Finding the name of my teststand sequence in the process model

I would like to be able to find the file path and name of a teststand sequence in the process model. I have created a simple vi which will display this information when run in a sequence. If i insert the vi into the process model, the file path and name returned is that of the process model and not the sequence under exectution. Is there a way of extracting this information in the process model?

Davepar -
If you are executing in the process model you can use the following as a lookup string if you are in the root context "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Path" or "RunState.Root.RunState.ProcessModelClient.Path" if you are not in the root context.

How to find the process running for a specific cube on WINDOWS?

Hi,
how do we find the process of a cube and kill it if the server is a win 2003 server...
when i go to the task manaer and search I only see then as esssvr ? but how do I match them to the specif cubes??
in UNIX we can see them clearly as they have the cube name along with the pid and evertything else...
please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

you actually have to go into the Essbase server log. When the application starts its pid is put in the log. I don't remember the mesage number, but it's in the log somewhere around a message started. Make sure you get the last started pid for an application. since the log can be for a long period, the application could have started multiple times

How to load the sequence file from the process model?

Does anyone have an example process model that loads a sequence file? The out-of-the-box process models assume the sequence file is already loaded. I want the process model to identify the UUT type and load the appropriate sequence file based on that.

Mark,
A better solution to your question can be accomplised if you have TestStand 2.0.
Within the entry point of a process modle you can set the client sequence using Execution.ClientFile(). This is a new method of TestStand 2.0. It was specifically designed so that you could dynamically set the client sequence within the process model.
Currently the entry points in the default process models (i.e. Test UUTs and Single Pass) are configured to Show Entry Point When Client File Window is Active. This means that you must open and have active a client sequence file before you can execute one of the entry point. You probably do not want this implementation if you are going to set the client file during the entry point execution. To change this you will need to go the sequence properties of your entry point (while the sequence is open select Edit>>Sequence Properties), switch to the Model tab of the entry point's property dialog box, and enable Show Entry Point For All Windows. The entry point will then appear whether or not you have an open sequence file active.
You will need to add at least 3 steps to your entry point sequence that all use the ActiveX Automation Adapter. Remember that MUST disable Record Results for any step you add to the process model. The 3 steps will perform the following tasks:
1) Obtains a sequence file reference of the file that you want to be the client sequence file. You will need to use the Engine.GetSequenceFileEx method. You will need a local variable (ActiveX data type) in which to store the sequence file reference.
2) Set the client sequence file using the Execution.ClientFile property.
3) Close the reference to the client sequence file in the Cleanup step group of your entry point sequence using Engine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx
I am attaching a SequenceModel.seq file (the default process model in TestStand 2.0) in which we have modified the TestUUTs entry point as described above.
Note that you'll be prompted to enter the path to your client sequence file. This is a message popup that you can delete and it was added for your review only.
Good luck in your project,

To find the processing Func. module

hi,
can anyone tell me how to find the processing Func. module(outbound) if i know the message type, basic type and extension.
i tried with we57 but coudnt find the one(outbound) needed.

Hi Pawan,
From the link
http://www.intelligententerprise.com/channels/applications/feature/archive/kasturi.jhtml
For more inf. you can check this link.
From WEDI got to Control -> Inbound process codes -> Inbound with ALE service -> Processing by function module (transaction WE42), or from WEDI go to Control -> Outbound process codes -> Outbound with ALE service -> With function module (transaction WE41). There will be function modules associated with the process codes. For inbound, the function modules usually follow this pattern: IDOC_INPUT_messagetype: for example, IDOC_INPUT_CHRMAS for inbound characteristics master.
*Use transaction WE57 or from WEDI go to Development -> Message/Application Object. The entries list the function module, Business Object, message type, and IDOC type that are used for inbound ALE/EDI interfaces.
Hope you will clear now, if yes please close this thread with rewarding appropriate points to the helpful answers.
Cheers

"-2147417851" during "Get Database Options" of the process model

Hi guys, I am trying to find the cause for this error message, would greatly appreciate if someone can advise me on what can cause this.
The exact step where this error occured is shown in the screenshot attached.
Also, the only thing that I know about this step is it "read database options" from a location on disk.
Does anyone know what file it reads from, and perhaps, which part of the file?
Cheers!!

Simon -
The "Read Database Option - Read Options" step calls the ReadDatabaseOptions method which takes two parameters (Parameters.DatabaseOptions and Parameters.CfgDir).
Parameters.CfgDir is simply a string. But you'll notice that Parameters.DatabaseOptions is a container (named type: DatabaseOptions). Most likely what is happening here is that by using the TestStand 2.0.1 process model, you've carried over the old DatabaseOptions type definition and are now passing it to the new TestStand Database Logging server's ReadDatabaseOptions method, which expects the DatabaseOptions container to have a boolean field called UseTransactionProcessing.
I recommend upgrading the DatabaseOptions type to the TestStand 2010 SP1 version. More so, I recommend porting your TestStand 2.0.1 process model customizations to the TestStand 2010 SP1 process model to ensure you avoid encountering other situations similar to this.
Hope this helps!

