Certification Nugget Series Tracking Thread (No Discussion)

Many of you have noticed a few "Certification Nugget: Threads reciently.
What are they?
The Certification Nugget Series is a community led initiative to enhance the NI Certification program by providing Certification specific advice from professionals who have earned the certifications and are currently using them to earn a living. Our aim is to encourage potential certification candidates to make the certification attempt and provide personal accounts of methods employed that enabled current certified professionals to achieve NI Certifications.
Why are we doing this?
Each member of the "Certification Nuggeteers" community group has their own reasons for contributing. However, some common ideas appear to show up. A "Teaching Spirit" and a desire to see larger numbers of sucessful candidates are two common themes.
Can I write a nugget?
Of COURSE you can! The NI Forums are free and open and no Certification Nuggeteer would choose to change that. We do have some resources available that would help maximize the impact of your nugget so hey, give us a shout out and we can work together.
How do I join the Nuggeteers?

Community Nugget Series: Application Development- Installment 1

Installment 1: Code by intention and basic code components
In
this Nugget series we will discuss application development, the
different ways we use to access data and information, develop a GUI that
has Controls, Indicators and other front panel objects accessable from
sub.vi's in multiple ways and explore a software developers approach to
LabVIEW without OO but exposing OO concepts. I'll be starting with
basics and moving to a real-world app designed specifically for Test
Automation. Many of the concepts have wide ranging application but as
this is my first "Nugget" and "Series" I'll chose to speak from my
strengths. I hope you all forgive me.
So lets show how to start: I do it thusly
NOTE:
The vi hasn't even been saved yet! The FP and BD are blank (OK - Use a
template if you want to save time but for this demo I'm starting from
scratch)
This is where software starts, with the end
user(s) firmly in mind! <Sea Story> I grew up as an Electronics
Technician. One day a test instrument rep demo'd a new o'scope with
advanced math functions. We were impressed with the capabitities -
untill it took 5+ minutes to perform the operations. Automate that!
[prompt user "please wait while device X does some math. Ensure
sliptick oil resivour remains above "critical.""]   We called it "Same
Day Display." The instrument MFG did not think about the end uses for
the product when archetecting the system. <
Let's not do that here.
Overall Achietecture: 4 main interlocking Queued P-C loop vi's
defined as: (If I may borrow from a business case to aid visualization)
Corporate Communications ( CC or GUI):
Executive:
Operations:
Accounting:
Each of these loops Consumes exactly 1 Queued loop:
1:
CC is primarrilly an Event Loop. After initialization it responds to FP
events. These events can be caused by direct user action or by
indirect actions when something in the application generates an event
the GUI needs to respond to. It produces the "Executive" Queue and may
generate events. It keeps the user informed and happy.   It is the
primary abstraction layer between the developer and the user. If the
user can do it CC needs to respond - If the developer expects the user
to do something it Must be intuitive or explained by Tip Stips and / or
on screen instructions.
2: Executive is a QSM
(Queued State Machine) it consumes the "Executive" Queue, generates the
"Operations queue, and may generate events for CC. This is the main
abstraction layer between the developer and the application
enviornment. In this demo we will perform "Tests" defined as a sequence
of things do much like the tasks your manager asks you to take to
acomplish an objective. Its the manager scheduling how when and what to
do and has a really great Admin department that knows the business,
what can be done by the Ops dept and has a list of activities that
should be performed to satisfy the customers (yep! sequence files!)
We'll get to those in another nugget in the series!
3:
Operations is another QSM it consumes the "Operations"
Queue, generates the "Accounting" queue, and may generate events for CC
. This is the main abstraction layer between the developer and the
system components or HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). All interaction
between the application and other resources (except the file system and
KVM) takes place here. Again- we'll save that for another nugget.
4:
Accounting is another QSM it consumes the "Accounting"
Queue, generates "Executive" queue, and may generate events for CC .
Its job is to let the Executive know what the result of the operations
are so managemant can make an informed desicion on what to do next. And
it files reports in whatever format the Admin assistant's policy says to
do it in.
Each of these four main functions exist in all applications and all LabVIEW code. Here is CC GUI A.vi after saving
the
GUI responds to user clicks of "stop"(Tip Strip Val ="Press to stop
this vi ") and the vi changes state on the next loop iteration.
Executive
functions are encapsulated in the while loop itself Management is
simple: "Unless the last operation was True do the same thing again" (and the constant 10 is our admin assistant!!!! change it and the app behaves different)
Operations
"list of things the vi knows how to do" is limited to Update i, Wait
(n)mSec and (AN,D not then, no data dependancy so we are multitasking!)
read Stop
Accounting is in the condition terminal reporting the value of
stop- and we chose not to report anything- could have reported Array of
Stop, Last i, or any of the values we see either to the FP, any file
whatever! just illustrating a point.
Our requirements a a bit more detailed and we'll get back to the GUI next nugget:GUI FP object encapsulation.

