable" that sets the data value of a global variable. Then in other module, you simply use the "Get Variable" function to get back the v
ariable and its value.
In LabView you can use the "Invoke Node / Set Control Value" and "Get Control Value" properties to achieve the same thing. But as mentioned above, you need to create a control for each global variable and that is a big pain in my case, with many global variables. Furthermore, the global variables are read from a Configuration Text File to this VI. Is there a way to do it without using the control? Thank you in advance for any help.

Actually you could create the same sort of facility in LV. All you have to do is create a LV2-style global that behaves as follows:
To write a value to it, you supply a value name and the value. These pieces of data are save internally in seperate arrays.
To read a value, you supply a value name. The VI looks up this name in the value name array to return an index into the value array. Output the value you find.
Frankly though, it sounds like what you really need is not hundreds of globals, but a good way to manage configuration data.

The global variable panel has a menu item under OPERATE called REINITIALIZE ALL TO DEFAULT. How can all global variables be reinitialized at to their default values at program startup?

Each time I restart my application, I would like all global variables to be reset to their default values without having to reset each one individually. Can I do this? If so, how?

Sure you can do it. Enclosed is a VI which checks all VIs in memory and reinitializes any that are of type Global VI.

...and so on and so forth....
In short, I want the code within:

...to be able to access the variables I have created in:
----- form1.#subform[0]::initialize: - (FormCalc, client) ------------------------------------------
(I have assumed that this is where I would store Global variables)
At this stage, the global variables cannot be accessed with the configuration above. The only was I can get this to work is to cut and paste the global vairables into each form1.#subform[0] item, which of course defeats the purpose of global variables! I plan to have many more items so would not want to duplicate the global variables for all of them!
Can somebody show me how to do this?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi MorisTM,
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, I saw that option (I should have mentioned I already knew about it), but was wondering if there is a way I can do this via code.
There are two reason I want to be able to do it via code (only one of which may be valid):
1) I can automatically generate my pricing code form another inhouse app.
2) I am hoping that later on once I get this working I will be able take it a step further and get the data directly from a MySQL database!
Cheers though!
Any other suggestions?

Xslt graph in a rtf template. Can an external variable be used inside the graph definition?

I'm working with BI Publisher 10g, building an rtf template that would display a table and a graph by iterating on one of the xml tags from the input file.
I got the table working using am xslt variable set when the xml tag associated value changes (DATAGROUPID).
<?for-each:(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA)?> <?sort:DATAGROUPID;'ascending';data-type='number'?>
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE',DATAGROUPID)?>

<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID',DIMID)?>
<?round(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID')]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0]/PFAV)?>
<?end for-each?>

So, on the table this line gets the correct variable from the input file:
<?round(/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'DIMID')]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0]/PFAV)?>
How can I replicate that logic inside the table definition?
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PFAV !=0]/PFAV"/>
Input data looks like this:
<DATA>

I can include a complete sample on request, I thought this would be enough to illustrate the issue.
I'll appreciate any help you can provide.

I kept researching, I found some possible solution in this blog:
https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/category/Oracle/Templates/RTF
so, I created a local SITE variable inside every cell to get the external SITE info:

<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:variable name="SITE" select="{xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')}"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = $SITE]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PUNFAV != 0]/PFAV"/>
</Cell>
but I get this error at run time:

How can I query the rendered width of a text object

Does anyone know of a way to query the rendered width of a bound field object. We are using a proportional font (Times New Roman) and need to figure out, how wide the output is going to be. Thank you!

Hi Niall, thanks again. I am currently working on a project where we convert Crystal Reports
documents to LiveCycle Production Print with the goal of creating the exact same output in
LiveCycle as it was produced in Crystal Reports.
We define a field in LiveCycle with the exact same properties for width, height, font, font size etc. as
it is defined in Crystal Reports.
When we populate the field with data that exceeds the defined width of the field, the data gets cut
off at a different position than in Crystal Reports, sometimes even in the middle of a character.
If I could query the length of the rendered output, I could shorten the input data until the rendered
output would fit in the field.

How can I pass a value field to a global variable?

I have a doubt,
I wnat to know if is possible to pass a value field to a global variable inside of DataFlow?
That a try to do is at the time to execute a JOB on line (real time), depending of the value field that i receive, only certain DATAFLOWS will be executed depending of the value field.
I hope you can help me.
Kind regards!!!

It can be done via various ways, your approach is kind of odd, though.
You are saying you have one kind if Input message, depending on the flag you want to do different transformations. The way you envision that is by loading that flag into a global variable and use different dataflows then.
Can you use different dataflows within one Realtime Job? Yes, usually the first loads an in-memory datastore.
Can you write into a global variable? Yes and No. Not directly, but you can write the value into e.g. a database and using the sql() function read it from there. But why would you. You could write it into the in-memory datastore. And then you run your n dataflows, each has a filter. So only one of these dataflows will actually process the data.
Are there other approaches? I would have a Case transform at the beginning and route the data into different queries depending on the data. So all in one dataflow. Your approach is fine for a batch dataflow where a dataflow is started, does something and then ends. But that's not how it works in Realtime!

Using built-in with global variables

I am trying to setup built-in source code control for LabVIEW. It seems to be OK except in one case:
Is it possible to use built-in with global variables ?
VIs that use a global variable are supposed to be updated automatically when global variable is modified but what happen when VIs are checked-in ? LabVIEW cannot updated them. Is it necessary to check out all VIs before modifying global variable ? This is not convenient if global variable is used in more than 100 VIs !
Is there another solution ? Can Perforce resolve this problem ?
Thanks for your help !
David

You can still use and update global variables while they are checked in to SSC. The default values will still be saved in SSC but they can still be modified and read by other vi's.
