How to deploy custom Step List Configurations?

Step List Configurations is accessible to user via right click menu in Sequence File and Execution panes. How to deploy the custom Step List Configuration what I have at my deployment computer? Next question, if the user will modify this menu, how do not overwright the local changes with a new version installation?

skof,
To you copy your Step List Configurations to another PC you can find them stored in the layout_current.bin file found in C:\Documents and Settings\<windows username>\Local Settings\Application Data\National Instruments\TestStand X.X directory.  If you copy this file to the same location on another PC, or even on the same PC to a different user account, your Step List Configurations should carry over.
Since this file is stored in a directory that is different for each major version of TestStand, you shoulnd't have to worry about overwriting it if you install a new major version (4.2 over 4.1). I haven't tested for minor revisions that would share a folder (4.0 & 4.0.1) but that would be the only situation in which you might need to be concerned.

  • Edit step list configurations

    In teststand 3 and earlier, when executing a sequence it was shown in a column the result of the step and the high limit and low limit
    Now in TS 4 it is possible to edit the step list but i did not manage to show the step result . For example if i create a new column (type expression) and just put Step.Result.numeric, xhen executing the sequence I have a popup because for some steps there is no step.result.numeric available.
    My question is how to have the same as TS 3 and earlier ( Result + limits in a column when executing a sequence)

    Note that the numeric measurement appears as part of the description for the numeric limit test. The default TestStand 4.0 step list configuration has a description column, just like previous versions.
    I guessing that you probably know this and are purely interested in creating a custom step list configuration, but I wanted to be clear that this functionality has not been removed.

  • Import sequenceview control property from step list configuration

    I have worked out a  step list configuration  in my development maschine
    How to import it in  a User Interface (labview simple UI) . I  have to  run it on my deployment maschine 

    Hi aparab,
    thank you for your answer.
    I am stil not sure what you exactly want to change.
    If you only want to change the view of the Simple User Interface between Edit Mode and Operating Mode, you can do so by selecting Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Insert.
    If you want to manipulate the look of the Sequence File, this is an X-Control in the background. If you need another look, you can change the control on the Simple User Interface in LabVIEW. But you have to implement all the functionality by yourself then.
    There is a toolkit called FlexStand, that might be a solution for you. I added the links to some information about it and the product page below.

    I hope, one of the points above answer your question. Otherwise, let me know and describe what you exactly what to manipulate and how it should look like. You can add some screenshots, that help me understand.

  • How do you create a customized step list?

    I am creating a workbook for some exercises and I want to use a formatted, numbered step list so students can check off the step as they complete it. It might look something like this:
    __ 1. some instructions
    __ 2. more instructions
    __ 3. even more instructions
    The numbering would obviously continue from the previous number.
    How do I create such bullet/number option?
    Thanks

    You can certainly get the underscore as a leading bullet:
    +Inspector > Text (T) > List > Bullets and Numbering > Text Bullet > Type the underscore _ character however many times you want into the bullet field > click away in the page+
    Select the sample of the text and open the Styles drawer:
    +Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+ or click on the reversed ¶ in the blue dot on the toolbar at the top of the window.
    Select any *List Styles* name and:
    +Right mouse click > Create new List Style from Selection… > Give it a descriptive name+
    This will create:
    __ some instructions
    but without the numbering, which will need to be added manually. To add numbering I think will need some deeper editing of code or xml within the Pages app itself.
    I tried combining the numbered list with a leader tab of underscores but one removes the other.

  • How to deploy custom jar (forms PJC)  file in R12.1.x

    Hi ,
    we need use forms pjc connecting to client pc'com port with ebs form,
    we can deploy with ias standard form server , but EBS 's appsweb.cfg
    was automatically generated by AutoConfig , so i don't know how to config our jar in EBS env.
    i had search document in metalink for serval days , can some help us to solve this problem !
    thanks for any help...
    BR,Nolem

    Hi all, I am confronted by the same problem.
    I have manually added my custom Jar files to the archive=2 section of the appsweb.cfg config file in the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/forms/server and placed the Jar files in the $COMMON_TOP/java/classes/oracle/apps/fnd/jar.
    I know that this is probably not the way to go, as autoconfig will override these settings, but my first priority is getting these jar files to run in Apps Forms without errors. I got as far as that my forms don't error out anymore but not all of them are working as they should. I am also trying to deploy the WebUitl utility in EBS R12. As far as I can tell this should be supported by Oracle as it comes as part of a standard Apps Installation (except for the Jacob.jar) it can be found in: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil directory and the WEBUTIL_CONFIG reference to the webutil.cfg file can be found in the default.env in the same directory as the appsweb.cfg.
    If you want to look at some very good examples of PJC's there is a very good blog: http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/. You can also look at Francois Degrelle's blog on Read/Write files on the client machine without Webutil.
    Nevertheless information on how to deploy and run these PJC's under EBS is scarce. Metalink offers no solutions except very outdated notes.
    I would appreciate to know how to properly deploy these jar files in EBS
    I am also on 12.1.x. Btw there are more threads on this subject on OTN but most are outdated (threadID=1067917, 686329, 4246525) and don't provide the solution for EBS R12.1.x.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • OWSM: How to reference Custom Step properties/parameters?

