CLD - property booleans

HI
I am fairly new to Labview (Around 6 months experience of assisting someone in a cRIO project) and taught myself from NI site and textbooks. Was trying to solve one of the CLD problem scenarios- car wash and am having trouble dealing with property nodes of booleans.
Those of you who are not familiar with the car wash scenario, it has 2 wash selections and each selection goes through different number of cycles and 3 proximity sensors indicate if the car is out of position.
I used a state machine in the main vi and am sending the references of the clusters to the sub vis and invoking value change property nodes on them to update them, and used the pausable elapsed time example to keep track of time and pause the time when the vehicle is out of position.
Attached is my attempt, and it worked just perfectly satisfying all the conditions until I tried to send the stop boolean to the sub vi to stop it. After reading lots of posts on the discussion forums, even tried changing the mechanical action to switch than latch and still the boolean property node throws an error. The sub vi has a case structure in a while loop and I am assuming everything runs in parallel (Am I correct?)
Can anybody please suggest a way to deal with the stop button and why it is throwing an error ?
Please please ignore my error handling and the missing documentation. I promise I will work on it

I tried to read the stop using a global variable but still it takes a little time to stop. Before that I still want to know why the ref number to the boolean is misbehaving
Thanks

Set ALV Cell visibility property

Hi,
I would have 2 tables for ALV. One table consists of the data to be bound to the ALV. The other table would have the read only property(boolean) filled for each of the ALV cells.
I would want to set the property of each ALV cell using the second table. How do i do that?
Currently i am just testing it for few attributes statically using the below code.
DATA lo_nd_date_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_date_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA: lt_ele_set TYPE wdr_context_element_set.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <DATE_TABLE> via lead selection
lo_nd_date_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_date_table ).
lt_ele_set = lo_nd_date_table->get_elements( ).
LOOP AT lt_ele_set INTO lo_el_date_table.
      lo_el_date_table->set_attribute_property(
           attribute_name = 'WK02'                                 -
> Attribute Name (Column Name)
           property       = if_wd_context_element=>e_property-read_only
           value          = 'X' ).
<< Similarly for other attributes>>
ENDLOOP.
I have inserted this code at the end. Initially few other properties were set to the cells.
This seems to be not working.
Regards,
Rekha

Hi Lekha,
In my case, the columns represents dates. The rows represent projects. So, only those row cells are editable where the project is valid.
1. I have created READ_ONLY attribute for the date node (table).
2. I am filling the READ_ONLY to abap_true or abap_false based on the following condition.
   Even if one of the projects is not valid for a date, then READ_ONLY = ABAP_TRUE. This means, even if one cell is set to abap_true, then READ_ONLY is set to abap_true.
3. I modify the date node and bind it with the READ_ONLY set row wise.
Loop at the data and set read only
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <DATE_TABLE> via lead selection
lo_nd_date_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_date_table ).
CALL METHOD lo_nd_date_table->get_static_attributes_table
    IMPORTING
      table = lt_date_table    .
LOOP AT lt_date_table INTO ls_date_table.
    lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
      READ TABLE wd_this->gt_prop INTO ls_prop INDEX lv_tabix.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        IF ls_prop-wk01 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk02 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk03 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk04 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk05 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk06 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk07 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk08 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk09 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk10 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk11 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk12 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk13 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk14 = abap_true OR
          ls_prop-wk15 = abap_true.
          ls_date_table-read_only = abap_true.
        ELSE.
          ls_date_table-read_only = abap_false.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    MODIFY lt_date_table FROM ls_date_table INDEX lv_tabix TRANSPORTING read_only.
ENDLOOP.
CALL METHOD lo_nd_date_table->bind_table
    EXPORTING
      new_items            = lt_date_table
      set_initial_elements = abap_true.
4. I loop through the column reference and use the code mentioned earlier.
          CREATE OBJECT lr_input
            EXPORTING
              value_fieldname = lv_id.
          lo_column->set_cell_editor( value = lr_input ).
          lr_input->set_read_only_fieldname( value = 'READ_ONLY' ).
The expected output is different from the input i had mentioned earlier for Row 1, row 2, Row 3 and row 4. Here, i would get all the rows as non editable except for Row 3.
I would want to set all columns based on condition.

