Coverting an application from test executive to test stand.

I have used LabWindows CVI and the "test executive" toolkit to develop production test applications. The production operators who use the programs like the look and feel of the interface.
I want to convert to Test Stand so that I can support solutions written in languages other than CVI. How do I modify the test stand user inteface so that I get an identical operator interface?

Hi Tom,
You can also convert your CVI test executive sequence files into Teststand sequence files. Under the Tools menu in the TS Sequence Editor you will find a wizard that performs the task for you. It will take the CVI callback functions and generated the equivilant TS Callback sequence calls. You may still have to make some manual changes, but you wont have to completely regenerate your original test sequences from scratch.

Test executive and Test stand deployment cost

Hello,
would some NI support engineer kindly answer below questions ? i would be obliged.
we have been running customized Test executive built from Test executive toolkit. We are now making decision as to whether We should migrate to test stand or keep the existing structure? Here are some questions:
1) in case We switch to test stand, do We still need to buy runtime engine license ?
2) can we call executables in Test stand ?
3) stating from ground zero, what is the deployment cost estimate between Test stand and customized test executive scenarios, from end user point of view ?
-Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
To answer your questions:
1) You will need to have a deployment (runtime) license for all the machines that you plan on running your application on. However, you will only need a full development license for the computer that you are actually developing the application on. You can see a full explanation of the different types of TestStand license in the document "When Should I Purchase a License for my TestStand System?"
2) In regards to calling executables, TestStand has a builtin step to call executables making it extremely easy to do. You can download an evaluation copy of TestStand here to see how easy it is to use as well as see the simple Call Executable Step.
3) In regards to price comparison between TestStand and a customized test application, this really depends on the project. Each project can have a different cost. However, you can take a look at this cost analysis to get a general idea of one example of cost comparison. This is just an example and also compares an older version of TestStand.
For more specific information about cost, please contact a sales representative at (888) 280-7645.

Transferring the application from development system to test system

Hi All,
I have developed Web Dynpro application in one system ( which is development system) as "Local Object" . Now i want to transfer the whole application to another system ( which is the test system) .Can anyone please tell me the steps needed to transfer it.
Regards,
Muzammil.

Hi Muzammil,
There are 2 ways.
1. open the local objects right click copy the WD component and provide a package which is not a temp. object and then you can transport.
Note: when you copy the application will not be copied.
2. in se80. go to other functions -> write transport entries -> relocation of object with package change -> Provide a package and a description a
and your component is ready to be transported...
Create application before transport..
Hope this helps

Moving the application from dev to testing..

Hi,
Now we are in a stage of Developing the application(Cube).How can we move the application from development server to testing server?

HI,
1. In your EAS , add both the analytic servers i.e of Development and testing .
2. NOw, you can either use 'Migration wizard' or you can even copy the whole application from one to other , this will only take care of the meta data . It doesnt copy the data .
3. For data, you got to export data ( without format and all data), and load it into the destination application . I recommend not to user any format option of export ,as you can do free form dataload without any rule file

Installing Test Executive 5.0 in LabVIEW 6.0.2

I'm trying to install Test Executive 5.0 in LabVIEW 6.0.2. However, I run into problems. When i Try to mass compile the test executive folder I get a lot of errors (see attached file), and I don't get the executive in the tools menu.
Could someone tell me what needs to be done?
Thanks,
/Martin

mass_compile_TestExec.txt ‏32 KB

I use Test Executive 5.1 with LabView 6.1 (after doing a mass compile) and have no problems.
It looks to me like Test Executive isn't installed correctly so some VIs are missing or in not the expected place. Try reinstalling Test Executive. Don't move any of its VIs after you install it.
You get a ### Bad VI message for a VI if any of its subVI's are missing. There's probably a lot of other reasons for Bad VI, but a bad install seems like the most likely reason. A install may be bad if it's incomplete or simply if you install it to a new location and the VIs that use it are still referencing the old location.
Test Stand is a much more powerful product (and I use it on other applications), but for an existing application with a limited budget, we upgraded LabView,
the PC and Windows, but we didn't replace Test Executive with Test Stand. Going to Test Stand, you not only have the cost of the Test Stand software, you also have the development cost of rewriting some code for Test Stand. Depending on your application and how much you customized Test Executive, the development cost may be significant.

How to load images when loading application from Jar

Hi,
my program runs fine and all the images load from within Netbeans but the images dont load when I run the application from the executable Jar I created.
In netbeans I used:
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("images/fractions/image1.png");This works when run from netbeans but not from the Jar file.
I created the Jar file using Netbeans Clean and Build function. Should this include the image files (which are located in an image folder 1 directory below the src folder were the .java files are located) or do I have to somehow explicitly say that the Jar should contain the images? or is there another reason the images aren't loading?
Any help appreciated

Hi,
my program runs fine and all the images load from
within Netbeans but the images dont load when I run
the application from the executable Jar I created.
In netbeans I used:
Image image =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("images/fractions
/image1.png");
You should be use the getImage() method that takes a URL as a parameter and use the getResource() method of the class to get the URL to the Image:
URL imageURL = getClass().getResource("images/fractions/image1.png");
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);See:

Webdynpro abap application attached to SWFVISU is tested from se80

hi,
when webdynpro ABAP application is attached to workitem in SWFVISU the the workitem id is passed via url when calling the application. (though the url seen in the application in se80 in the webdynrpo abap component does not have workitem id paramter)

I am running this application from se80 - application - right click - test. (this is required to troubleshoot one of the issues.)
at this time it does not ask for workitem id and directly runs the application . It picks the same workitem id everytime. I tried doing this with a couple of different user ids. but I cant figure out from where it picks this particular workitem id. the status of this workitem is complete in the system.
thanks
bhakti

