Foreach -parallel in sequence.

Is there a way to run foreach –parallel in sequence? I tried this but it won’t run in sequence.
workflow
test
$servers
= "servers.txt"
foreach -parallel ($server
in $servers)
sequence {
Test-Connection
-ComputerName $server
test
99upgrade

When I run this code, part of $server and part of
Test-Connection
-ComputerName $server
executes randomly. For the output to make sense, I have to remove the –parallel switch and re-run.
What I was hoping to see in the output was the servername and its IP below it,
without compromising on the total time taken to complete the script.
workflow
test
$servers
= "servers.txt"
foreach -parallel ($server
in get-content
$servers)
sequence {
$server
Test-Connection -ComputerName
$server
test

How to create parallel routing sequence

how to create parallel routing sequence?
we have routings 3010 ,3020 ,3030 and 3040.
but 3010,3020 and 3030 operationwise shop list to be released at one time becuse they all are parallel operations.
after 3010,3020 and 3030 operations 3040 is a sequencial operation.
please do explain the process how to create parallel routing sequence in this case
and confirmation of operations
thanking you
srinivas

Srinivas,
i think you are looking at an option were in you can confirm or do goods Issue for the order. If that was the requirement, then the control is in customizing transaction "OPK4".
Here in this transaction you need to define "operation sequence is not checked" for the plant/order type combination.
Hope this helps....Please let me know if your need is something else,

ForEach Parallel doing VM Backups with TSM

Hi guys, Storage admin here.
Wonder if you could help me with the following Powershell workflow. The objective is to run a backup per VM and wait for the result code to check if it needs to be re-run.
This is what I have until now:
workflow VMincrBKP{
$VMlist = Get-Content -LiteralPath C:\SCRIPTS\VMLIST.txt
foreach -parallel ($VM in $VMlist){
$Tries=0
do
$Tries++
"###### Try number $Tries ######"
$Time = Get-Date
$Retries = 3
$Backup = Start-Process -PassThru -FilePath dsmc.exe -ArgumentList "backup vm $VM -asnode=ASNODE -mode=IFIncr -optfile=C:\SCRIPTS\dsm.opt -preview" -WorkingDirectory "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient" -Wait
$Result = $Backup.ExitCode
"####### Success $Result ######"
}until (($Tries -eq $Retries) -or ($Result -le 8))
"####### Total Tries $Tries ######"
When I call this workflow I get the following:
PS C:\> VMincrBKP
###### Try number 1 ######
###### Try number 1 ######
###### Try number 1 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 2 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 2 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 2 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 3 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 3 ######
####### Success ######
###### Try number 3 ######
####### Success ######
####### Success ######
####### Total Tries 3 ######
####### Total Tries 3 ######
####### Success ######
####### Total Tries 3 ######
The list contains 3 VM names, two exist and work fine but the third one should fail because it doesn't exist.

Hi ToribioAchaval,
I can not test with the cmd dsmc.exe, you can separately test the variable $Backup with inputing the wrong VM name, and check whether the value of $Result is less than or equal 8, because the loop will exit until the value of $Result is less than or
equal 8 or $Tries is equal 3.

Parallel routing / sequence

Hi Experts,
I have issue in routing as follows:
I have five operation in a routing as A,B,C,D,E. In every operation I have some component allocation.
Now operation B,C,D is a common operation but components to be allocated is different as per left side and right side of the product.
So How should I map these oerations B,C,D with different components allocation in a single routing.
Should I use parallel sequence or is there anything like parallel routing also. Please tell me the steps to create the routing with parallel sequences and parallel routing with effects of that after MRP run also.
Waiting for the valuable guidance.
Regards
Deepak Sharma

Hi,
In this case, for the operations B,C,D allocating components differently is not possible in the same routing. Because if the components are aligned to left or right as mentioned, there may be change in the product which in case has to be maintaned in different routings with different material numbers.
If not create routing for the same material with group counter 1 and 2, and create production versions and pick the desired ones after Production order creation.
Hope this gives you an idea...