Implementing interrupt-like funtionality in the process model

My application requires testing high-power semiconductor devices. These devices are water-cooled to keep from exceeding operational temperatures. I am considering developing my process model to handle the water-cooling which entails monitoring water flow, temperature, and pressure and, if any of these parameters leaves an acceptable range, throw an error the test sequence.
I know that TS can run a sequence in the process model after each step in the sequence file but I don't think that it will be acceptable if my step is longer than it takes for a fault condition to be generated. For that reason, I am trying to understand if there is a means to terminate the test sequence if any fault in the process model occurs.
What is the best way to implement this kind of behavior?

Hi kc64,
You are right, editing the process model to check the current state your system after each step would not be the best approach.
I would recommend running a separate sequence in a new thread within your execution. This standalone thread would check the state of your system and throw the error you desire upon your system going out of desirable ranges. This will run concurrently during your entire test.
I hope this helps!

How to find the process responsible for deleting files

Hi,
We have a process which stores a file in a particular location say /tmp/mydir/. The files getting stored in this directory are getting deleted. Is there any way to find which process is responsible for deleting the file. Is there any way we can truss on the directory/file and check which process accessed it or deleted it.

solquestions wrote:
I tried: dtrace -n syscall::unlink:entryThat one looks good to me.
While it picks up the unlinking(I tested by doing a rm of some files), I could not get the pid of the process doing such rm.....(or maybe the process exited...)You haven't asked it to print that information. Try:
dtrace -n 'syscall::unlink:entry {trace(pid);trace(execname)}'
I'd like to see the process/adpp/program, calling a particular system call....unlink, close, open etc etc...The above should do that.
I wonder if dtrace can capture both library calls and system calls......Dtrace doesn't capture so much as it fires on probes. But yes, both libraries and system calls can have probes available.
It seems functionality for capturing system calls from a process are more documrnte, and with examples, than, those asking for finding which system calls get opened by whom....
I think all you're missing is adding some information to the trace output.
Is getting unlink enough to find "what is removing files?"You might want to check rename as well.
How do I drrace for "anything that touched taht file" or, "anything that touches files in a directory"That's actually a somewhat difficult task for dtrace. First, you might download the "Dtrace toolkit". One of the tools in there is "opensnoop". It reports on file opens and you can examine the script to see how it does it. You can even give a filename and it only reports when that filename is accessed.
But the main problem is that files can have many names, and dtrace is just looking at the name in many cases. So "/etc/passwd" can be called "/etc/passwd", or if you're in /usr it could be called "../etc/passwd", or any of a variety of names. It's not too hard to set a probe predicate to fire only on a pattern match, so you could set it to only fire when the filename is matched.
Good luck, and see if any of the existing tools in the toolkit are close enough that you can use them directly or modify them slightly.

I can't get my Epson Stylus SX438W to work. Has anyone had trouble finding the correct model when installing the driver?

I am having trouble completing the installation of my new Epson Stylus SX438W Wi-Fi printer. The printer is connected to my network and so is my Mac. I have put the Epson software disc in the Mac and followed the procedure to installing everything that is needed. I am stuck at a point that Epson have not been able to help with, and as advised to ask my router provider whether it does MAC filtering. It does not apparently. Then i have been advised to contact Apple. So that's where i am. The problem is that at the point where i have to add the printer to the printer list the correct model does not show in the provided list, so i hit the "more printers" tab. Not in here either. Epson have guided me through the installation of the latest driver and the prinnter still, does not show up in any lists. We have tried setting it up manually (i believe!, i am far, far from really knowing at all what i am doing). When trying to print a document from Microsoft word all that comes out is jargon on the sheets. Obviously not what i am after. I realise my description may be very unhelpful to you but i am REALLY stuck i don't know what to do now. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. i have attached an image of the screen i have got to if that is of any help and i can get more screen shots etc. if anyone needs them!

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

How can i find the laptop model

i can not identify my laptop, i need to download drivers from hp.com i have downloaded the hp lan,wifi drivers i have searched a lot but could not find any drivers i have searched on hp.com by the auto detect of the product but it can not detect my laptop its a g6 pavilion it shows a lot of model numbers list when i go to the web site and i dont know what is my laptops number because its different from the number which is shown by hp assistance software.