Thanks for this nugget. The business case model looks interesting. I'm looking forward to see how this will evolve.
As a side note, I always like graphical sketches. So the basic idea of the interaction between the business entities could be drawn using boxes and arrows.

As ususal you and I are on the same page.
These images ...
and
appear im the documents I posted in this thread where I talked about doing the design first (consistancy).
The high level organizational, interaction diagrams are what I try to sketch up mentally during kick-off meetings. I use a variety of methods to get the information I need for these diagrams depending on what I know going in and the nature of the customer but... I don't let the meeting end until i have a picture tht models a system that meet the neeeds.
The diagrams doc what the customer wants, splits up the work into clean concise chunks, establishes responsibilities, needs, and the chararcter of each. In short they go a long way toward defining the design.
And for those apps you only up-date every three or four years...
There ain't nothing like those diagrams to gt you back into the same frame of mind you where when you designed it.

Certification Nugget: CLAD - Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer

About the CLAD Exam:
The clad_exam_prep_guide_english.pdf states that "A CLAD demonstrates a broad and complete understanding of the core features and functionality available in the LabVIEW Full Development System and possesses the ability to apply that knowledge to develop, debug, and maintain small LabVIEW modules." In other words, you should be able to to string LabVIEW functions together into meaningful LabVIEW code in accordance with LabVIEW best practices. You are mostly book-learned, but can develop and maintain small VIs, updating them as necessary.
The test itself is a one-hour multiple-choice exam with a passing grade of 70% and is available at Pearson VUE testing centers or NI branch offices. You'll get something to write on, and something to write with, in case you have to work out some problems.
NI Preparation Information:
The Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD) Exam Preparation E-Kit is National Instrument's official CLAD exam prep kit. You will find links to their exam prep guide, practice exams and other helpful items.
My Journey to become an NI Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer:
After quickly reviewing a sample CLAD test, in May of 2013 I walked into a test center, took the test and passed. Simple, huh? In truth, it was the culmination of about seven years of preparation - although I hadn't thought of it as such back then. It was all about visiting the NI LabVIEW Forum at least once a day, even if I had no questions to ask. Sometimes I just combed the forum looking for interesting topics. If I didn't understand something, I wasn't afraid to ask questions. I wasn't afraid to defend my position. (And occasionally I was even right!) Eventually I found that I was answering questions as well as asking them. My next question to ask was to myself: "Why not try the CLAD test?" So I glanced at a sample test, realized it felt more like a review than a test, walked into a test center, took the test and passed.
The reason behind my getting certified was to have something on my resume to compete with LabVIEW developers that had twice as much experience - or more - than I did. Seven years of experience may seem like a lot, but it's not.
Since then, I had become a CLD. With the CLAD, I showed that I knew basic LabVIEW concepts; with the CLD, I showed that, not only could I talk the talk, I could walk the walk. (The CLA shows that you can talk the talk and walk the walk, all while chewing gum and juggling a few chainsaws.)
My Personal Recommendations to Candidates:
This section will be a bit different than the corresponding sections in the other certification nuggets because there are really no specific strategies to doing well on the test other than know how to do well on a multiple choice exam. Instead, I will focus how to gather the LabVIEW knowledge necessary for you to pass the exam as well as discuss the path forward. That being said:
Check out the CLAD kit for sure, but I cannot stress enough the importance of being a regular visitor to the NI LabVIEW forum. The LabVIEW Gurus live there. Ask questions. Ask for clarification. Fill up from the information fire hose. If you're like me, it will only make you thirstier.
Follow the tutorials listed here (at the bottom, Looking for Free Training).
If you own a copy of LabVIEW or have LabVIEW installed at work, check to see if there is an active SSP. Oftentimes your employer doesn't even realize that the license includes free online training and is very glad to let you make use of it. Just make sure you get permission. It is their license, not yours. With the SSP you can take the online equivalents of the LabVIEW CORE classes (1,2 and 3) as well as a host of other courses.
Get the LabVIEW Home Bundle! It's the LabVIEW FULL Development system - for $50! You can't use it for commercial use, but heck. FIFTY BUCKS! Nothing like learning by doing.
Use the CLAD as a stepping stone to your CLD. You got your CLAD to distinguish yourself from the crowd only to learn that having a CLAD is like being a second lieutenant in the army. (Hint: The army is full of them.) Study hard and get that CLD! Become a senior officer! Show the world - and yourself - that you are serious about LabVIEW!
Comments?
I hope you found this nugget to be useful. I invite you to share your CLAD experiences: "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat," as it were. To the candidates: Study hard. Soak up the wealth of information from the NI LabVIEW forum. Fear not the CLAD test.

