Can sequence files be compiled for protection...

Hello,
I was wondering if a mechanism to protect private intellectual code within the Sequence File is available, such as creating a binary file of the sequence file. We are delivering Sequence Files "owned" by my company but do not want the logic to be viewable to the customers. Write now, anyone can copy the sequence file and open it up in Notepad!
For example, matlab scripts can be compiled and then cannot be opened via notepad or matlab to view the logic.
Thanks for any direction and advice,
matt

As of TestStand 3.5, you can password
protect your sequence files. Goto Edit>>Sequence File
Properties>>Advanced>>Password Protection. Select the Not
Viewable option.
You don't need to change the file format, which is a 4.0 feature.
No matter what the file format is set to, a locked non-viewable
sequence file will be binary on disk.
Thank you for the replies about 4.0 and 3.5.
If I recall correctly, I thought while enabling the "Password Protection/New Viewable" option with 3.5 you could still open up the sequence in notepad and view the information.
I will double check,.
Thanks again for the responses.

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC

How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC. l lose all internet account I've three year. i lose my phone all app for a day even I safe all informating and apps in ICloud but I lose all my phone information . Like I have new phone and I do not have all my date . For new phone i can not use over 10 apps for my phone

You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those. Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

How can I include multiple limits in the sequence file documentation for custom step type?

Hi,
I have a custom Step Type that contains Measurements property under Results. Its type is Array of NI_LimitMeasurement.
I would like to see the values in the sequence file documentation like NI_MultipleNumericLimitTest type.
Is there any trick to do that?
Thanks,
Andras

Hi Andras,
I have made a slight change to the sequencefile 'docgen_txt.seq'.
In the Sequence 'Step Doc' is a section which handles MultipleNumericLimit step type. There is a precondition check on the step 'Add Multiple Numeric Limits' if the step is of type 'NI_MultipleNumericLimit'. As your step type is based on the MultipleNumeric Limit type, I have just removed this precondition and just relied on the existence of Parameters.Step.Result.Measurement. Equally you could add a new section in this sequence to handle your Custom Step Type which is only called when the precodition match your type name.
Now when you run the DocGen tool it handles your custom step type.
Find attached my modified sequencefile 'docgen_txt.seq'.
Just copy the contents of '..\National Instruments\TestStand 3.5\Components\NI\Tools\DocGen' to the User folder. Then place the attached file in the User\Tools\DocGen overwritting the version that is in that folder.
Then launch TestStand and try it out on your sequence file.
If you are using the html version, then you will have to make the same change into Step Doc sequence of the docgen_html sequence file.
Hope this helps
Regards
Ray Farmer

Can XML files be used for data?

We have an XML file that contains all of the data we want to use for a model. Is there any way that this can be used instead of a database query?

If you find a JDBC driver for XML, then yes.
Check out the Visual Composer WIKI under JDBC:

Can I create a global custom step type, available for all sequence files through a single copy?

I would like to create a custom step type and make it available to any (new or existing) sequence file, without having to copy/paste it every time, to avoid maintenance problems...

Hi Andre,
You need to create the custom step type in the station view rather in the sequence file view.
There's a step type button near the Users Button.
Click on this button then proceed in creating the custom step type as you would have done in the sequence file.
If you are using TS 1.0.x then the new step type will be added to the types palette.ini.
If you are using TS 2.0 then will be able generate a new group ini file to hold your custom step types.

How can I restore FileGlobals in a Client Sequence File that is reloaded?