WIP or scrap calculation for parallel operation sequences not possible

hi,
i want to calculate wip and scrap along with parallel sequence
system prompts following mesage any suggetions plz send in higher priority
Message no. KV161
Diagnosis
If the routing specifies a sequence of operations that are defined as a parallel sequence, this will have the following effects:
The system cannot interpret the confirmed scrap quantities in cumulative and periodic settlement when it calculates the scrap.
The system cannot calculate work in process at target costs for this order because it does not recognize the relevant operations.
Procedure
If you want to calculate scrap or WIP, do not define parallel sequences.
vishnu

Hi Robert
Though I am seeing this msg for the 1st time - I can give you a some insight into this
It seems you are in product cost by period (PCP) scenario ... In this scenario, WIP is calculated at target cost.... The mechanism of calculating WIP is Confirmed Qty at preceeding operation - Confirmed Qty of next operation..
In your case, since you have parallel operations in your routing, system wont be able to calculate WIP... I am not sure how parallel ops are defined... You need to get in touch with your PP guy....
But, one thing for sure , with parallel ops you wont be able to calculate WIP in PCP scenario

Passing information between parallel Teststand sequences.

The ExecutingCodeModulesInParallel example that came with Teststand 3.0 almost does exactly what I want. The example uses steps that run CVI. I am trying to create a LabVIEW equivalent of this example. Basically, I want a LabVIEW Display panel 1 to write to FileGlobals.Counter1 and a LabVIEW Display panel 2 to read from it during parallel execution.
Right now, I can’t seem to get the information to pass between the two displays.
Once I figure out how do this, I believe I will be able to apply it my specific task.
I’m a newbie when it comes to Teststand and LabVIEW. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
The problems is your VI loops dont actual set the FileGlobals.Finish1 boolean and Counter1 until the stop buttons are press by which time you probably have missed them and like wise your other VI only reads the TestStand variables when the VI is launched.
You need to call the PropertyObject.SetValBoolean method either by using the appropiate VI from the Teststand palette or via the Invoke node. In the other VI you will have to call the PropertyObject.GetValBoolean method and GetValNumber method. This also means you will need to pass the SequenceContext to both VI's.
Have a look at the original example again and you will spot the relavant calls in the two C functions.
I will post you your modified VIs later today.
Hope this helps

How can I execute Stored Procedures in PARALLEL and DYNAMICALLY ?

Hi
I have a stored procedure. It can be executed like this
exec test @p = 1;
exec test @p = 2
exec test @p = n;
n can be hundred.
I want the sp being executed in parallel, not sequence. It means the 3 examples above can be run at the same time.
If I know the number in advance, say 3, I can create 3 different Execution SQL Tasks. They can be run in parallel.
However, the n is not static. It is coming from a table.
How can I execute Stored Procedures in PARALLEL and DYNAMICALLY ?
I think about using script task. In the script, I get the value of n, and the list of p, from the table, then running a loop with. In the loop, I create a threat and in the threat, I execute the sp like : exec test @p = p. So the exec test may
be run parallel. But I am not sure if it works.
Any idea is really appreciated.

Hi nam_man,
According to your description, you want to call stored procedures in parallel, right?
In SSIS, we can create separate jobs with different stored procedures, then set the same schedule to kick the jobs off at the same time. In this way, we should be careful to monitor blocking and deadlocking depending on what the jobs are doing.
We can also put all stored procedures in SSIS Sequence container, then they will be run in parallel.
For more information about SSIS job and Sequence container, please refer to the following documents:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139855(v=sql.110).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Batch Test With Parallel TestSequences

Need a little assistance programming a TestStand batch sequence also containing test sequences which must run in parallel with synchronization.
I have a panel containing multiple UUT. Each UUT consist of 2 parts. The test may be divided into 4 groups:
1: Common start up test and programming
2a: Specific test and calibration on part 1
2b: Specific test and calibration on part 2
3: Common test and calibration of complete UUT
My application runs with the batch model (which I normally use and is familiar with), but must in this case also use parallel testing for each UUT. I need to be able to synchronize the parallel test sequences like they where running in normal batchmodel. I also need at some point to synchronize the to parallel sequences for all UUTs.
I’ve succeeded doing that with the enclosed sequence, but I am not sure it’s the right solution. Would like some comments.