Hi: I have already provided a link for how to find the product number. The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number. Post the product number and I will post the link to the support page for your model.

Made a DVD fine, but can't find the processed iMovie

Hi,
I just processed a good-looking 20 minute iMovie. And the DVD looks really good.
But where is the processed iMovie, that showed up in iDVD as "large.m4v? Hmm. Is it gone, because I now have the dvdproject, and I don't need it anymore? Am I getting upset over nothing? I suppose that's it.
Anyone who reads this, the combination of a Sony HDR-CX12 consumer Hi-Def camcorder, iMovie, and "large" processing with I think any of the 3 quality choices in iDVD preferences, makes for some great-looking video on an HDTV.

If you Shared to iDVD, the resulting file is a very large temporary file that goes away after you have finished with iDVD. You might find it in your trash.
If you shared to the Media Browser, you can find your Large file in the Project file. Go to Movies/iMovie Projects and locate your project. Right click on the project and select "Show Package Contents". The Project folder will now be visible and your movie will be stored in the Movies folder. This copy is available when you use the Media Browser in any iLife app.
If you shared to iTunes, your movie will be in iTunes and the Project file.

Finding the forecasting model selected by Model 56

Hi,
If I use statistical model 56 and run statistical forecasting, how do I know strategy 56 is finally selecting? I see the errors and the parameters when I click the "forecast comparison" icon. But I wan to know which model the system finally selected? Is there any tale that tells me that?
How do I do the assignment of forecasting model to a selection id and forecast and see the results in the background? ANy tables, programs???
Thanks.

Hi Sinivas,
Thanks for the reply. But I am asking is to see what model 56 finally decides to go with? I mean trend or seasonal or....how can I know that the automatic model has selected a particular model after testing for all the models.
Hope this is clear.

Running a sequence with 2 process models

Hi,
We intend to use 2 different process models, running the same MainSequence. The reason for the difference in process models is there is large difference in hardware on the stations. So we need to account for that difference in our mainsequence as well, where we do certain actions when using one process model, and a different action on another.
My question is, what is the preferred property to look at in memory (runstate tree somewhere?) for the MainSequence to have knowledge of what process model it is currently running, so we can add cases in our MainSequence to differentiate actions.
Thanks
Solved!

James' approach is better....
Because then you don't have to worry about if your root is correct.

I want to sell my MacBook Pro-How do I find the exact model number?

It's late 2011 i7 15 inch and the specs I pull up show 2.4GHz MacBook Pro (MD322LL/A)
Except that i'ts when I click About this Mac it shows:
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Serial Number C0**********W47
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
It also gives this info:
Processor and memory
2.2GHz or 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6MB shared L3 cache; or optional 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache and I know it's this and 750 GB SATA Disk
4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB
Basically, I'm wanting to sell it because I just don't need such an expensive Mac and I hardly ever use it. I bought it new in September 2012 and it's in mint condition. Since it was a model year behind, I only paid $1899.
I have the box but I'm out of town so I was just hoping to figure out what I want to do. I still have the original receipt, it has Office University (or whatever it's called) and a Magic Mouse.
Any ideas of where/how I should sell it? I usually use Craig's list but I don't think that's a great idea for this item. Also, how much do you Apple experts think I should ask? I'm addicted to my iPad 2 but it's on iOS 5 still because it's, well, you know...I like to configure my displays and icons and be able to free memory,etc. so I mainly use it. Thanks for any help! Much appreciated!

Carrie,
the information that is provided by About This Mac is accurate. What you have is a CTO (“Configure To Order”) variant of the MD322LL/A; thus, referring to it simply as a “MD322LL/A” does not uniquely identify it. I would recommend describing it as a “2.5 GHz 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM and 750 GB HDD”, so that the buyer knows exactly what you’re offering. Make sure that the box, the other original accessories that came in the box, and the original receipt are included with the MacBook Pro; picky buyers (like me ) appreciate receiving all of those constituent components.
Note, however, that according to the Mavericks software license agreement, that because its installed version of Mavericks was originally downloaded from the Mac App Store, its copy of Mavericks is non-transferable; you will need to erase Mavericks and its recovery partition from the MacBook Pro’s internal disk before selling it. It would save the buyer some time if you would also perform an OS X Internet Recovery to restore its original Lion onto its internal disk before the sale.
To get an idea of what you should ask for it, take a look at online auction sites to see what other 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pros are selling for. You are likely to find more 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz models than 2.5 GHz models like yours, so you could add a premium of some amount to whatever the more common models are going for. If you live in an urban area, Craigslist could be used to sell it, as long as you and the buyer can agree on acceptable payment terms; finding a willing buyer might be more difficult if you live in a rural area.