Couple of pointers.
1 - use [ code ] tags to post code
2 - that is WAY too much code for more than a cursory glance. You're lucky the problem was easy to spot.
Your problem lies in your edit JSP form:
<td>Product Name:</td>
<td><input name="description" type="text" value="<jsp:getProperty name="inventoryBean" property="item" />"></td>Note that the name of the input field is different from the jsp property you are populating it with.
In fact, all of your input fields have a name of "description"
I would recommend on your inventory_admin.jsp page that you put the following debugging code to make sure that the parameter values come through and are set correctly.
out.println("name = param: " + request.getParameter("name") + "bean = " + inventoryBean.getName() + "<BR>");
out.println("description = param:" + request.getParameter("description") + "bean = " + inventoryBean.getDescription() + "<BR>");

Why in COM, set smth true, stays true even after System.exit?

I am using "Jacob" to do COM calls. When I alter the "ShowAll" property of Word.Application and I set it to true, it will then forever be true even if I exit the application AND quit the word application. If I set it to false, the same thing happens, it will always be so. The code to call/set this is:
(NOTE: This uses classes I made to wrap the Dispatch calls)
Word wordApp = new Word();
Documents docs = wordApp.getDocuments();
Document doc = docs.open("D:\\JavaProjects\\Test.doc");
//GET VIEW
View wordView = wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView();
//PRINT THE VIEW PROPERTIES
System.out.println("Show All: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowAll());
System.out.println("Show Paragraphs: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowParagraphs());
//SET THE VIEW PROPERTIES
wordView.setShowAll(false);
wordView.setShowParagraphs(true);
//PRINT THEM AGAIN
System.out.println("Show All: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowAll());
System.out.println("Show Paragraphs: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowParagraphs());
doc.close(Document.DO_NOT_SAVE);
wordApp.quit(new Variant[] {});
System.exit(0);The actual Dispatch calls are:
//NO IDEA WHY THIS IS, BUT SHOWALL = TRUE IS -1, AND FALSE IS 0
private final static int SHOW_ALL_TRUE = -1;
private final static int SHOW_ALL_FALSE = 0;
/** SETSHOWPARAGRAPHS **
* Sets the property (boolean) ShowParagraphs.
public void setShowParagraphs(boolean showParagraphs)
     Dispatch.put(this, "ShowParagraphs", new Boolean(showParagraphs));
/** ISSHOWPARAGRAPHS **
* Returns Boolean of whether or not this is set to show paragraphs.
public boolean isShowParagraphs()
     return getBooleanValue(Dispatch.get(this, "ShowParagraphs"));
private boolean getBooleanValue(Variant variantBoolean)
     //MAKE IT AN INTEGER AND GET ITS int VALUE
     int intVariant = new Integer(variantBoolean.toString()).intValue();
     //RETURN IF IS SHOW ALL
     return (intVariant == View.SHOW_ALL_TRUE);
}I'm wondering if the problem is that I get back either -1 or 0 and if maybe that means something else?

1: Properties persistence is not a DEFECT but a FEATURE . It was implemented in MS Word so users could change MS word WITHOUT HAVING TO DO IT EACH TIME THEY START IT UP.
2: Don't you intialise all your variables in your code after you instanciated them ? I am sure you do so and therefore the persitence feature you described should not be annoying you at all. It is not necessary to intialise variables in the BASIC langage but that does not mean you should not do it.
3: (-1) was chosen arbitrary by Microsoft as the TRUE value for Boolean datatype and 0 the value for FALSE when they designed Visual Basic. This is not a problem if you write code properly
I recommend you test bool variable in any langages using the following test:
(myBool <> 0)
HAVE A THINK ABOUT IT
Finally,
you need to understand what you are working with before you complain about it.
Argument for Argument sake is not good and if you think MS word is a bad program just don't use it. go and write your own word processor in JAVA.
GOOD LUCK

Making SOAP calls to a 3rd party Web service with PeopleCode

Hi everyone :) I'm new to PS and have two questions (the first is most important):
1. Are there any good resources for using PeopleCode to make SOAP (or even GET/POST) requests to Web services hosted outside a PS environment? I found [this page|http://www.zutshigroup.com/site/tech/peoplesoft_soap_example], but it doesn't appear to connect to a remote WSDL.
2. How does development work, exactly? I'm used to the standard web languages where you launch a local dev server like IIS, launch an IDE, build code, and view the output in a browser. Does the PS model work like this?
I am a developer for a company who offers Web services and am soon going to be remotely connecting to another company's PS dev environment to develop some sample code for them that integrates our services with their PS. I have no experience with the platform and due to the complexity of the PS installation won't be able to try it out before I begin developing. I would like to get as good a feel for this platform as I can before the meeting.
I appreciate any information you can give me on sample code resources, workflow concepts, etc, but my question is primarily about SOAP requests. I can research the rest.
Thank you!