A couple things regarding your issue:
You should be fine with just the Parallel or Batch model. Personally, if you don't need to switch out UUTs dynamically then I would go with the Batch model. Why? Because then you can use synchronized sections. Synchronized sections give you the ability to run a particular section of your sequence file (i.e. several or a single step) in Parallel, Sequentially or One Socket Only. With the parallel model you can kind of get there by using Locks and Queues. Look in the TestStand Reference Manual under Appendices A and B for more info on the Batch model and synchronized sections. To access the TestStand Reference Manual go to Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>><TestStand>>>Documentation>>Manuals.
Regarding your VIs and how they would handle each socket. I don't think it's a good idea to make a different VI for each socket. Just have some sort of case inside the VI that if 3 comes in the set the right wires to populate your switching or COM functions. For instance: Lets say that Socket 1 is executing and comes to the step to call the com_port.vi. One of the parameters for that VI could be the socket number. Inside the VI you set the desired com port to read or write based on that parameter. You can set the parameter in TestStand by using RunState.TestSockets.MyIndex (that will return the socket you are on).
In fact you wouldn't even need the logic in your com_port.vi. I would assume that one of the parameters to that VI would be a VISA session to your COM ports. In TestStand you use the LabVIEWIOControl datatype which has property of DeviceName. If you set that parameter to be '"COM" + Str(RunState.TestSockets.MyIndex)' then you will achieve the same thing as passing COM3 if you were in TestSocket 3.
Anyhow, this is just a few ideas for you. Obviously you have to implement what makes sense.
Hope this helps,

Ssis 2012 parallel execution of ssis packages using catalog database hangs

i have a simple ssis package in 2012 where I am executing several data flow tasks in parallel using sequence containers, however very often the sql job just runs forever although all the tables have been loaded or I cant see whats going on, the job neither
fails nor succeeds, just goes on executing,is there an issue with executing several data flow tasks in parallel, why does the job continue to run forver, how to troubleshoot and fix the error, please guide, are there any issues using the catalog db execution,
is that the reason this behavior is showing?

multiple execute sql tasks within sequence containers running to execute the ssis packages deployed in ssisdb in sunchronous mode using the catalog database execution model
all of the ssis packages that have the data flow taks retrieve data from source to 3 different tables.
some of them push data into the same table.
please let me know if you need more information.
the job just runs forever, looks like all the data flow tasks ran and it is still running, because I don't see an increase in the row count of the tables, I may be wrong, if I check the execution status, 1 task does not show as succeeded, I don't know why
thanks a lot for ur help, ur help is much appreciated nik

Trouble with parallel add and remove effect in TileList

We have a TileList of images. As the user drags a new image along the list (deciding where to drop it) a blank frame drops in to show them where it will be inserted when they drop it. Therefore, I have to add and remove simultaneously, while still dragging. For example if they are at index zero, a blank frame is in index zero. As they move to 1, the blank frame appears to move from index zero, to index one, as the image that was at index one appears to move to index zero. But what I'm really doing is just removing and then adding the blank frame.
I think the following code should accomplish this. And it works, most of the time. Every so often, there is a delay where is does the REMOVE, and then waits until the Back.easeOut tween is complete, and then does the ADD.   It is intermittent. Any ideas, or is there a better way to do it? Thanks
MXML code:
    <mx:Sequence id="myEffect">
        <mx:Parallel>
            <mx:Move
                duration="600"
                easingFunction="{Back.easeOut}"
                />
            <mx:RemoveItemAction id="dcmRemoveItemActionTag"
                                 />
            <mx:AddItemAction id="dcmAddItemActionTag"
                               />
        </mx:Parallel>
    </mx:Sequence>
actionscript code:
                _sharedMedia.removeItemAt(_sharedMedia.getItemIndex(_dropPlaceHolderimage));
                _sharedMedia.addItemAt(_dropPlaceHolderimage,dropIndex);

hi,
You could do this a couple of ways, you could have a slight delay set on the remove effect so that it doesn't interfere with the ease function.
or
You could add the item instead of an empty frame, on the dragdrop event you don't need to do anything if you get a dragexit triggered then you simply remove the item completely.

