Find All Instances Scripting

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to programatically use the Find All Instances function with scripting?  At the moment my work around is very slow but works.  
I have a reference to a VI and I have my project open, I then want to find all the places that this VI is used.  At the moment I get all VIs in Memory (Application >> All VIs in Memory), then for each VI I get all SubVIs on the block diagram (Traverse References).  Then for each subVI in each VI in memory, I get the path to the VI and compare it to the path of the VI I want to find.
As one can imagine this takes too long.  Especially when I can right click my VI's Icon and say Find all Instances and get all 6 instances seemingly instantly.  I searched for a while and couldn't figure out if this was possible or how to do it.  Thanks.
Attached is my attempt, which just counts the number of times the search VI is called.

Well that was easy, not sure why I didn't think of that.  In any case I made a new VI that does what you mention and it indeed works much faster.  Attached is the improved version in case someone was interested.

  • Edit find/change (not finding all instances)

    I am using Edit>Find/Change to change a brand name in a document — however, this feature is not finding ALL instances of the brand name. I am having to manually/visually edit through the entire doc. Suggestions?

    Hi,
    You could check whether "Case sensitive" is switched on in your find/change dialog. Also check that your find format options are cleared. Click the "More Options" button if the find format options are not showing in the dialog.

  • Find all instance of sub sequence

    Hi,
    I am using TestStand 3.5
    I have created one sub sequence. I am calling this sub sequence at various places in my Seqence file. I found that the parameter value I am passing is wrong. I want to change it. Is there any way by which I can find out all the calling place of this sub sequence? How? (e.g. in LabVIEW we have Find all instances).
    br,
    LabVIEW_Vish

    Hey LabVIEW_Vish,
    The best I got for you is to hit Ctrl-F and check Limit Search to:  Then you can choose All Sequences.  When you do your search you'll see a list of all the places where your search word exists.  Then you can double click on any element in the list and it will take you to that instance.   Your search window should stay open so you can go back to it Window>>Find 'keyword" in: etc..
    Hope that helps some,

  • How can i find all instances of my device?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could tell me I can find all the instances of an ethernet card from a C program. At the moment I use a brute force approach, checking for each physical point of attachment by opening the driver /dev/mydriver and doing a putmsg DL_ATTACH_REQ with ppa= 0,1,2,etc., and checking to see if I get a DL_OK_ACK back.
    Is there any more intelligent way to find this out?
    Thanks in advance,
    S.

    Hi,
    #include <sys/ddi.h>
    #include <sys/sunddi.h>
    int ddi_get_instance(dev_info_t *dip);
    ddi_get_instance() returns the instance number of the device corresponding to dip.
    The system assigns an instance number to every device. Instance numbers for devices attached to the same driver are unique. This provides a way for the system and the driver to uniquely identify one or more devices of the same type. The instance number is derived by the system from different properties for different device types in an implementation specific manner.
    Once an instance number has been assigned to a device, it will remain the same even across reconfigurations and reboots. Therefore, instance numbers seen by a driver may not appear to be in consecutive order. For example, if dev-ice foo0 has been assigned an instance number of 0 and dev-ice foo1 has been assigned an instance number of 1, if
    foo0 is removed, foo1 will continue to be associated with instance number 1 (even though foo1 is now the only device of its type on the system).
    Refer more information man ddi_get_instance()

  • Find all instances in footage

    Is  there a way you can search for an instance of something in footage?  We  have footage of a photoshoot that I'm trying sync with the acutaly  stills.  I was hoping to figure out a quick way to place a marker on the  timeline for every strobe/flash.
    thanks
    shawn

    There's a script called "Magnum: the Edit Detector" (listed on this page) that will place a marker at every place where it detects an edit. The way that it works is that it looks for any abrupt change in the scene and places a marker there; it uses a frame-by-frame comparison to find these abrupt changes. I think that a flash might be enough to trigger the detection of such a change, if you have the sensitivity settings cranked way up. Even if Magnum doesn't work for you as-is, it gives an idea of the direction that you can go to do something similar---or even what script author you could contact.
    The expression method underlying Magnum's functionality is the sampleImage method.

  • QUESTION: How can I locate all instances of a field in mult tables

    Hi all.
    So im just learning Oracle and I have an interesting question.
    I just learned how you can query things from multiple tables by using the tablename.fieldname in the select.
    My question is this. Lets say you have, oh, 100 tables and you have referenced a field like IDNUMBER in ten of the tables.
    Now I want to write a query to pull the ID number from those tables but I dont remember every table I used it in.
    How can you easilly find all instances of where a field is used in multiple tables? Im hoping I explained this right.

    AWESOME!! THANKS!!You should be aware that this solution only works to the degree that columns are consistently named.

        );So, how do you catch that supplier.supplier_id is the same as purchase_order_hdr.supplier_number or purchase_order_line.po_number is the same as purchase_order_hdr.purchase_order_id?
    No, I don't have a solution, just pointing out that you may not be able to depend on a fully automated solution either. It depend on how rigorous your organization is about enforcing naming standards.

  • How can I find the instances of a subvi programmat​ically

    When one subvi appears for several times in the blockdiagramm, who can I get a ID number for every instance of the subvi?
    When I right-click on the subvi -> "Find all instances" then I get how often the subvi appears on the blockdiagramm but i need the information programmatically.
    Thanks for helping!

