Dynamically Create Test Step

I want a TestStand sequence to dynamically create multiple copies of a test step (with different parameters). We are currently looping on the test step, but this doesn't provide a clear indication to the operator what test steps have been and will be executed. I tried to do a SetNumElements(RunState.Sequence.Main, numElements) and an InsertElements(RunState.Sequence.Main, index, numElements), but they both made the new steps of type "Container" instead of type "Step" and when I tried to copy the test step it gave me an Error: "-17321; Variable or property types do not match or are not compatible."
Has anyone successfully done this? Thank you in advance.

Thank everyone for your help. I have successfully copied test steps. I have had one difficulty though. If the step I copy is a function call with a relative path to the DLL and the DLL is located in the same directory as the test sequence, the copies are not able to find the DLL (the original step is able to do so). I have "Current Sequence File Directory" selected in the search directory list. I checked and it seems as though the paths to all of the pre-defined directories (including "Current Sequence File Directory") are empty ("") at run-time. I don't want to add the path in the directory search list, nor do I want to hard code the path in the sequence file.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Optimally I would like to dynamically specify the absolute path to the DLL, but I couldn't find a property or process to do this. Thank you in advance for your help.

Load "Selected" in a Property Loader test step from file

Hi,
The Import/Export tool stores its selected properties in the file �PLPropertyLoader.ini�. Is it possible to use this file to specify which properties a �Property Loader Test Step� should load? How? Then the information about what to export and load dynamically later is stored in the same location and the risk possibilities is reduced to one place.
Best regards,

Morten -
By default, the Property Loader step type stores its selected property list in the step's property "Step.PropertyList". The Edit Property Loader dialog box has the "Property List Source" expression control that specifies this as its value.
If you created a Station Globals array property of type "DatabasePropertyMapping", you could specify that the steps use this property. You might have to set to show hidden properties to find the "DatabasePropertyMapping" type in the insert menu. Note that when you do this when you edit the selected list in a step you are editing the selected list stored in the station global array property.

How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

Hi,
I would like to take values from a property file and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
step.propertieslist[0].
Any ideas?
Thanks,
m
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree that it would be nice. The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically. What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone. The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype. And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters. Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter.
I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters. This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API. HMMM now that would be an interesting project...

How can i create a Step in OBBH

Hi.
I want to use a exit with " exits-param = C_EXIT_PARAM_CLASS." in T-code "OBBH' to change the test of doc item.
I create the form and append this form into exits.
But now I find i can't create a step in "complete document".
Message:
You may not substitute any fields for this Event
Message no. GB175
Diagnosis
Although substitutions are permitted for the boolesche class 15 (application area FI, Event 0003), the application did not release any field for substitution.
System response
Processing is terminated. You cannot change any field for this Event (even within a substitution exit). Defining a substitute therefore makes no sense.
But my friend can create the Step in Complete document.
Please help me how can i create it ...

Hi,
SAP limits the number of fields that you can use for substitution. If you want to use a field that SAP does not make available for substitution, you have to modify table GB01.

Uploading data from excel file to a dynamically created internal table

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to upload data from an excel file into a database table. I would be able to determine the structure of the table only at runtime based on the user input.. so i have created an internal table dynamically.
Could you please tell me if its possible to upload data from an excel file to the dynamically created internal table using any function modules?
I thought of doing this by declaring a generic internal table of one field and then uploading the *.csv file into it and then splitting it based on "," and then assigning it to the field symbol referencing the internal table.. but my file length exceeds 132 characters and i'm only able to get data of lenght 132 char's in my internal table ( generic one).
Could anyone please show me a way around this.

How to set a value to a dynamically created node/attribute?

