Create step type for a COM step

Hi,
I'm using the COM adapter to interface with TestComplete.
My current setup is I have a Master sequence file that contains two calling sequence files ( one for each test).
The individual called sequence file have 4 steps as listed:
Get Property: Create new object
Calling a method to open project
Call method to run test, and pass parameter to TestComplete
Get property result
My problem is if I want to pass a different parameter in the Call method to run test Step, I have to create another sequence file to do this.
Is there a way to create a single Step Type to call method, run the test and pass parameter to TestComplete? and how will it affect the other steps in this sequence file (e.g. Create new object, open project, Get property resut)?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jigg,
Thanks for your help. Please see attached file.
Yes, I have to create another sequence file(with the 4 steps) if I need to pass a different parameter value to TestComplete via COM.
note: the parameters that are used by the 4 steps are all in the Parameter tab.
Regards,
ph

Add-on step types for TestStand?

I am almost certainly reinventing some wheels with Teststand by creating some basic test types.
For example, I just wrote a custom step type for taking an analog measurement from a DAQmx instrument. Surely someone has done this before, and surely someone will want to do it again. There's nothing proprietary about code that simple, and I'd be happy to give it away if there was a place to post it.
Two questions:
1. Is there an open-source repository for sharing custom step types?
2. Are there add-ons for purchase with canned step types beyond those which come with TestStand?
-Arthur

Hi Jigg,
I looked at Averna.com, and I don't see any add-ins available on their website. It looks like they offer services mostly.
It's a good point about TS projects being so varied and customized. However, if custom step types are well architected, as the built-in step types are, then they ought to be reusable by others.
You're right also that I can accomplish my DAQmx steps easily using an Action step with the LV adapter. My motivation for the custom step is to improve the interface for setting up such an action. In particular, when using an IO channel in TS, I have to manually type in a text string for the DeviceName value, whereas I'd like to choose from a list of global names (e.g. with the global channel list control in LV). I can get this affect by using an Enum in a wrapper VI, which maps to an array of channel constants; but this is fragile if the available channels are changed (e.g. added, removed or renamed in MAX).
Additionally, a custom step type is better than a step template for my purposes, because I can propagate changes in the step type to instances of steps throughout the test. This is incredibly valuable to me during development and debugging. It saves me time when I want to update a step that I've used many times throughout a test sequence. Although TS isn't itself a programming language, I find that I expect it to share certain traits with programming languages to facilitate development, such as type abstractions and a strict enforcement of congruency between types and instances. But I digress....
Thanks for your suggestions.

Can you ellaborate ?
Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.

Workflow Step type for Container Operation

Hi,
A STEP in a given Workflow has to have an Agent? Can't I create a Step to get data from the DB into the container and that's it?
I have created a container variable called "Grade" and I need to fetch the Grade of a User (WF Inititator) from a DB table and populate the "Grade" variable from the container that will be used in further steps.
The Workflow gets kicked off but when it reaches the STEP, it stays there waiting for something (Action from a user?).
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto

Ok, now this is getting weird. Will try to explain what I am doing for one single step:
1) I have my workflow. On PFTC I Have a workflow Template. Under the Container Tab I created a Parameter called "Grade" with the Import/Export check-boxes set and a "CreatedBy" parameter with the import/export check-boxes set as well.
2) Then on the Workflow Builder I created a Step called Get Grade. This step calls a Custom Task and processes in the background so there is no agent determination.
    2.1) Here I have two bindings: a) Binding Between Workflow Container and Task and between Task and BO Method
           Get_grade. The Method Get_grade has 2 parameters (CreatedBy, that is an attribute of the Object and is an import
           parameteter and Grade that it is an import/export parameter).
    2.2) The Binding between the WF Container and the Task is like this:
              &PROCCONFIRMATION.CREATEDBY& --> &CREATEDBY&
              &GRADE& <-- &GRADE&
    2.3) Binding Between Task and Method is:
             &_WI_OBJECT_ID.CREATEDBY& --> &CREATEDBY&
             &GRADE& <-- &GRADE&
    2.4) The Code for my method is:
begin_method get_grade changing container.
DATA:
      lv_grade TYPE zmm_app_req_info-grade,
      lv_userid TYPE zmm_app_req_info-requestor
swc_get_property self 'CreatedBy' lv_userid.
SELECT SINGLE grade FROM zmm_app_req_info
INTO lv_grade
WHERE requestor = lv_userid.
IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
swc_set_element container 'Grade' lv_grade.
ENDIF.
end_method.
The only thing I need is to get the Grade parameter of the WF Container populated. This parameter will be used later on.
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto.

Hi Mandan,
As long as I know the maximum column for printing is 255.
Might be you can split your output into 2 rows...

Dear Kittu,
For your requirement needs output determination settings for the billing.
I don't think you can have Medium PDF ,you can send the PDF file Via Medium Mail.
To do the output determination proceed with this path
IMG>Sales and Distribution->Basic functions>Output control>Output determination>Output Determination Using the Condition Technique-->Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents.
-->Maintain Condition Tables
-->Maintain Output Types
-->Maintain Access Sequences
-->Assign Output Types To Partner Functios
-->Maintain Output Determination Procedure
-->Assign Output Determination Procedures
You have to assign output program to your output type.You need develop the program such a way that to send the PDF file Via Mail.
After these settings you need to maintain the condition record with Medium Mail in VV31 transaction.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

NB document type for Int com stk trns

Hi Experts,
I created a PO for stk transfer from plant belongs to co code A TO plant belongs to co code B. Now against the PO I created Del(NLCC) and I checked the status on Del doc before PGI. Here the document says its not relevant for Billing. How to go with billing for this scenario? and also I want the accounting document to be posted for this scenario.should I go with IV or reassign another priprocedure with different billing document like F8(proforma which wont get accounting posted, so no use). Please give me some solution which billing document I should Use and where should I configure that before the creation of Delivery?
Thanks,
Kanna palle.

In this scenario, the delivery document shows the status "not relevant for biling" before billling document gets generate.
You can still continue with billing the delivery document. If you are still not able to create billing document, there is a SAP note which needs to be apply. You can search for this note by providing your issue
Thanks

TestStand 3.5 is not reporting step results for under three steps

Is there a minimum number of steps that need to return results from a called sequence in order for them to be reported?
Here a description of my problem:
My main test code calls a sequence file that contains a varying number of test steps in the Main section of the sequence file. There are also some Setup and Cleanup steps that do not return results to the main test code. When my number of test steps is at least three, everything works fine and all test step's results appear in the report. When my number of test steps is less than three, no results are shown in the report. In addition, if I record results of a miscellaneous step in the Cleanup section and have two test steps in the Main section (so a total of three steps returning results to the main test code) then the results appear in the report.
I verified that this was not particular to my piece of code by creating two new sequence files: one with three steps (Test 1, Test 2, Test 3), and one that calls the first. When at least three steps are present, the results of each step are recorded, but when I erase Test 3, nothing is reported.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
Please find attached an updated report sequence file.
The problem was because you had skipped the Sequence Name steps. This adds two extra lines to the report. Therefore in the precondition of 'Remove Empty Sequence Results' step, the expression was still deducting these two lines, which longer exist in the report. Hence the reason why you were lossing the step results in the Sequence.
I have removed the -2 from the expression.
Hope this explains everything for you.

Ray
