File path of a currently executing teststand test step

How do i extract the file path for the currently executing LabVIEW test step within my operator interface.
Many Thanks,
Dave.

Hi,
I assume you need the SequenceFile Path where the LabView test step is located in TestStand.
To reach to the currently executing step SequenceFile path you have to:
1. get the SequenceContext for the execution
2. get the currently executing step from the SequenceContext (SequenceContext.Step)
3. get the sequence in which the step resides from the Step (Step.Sequence)
4. get the containing sequence file for the Sequence (Sequence.SequenceFile)
5. get the Path from the SequenceFile (SequenceFile.Path property)
In case you want to determine the VI file path for the LabView test step Module one approach is:
1. get the SequenceContext for the execution
2. get the currently executing step from the SequenceContext (SequenceContext.Step)
3. get the PropertyObject for the step (Step.AsPropertyObject)
4. get the VI relative path from the step subproperty using "TS.SData.ViCall.VIPath" lookup string (PropObject.GetValString)
5. now use the Engine.FindFile on the retrieved path at the step 4. above, to get the path to the executing VI
Hope this helps,

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

Okay, So What you can do is
1. Read get the version from your database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

Getting the absolute path of the current executing file

I have a file which will be placed in window and linux environment. It is not good to change the source code in that way:
String path = "D:\\java\file1.txt"; (Window)
String path = "/java/file1.txt"; (Linux)
So I would like to ask how to get the absolute path based on that executing file?
I referred to the reference in jsp, but I don't know what class and the coding syntax in console environment.
Thx for any help.

If you are looking to "get" a file that is located in a directory with (or somewhere under) the class file than use
myClass.getClass().getResource(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //URL
myClass.getClass().getResourceAsStream(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //InputStreamAs far as determining which Operating System you are on, there are a number of environment variables that will tell you that, and you can then format your file path accordingly.
You can use "/" in your path regardless of which OS you are using. You do not have to use "\\" on Windows (excpet maybe inside of a Runtime.exec command string).
Here is a very small program you can compile and run if you wish to see the list of System Properties available:
public class ShowProperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}Just save that to a file (named ShowProperties.java of course) and compile and run it, and you will get a list of your available System Properties and their current values

Why is adobe indesign cs6 saving my file in the previous file path rather than current folder path?

I've just updated to CS6 and when I go to 'save as' Indesign file it opens (auto remembers) the wrong folder/location. Can I make it remember the right folder to save to?

Are you converting old files (better to do that by exporting theoriginals to .inx/.idml from the original application, by the way)? ID treats conversions as new files, and all file operations on new files default to the last folder where that operation was executed. Once saved, though, it will default to the folder where the file is saved.

Getting Report File Path location at execution in TestStand 2012 and later

I need to include PNG pictures into my TestStand Report (HTML, XML, ATML).
When report generation was made through plugins (before TestStand 2012), it was easy to get report file location during execution through variable RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath in order to save PNG files near the report file (in same directory).
I didn't find yet an easy an simple way to do the same in TestStand 2012 with Result Processing Plugins.
Any idea ?
Remarks :
Since this functionnality has to be included within MESULOG TS+ last version which is a TestStand Add-on, I cannot modify Report Options, Process Model or include a callback (like GetReportFilePath.
In need ReportFilePath within a Custom Step Type which cannot wait for PostUUT or ReportGeneration to save its PNG files.

jiggawax,
Thank you for you quick answer.
RunState.Root.Locals.ModelPluginConfiguration.Plugins[<plugin index>].PluginSpecific.Options.Directory is valid only if
RunState.Root.Locals.ModelPluginConfiguration.Plugins[<plugin index>].PluginSpecific.Options.DirectoryType is set to "SpecificDirectory".
It seems that I cannot get the complete ReportFilePath before "UUT Done" plugin entry which is after MainSequence execution.

Why is adobe indesign CC saving my file in the previous file path rather than current folder path?

I've just updated to CC and when I go to 'save as' Indesign file it opens (auto remembers) the wrong folder/location. Can I make it remember the right folder to save to?

This is as designed. I’m assuming that you are opening a file that was created in an older version. Once you save it as a CC file, a save as will go back to the folder it was saved in.

Teststand 1.03 - How can I get the sequence file path into an expression?

The sequence file will be located at different locations on different computers. I need the base address of the sequence file to get to the correct limits file. How can I get the sequence file path into a string-local expression.
Thanks

As Ray described, the FindFile expression function and TS API method will seach all TS search directories and return to you the path of your file, assuming the file is located in the search directories.
If you just want the path of a TS file that you have a reference to then there is a faster, easier method. You can use the Path property of the PropertyObjectFile class. In the attached example I use an AcitiveX Automation adapter step to call Path on the property RunState.SequenceFile. This returns the path to the current executing sequence file. Note that if you have not yet saved the sequence file then the path will be empty. In a subsequence step I strip off the file name leaving the root path of the file.