    Hi,
    When you define a Custom Step via a XML file. You can define properties/parameters. In the sample files that comes with OWSM (CustomAuthenticationStep.xml) Username and Password are defined. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to reference these in the Java Step source. In the sample file CustomAuthenticationStep.java there are no references. There are two class variables called expectedUsername and expectedUserPassword, but they are never set in the source? There are nothing in the Extensibility Guide about this. Anybody know how it works?
    Regards Peter

    I've made a couple of these now. It somehow walks through the xml file you upload and then the properties defined are matched with the appropriate get/set methods in the actual java code.
    One example I had to make was to add HTTP Basic Auth headers to a request. Here is the section of the xml file.
    <csw:PropertyDefinitionSet name="HTTP Basic Auth Params">
    <csw:PropertyDefinition name="httpBasicAuthUsername" type="string" isRequired="true">
    <csw:DisplayName>Username</csw:DisplayName>
    <csw:Description>Http Basic Auth Username</csw:Description>
    <csw:DefaultValue>
    <csw:Absolute>USERNAME</csw:Absolute>
    </csw:DefaultValue>
    </csw:PropertyDefinition>
    <csw:PropertyDefinition name="httpBasicAuthPassword" type="string" isRequired="true" displayType="password">
    <csw:DisplayName>Http Basic Auth Password</csw:DisplayName>
    <csw:Description>Password to access Private Key</csw:Description>
    <csw:DefaultValue>
    <csw:Absolute>PASSWORD</csw:Absolute>
    </csw:DefaultValue>
    </csw:PropertyDefinition>
    </csw:PropertyDefinitionSet>
    You then have these get/set methods at the bottom of the class I created.
    public String gethttpBasicAuthUsername() {
    return this._httpBasicAuthUsername;
    public void sethttpBasicAuthUsername(String username) {
    this._httpBasicAuthUsername = username;
    public String gethttpBasicAuthPassword() {
    return this._httpBasicAuthPassword;
    public void sethttpBasicAuthPassword(String password) {
    this._httpBasicAuthPassword = password;
    Then I had this and the properties were available for use.
    public class BasicAuthStep extends AbstractStep {
    private String _httpBasicAuthUsername = null;
    private String _httpBasicAuthPassword = null;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • How to deploy customer extensions in EJB-Server?

    Hello,
    I would like to know, what is the best way to deploy customer extensions
    to a J2EE application (which is deployed as an .ear file) .
    I am using a configurable dynamic class loading to allow product
    customization (usually implementations of interfaces).
    I know some possible solutions, but...
    1. solution: the customer provides its product extensions as a jar file
    which is then located in the classpath of the J2EE server.
    But I dislike this solution, beause it requires a server restart if the
    customer extensions are redeployed and further on, depending on the
    customer company's security restricition, no access to the J2EE server's
    CLASSPATH might be granted.
    2. solution: the customer opens the .ear file of our product, adds its
    extension.jar to it and the extension.jar has to have a predefined name.
    By that we can make sure, that the classloader finds this jar (because
    it can be referenced in the classpath of the manifest.mf of the ejb.jar,
    it will do no harm, if it does not exist).
    What do you think about this?
    Are there other possible solutions?
    Best regards from sunny Black Forest, Germany,

  • Step List Configuration Question

    Hi,
    I'm using TS2010 in .NET ,Is it possible to change my custom

    Thanks

    Assaf,
    yes, it is possible.
     The key to start with is "axFileSteps.". In the context menu, browse for the property you want to modify.
    Font-settings for instance split up into three categories:
    Text
    Header

  • How to deploy custom HTML Help files in OBIEE 11g

    Hi gurus,
    I have question regarding deploying Custom HTML files in OBIEE 11.1.1.5, i tried to place files under
    Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/olh/l_en and tried to access with below URL after bounce Weblogic...but no luck.
    http://hostnmame:9704/analytics/olh/l_en/lOfferExpert_Help.htm
    Can some one give some pointers to appropriate documentation of achieving this?
    thanks
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    I am thinking deploying these html files as a part of separate application in weblogic might be another approach. This process is like
    1. Making a .war(.ear) of your html
    2. Deploying the .war in weblogic through deployments as an application with an application context.
    3. Referencing the files in analytics or even outside just through a url.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • 10.1.3.4 - How to deploy custom jar file in SOA ?

    I want to deploy a custom jar file whose methods will be used in various application that I am building like BPEL, ADF etc. How can I do that ?

    When deploying an ear or a war using EM/Application Control in the Deployment Settings page you can add extra jar files. Click on the 'Go to task' button of the Configure Class Loading task. There you should be able to upload your jar.
    If you need the jar in just one or two apps then I would go this way. Otherwise you might consider creating a shared library, but I've tried that once, but could not make that work.

  • How to deploy custom development with JDI

    We use JDI to deploy webdynpro for ESS application. for that we create a track, check in ESS components in the track and set up run time systems. now we are going to do custom development, for example: create interactive forms, etc.. we would like to use the same procedure to deploy modifications, but we could not found any software components to check in for the track. we are wondering, what should we do for our customer development? how do we create track without any software components?

    Thanks
    Jane Zhou

    Hi,
    For that we should be creating a software component in SLD.
    Define the required DC's for that.
    After doing this we need to create track for this software component.
    From then the way to develop will be same as modifying any ESS application the only change will be instead of saying create project in inactive DC's we say create application for the new Software component.

    Hi aparab,
    I don't know if's possible to hide the sequence editor itself in the TestStand development system.
    If you want to customize the GUI for the operator, it could be usefull to create a custom UI in LabVIEW, .NET ...