Hi,
Not sure if that App Package is available in versions below 9. But, I think it should be available since PS internally does use the same App Class for integrating with Tax softwares like Vertex and Taxware. Also that example is used when one does not want to make use of any IB Objects...
You can definitely go ahead and make use of Standard IB Objects to Consume and Provide a Web Service in PS...
Would like to know, if PS is the Consumer or the Provider?
If PS is the Consumer then you can have a look at the code below ...

Is flash playing?

I have spent a lot of time trying to find out if it is
possible to detect if a flash 8 file is playing or if it has
stoped. Basicly I need a property (boolean) in the MovieClip class
like "isPlaying". In earlyer versions of flash I have extended the
play - stop - gotoAndPlay - gotoAndStop functions and applied code
that sets a boolean value, but I have not succeeded in doing so in
Flash8. There are several solutions like using onEnterFrame, and
intervals to check for diffrences in _current frame, but I'm
looking for a more "clean" code. In my project I am loading several
swf's therefore I cannot create an extended version of the
MovieClip, unless it is possible to modify the class files in "Firs
Run\Classes\FP8"
I was supprised not to fint much about this issue, please let
me be adviced if you have any experiences in this concern.

I guess it is possible, but I still dont see how.
In my project I have to flash files, a main file which I
embed in html, and a "sub" file which is beeing loaded into a
container. In earlyer versions of my project I had a code in the
first keyframe of the sub file, which was simular to this:
this.play_org = function = play;
play = function () {
this.play_org();
this.m_bPlaying=true;
I olso had simular to the above code for stop - gotoAndPlay -
gotoAndStop. The main flash file checks on diffrent intervals if
the sub movieclip is playing, and triggers diffrent events based on
the result.
The old code does not work in flash 8, so I have to find
another way/code. Do you know if it is possible to re-write the
code in the folder "Firs Run\Classes\FP8" that adds the above
functionality to all flash files I create?

Waiting for class instatiation

What is the best way to achieve the following:
My _root timeline reaches frame 10 labeled init. On this
frame their are
several MovieClips on the stage, and a couple are attached at
run time.
Each of these MovieClips is defined by a class and each
contains a doInit()
function.
First off, is a class Object instantiated when an instance of
it appears on
the Stage or is attached, is that right? Second, say I have 6
different
instances of these MovieClips and each is running a doInit
function... what
is the best way to alert another function (a function that
will actually
move these MovieClips onto the Stage with _x, _y and _alpha
Tweening) after
all of my classes doInit() function are done.
I figured I could create an instance property (Boolean) in
each class to
define its completion status called isInited... then have a
timer loop
checking the return values of all the classes for some method
like
getIsInited() and only running my Tween functions at that
time then delting
itself.
But, I also figure there is a way to do it with a
listener/broadcaster
solution. It makes a lot more sense to me to have the classes
either inited
in a chain with the final one broadcasting a message, or have
each one
broadcast a message and only run when all have been
broadcast... does this
make any sense?
I have not done to much with listerners expept for movieclip
loaders. Is
this a job for adBroadcast?
Thanks for any help.

I just thought of something and tried it. I removed a couple
of component
comboBoxes from a MovieClip instance on the Stage that acts
as a selection
interface. It seems that when I do my Tweens, the load is too
much and the
Tween is not seen. Any ideas here?

                    //house = (Property) allHouses.elementAt(i);
     return matches;
This class gets two objects (a house and a customer) and then matches them based on criteria, puts the objects in a vector and then sends it to another class to be used in a report. If i turn the rest of the code into comments so that i am only matching the house and customer with one criteria (e.g. is the house type the same as the customer type), then it works correctly and produces a vector with one customer and all the houses which have the same type. however whenever i try and match the houses with the customer based on two or more criteria, then it picks houses which dont necessarily match this criteria.
any help would be greatly appreciated as i am really stuck and dont know who to turn to
thanx

Query regarding Application Classes.

While going through the Application classes, I've come accross a code where a Property is defined without a name as follows.
class BusinessUnitOptions
property boolean get;
end-class;
Can anybody tell me how it works and what is the concept behind it?
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh

Actually Saurabh, PeopleCode is usually quite strict about the use of keywords. For example, error is a keyword. As such, error cannot be a method of a class. On the other hand, just for a test, I created a class with the methods get(), class(), private(), boolean(), Record(), and CreateRecord() and was able to call those methods from a test program. I tried creating methods named if and error, but those keywords won't compile. Just for fun, I tried creating functions named boolean, class, and private. The functions compile, but I can only call boolean. Even though the class and private functions compile, the code that calls them wont.
Even though it works, I strongly discourage the practice of using reserved words for method and function names. I'm sure you already know this, but I just want to make it clear to all who read this thread.