Hi,
I dynamically created attributes using the following method,
IWDNodeInfo cbOptions = wdContext.getNodeInfo().addChild("cbOpt"+count, null, true, true, false, false, false, true, null, null, null);
cbOptions.addAttribute("opt"+critEle.getQuest_Critid(), "ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string");
How do i assign a value to it now, since the node/attribute cannot be accessed via wdcontext?
On a side note, it seems really troublesome if i need to use a checkbox grp(s) dynamically. I actually need to dynamically create a seperate node + attribute for each checkbox grp i have. Is there any better way to do this?
Thanx in advance

Hi
Steps:
1) Create the action click is done statically (you cannot create action dyanmically)
2) binding the action click to checkbox dynamically
code
public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivateDynamicProgrammingView wdThis, IPrivateDynamicProgrammingView.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)
    //@@begin wdDoModifyView
     if(firstTime){
                  IWDTransparentContainer con=(IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("RootUIElementContainer");
          IWDCheckBox checkBox=(IWDCheckBox)view.createElement(IWDCheckBox.class,"ck");
          IWDAction act=wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateDynamicProgrammingView.WDActionEventHandler.CLICK,"");
          checkBox.setOnToggle(act);
          con.addChild(checkBox);

Create test sequence from lab view - add it to the .seq file

Hello All,
I have a query. consider an test sequence that has already stored in "Test.seq" format. let us say we have 5 test steps.
now is it possible to add a new test step to this existing test sequence using Lab VIEW. I mean if we enter a new test step this has to reflect in the existing test sequence "Test.seq". i.e in the "Test.seq" we must have 6 test steps.
If this is possible let me know how this can be done.

Michels,
Guenter mande a very good point. Make sure to take a look at the forum thread he linked to see the licensing implications of creating your own Sequences.
There is a very good forum thread that discusses how to create steps programmatically. You can find the forum here:

Where the string "failed" is created in steps in the main sequence to fill into Parameter.Result PostUUT in the NI teststand II courese example 4-1 Modifying callback.seq

For PostUUT in the NI teststand II courese example 4-1 Modifying callback.seq, there are two steps, one is Test Passed,
the other is Test Failed, both set each preconditions, for example, Parameters.Result.Status == "Failed" in the test failed step, if the step failed in the main sequence,the string "failed " is filled into Parameters.Result.Status
but I can't find where the string "failed" is created in steps in the main sequence.
Because I can't find any expression in any steps to fill into Parameters.Result of the test failed step in the PostUUT.
In fact, when running if step fails, the string "failed " is filled into Parameters.Result.Status
Would you please explain for it ?
thanks,

Hi,
Look at the Sequential Model Sequence File, and either the sequence SinglePass of Test UUTs for the step that invokes the step Post UUT.
Then look at the Parameter List for the SequenceCall for that step. you will find your answer.

Create Index Step taking long time

I have a create index step in process chain for a infocube. The Create Index step is takes more time. The requests in this cube are rolled up and compressed. The batch process are also avaliable. But still the create index step takes more time. Any suggestions to reduce the time of create index step?

Hi,
If you have more Data in Cube then it will take some time..check any Dumps in ST22 and SM21. Ask Basis Team any Error messages in DB02 and check.
Else goto to RSRV
Tests in Transaction RSRV --> Database --> Database Indices of an InfoCube and Its Aggregates
Give Cube name and execute it and see the errors then if any RED color, ckick on Repaire Icon and see.