Hi,
I'm using TS2.0.1f1 and dynamic client files (search "DynamicClientModel" to see an example) in order to load different test sequences depending on what product should be tested.
We do something like this,
newseq = IEngine.GetSequenceFile(...)
Execution.ClientFile = newseq
Do testing
IEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx(newseq)
Goto
The first time a client sequence file is loaded it will copy the default FileGlobals from RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults (TS does this automatically).
The problem though is that after calling ReleaseSequenceFileEx() the actual sequence isn�t really disposed. Since when we later start over with another prod
uct that uses the same client sequence file the GetSequenceFile() call returns the same copy that was used before and doesn�t copy the FileGlobals from RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults, there by the second time the same sequence file is used, the FileGlobals don�t have there default values.
So, to get back to the subject, how can I make sure that the second time around the FileGlobals have there default values?
(Keep in mind that all this is done within the same execution of the processmodel.)
I�ve included a short demonstration of this in the attached zip file.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Hans

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the answer, I had been thinking about option nr 1 in particular but that would require more changes than I'm prepared to do right now.
I tried option nr 2, but instead of adding that line to the client sequence file I made the copy operation in the process model like this.
Execution.ClientFile = Locals.ClientSeq
Locals.ClientFileGlobalsRef = Execution.GetFileGlobals(Locals.ClientSeq)
Locals.SerializedCopy = ""
[RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults] PropertyObject.Serialize(Locals.SerializedCopy, "Test", 0)
[Locals.ClientFileGlobalsRef] PropertyObject.Unserialize(Locals.SerializedCopy, "Test", 0)
This seems to do the trick, although option nr 2 does seem a bit like doing things the way they weren't
supposed to be done.
Regarding option nr 1, are there any �Best Practice� documents, guides or examples on how one should best manage Engine and Execution lifetimes? Or to put it differently when to spawn new Executions and or Engines during the span of working with several units of the same product type and/or different product types?
Cheers,

How I can include several sequences in one sequence file?

I am new for teststand and forgive me if my question seems silly.
How I can include several sequences in one sequence file? I would like to use " call sequence" in current file.
thanks a lot for your kind help

Hey gunking,
If you'd like to find out more information about our training courses, I'd be happy to speak with you further about what the course contains and locations offered, but it's probably best if we take this off of the forums for further conversation via phone or email.
Create a new support request at www.ni.com/contact and set the product as TestStand. You will be directed to myself or another engineer on my team, at which point you can ask for me or just speak with one of my teammates.
Off the top of my head, I do know that there are a few courses coming up in Austin in the next couple of weeks (I'm teaching one myself), if you're interested in those. Otherwise, courses are always being added for the future.

Can I open the (.squ) sequence files using NI test stand 4.0 version?

I have the sequence files created using ATETool Kit test Executive. But I have NI 4.0 test stand. I want to open the sequence files using NI 4.0 test stand. Can i do that?

Hi,
I am not familiar with ATETool kit Test Executive, but I doubt NI TestStand will open this. As you have both, have you tried it?
TestStand does have a conversion tool for converting NI TestExecutive sequence files into TestStand sequence files.
Maybe you could write a conversion tool to make the conversion for you if you have many ATETool kit Test Executive files.

Can a file to be shared via iCloud be password protected?

Can a file to be shared via iCloud be password-protected? I used to do this with files shared between Windows & my Blackberry using Documents To Go.

Nobody can predict what OSX next can or can't : It is a Beta and thus everything can change .
Concerning Lion and iOS5 :
the notes faciltiy in iOS5 devices is synced via iCloud, yes : your notes will be received in your icloud email account on the Mac. Just make sure you enable mail and notes in icloud panel on both ios and lion.
"Sticky Notes" : No Syncing available ( and I doubt Apple cares much for that : the app is a relict from OS classic ) .

Polling for database updates fails to update sequence file/table

I have a small system to poll for changes to a database table of student details. It consists of:
Database adapter, which polls the database for changes, retreives a changed row, and passes the generated XML to -
"receive" router service, which simply passes the retrieved database XML data to -
"execute" router service, which transforms the XML and passes the new message to -
File Adapter, which writes the transformed XML to a file.
The problem is that the database polling is not updating the sequence recorder - I have tried using a sequence file which stores the personnumber, a sequence table which stores the personnumber and a sequence table which stores the last-updated timestamp. In all cases the database adapter successfully reads the sequence file/table and retreives the correct row, based on the sequence value ( I have tested this by manually changing the sequence value), the data is transformed and a correct xml file is created, but the system then fails to update the sequence file/table so that when the next polling time comes around the very same database row is extracted again and again and again.
In the ESB control panel I have one error: "Response payload for operation "receive" is invalid!"
The Trace is:

I have only been working with ESB for 3 days, but half of that time has now been spent stuck on this issue. Anyone got any ideas??