gregoryj wrote:
I've been hesitant to take the CLAD because I've read that it really doesn't mean much, and should not be taken if you don't intend to take the CLD. In my current position, I never work in a team (on software) or make very large applications, so I'm not sure my experience would prepare me for the CLD.
While it's true that it is a stepping stone to the CLD, it can also be used as a measuring stick to see how much you really know about LabVIEW. I actually think it could benefit you greatly because it will really make you start thinking "LabVIEW" if you haven't already. It's cheap and it's a short test. It could be a wise investment.
Plus, many places I've interviewed for give you a few questions right out of the practice exams to gauge your experience level. If you show that you're a CLAD, they may waive that test. In fact, some LabVIEW houses have been known to take a CLAD and train them up the a CLD - and pay for the test!

Oracle 11g certification in Developer track

I would like to go for Oracle 11g certification in Developer track. I've already given 1Z0-051 paper.
Is OCA 11g certification in Developer track now available. And if it is not currently available, I believe when it is going to be released the first paper is going to the be same (1Z0-051) and I could give the second paper and get the certification.
Please advise.

Could you please explain what is the difference between beta exam and the normal one.Q) What is the difference between a Beta exam and a production exam?
A) Beta exams are used by Oracle to test new exam questions with the participation of a live audience. Data gathered during beta testing are used to select the best questions for the production exam, and to eliminate questions that are ambiguous, too easy or too difficult, or are unhelpful in evaluating participants' knowledge level. Beta exams are offered at a discounted price; and candidates usually have either 3 or 3.5 hours to complete the exam, and may see 175 - 220 questions. For more details on how beta exams differ from the production version, visit the Oracle Certification Beta Exam Information web page.

Order Experience? Here goes ... I ordered a W541 configuration on 2/27 along with some accessories (one of which is delayed until July?*?). The bag and docking station should arrive tomorrow (3/9), and the laptop on Thursday (3/12). On March, I received an email from the <XYZ> employee discount program, and configured the same configuration. Turns out it was about $500 cheaper. I contacted Lenova, and the rep (through online chat) told me to configure the same order and take a screenshot. Well, the mistake here, and it wasn't never mentioned, was that the accessories should not have been included in the second configuration, only the laptop. I tried pleading my case to a couple of reps, even short of threating to kill the employee that lied to me, but they wouldn't budge. Since the deal (email) sent to me ended on Sunday, I can't reconfigure the same deal. To me, that is bunch of bs. Lenovo does not care about honoring anything. My next question was what is the process to return the laptop. Of course, they will charge me a 15% restocking fee. Perfect. That's great, it's lose/lose for the customer and win/win for Lenovo. Perhaps it was my fault, for not taking the time to find out more about the price matching policy, and taking the word of a certain employee. So, for future reference, only include the item that will be priced matched in the cart!! At any rate, when the laptop arrives, I will take out the drive and ram and replace it. I'll also replace the DVD drive with a second SSD. So it will have 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD space (2 512GB SSDs). I had planned to buy two 28" ThinkVision monitors, but I won't be doing that. I can't justify buying another item from Lenovo, nor recommend their brand to anyone. I'd really like to just return everything, but I'll still be charged ... so, I guess I'm screwed and will just have to make do!This isn't an excuse, but you shouldn't trust sales reps online. Pretty much every company hires the dumbest idiots off the street and doesn't teach them anything except how to look up promotional material you can already see yourself. I have yet to see a competent online sales rep that had a clue about what they were selling.

