How do I deploy teststand 3.5 to a different directory?

Hi:
We are currently upgrading from a Teststand 2.0.1 infrastructure to Teststand 3.5. To reduce the amount of changes in our existing infrastructure, I'd like to remove the old Teststand 2 directory (c:\teststand) and install Teststand 3.5 to the same directory (c:\teststand rather than c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Teststand 3.5). This will save us going through and changing any sequences or DLLs that are pointing at the absolute directory path c:\teststand. I was able to do this with the regular Teststand 3.5 installer without a problem by choosing 'Custom' and then changing the Teststand directory. Everything then worked fine on the test PC after installation.
However, now I'm trying to create a run-time-engine installer using the Teststand Deployment utility, and I can not figure out how to change from the default Teststand install directory of c:\Program Files\National Instruments\Teststand 3.5. Is there a way to do this? Can this perhaps be done with a spec file, or do spec files not work with the deployment utility?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Sorry for the delay in response. Here's what I've found.
You can modify the setup.ini file that is created with the Deployment
Utility to give you more flexibility with your TestStand Installation.
In the setup.ini file, add
Dir1EditLabel=12
Dir2EditLabel=13
Dir1=NIDIR
Dir2=TESTSTAND350DIR
to
[SingleDirectoryDialog]
DirText1=4
DirText2=7
which results in:
[SingleDirectoryDialog]
DirText1=4
DirText2=7
Dir1EditLabel=12
Dir2EditLabel=13
Dir1=NIDIR
Dir2=TESTSTAND350DIR
This will result in the installer asking for two paths instead of
one. By default (with this change) they will not be labeled. (See
attached screenshot)
The first dialog box is the NI Default directory. Anything shared
between multiple NI products will be installed there. In the future,
when other NI products are installed, they will default to whatever was
entered in this dialog.
The second dialog box is the location that TestStand components will be
installed to. This includes the TestStand engine, components, process
models, etc.
If you wanted to add labels to these path prompts, you would need to
modify the resource strings. This can be done in Visual Studio if you
have a copy. I believe Visual Studio Express Edition is now available for free on Microsoft's website.
Hope this helps Dave, have a good one and let me know if you have any questions.

How can I redirect Batch Report Files to a different directory.

I have a custom version of the Batch Process Model that allows for on the fly report updates. At the end of execution the final report is written. I need to redirect this final report to another directory, but I am having trouble identifying where the report directory is specified. Right now, it is writing in the same directory as the sequence file and I need to change this.

Hi Terry,
have a look at the following inside the process model TestUUTs (or Single Pass)
Locals.ModelData.ReportOptions.DirectoryType
set this to "SpecificDirectory"
then in
Locals.ModelData.ReportOptions.Directory
set this to your target directory.
If it's a permanent setting, then I'd suggest updating these values before run time in the report options panel from the Configure menu option.
If it can be determined before the sequence is run, then you could do it as part of the report options callback. Otherwise, slot it in as and when needed, just before the call to the Determine Report File Path and Determine UUT Report File Path steps, although I guess that depends on how much you've modified the process model so far.
Hope that helps

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login?

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and Active Directory with a goal to automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login? (NOT an option for me to use BitLocker)
I was asked to deploy EFS to encrypt the user my documents folder and profile on all of the users laptops. The laptops are in common areas (board meeting rooms, etc) and security of files is a must.
I successfully created a recovery certificate in AD. I created an OU and setup an EFS policy and users can now login and select to encrypt their own files. The issue is that management would like to have automaticy Encrypt ALL users my documents AUTOMATICALLY
when a user login.
Can this be done?

Deploy teststand system Labview instrument drivers

I'm trying to deploy a teststand application but I have an error with some Labview VI's.
I'm using some VI's to control an Agilent 34401A, so Labview instruments library that
is in the default package was used. The error says that Labiew Could no open the following VIs...
I don't want to install the Labview development system on the target machine, so I don't know
how to fix this problem.
I tried to copy the library to a different location an removing the VIs that are not wired (VI Tree.vi),
but I have the same error. (On the sequence was changed the path to the new VI location).
Thanks
Marcos

Marcos,
You can execute VIs using the LabVIEW Runtime Engine, but all of the source VIs must be processed to collect their required dependencies and insure they are compiled in the current version of LabVIEW. The Deployment Utility process VIs from your sequences automatically. The TestStand Reference Manual has a chapter on deploying TestStand systems that should help you get started.

Trouble deploying TestStand

Hi,
I have tried many suggestions and configurations but I still cant get my deployed TestStand to run in other PC. I kept getting "Unable to launch the 'LabVIEW .Application' ActiveX automation server. TestStand cannot find a LabVIEW Development System installed in this computer." My test sequence also uses custom process model. Below are the things that I have done:
1. Configured the LabVIEW adapter to use RTE and enable "Always Run VI in LabVIEW RTE" in the LabVIEW Advanced Settings under Module tab.
2. Added configuration .ini files that will be used, including TestExec.ini and TestStandModelModelOptions.ini in workspace.
3. Enable "Install TestStand Engine" and leave Engine Options/ Drivers and Components as default.
Below are my questions:
1. Since I am using custom process model, where should I save this .seq in?Is it in my working directory or TestStand components folder? Reason why I am asking this is because I tried both ways, the latter gave me
"Warning: This problem will cause an error when building a deployable image or an installer. The following file(s) were not found:
rfid_read_write.seq in step 'Reset Test Sequence', sequence 'MainSequence', sequence file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel_RFID.seq'"
Obviously rfid_read_write.seq has already been included and present.
2. Should I also include this custom process model .seq file in the workspace/deployment?
3. How to solve the unable to launch LabVIEW.Application issue?
Thanks.