Populating values in Boolean Property

Hi ,
I am working on version 11.1.2 . I have created a Boolean property - 'Country Flag' . Made that property as Defined , Boolean and Local Node.
I am trying to import a file with this property value as 'TRUE' . But in the imported hierarchy , this boolean property does not show up any value(True / False).
The below is the file i am trying to import-
[hier]
Product|P000000
[relation]
P000000|NA|Total Product|True
P100000|P000000|Cars|True
P110000|P100000|Hatchback|False
P121000|P110000|Yaris|True
P121100|P121000|Yaris - 3 Door Liftback|False
The last value does not get populated in the hierarchy in DRM.
Please help in this
Thanks.

Hi ,
I visited the link - http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/products/epm/111200/E-17236/epm.1112/drm_1112000_readme.pdf
Its mentioned there that this is known issue
Defect no - 9450750
Imported hierarchy-level properties of type Boolean do not get set.
But in my case I created a local node property and not a hierarchy level property so does this defect applies to local node properties as well?
Thanks for the clarification in advance!!

Use of boolean property node in LabView 6i

I am running LabView 6i version 6.0.2.
I am using a reference to a front panel boolean control to stop the execution of a state machine in a subVI. The subVI has a property node linked to this reference. This property node shows that it is "Bool", but when I set the property node's element to "value", the value is not a boolean type. I can't figure out how to set the boolean property node's element so that I can read the state of the boolean control. How should I configure this?

The data type of the value property is a variant. It is possible to convert a variant to a boolean, but you probably don't want to do that.
The reason is that you have the mechanical action of the boolean set to "latch ...", and that means that the value property isn't very useful.
Change the mechanical action to "switch ...", then the value property will be a boolean.
Note that this means that you will probably have to reset the boolean programatically after the user clicks on it.

CF9 Service not starting - error parsing boolean property notifyclientonalert

Hi, I clean installed CF9 (after uninstalling CF8) on win2003 32bit and all was workign fine, however after a server restart the CF9 Application service refuses to start automatically or manually. I am getting an error in windows event logs saying see Coldfsuion logs, but there is nothing in these logs, not very helppful! any ideas apart from a reinstall?
After reinstalling I get the same problme, but this tuime in coldfusion server log I get the following error message
"Error","jrpp-2","11/17/11","16:21:59",,"Monitor service: Error parsing boolean property notifyclientonalert, using default false"
thanks
Oli

Hi Oli,
Suggest try start CF from CMD prompt. Run cmd as an admin, CD ColdFusion9\bin\ , type CFSTART press enter. Some detail of what happens?

Add boolean property to user details

I have created a km property with type "Boolean" and render "boolean" but UME card displays that property as text field.
Portal: EP7.0SP16
Does anybody know is it possible to render custom attribute(booleans) as checkbox?

Hi
You can add custom attributes for users in UME configuration.Separate each property with ;.
These custom property only supports string ,so you need to convert them explicitly in your code.

Boolean property export issue in DRM

Hi All,
We have a boolean property in DRM. In DRM 1.1.2, when we export this property to Database, it populates value as -1 for True and 0 for false.
But in DRM 1.2.2, the values appear as TRUE/FALSE in the column in the database. Is this an expected change in the DRM behaviour?
This is causing problems in our integration logic.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad

Hi Shashank,
With the latest patch .306 and a series of prior ones , its more like the Character encoding sets have started working in DRM and they will slip in special characters here and there, I have faced this with the latest releases of DRM.
It would be advisable to use US ASCII encoding or Western European Windows.. that should solve your issue.
If you have to make changes on all the exports and if they are too many in number then search xml tag
<drm:CodePage>20127</drm:CodePage>
and make sure the code page is 20127 which represents US ASCII.

Use property nodes to change the state of a boolean through time

I want to be able to switch the value from a boolean control, using property nodes, so that if the time elapsed is equal to 0,1 ,2 ,3 s, it should be false and if the time is equal o.5,1.5,2.5 s, the value should be true.
Can some one tell me how to do this with propert nodes or with any other method?
Thanks in advance!

-Check this link for ideas on how to make loop run for specific period of time.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/how-to-make-a-loop-run-for-specific-period-of-time/td-p/1641018
-To change value using property node>>right click boolean>>create>>Property node>>value>> Change it to write.
-Forget about specific period of time, first learn to change the value of boolean programmatically.
Thanks