Issue Tracker, Bug Tracker, 0.9,Discussion Forum 0.91!

Hi all!
My question is very specific.
I have Software Projects application in Russian edition.(I translate this application).
I can put it for you.
Do you have Issue Tracker application, Bug Tracker 0.9 application, Discussion Forum 0.91 application in Russian edition ?
Thanks,
Roman.

Unfortunately the problem persists on OC4J904, so the alternative for you is to use OC4J902, you can setup a new container on a different port (other than used for 902) and register the provider using the direct URL of the OC4J902 container. This should solve the problem.

X-series appreciation thread

As many find their way to these forums for problem resolution, some posting negative thoughts, I opened this thread to express my complete satisfaction with the Thinkpad X61. It's not a review of any sort, just a post giving full kudos to Lenovo for a well-designed and solidly built machine with all the bells and whistles needed for anyone conducting serious or casual business.
I recently took possession of the X61 7675-92U w/T7500 (2.2GHz CPU) with the Ultrabase and can't get over how well this little machine performs. For a seasoned traveller, this machine is small enough to carry around without any thoughts or consideration to weigh, yet it performs comfortably at par with the more "powerful" T-series sibblings and sits comfortably on any desk for some serious number-crunching or a little distraction. I had a T61 before this and I can honestly state that this little X61 is not only a great performer, but is also a solidly built machine, loaded with all sorts of connectivity solutions and running as cool as a cucumber - and surprisingly, there's nothing lost in having a lower resolution screen.
So here's a two-thumbs up to Lenovo for putting together a fantastic system in a tiny package!

Absolutely not necessary, it's about the X-Series in the X-Series board.
I have seen X number of X-Series over several years; I must say it is the series which presents the least number of problems for me. The predecessor 240 was just as reliable and equally fantastic.

Linux-ck prerelease 3.3.0-1 thread - no discussion in the AUR plz

Mods - please don't delete this thread. I started it to allow early adopters of linux-ck in the 3.3.x tree to post issues in a place that isn't the AUR.
This thread is beneficial because:
1) It allows issues to get worked out prior to a broad release of the package series.
2) It does not bother folks subscribed to the aur page.
3) Keep the signal-to-noise ratio high in the aur page.
Since so many people want to start using linux-ck in the 3.3.x tree but we still don't have a stable version of BFQ yet. So:

D'oh, Sorry about that, it definitely makes more sense to use the forums. Deleted my AUR comments and moved my posts here.
Not sure if it's just me, but I am unable to build a working kernel with the 3.3.0-1 source package. My server (i686; SysVInit with XFS Root) won't even compile it. My laptop (x86_64; Systemd with compressed BTRFS Root) is able to compile it, but it complains that the disk is full on any action requiring disk writes (as a result, most of my daemons fail, and I cannot launch X). This doesn't occur when touching my ext2 /boot partition and df reports that the partition isn't full. I'm using localmodconfig and nconfig (changing only the processor type and tick frequency), though the same thing happens with an unaltered PKGBUILD.
The server's compile fails with this output:

Temp space isn't an issue, I've got my boxes setup to handle kernel compiles. The server uses a 2 GB reiserfs partition, and the laptop uses a 3.5 GB tmpfs mount. I'm not using zramswap, so that wouldn't be causing issues either.
Would there be any odd compiler/log output if I were to run out of inodes? The server's compile abruptly stops with no erroneous output aside from makepkg saying that the build failed. The laptop only has issues under the 3.3 CK kernel, 3.2.12-1-ARCH is working normally (3.2.13-1-CK was fine too).