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,

Formatting OLE object to variable file paths.

I am currently using the trial version (2008) of Crystal Reports...at least for the next 7 1/2 days! I have worked through all my problems/questions except one. I am trying to insert a SolidWorks drawing document as an OLE object (linked) & the file path for the SW drawing needs to vary by the part name. I placed a column in my Excel worksheet titled "Drawing File" & have tried several different formats to point the OLE to the correct file. Thus far I am successful only in showing the original file the OLE object was created with. The file path is Z:
Jesse\Crystal Reports Tests\9-15-2009\FILENAME.slddrw
I've tried adding hyperlinks to my Excel document, & I've typed out the address to the letter, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone offer a solution here?

I got the format right from the start. Crystal '08 simply would not link to a SolidWorks file as it will a JPEG file (or any other picture file). So be warned...if you want a SolidWorks drawing to show on your Crystal Report, you MUST save it as a picture file, which as SolidWorks users know, puts EXTREME limitations on a super product since your drawings & models are dynamically related.

File path of open data storage

Hello all!
Now I'm using the blocks of open data storage, write data and close data storage for storing and extracting result data. For the file path issue, before I
set the data path by double clicking the "open data storage" block and inserting the file location in the indicated place, and that worked!
Now since I made a stand alone application of this program and shall use it in other computers, the file location I inserted in open data storage block isn't
valid any more in other PCs. So I modified my source code by connecting a "current vi path" to the open data storage block's file path node instead of
inserting it inside the block, and this doesn't work! During running there shows an error in the write data block saying that the storage refnum isn't valid!
I'm wondering why I couldn't specify the file path like this. Any way to allow me to specify the file path as the current vi path?
Thanks!

You need to account for the path changes when built in to an application, have a look at this example.

A column in a table has physical file path (I want to get file size of those docs from the OS)

Experts!!
I have a table that holds the physical file path of files in one of its columns. It does not give a link, just the physical file path.
For example,---- C:\bu\test.pdf and let us say the file size is kb according to the OS.
Is there any way I can obtain the file size of the files from the physical path?
for example, the file size of the test.pdf file in the example here using t-SQL?
Much Appreciation

Hey there... thanks for the response......I found the following as a solution for my problem. But my problem is the SP created using the method needs a directory as a parameter. How can I pass the directory from a table that holds my directory?

Aperture using 3 week old file paths for referenced files after Rebuild

I recently had major problems with some Nikon D60 files (the referenced files switched original files). I had to re-import everything a start again. Having sorted everything out, I then relocated the files with new files names (thinking that the original file names may have caused the problems).
This was 3 weeks ago. However, when I Rebuilt the library today, these renamed images went offline because Aperture has kept the original file paths (with the original names).
Does anyone know how to update file paths to the current ones? (rather than some random previous one).

Thanks for the reply. I will check out the links.
I should have mentioned that all renaming/moving of files was done from within Aperture. Aperture is not updating its own file paths.
The process is this. Having moved/renamed the images (using Aperture's Relocate Masters) I am able to use the software, close it down, restart etc and the images will be found correctly with few/no 'lost' images. It is when I use 'Rebuild' that the file paths revert to an old, previously used version that is no longer valid. It is as though there are two preference files, each with a different file path information. There was a post sometime ago that mentioned using Terminal commands to force Aperture to update to the correct files paths/directories. I haven't been able to find the post yet though.
These particular files (Nikon D60) are not from my own camera so I am not sure why I have had such an issue. Normally I am using a Canon 5D MK2 or a Phaseone digital back. However, even with my own equipment I do regularly have to 'Reconnect' one or two image files that have become lost which is annoying. So I am keen to get to the bottom of this issue.

SSIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid

SIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid
Relatively simple package to get OLE-DB connection to MS FoxPro 9.0 DB
The failure in the job log states that the path is invalid its a network path (\\192.168.1.xxx\foldername) this has been run several ways with the remote computer being mapped as a network drive and through the \\ notation described above.
Thinking it was a security issue between the SQL agent account and my account I tested by subsitution myself as a proxy account for the agent when running this job, again same result failed on network path.
One issue I see is that the remote computer is running Server 2000 (legacy software incompatable with newer versions)
Is it possible that this is a security issue, since if i understand correctly the current MS domain security model didn't exist until Server 2003.

Hi REIData,
Have you got the issue resolved? Based on your description, please make sure the target folder is shared properly. If the computer on which the SQL Server Agent job runs doesn’t join the domain as the server that hosts the shared folder, you have to share
the folder with everyone by adding “Everyone” to the people list on the File Sharing page of the folder and assign "Read/Write" permission to it.
