File as a parameter in teststand

Hello,
how can I give an action (LabView adapter) a file as parameter.
I have a VI which needs a path (a text file to parse)
I can change this to string.
a) But how can I give TestStand this file as parameter and
b) when this is possible, is it also possible when the source is a networkshare?
thx

The basic way is to use a string in TestStand.
It doesn't matter if it is a network shared file. As long as you can open the file, LabVIEW will be able to do the same.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Doubt in locating a file in context parameter

I have got a file named mylibrary.txt in WEB-INF/data directory.
I wish to map the file in context Parameter.
While trying this,
<context-param>
     <param-name>library-file</param-name>
     <param-value>/WEB-INF/data/my-library.txt</param-value>

A better alternative would be to avoid using SQL*Loader and instead use External Tables for which you can use an ALTER TABLE statement to change the LOCATION of the table (which details the filename). (A valid reason for using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in PL/SQL). That way you keep all your control inside the database and you're not messing about with o/s scripts to pass different parameters to an external program.

How to pass file name as parameter into url: or fo:external-graphic src

Hello gurus,
In my rtf I want to dynamically get the name of the image file and display the image in the report. If use hard coded image file name it works but if I try to get the name into a variable and pass that variable it is not working.
Basically my client is having different logos for each operating unit. in the OA_MEDIA directory there are separate logos for each OU. during run time based on OU name we need to display the corresponding image. If I can get this entire path($OA_MEDIA/logo.jpg') in XML field<?CF_OU_LOGO?> then I'm able to print the logo using url:{CF_OU_LOGO}
But I'm using seeded data source and I cant modify the data source, I need to handle this in RTF only. I could able to get the file name into a variable but not sure how to pass to url.
could some one help me on this. I tried the following options
<fo:external-graphic src="url($ln)" />
url:{$ln} in web etc...
here 'ln' is the variable which holds '$OA_MEDIA/logo.jpg'. ln is defined as <xsl:variable name="ln" select=".//CF_OPERATING_UNIT" />
later I set the values as <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'ln',translate( concat('${OA_MEDIA}/','Logo',.//CF_OPERATING_UNIT,'.jpg'),' ',''))?><?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'ln')?>
thanks,
Vijay

What version of EBS is the customer running? I read somewhere that in R12 all of the concurrent parameters are passed to the XMLP template. I have not tried this but if true. You could create a conc program parameter that would hold the location of the image. You could either have the user pick the image or maybe derive it from the other parameter choices.
Lets assume the token name is DLOGO you can reference that in your template.
<?param:DLOGO?>
this needs to be at the top of the template. Then where you need to embed the image just reference the value using
$DLOGO
You can embed this in the external graphic field
As I mentioned I have not tested it yet, hopefully its there, if not there are ways around it. Try it first.

Sender file adapter missingLastFields Parameter

hi all,
i have a wierd problem...
i use a sender file adapter with content conversion to read the data of a file.
all is fine until he get to a record when the last couple of fields are not in the file (and it's ok that they don't appear). i want the adapter to put no data in the last couple of fields but convert them to the XML tags.
i am using the parameters: missingLastFields and keepIncompleteFields to keep the fields although they don't appear in the file.
the parameters i am using are these:
SA140.fieldNames:
ActionCode,UpdateType,IDNumber,Filler1,RecordCode,Filler2,ExteriorColour1,Filler3,ExteriorColour2,Filler4,ExteriorColour3,Filler5,ExteriorColour4,Filler6,ExteriorColour5,Filler7,ColourArea1,Filler8,ColourArea2,Filler9,ColourArea3,Filler10,ColourArea4,Filler11,ColourArea5,Filler12,TireCode1,Filler13,TireCode2,Filler14,TireCode3,Filler15,TireCode4,Filler16,TireCode5
SA140.fieldFixedLengths:
2,2,10,4,3,41,5,1,5,1,5,1,5,1,5,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,6,10,6,10,6,10,6,10,6
SA140.keyFieldValue:
140
SA140.missingLastFields:
Ignore (i used the parameter "add" too and it still didn't work)
SA140.keepIncompleteFieids
true
the row i am trying to read is:
024018837002186 21140 1799 KW16 RW17 1010 9147 F18L19 7503 F18L19 7502 F18K27 7508
as you see a couple of the last fields are showing in the text.
could you please tell what am i doing wrong?
maybe there is another parameter i missed?
regards,
roi grosfeld

sorry but it still doesn't work...
i am getting the same error:
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 5 according to structure 'SA140':java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: last field in structure 'SA140.' is incomplete - specify 'keepIncompleteFields' parameter accordingly to allow this

File Adapter--Processing parameter configuration

Hi Experts,
I need to configured the sender and reciever FTP Adapter to Archive a 37 MB text file within a FTP server.
It is taking 20 min to archive the file.
does this requirement requires any change in Parameter configuration(like transfer mode, channel availabilty planning( i am using daily with duration 30 min) to make it fast.
Thank you,
MK

Hi Experts,
To archive huge files using FTP adapter, i looked at the Michal weblog to zip the file :
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
please explain how and where to write the below file
@ECHO OFF
7za.exe a -tzip D:\file_cat\%2.zip %1
del %1
and also explain
Zipping a file can also be done with jar.
For example,
jar cvf m.zip m.txt
will zip m.txt into m.zip
No need for any other software as jar is highly likely to be on the XI/PI server...
and how to implement it in the FTP adapter configuration.
Thanks in Advance.

Report file name as parameter

There's probably a simple answer to this but I can't figure it out...
I have made a jsp-page to view my report using CR4E's Create Viewer JSP wizard. Instead of hard-coded report file name, I'm taking the name from URL parameter like this
myviewer.jsp?report=myreport.rpt
The report shows fine until I click any of the controls (next page, print, export, etc.) in HTML-viewer. This seems to run some javascript code that calls the myviewer.jsp again, but loses all URL parameters! How can I preserve those parameters?

Page navigation with the viewer works by post-back to the page where you've defined the viewer - the viewer interprets the postback GET parameters for the action required.
This means that the ReportSource must be available for every postback - usually, it's stored in HTTP Session.
Check out the following sample codes:

Passing a property file as a parameter to imqdbmgr

I would like to add the tables to the database during boot of a server since I use an EC2 instance. In this scenario, I need to replace the OpenMQ configuration file (config.properties) used under the glassfish domain which is generated when the domain is generated.
This configuration file would have been good to supply as an argument to the imqdbmgr create tbl command. According to the documentation this isn't possible, but I really consider that a necessity for such a command. I know that I can use -D options, but I would really like to add a property file instead of adding a lot of -D options.
Any views or comments? Should this be added as a feature request or is this already supported?

For your parameter, it would be something simple like
i_xml IN CLOByou could also accept an XMLType.
You can find some parsing examples against XMLType data in {thread:id=992813}. If you are putting the data into the DB, lean towards using the SQL with XMLTable. If you need it in PL/SQL code, lean towards the XMLType parsing.

File adapter - fieldSeparator parameter

Hello everyone!
I've configured an FTP sender adapter that picks up CSV files. The fields in the file are separated by a spaces, eg. <b>DTL 1 14800575110370 12 0000003</b>
What do I indicate in the "fieldSeparator" parameter of the Content Conversion to indicate that the fields are separated by a 'space'?
Warm regards,
Glenn

Hi,
The Hexadesimal notation for space is '0X20' and fro TAB separator is '0X09'.