Create test env from production system

Hi,
Please sorry,
I am new in this area of Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I need help in couple of questions.
We have production system with Oracle Applications 11.5.10, APPS tier on 32bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server, and 10.2.0.3 DB tier on 64bit Red Hat Linux EE 4 server.
We get the 2 new servers for test Oracle Applications 11.5.10 environment with same versions of OS like production.
First test 32bit for APPS,
Second test 64bit for DB tier.
Now we need to create test environment, same like production.
Questions>
1) What is the best way to create same env in this situation (32bit app tier, 64bit database tier). I suppose that cloning using rapid clone procedure isn't possible on this clear machines.
2) If I need to install Oracle Applications 11.5.10 software first on both machines, is it possible to use 32bit rapidwiz installer (existing in stage) to create test db tier on this 64bit node, or not.
I have read in the document Oracle Applications 11.5.10 - Installation Update Notes for Linux x86
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit operating system before installing Oracle Applications.
3) How to now from which stage production is created. When I try to create the stage for my test environment using perl command perl /mnt/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl
I get these options:
1 - to choose Oracle Applications
2 - to choose Oracle Applications with NLS
3 - to choose Oracle Database technology stack (RDBMS)
4 - to choose Oracle Applications database (Databases)
5 - to choose Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
6 - to choose APPL_TOP
7 - to choose National Language Support (NLS) Languages
Because I haven't seen directory oraNLS is this 1 good choose for stage.

How to add a table (dynamic created) into a model attribute

i have dynamically created an internal table. Generally i use model-binding in a stateful MVC-Application.
Is there a possibiltity to transfer the dynamic table to a model. As far as i know generic attributes are not allowed in the modell class.
Every hint welcome
thx in advance

By some miracle I do have this finally working. I will warn you up front that the code is not the cleanest (I have stuff copied in from all over the place. I probably have lots of unused variable references - but I am running out of time to clean it up further). Also I don't have all the logic to support all your different possible dynamic structure types. I always use SFLIGHT as my dyanmic structure. Therefore you will have to adapt the coding to lookup the actual structure type in use.
So I have a model that has an structure ITAB type ref to data. In my Model initialization I go ahead and dynamically redfine this to my specific type:
METHOD init.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM sflight INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF isflight.
DATA: struct_type TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
    tabletype TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr.
struct_type ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'SFLIGHT' ).
CREATE DATA me->itab TYPE HANDLE struct_type.
ENDMETHOD.
Then in my View I have the following:
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<%@extension name="phtmlb" prefix="phtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp" %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page title=" " >
    <htmlb:form>
      <phtmlb:matrix width="100%" >
        <%
field-symbols: <wa> type any.
assign model->itab->* to <wa>.
* append initial line to <wa_itab> assigning <Wa>.
data: descriptor type ref to CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR.
descriptor ?= CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR=>describe_by_data( <wa> ).
data: flddescr type DDFIELDS.
flddescr = descriptor->GET_DDIC_FIELD_LIST( ).
field-symbols: <wa_field> like line of flddescr.
data: label type ref to cl_htmlb_label.
data: input type ref to CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD.
data: binding_string type string.
"Loop through each field in the structure Definition
loop at flddescr assigning <Wa_field>.
clear label.
clear input.
concatenate '//model/itab.'
<wa_field>-FIELDNAME
into binding_string.
label ?= cl_htmlb_label=>factory( _for = binding_string ).
input ?= cl_htmlb_inputfield=>factory( _value = binding_string ).
        %>
        <phtmlb:matrixCell row    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= label %>" />
        <phtmlb:matrixCell col    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= input %>" />
        <%
endloop.
        %>
      </phtmlb:matrix>
     <htmlb:button id="Test" onClick="Test" text="Submit"/>
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
The key to making this work are custom getter/setters. In your model class, you can copy from the template methods (Like GETM_S_XYZ for the metadata structure method). Copy them and remove the _ on the front of the name. Then change XYZ to the name of the attribute you are binding for. The following are my custom methods.
method get_m_s_itab .
* uses ****************************************************************
* data ****************************************************************
* code ****************************************************************
* method is supposed to return either info about a specific component
* of a structure (component is not initial -> return ref to

I know that is a LOT of nasty code without too much explanation. I'm afriad there isn't time right now to expand on how it works too much. Between my day job and trying to finish the BSP book, there just isn't much time left. Like I said before there is a very large section in the book on this topic that hopefully explains it. The book will be out in December or early January - but perhaps I will get some time before then to write up something on SDN about this.

Dynamically create TRAY view element.