    LabVIEW won't let you save "DAsst_mxwScript_Get SubVI Refnums.vi" for a previous version of LabVIEW since its a "toolkit vi" if you try to do this with the "Save with Options" feature. However, LabVIEW *will* let you invoke the "Save for Previous" VI server method on toolkit VIs :-)
    Attached are the VIs saved in LV 6.1

  • Where do I find the Instance Name for EPM Batch Script Utility?

    I am trying to find the Instance Name for the EPM Batch Script Utility. I have done the obvious...looked at the Deploy settings in EPM, but the Instance field is not even listed. I have tried 'Default', 'localhost', 'Planning', 'epmsystem1' and " " (nothing).
    Anyone know where I can look? The script will not deploy without this option (I have tried removing the field altogether). This is the error I am getting:
    2012-12-05 03:02:21,908 INFO Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, datasourceName, waitForCompletion, deployOption, RefreshOutline, CreateSecurityFilters)

    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I referred Andy's suggestion to set both App Server name and instance name as PLANNING_LWA.
    It worked in Planning 11.1.2.3
    My deploy string set as followed:
    set bpmaserverurl=http://localhost/hyperion-bpma-server;
    set workspaceurl=http://localhost:9000/workspace;
    login;
    Execute Deploy
    Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, ClearAll, CheckIntegrity, waitforcompletion, purgeTransactions,  deployOption,  datasourceName,CreateOutline,RefreshOutline,CreateSecurityFilters,SharedMembersSecurityFilters,ValidateSecurityFilterLimit,Notes)
    Values ('HRPLN1', 'PLANNING_LWA', 'PLANNING_LWA', 'Planning', 'false', 'false', 'true', 'true', 'AppView','HRPLN_DS','false','true','false','false','false','HRPLN1 redeploy by batch client');

  • Script to find all mailboxes a user can access

    I am looking for a script to find all mailboxes to which one user has access to. I have used:

    The problem is the amount of data. Is there a way to do this by database, by servers, skimmed down, etc?
    Thanks

  • Apple script to find all duplicate files

    Is it possible to write an applescript to find all duplicate file names on my hard drive? My hd is almost full, and if I can delete duplicate files, it'll save me from having to buy another external drive.
    Thanks,
    George

    Why would you have found 20GB of duplicate images?  iPhoto has built-in duplicate detection, it can remove any duplicates or prevent them from being imported altogether.  Did you disable this in iPhoto for some reason?  Or were you still using folders and subfolders to store your photos?
    Just because two pictures have the exact same filename does NOT mean they are identical.  If this application you used simply compared their filenames, it's possible you actually lost all those photos and not just some duplicates.  ;(  Because many cameras reuse filenames after a certain point! 

  • Finding all the running instances of JVM

    We have to write a tool to upgrade an existing installation of our Java based application. For that we need to determine whether our java application is running.
    1. One way which I don't find that clean is listing all the processes on the machine and then find my application.
    2. Other option is using jps, but it is part of JDK and not jre, so that rules it out.
    Does java provide anything inbuilt to find all the running jvm on the host(something like jps)
    Thanks,

  • Find all system and object privs granted to a user

    I need a query to find out all sys and ibject qyery given to a user. This is because a user was able to query all_directories few days ago in production instance, now he is unable to do it.
    I found a query to find all roles inside a role. This role "APPS_QUERY_ROLE" has another 25 roles inside it. I want a query which will drill down to each role and "role within a role" to find all privileges associated to a role and hence to the user.

    This may be helpful to you :
    SYS@orcl> select 'create role ' || role || ';'
      2  from dba_roles
      3  where role = '&&role';
    Enter value for role: APPS_QUERY_ROLE      <------Make sure it should be in CAPS

  • Call all instances of a symbol

    Hej,
    i need to place 10 different kinds of symbols, a hundred times each on my stage. Theses symbols have the same shape, but different colors. I need to filter them out in a tiny top-menu.
    So, if i click e.g. on a red circle, i want all non red symbols to set there opacity to 0.5.
    It could be simple if i place all red symbols into a container "$color-symbols" and set the opacity to them. But that is not possible, because I need to place each symbol manually. And if they are childs of another symbol, drag and drop is horrible.
    Now i am wondering if it is possible to call all symbols on stage that are instances of a symbol in my library.
    And is there a nice way to call "all-other-colors" instead of
    sym.$("color-1").animate({opacity:0.5},500);
    sym.$("color-9").animate({opacity:0.5},500);
    sym.$("my-own-color").animate({opacity:1},500);
    on every button on stage?

    Thanks for your help,
    i use the classes to specify a target url for each symbol.
    For Example:
    I have three red symbols and three blue symbols.
    The classes for the red-ones are:
    33451, 56789 and 45678
    for the blue ones:
    983, 4, 1002
    Inside of my symbols i have a script:
    var names = (e.target.id).split("_");
    var page = names[2];
    var link = "http://www.url.no/subpage/"+page;
    window.open(link, "_self");
    If i find another way to put a specific ID (and it must be a number) on to each Instance, i could use the way you describe.
    Because your idea is to use the class-names, there is no way to call all instances of a given symbol?
    Is it possible to use wildcards for my array?
    So i could name them "red-33451#1", "red-56789#2", "red-45678#3". And cut out everything between "-" and "#".
    But remember that i need to place a few hundreds of them, which isn't fun. And if i need to insert one later or if i delete another one, i need to verify all my functions.

  • How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Is there a way to delete all instead of one at a time?

    How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Can they be deleted all at once instead of one song at a time?

    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
    Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.