Hi-
(though the url seen in the application in se80 in the webdynrpo abap component does not have workitem id paramter)
It is required to have a parameter WI_ID (as an Application parameter) in your WDA. And via this Application parameter WDA will receive the workitem id, when the task is exceuted from UWL (provided configuration is done in swfvisu)
Could you confirm, there is no Application parameter (WI_ID) in your WDA?
It picks the same workitem id everytime. I tried doing this with a couple of different user ids. but I cant figure out from where it picks this particular workitem id
If you defined WI_ID in Application parameter and there is an option to provide value and it seems, you have defined some value over there or other way might be in your method (inbound plug), you may gave default value to WI_ID in the parameter
If your application is working properly from UWL and for testing purpose, you could put a breakpoint and change the workitem id, when executing from se80

Best way to transfer application from Test Environment to Dev. Environment

Hi All,
We are try to create an application on Hosted Environment similar to www.apex.oracle.com.
We got two work space
1. app_production
2. app_test
My application will have 200+ tables and many other supporting object.
My question is in hosted environment what is the best way to copy application from test to production environment (P.S In hosted environment I can uses SQL Developer / TOAD or any other tool .. its similar to www.apex.oracle.com)
With my present workaround I have to use
Go to Utilites -> Generate DLL
and then export this and application..
The main problem is 200+ table and associated structures .. its very difficult to keep track ...
Can anyone suggest me any good way for HOSTED ENVIRONMENT

Hi,
Just an idea:
1 - Do a DDL export of the source env
2 - Do a DDL export of the target env
3 - Use some tool to compare those files and highlight the differences. There are even some tools that are smart enough to generate SQL statements to apply the differences in the target env.
I hope this helps.

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

Hi AJ,
Nice PDF !
Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?

It has been discussed here in detail-

since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?You may use deployment plan for this purpose. For access control, you may use Role Based access of Weblogic and EM. Please refer -

Migrate DRM application from PROD to TEST environment

How I can migrate all DRM application from PROD to TEST environment. The first way this is using migrate utility and then create all export/import utility. But this way does not give 100% guaranty of identity the PROD and TEST environment.
As relation database I am using Oracle DB. Can I migrate DRM application using exp/imp utility for oracle users (MDM and MDM_DB) and after that changing information directly in oracle tables in the TEST environment?

This response is not timely but others may find it useful...
You can use the Oracle database export and import processes, but there are several additional steps in the process. In general this is a high risk endevour that should not be attempted by the faint of heart. (See #3 below!) Attempt at your own peril.
1) Make a copy of the Username table so that you have the Test versions of the encrypted passwords for DRM internally managed accounts. These will need to be updated post import if there are any differences.
2) After you delete the tables in Test, it's best to create them with the install scripts prior to import because once an Oracle table containing a blob datatype has a stored value the Oracle import is no longer tolerant of changes in target tablespace names for all tables containing blobs within that schema. (Known bug) However, the create tables install script has an insert statement or two that need to be commented out or the import will create duplicate rows that will cause errors enabling constraints.
3) After the import completes all exports and books need to be modified to no longer point to production target locations, especially for exports to database tables! Ideally this step would be completed and QA'd prior to starting the application server; however, the application server must be running if the migration utility is going to be leveraged to propagate these updates so the process I use is to lockout all users until this step is completed.
4) Also note that if the Prod and Test app servers are not using the same authentication settings the system preference needs to be changed or the application server may not start.

Error: Page cannot be displayed when testing BSP application from SE80

Hi:
I am new to SAP 4.7. I need help in running BSP application from SE80. When I run, I am geting error the page cannot be displayed. Can some suggests/advice what are the neccessary steps ahould follow to run BSP application.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Welcome to the forums and welcome to BSP. There are a few things we kindly ask
Take a look at this weblog: <a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/06/11/bsp-trouble-shooting-getting-help">BSP Trouble Shooting: Getting Help</a>
That will help you jump several of the hurdles you'll come across as you get started.
As for your problem if you are receiving the message "Service is not active" then you need to go into the transaction SICF in your system and follow the tree (take a look at the path in your browser /sap/bc/...) and select each until you get down to the one you are trying to look at and active it.
If you are getting errors about other ones not activated then do the same for those.
If you are not getting those errors and your browser is simply telling you "Can't find it or something" then in "Internet Options" in your browser advanced tab uncheck the "Show Friendly HTTP Errors".
You can also check transaction ST22 to see if there is a short dump in which case that will help analyze the problem.
Otherwise you'll need to give us more info including your SP level (recommend you jump up to at least 43 on ABA and BASIS)

Unable to execute existing Design Studio applications from BI Launchpad after updating to 1.4!

Hello Experts,
We upgraded our SAP BO from 4.0 to SAP BO 4.1 SP5 and also updated our Design Studio from 1.2 directly to 1.4.
Upon testing the existing application in Design Studio it so happens that the existing application is sucessfully executed in local mode. However it does run from the BI Launchpad.
I tried creating a new application in Design Studio 1.4 whick works fine in both local and BI launchpad but my previous created application in 1.2 (now loaded in Design Studio 1.4) should also work, I don't know the reason why it dosen't work.Need help on how to proceed further.
Attached is the error which I get when ezecuting application in BI Launchpad.
Reply Awaited.
Best Regards,
Niyati S.

Hi Tammy,
Sorry none of the mentioned steps get synced with my situation since I have no problem executing new applications from BI Launchpad but only my old ones.
I read the article http://scn.sap.com/community/businessobjects-design-studio/blog/2014/11/26/ds-14-server-installation and it mentions just smooth execution of existing Design Studio application after updating to 1.4. Wish that would have been the case with me too!
Looking forward to finding solution of the problem.
Regards,
Niyati S.