Hi, it looks like the app has trouble starting up:
05/01/17 10:21:47 - ERROR: ID90506: NOT Deployed. ERROR returned from deploy service :
com.inqmy.services.deploy.container.DeploymentException: Can't init application carmodeller. com.inqmy.services.servlets_jsp.server.WebApplicationException: ID17110: Error in starting application carmodeller.java.lang.NullPointerException
Did you have any errors on the compile of the code?
You also want to check if the app is deployed (if so you may want to remove it before re-deploying it)

How to delete/deploy resources in ES4 workbench?

In the previous version of the workbench, I could deploy resources (PDF, flash files) into the workbench by drag-and-droping the file from the Windows Explorer into the workbench resource's tab. I could also delete the resource files by right clicking on the item and selecting 'delete' in the resource tab of the workbench.
In the ES4 workbench, I could no longer do the above. Drag-and-drop does nothing and the right click context menu only shows Relationships, Access Control, History. How to delete/deploy resources in ES4 workbench?

How to deploy a war file from a different app server to the SAP one

Hello,
I hve recieved a war file from Tomcat that needs to be deployed on the SAP Java App server. As far as I know the SDM only allows to deploy ear files. How can I deploy this war to the app server?

Hi Roy,
in order to deploy the WAR file you have to wrap an EAR around it. I had the same problem.
You can do this using Netweaver Developer studio.
Perform the following steps:
- Start NWDS
- Create a New Enterprise Application Project
- Create a New Web Module Project (name it like your war file => e.g. your war file is called myApp.war => call your Web Module myApp)
- Edit the application.xml of your Enterprise App if necessary (description, Displayname etc.)
- Link your Web Archive to your application archive (right Mouse click on Application Archive and from the Context Menu choose "Add Modules" => In the list choose your Web Module)
=> You can also perform a right mouse click on your web Module and from the context menu choose "Add to EAR Project" => In the list choose your Enterprise Application!
- Build Web Archive (right mouse click on your Web Module and from the context menu choose "Build Web Archive" => This will create a war file that has the same name as your war file! => If you do not see it try to switch to resource perspective!)
- Build Application archive (right mouse click on Application archive => from the context menu choose "Build Application Archive")
You are done
The EAR file is generated and will be created in your workspace.
Now browse to your workspace. Unpack the EAR using WinZip or any other Archiver program.
Replace the contained war with your war and repack the ear file (You can also use tools like Total Commander to directly replace the war file in the EAR with your war without having to unpack the war). You can also import your war into NWDS and rebuild it so you won't have to replace the WAR in the EAR but as your WAR is already built I would just replace it as described!
You can now deploy the ear file to SAP J2EE
Hope this helps (Reward points for helpful answers are appreciated!)
Cheers

What is the difference between Deploy TestStand system(3.1) and Run Engine Installation wizard(1.0) in Tools menu

Hi,
In TestStand

If you want to run a TS script that calls VIs on a Runtime engine only system you have to use the Deploy TestStand utility to do that. Since a Runtime Engine only system does not have vi.lib you must search all the .seq for VI calls and then traverse all the SubVis to find all the calls to VIs in vi.lib. The Deploy TestStand does that for you. It moves all the VIs and SubVIs to a SupportVI directory and mass compiles them. Once all VIs are within the same directory the runtime engine can find them.
Note: This is a very nasty poorly written tool. I had a deploy that would take about 6 hours to complete. I wrote my own that takes about 4 minutes to complete.

How can i deploy adf-richclient-demo.war to tomcat?

how can i deploy adf-richclient-demo.war to tomcat or
how can i use adf faces 11G in tomcat or
how long will the next version out?
thank you!

Hi,
the demo is a WAR file. So if you have a tomcat version that supports JSF 1.2 then you should be able to deploy it like any other JEE WAR file

Simple Question - How do I deploy custom taglibs to Oracle 9iAS r2?

Simple question.
There are lots of simple examples on JSP custom tags that have
a .tld file, a .java file with the handler class, and a .jsp
file that calls the custom tag to test it.
My question is, lets say I have a .tld file, a .java file and
a .jsp file for a tag example. How do I deploy them to
Oracle 9iAS r2? I'd like to code an example and deploy it,
but I'm stuck. I'm using Jdeveloper 9i, and have compiled the
.java file and included it and the .tld in a Custom Taglib JAR.
How is this JAR deployed to Oracle 9iAS, considering that the
Enterprise Manager only deploys WAR and EAR files? How do
a configure a web app to use the custom tags...
This should be simple -- maybe its too simple so I'm stuck!

check out ojspdemos which comes with the product.