I am trying to create a little menu using a stack of trays with related buttons under each tray.
I cannot find an example of a dynamically created tray. Every instance of NEW_TRAY in my NW07 system is generated and the system won't show it to me so I can't see how to use it.
The problem that I get is an assertion failure after a test 'IF VIEW_ELEMENT IS NOT BOUND.' Obviously I have a null reference somewhere, but with no documentation (that I can find) I need an example.
I would settle for any container-like object at all. Doesn't have to be a tray. I cannot even get it to work with a transparent container. You can't even see it - so how can it be complicated?
Please form an orderly line, and no fighting to be first with the solution!
Russ.

Hello Russ,
I have used a container in the message area. Have a look at CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA~CREATE_MSG_LIST for example.

Rainer

Dynamic Dialog Praticipant step

Hello experts,
The OOTB cq comes with a "dialog participant step" and "dynamic participant step". I am looking for "dynamic dialog participant step". Any ideas of how to implement it ?
Rama.

I tried to customize this new component by combining the functionality of Dynamic Participant and Dialog Participant. I was able to customize the dialog (which shows up when I drag and drop the customized dynamic Dialog Participant Step) to refer to a dialog path ( as is OOTB Participant Step) and choose which script to resolve the dynamic participant step. But at the run time had this issue where it was not assigning to the right group though the script returns correct value. I dont see any errors. But the major issue was I could not see the custom dialog. So took a new approch to resolve this.
1. Create a new model
2. Drag and drop the dialog Participant step and DONOT choose the group. Choose title and description, and also choose the custom dialog.
3. Create a new java process step which would assign the a value to the property called PARTIPANT to the next step (combination of workflow transition objects and routes objects) in the workflow ( which in this case the dialog Participant).
4. Code the logic in such a way that it returns the correct user group.
5. Drag and drop a java process step on to the model prioor to the dialog Participant Step and choose the newly created java process.
6. execute the workflow.
7. Once the java process executes it would assign to the right group for the dialog Participant ( which we did not choose while we modelled it - Step 2)
Hope this helps.
Rama.

How to change Id of a dynamically created child element?

Hi,
I would like to change the id of the dynamically created elements in order to work easily with their later. Currently, edge automatically generate an random id like "eid_1376057792551" for each element.
There is my code :
         sym.setVariable("labels", {
                   content2: "Visiteur",
                   content3: "Exposant",
                   content4: "Organisateur",
                   content5: "Contact",
                   content6: "Connexion"
         // Clear initial state
                              sym.getSymbol("tab").deleteSymbol();
                              // Find all large symbols in the library
                              var prefix = "content"; // content1, content2 ... content99
                              var allTabs = [];
                              var symbolDefns = sym.getComposition().symbolDefns;
                              for (var key in symbolDefns) {
                                if (symbolDefns.hasOwnProperty(key) && key.search(new RegExp(prefix+"[0-9]{1,2}"))!=-1 ) {
                                         var tab = sym.createChildSymbol( "tab", "navigation" );
                                         tab.setVariable("contentId", key);
                                         allTabs.push(tab);
                                         tab.$("btnLabel").html( sym.getVariable("labels")[key] || "" );
                                         $tabEl = tab.getSymbolElement();
                                         $tabEl.data("sym", tab);
                                         $tabEl.css({float: "left", margin: "0 -1px 15px 0"});
                                         $tabEl.click(function(evt){
                                                  var tabSym = $(evt.currentTarget).data("sym");
                                                  $.each(allTabs, function(index,item) {
                                                            if (item != tabSym) { item.stop("normal"); item.setVariable("active", false); }
                                                  var $content = sym.$("content").empty();
                                                  sym.createChildSymbol(tabSym.getVariable("contentId"), "content");
Thank you .

hi - trying to get this to work with no luck.
a simple example as i understand it:
var test = sym.createChildSymbol("rect", "Stage");
test.attr("id","test2");
would that work in changing the id of the newly created symbol to test2?
thanks!
