How do I create a Snapshot without testing query?

I'm working in an environment where the connection to the database server is done through a VPN that is sometimes broken and I have to wait for some time until it is restored. Other times, the database server is just down and in maintenance.
In the meantime, I have to work with Director installed in a local virtual machine in my laptop.
So, now I'm trying to develop some EDQ processes when there is no connection to the database, I'm unable to save snapshots because they require a test to occur (clicking in the Test button) before saving them, even if I'm providing a full SQL query to snapshot. I think it's because Director needs to know stuff like the data types of the columns to initialize properly the fields in the process.
The problem is that I can't stop working just because there is no VPN. I should be able to create the processes and test them later when connection to the database is restored. I can do a lot of stuff (I can even copy-paste snapshots!) but I can't change nor create new ones, and that blocks me constantly.
How can I do a snapshot save without database connection and have Director asking me the datatypes instead of trying to guess them from a "Test"?

Hi,
You can't create a snapshot without a connection to the database. A connection is needed when a snapshot definition is created in order to retrieve the column names and data types. As a solution to your problem, why not use data interfaces? Create a data interface that is of the required shape and refer to this in your processes (instead of the snapshot). You can then create mappings to different sources of data, e.g. snapshots, reference data, etc. You can test your processes when you're offline using a reference data mapping.
regards,
Nick

    Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

    how can i create apple id without using credit card details ?

    @Limnos - that doesn't work anymore. There is no NONE option. I've been at it for hours trying to set up my daughter's account. I've tried creating and verifying an appleID on the web, on her touch...everything. Every single time you get to the stupid Touch, it wants to walk you through the verification of the account and it demands payment (even for their suggested apple Remote method listed in the KB).

  • How do you create an array without using a shell on the FP?

    I want to be able to read the status of front panel controls (value, control box selection, etc.) and save it to a file, as a "configuration" file -- then be able to load it and have all the controls set to the same states as were saved in the file. I was thinking an array would be a way to do this, as I have done that in VB. (Saving it as a text file, then reading lines back into the array when the file is read and point the control(s) values/states to the corresponding array element.
    So how do I create an array of X dimensions without using a shell on the front panel? Or can someone suggest a better way to accomplish what I am after? (Datalogging doesn't allow for saving the status by a filename, so I
    do not want to go that route.)

    Thanks so much m3nth! This definitely looks like what I was wanting... just not really knowing how to get there.
    I'm not sure I follow all the icons. Is that an array (top left with 0 constant) in the top example? And if so, that gets back to part of my original question of how to create an array without using a shell on the FP. Do I follow your diagram correctly?
    If I seem a tad green... well I am.
    I hope you understand the LabVIEW environment and icons are still very new to me.
    Also, I had a response from an NI app. engineer about this problem. He sent me a couple of VI's that he threw together approaching this by using Keys. (I still think you are pointing to the best solution.) I assume he wouldn't mind m
    e posting his reply and the VI's for the sake of a good, thorough, Roundtable discussion. So here are his comments with VI's attached:
    "I was implementing this exact functionality this morning for an application I'm working on. I only have five controls I want to save, but they are all of different data types. I simply wrote a key for each control, and read back that key on initialization. I simply passed in property node values to the save VI at the end, and passed the values out to property nodes at
    the beginning. I've attached my initialize and save VI's for you to view. If you have so many controls that this would not be feasible, you may want to look into clustering the controls and saving the cluster as a datalog file.

  • Creating a snapshot without primary keys

    Hi,
    I would like to create a snapshot for a table that does not have a primary key. I've read the thread
    "Re: creating snapshots without a primary key??"
    from Mar 24, 2003, which seems to indicate that this is allowed if the snapshot is not updatable. However, even when I disable the "Updatable?" option, I still get the following error:
    WTG-20502 Packaging Wizard Failed. 500
    CONS-10032: Publication item: WTGPI_10012 cannot
    be updatable, primary keys for xyz.abc not found.
    BTW, the Oracle9i Lite Developer's Guide for Windows 32 is really thin in this area. In particular, the description of the Updatable feature is the following:
    This check box defines the snapshot to be created
    as updatable.
    That description has a lot of unmet potential.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hello,
    If you create a snapshot that has no primary key, you have to check the option "complete refresh".
    Oracle uses the primary key to track changes for the "partial refresh" option (only send changes back and forth).

  • How can I create side bars without cropping the image?

    I want to create side bars because I am projecting in an vertical panel, but if I crop the image them I only get the middle part of it.
    How can I create side bars in an way that I can still move the image inside?

    On a Video Track directly above the clip(s) you want to have behind the side bars, place a clip of Color (or whatever you want to use for your sidebars).
    Now go to the Effects Tab > Matte >Mask Shape and drag the Mask Shape filter to the Color clip you have placed on the timeline.
    Double click on the clip to open it in the viewer, and click on the Filters Tab.
    Click Invert Box, and adjust the shape to get the side bars you want.
    And now the clip(s) that are beneath this effect will have the side bars and be independent of it, so that you can move them around.

    i just want to create apple id without filling bill information, just for free application to download.

    False, Apple does not charge for free apps. You have an authorization hold, just like many other merchants do to verify that the account is valid and has funds available. The hold will fall off the account in a couple of days without charging your account.

  • How to display/create Local field in SAP query

    HI All,
    I'm new to abap query. I have to include a local field in the existing query. I know through SQ01->Edit->Local field we can display the Local fields, but the options under Local Fields menu option are disable even in change mode of Query.
    So, later through SDN found that, I have to Switch On the short names menu option. Even the sub-options in Short Names are disabled.
    Can any body please let me know how can we display the local fields to the change the formula and how can we create the new local fields in the existing qeury.
    Hope I'm able to explain my issue clearly.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can create the local fields in the "Select Field" screen. (Third screen after "Title, Format" and "Select Field Group") This option is disabled on the other screens.<br />

  • How do I create a subVI without controls?

    Greetings,
    I am going through some exercises to learn LabView and I have a question.
    One of the exercises in my book is to create a subVI that generates a random number within a min/max range.  (OK--re-invent the wheel)  I have the block diagram and I have the icon designed, but I am having difficulty in getting the connections wired.
    Right now it's a hard-coded static value for the min and max.  I'd like to have a connector in for each of the min and max (so that the parent can specify that however it wants be it with a static integer, an input, etc) and then a connector for the output--again, without a specified control so that the parent can take the value and run with it.
    How do I do the wiring?  I can obviously drop in controls into the front panel, but my parent project doesn't need the clutter of 3 extra controls coming up on it.
    Thank you,
    newbo
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    From the connector pane, you can right-click on a connector and select a setting.  You can set "This Connection is->" to Recommended or Optional.  This will allow the VI to be called without those terminals wired from the parent VI.  If left unwired, the default values you put in the controls will be used.