How can I deploy Digital Edition 2.0 through SCCM?

Hello all,
I would like to know how I can deploy Digital Edition through my company's SCCM solution. When I create my usual setup for new software to be deployed, I get the Digital Edition package sent out correctly to my test machines, but nothing gets installed. It just stands forever and tries to install, then when I reset the machines, it gives me an error that I reset doing installation. But I know it wasn't even really trying to install the software.
Is there an msi file somewhere I can download and distribute to my users?
Kind regards,
Kasper

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
Kwy28 the Adobe Digital Editions software was not designed to be deployed. You will either want to ask the users who need to use the software to install it individually or install it on one system and then use a utility like Norton Ghost to make an image of that computer.

How can i deploy macbooks and 802.1x authentication using PEAP/MSChap version 2

How can i deploy macbooks and 802.1x authentication for wireless connectivity using PEAP/MSChap version 2. The Cert is generated by a 2008 Windows CA authority. I am trying to get to join but the MAC doesnt seem to want to accecpt the cert. Can i not validate the cert and still have it join the 802.1x wireless netqwotk? The wireless netwotk is using a Cisco 5508 wireless controller and Cisco 1142 access points. All works fine with Windows devices.

Hi Tarik,
Thanks for your answers,
I've attached my configured AuthZ rules and AuthZ profile for provisioning,
I want the process to be the same for iPhone, Android and Windows.
1) Connect to the SSID
2) Login using your AD credentials PEAP-MS-CHAP-v2
3) Redirect to device registration portal (So I can set a limit of 3 devices per employee)
4) As soon as the client click "register" no more redirects and PERMIT-ALL
I think that I don't need to rely on profiling because In terms of AuthZ policies it should be something like this:
1) if WIRELESS802.1x and PEAP-MS-CHAPV2 and BYODREGISTRATION=!YES(Unknown or not reg) then "Redirect to device registration(that is NSP right?)"
2) if WIRELESS802.1x and PEAP-MS-CHAPV2 then PERMIT-ALL(no redirection)
3) everything else = DENY-ALL
But the NSP looks for Client Provisioning policies, so if I don't configure any policy it should Allow Network Access(See attachment photo3.png) but as I said on the post it shows that cannot retrieve the MAC-Address so the client can't register his device and don't have access to the network. (To grant access I've configured provisioning policies, that way the clients can register their devices but they are redirected to google play or are forced to install the profile at iOS and this is what I don't want because it is not necessary)
What screenshoot do you need after the registration? the Auth report?
Thank you very much for your time!

How to change the TestStand directroy name?

Hi,
I'm interested to change the TestStand directroy name to 'TestStand' instead of 'TestStand 3.0' or 'TestStand 3.1'.
I'm facing a problem with this name. Here is an explanation:
Right now we have TS3.0 and TS3.1 installed on several computers. We work on projects that share modules (like GPIB). These modules are in a ClearCase system, so each one of us can use them and modify them. These modules call to some TS files like 'tsutil.fp' (which is located on the C drive). As a result of different TS names, the project which formerly called a file in TestStand 3.0 directory is now looking for the same file in TestStand 3.1 directory which it doesn't find...
Can you advice me how to modify the TestStand directory name to 'TestStand'?.
Thanks
Rafi

In TestStand, if you go to the Configure>>Search Directories menu, you can add user defined paths to search directories. You have the option to add/remove/move up and move down the search directories. However these options are valid only for user defined search directories. The paths to directories that come shipped with TestStand cannot be removed or moved up/down. In your case, I would suggest that you create a custom path to the directory where you want to search and move it right to the top of the list using the "move up" button. In this way that particular directory will be searched first.
Thank you

ActiveX Automation server error on deployed TestStand

I'm trying to deploy TestSTand 2.0 + LabVIEW 6.1 on a PC under Win-2K.
I created and deployed TS Engine and Operator Interface for LV.
I try to deploy the "Auto.seq" test from the TS exemples.
Of course, it works on my Development system.
On the deployed system, I got an error : -18351; An error occurred reading an ActiveX Automation server type library.
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
Step 'Read Database Option - Read Options' of sequence 'Get Database Options' in 'SequentialModel.seq'
After having ignored those 2 errors, the tests goes on normally and the report looks fine.
I also get this error opening the database configuration:
Step 'Read Database Option - Construct' of sequence 'Edit Database Options' in 'Database.seq'
From answers already given for similar subjects, I've checked that TsDBOptions.dll is present and registered (done regsvr32...) on the PC.
Can someone help ?
Note: upgrading to more recent TS + LV versions is not a solution!

Whether you are using database logging or not, you should not get an error like that when database options are loaded. From the kb's you specified it sounds like there was an issue with a COM/ActiveX server not getting registered in the past. Especially on machines in which TestStand was installed from a deployment rather than the main installer. Have you tried running the version switcher like the KB suggested? Did it succeed or give an error? If it gave an error what was the error? Could you perhaps try a fresh install of TestStand on a clean machine?