You need to be careful. Submit and committing to the database are two different things.
Submit on a page (and autoSubmit the property) are only posting the changes you typed into the field, back down to the application server. NOTHING is happening with the database at this point. So the applications's internal "cache" of records (using something like ADF BC) is holding the changes but the database doesn't know anything. So if you quit now, no changes will go to the database.
These changes onlyget submitted down to the app server when you do some sort of action like press a button. Simply navigating fields will be doing nothing back to the app server. If you add autoSubmit then you will automatically submit the changes on that field down to the app server when you leave the field (but again, this is not touching the database)
You have to explicitly add a COMMIT operation to save those changes to the database.
Maybe if you try in a simple EMP example and send us your findings we can help direct you further.

Best practices for protecting files from ransomware?

If you don't know what CryptoWall and such ransomware is, you are lucky. For now.
This os probably more of a Desktop security issue but I'd like some ideas for file server protection.
A corporate office got lucky today with just the files on one PC infected and network file shares the user had access to lost - but they were backed up, hence the "lucky".
But it was scary enough they want to know what Microsoft wants us to do to prevent this in the future. The user was not admin on the local machine and so we are not sure how it was installed (I've read people get it different ways).
We have SCCM EndPoint protection and obviously it didn't help. It did actually stop a password stealing utility from installing around the same time but didn't stop us from having thousands of files rendered useless for many hours today.
It was suggested not using mapped network drives but I think one share was hit without a mapping (still waiting for confirmation). But I think anywhere it finds it, ie., under Favorites, could be attacked.
Suggestions please.
Thank you!

You can try this.

What is the best method for saving the client sequence file revision in the database \ report?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to store the sequence file Revision in the database. That is, if I have the Revision (SequenceFile.AsPropertyObjectFile.Version), where (e.g. what table / field) should I put it if I'm using the SQL Server schema that ships with TestStand? How do I get it there?

Go to Solution.

Ok LabBEAN,
Here is my tutorial. It is actually easier than I thought:
Step 1: Configure>>Database Options and uncheck the Disable Database Logging.
Step 2: Click the Data Link tab
Step 3: Make sure the Connection String Expression is pointing to the right location. Should be a public directory with a .mdb file if you are using TestStand defaults. Click the View Data button to verify. It should open the Database Viewer so you can look at the tables. Leave the Database Viewer open.
Step 4: Click the Schemas tab
Step 5: With the Generic Recordset (NI) selected click the Duplicate button.
Step 6: You should now see a copy of that schema. In the Name box name it MyRecordset and make sure it is checked
Step 7: Click the Statements tab and highlight STEP_SEQCALL. NOTE: you must always do this before clicking on the Columns/Parameters tab
Step 8: Click the Columns/Parameters tab
Step 9: Highlight the SEQUENCE_FILE_PATH item and click the Copy Button
Step 10: Highlight the new entry and change the Name to SEQUENCE_FILE_VERSION
Step 11: MOST CRITICAL STEP: Change the Expression to RunState.Engine.GetSequenceFileEx(Logging.StepResult.TS.SequenceCall.SequenceFile, 107, ConflictHandler_Error).AsPropertyObjectFile.Version It is better to do it this way because you never now where a sequence file call will be made and not all sequence calls are made to the model client sequence.
Step 12: Hopefully you left the Database Viewer open from Step 3. Go to it.
Step 13: Right click the STEP_SEQCALL and select Add Column.. Name the new column: SEQUENCE_FILE_VERSION. Basically you need a column that matches the one you created back in the Columns/Parameters tab. Set it up with the same type and size. NOTE: there is an alternate way to do this using the Execute SQL View in the Database Options but you need to create it. You can create it from the Schemas tab back in TS by clicking the Build .sql File.. button.
Step 14: Back in TestStand click OK to save and close the Database Options.
Now run your sequence and you will see the new data in your database.