[SOLVED] Tracking thread status

Warning: This is a basic question. I may seem silly for asking this. :-P
What is the best way to track the status of threads that I create? I see that you can "subscribe" to threads, but is there a page that lists all threads I have posted in, along with notifications for updates in those threads?
I was thinking something along of the "Track" system Drupal provides, but I can't find something like that anywhere...

Ahh, thank you everyone. Again, I'm sorry this was such a basic question, but I'm not terribly familiar with FluxBB (though it is very nice). For anyone who comes across this later, here's what I did...
1. Navigate to Profile > Privacy. Check "Automatically subscribe to every topic you post in."
2. Near the bottom of the forum, hover your mouse over the text "Show your subscribed topics". Copy the link location. Do not click the link and then copy the URL in the address bar, as the link redirects you to a temporary page that will not update to show new posts that you make.
3. Thread updates are marked by a solid blue box to the left of the thread name.
Thanks again, everyone!

Tracking threads with zero replies... is this possible?

Is it possible to search across forums for threads with zero replies? If not, perhaps this is one more for the new features request.

Tracking threads in an application

Hi,
My current application consists of a main thread which spawns multiple threads on startup. The main thread is like a daemon thread which is supposed to continuously run and monitor the threads it had spawned.
As long as the main thread is running it has the handle of all the threads it had spawned.
But if for some reason the main thread dies, how do i get a handle back to the threads the main thread had originally spawned.
I don't have the option to even serialize the child thread info as Thread objects cannot be serialized.
Anyone can suggest a better design or a way to handle this scenario?

I do agree that threads do don't just die. In the eventuality that a exception is thrown and the main comes out of the run method, i need to have a mechanism wherein when i run the main thread ( manager ) i can get retrieve the handle for the threads that were already spawned.
Its basically that a Manager spawns some worker threads and these threads run individually but there is a handle with the Manager. If the Manager thread is killed then I can restart the manager thread and it can resume its monitoring activity by getting the handle back to the child threads..
Am just wondering is the design too complicated if i implement using threads or can i use JMS or some other J2EE technology for the same functionality.

ThinkPad S-Series Shipping Thread

Ordered an S440 with a few upgrades on the 15th, and was wondering when everyone else got theirs? Ordering to the UK, and I haven't seen many threads that have orders being delayed etc. so I think I may have got it lucky and ordered one that doesn't have inventory issues or such.

Thanks for the info Christovic.
Just ordered a S431 today (we don't have S440 in Canada yet). Yesterday it would take "more than 4 weeks" to ship as soon as I upgraded to the HD+, today it was "less than 7 days". Not sure what changed.

Cannot read threads on discussion or elsewhere on the internet with Lion

Text in sites, and on these forums is all 'A''s in little squares. Nothing can be read. Lion is taking over and I don't know how to fix it.
Sometimes, like posting this, I can read my own post, but in other apps also, like InDesign, the lettering is all A's inside of little squares.

Same thing happened to me. I used Time Machine to restore my system fonts to just before everything went bad. Then I went through FontAgent Pro and removed any fonts that were duplicates of system fonts. Seemed to solve the problem.
New problem though is that the fonts I do have activated in FontAgent Pro are not showing up in any application font menus, so I can't get any work done. It's been 3 days of working with their tech support and no sollution yet. I'm going to miss deadlines. Not cool. I should have waited on the Lion upgrade.
Fortunately for me, I have no projects that require use of the Mac right now, awaiting client approvals. This gives me time to anticipate how I'm going to react to complete jobs, printer drivers do not work with Adobe CS programs, but do with with Acrobat, so I can convert some to PDF for printing while I wait to get issue resolved with printing.
This will all take time as each issue has to be worked out with each vendor, not an easy prospect as some vendors are non-existent in the customer service department. Lion is basically causing me to re-build my Mac. I like the speed and 'heft' of Lion, so I'm going to brave it through. I only hope I do not have to buy a second mac just to run Snow Leopard, which was the version that ran most everything just fine. I will not install separate OS's on my main Mac as I do not want to do that, I would rather just buy another new machine and keep it on the side to run old apps that are not available any longer, like OmniPage - the optical character reader program that really works, but not on Lion.
Best Wishes You Brave Souls,
Ken