Sequence files documentation in TestStand 4.0.1

How can I generate sequence files documentaton in TestStand 4.0.1 for all sequences from particular workspace (tests suite) in automatic way? Is there any seqence already written or mayby TestStand 4.0.1 provides some extention of sequence files documentation tool known from TestStand 3.x

It's not trivial, but if you look at the ForEach.seq tool sequence (Components\NI\Tools\ForEach.seq) you can use that as an example of enumerating all .seq files under a particular directory and performing an operation on them. That tool opens and resaves all the sequence files under a particular directory. With some work it could be made to generate sequence file documentation instead. Also I think there's a sequence in ForEach.seq that you could call to get back an array of all sequence files' absolute paths under a particular directory which you could then loop on and call into the documentation sequence with.
Hope this helps,

Help with the Parallel Model configuration

This is my first time posting, but I am a long time reader....
First off, I would consider my Teststand knowledge level as high novice to low intermidiate. I created a test sequence using in Teststand which calls labview vi's. My test sequence tests 5 units at a time in a parallel model (parallel model sequence). Functionally, everything runs great in single pass and looping. However, here is my issue:
When selecting "Test UUT's", it brings up a window that asks for the serial number for each of the five stations. The operator then needs to enter a serial number for each and press okay to proceed. This setup is not valid for what I am doing. My test fixture has a button at each of the 5 stations. The user is to push the button to start the test (connects to a DAQ). Then, the serial number is read from the UUT and populated in the report.
How would I go about reconfiguring this? I am not looking for someone to solve my problems for me, I just need a little direction. I looked at the parallel model sequence and I can't figure out where to go with it.
Please help,
Ryan

Go to Solution.

No problem Ryan,
When you are done here you will be a pro.
Here is a link that talks about callbacks and how overriding them works: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6605
The PreUUT will be a Model Callback.
One thing I should point out- There is a huge difference between the Batch Model and the Parallel Model. People tend to get them confused and sometimes use the wrong when the other one is a better fit for their architecture. They way I think about it is like a race track. Each car on the track represents a different test socket. One time around the track represents a full test. Pretend the race is completed by teams of cars. Each team can only race one car for one lap (sorta like a relay). The team would represent the available test fixture for the next UUT and the car would be the UUT. Here's how the race would work with each model:
Batch Model- Let's say there are 2 available spots in the race so we have 2 teams of 5 cars each. Both of the teams 1st cars would line up at the starting line. The gun would go off and each car would take off. Let's say team 1's car gets around the lap first. Before they can start their 2nd car they have to wait for team 2's 1st car to get around the track as well. Then both team's 2nd cars would line up and continue the same as the first go around and so on until all 5 cars had raced.
Parallel Model- In the same car scenario as the Batch Model both of the team's 1st cars would line up and the gun would go off and they would go. However, this time if team 1's car gets around the track they can immediately send their second car without waiting for Team 2's 1st car. In fact all 5 of team 1's cars could be finished before team 2's 1st car even finishes it's lap.
Not sure if you are a fan of analogies but they work for me. In short-
Batch Model- Everything in that set of test sockets must start and stop at the same time.
Parallel Model- Each test socket is independant of any other test sockets.
I'm picturing your scenario where you have 5 different stations that will be running independantly of each other and trying to figure out if you would want the Batch behavior or the Parallel behavior. Or..... Why wouldn't you just use the sequential model on each station and deploy your sequence to each station? Maybe you can describe your setup in a little more detail and we could come up with a better solution.
How does the one station know that the others have the Go button pushed?

Run 5 commands in parallel using scriptblock

Hi,
I have an array of 10000 commands that I want to process through an application, but only 5 commands in parallel at the same time. So I will take 5 commands from the array $arrCommands, then run those in parallel, then take another 5 commands..process..and
so on.. I might have to use "scriptblock" functionality, but with current setup the chance is it will try to run thousands commands in parallel which will actually kill the server. I won't use "Foreach -parallel" because my server running

Can anyone suggest how can I use scriptblock functionality to receive and process 5 commands in parallel?
