How to display the status of a SubVI on the front panel?

Hi,
I am writing a program to control an instrument through a serial communication port. The control and communication functions are integrated in a SubVI and they work fine.
In the front panel of the main VI, I want to add some indicators to display the status of those controls in real time, such as using some LEDs to show whether the program is running in some loops of the SubVI, or use some indicators to show some variables in the SubVI.
I tried using global variables, but I can't make them work in real time (or maybe I didn't do it right). The values of the global variables are actually changing on the fly, but the indicators on the front panel wouldn't reflect those changes until the program return
ed from the SubVI.
Is there a way to do this in Labview 6.0.2?
Your earlist help is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Hua

Hua,
I have attached an example in which a front panel boolean indicator is toggled in the subvi. Also, a front panel stop button is used to stop the loop execution in the subvi. References are passed to the subvi instead of the actual control values.
Without seeing your code I'm not sure what was going on with the globals, but you had to have a data dependency somewhere which was keeping the code from running until after the execution of the subvi. The code must be totally independent of the subvi in order to run. Also, in order for the update to work it would have to be operating in a loop.

ALV: how to display only subtotals and total rows in the output

ALV: how to display only subtotals and total rows in the output
i am getting output
i am getting subtotals for respective fields
but i want to display only subtotals and totals rows in the output
i have tried the
totals_only parameter in slis_layout_alv
but it is not working.

hi,
For TOTAL
For the amount field / quantity field in the field catalog give DO_SUM = 'X' for WHOLE total
For SUBTOTAL
For subtotal you will have to create an internal table sort..Let's say you want to do subtotal for each customer..
DATA: lt_sort type SLIS_T_SORTINFO_ALV,
ls_sort type slis_sortinfo_alv.
CLEAR ls_sort.
ls_sort-spos = 1.
ls_sort-fieldname = 'Give the field name that you do the sum'.
ls_sort-up = 'X'.
ls_sort-subtot = 'X'.
APPEND ls_sort TO lt_sort.
fieldcatalog-do_dum = 'X'.
for subtotals
WA_SORT-FIELDNAME = 'ERSDA'.
WA_SORT-SPOS = '2'.
WA_SORT-UP = 'X'.
WA_SORT-SUBTOTAL = 'X'.
APPEND WA_SORT TO IT_SORT.

How to check the status of an IDoc in the Target system

Hi Experts,
we are using a self-made program to send Material and BOMs from Client A to Client B into the same ERP System.
How can I check the status of an IDoc in the Target Client B (like BD87 - ALE Monitor) ?
If you have some examples or Function, please give me the information.
Rewards if helpful.
Regards,
David

Hi David
As mentioned in the earlier reply you can check your status with tcodes:-BD87,WE02,WE05.What i guess from your querry is the staus of your idoc whether posted or not in target client B.Check in the target client for the message type which you are using (since its an program that means you must be using an customised idoc type or standard) .You might have maintained Basic type tcode:-WE30.Give in your messagetype,Basictype,Created at and executed using tcode :- BD87.The prerequisites are you need to create an Partner Profile(WE20) .For this you need to create to provide in your message type and Process code(we41,we42,we57).If you have to create an process code for customised one(se37) .You need to actuivate the idoc inbound processing .If you are using a file in your file make it sure the port is being maintained for the same to chek for unicode format in tcode :-WE21 (check or uncheck).
For standard BOM i recon you are using message type :-BOMMAT and Processing code as:-BOMM.Its always advisible that instead of using an whole abap program you need to have an ETL tool that would take care of the extraction of data provided your client do have existing Legacy system in its place since it would be much faster and easier.

How to update user status in CRM Order depending the delivery status in R/3

Hi All,
In my scenario the partial delivery allowed to the customer while creating the CRM Order. But as per my requirement the status should be updated when the complete order and delivery takes place.
Let me describe you clearly:
Suppose I want to deliver 5 quantities products to the customer but initially I want to deliver only 3 quantities and rest 2 quantities later. When I do the post goods issue of 3 quantities in R/3 system the status should not change in CRM system. When I will do the rest 2 quantities in post goods issue in R/3 then the user status should change in CRM Order. But in current when I do the delivery of 3 quantities the user status is changing in CRM Order.
I need the user status should change in CRM only when the entire deliverytakes place in R/3.
Thanx
Chinmaya

Whenever an item is fully delivered, by standard, a "Completely Delivered" status will be updated into the item. If the I suppose by referring to that you will know an item is partial or completely delivered. When all items in the order is fully delivered, the standard header status will set to "Completed". So, you will also know if the whole order is partial or completely delivered.
If you want to add a user status, the simplest, you can make use of the ORDER_SAVE Badi. Just call the function CRM_STATUS_MAINTAIN_OW. You can update both header and item status.

Hi,
In some case if you disabled the connection in Windows firewall inbound of
"Cluster aware updating" service it will can’t use the CAU.

Determining the Status of Provisioned Resources from the database

What is the best way to determine the status of a provisioned resource when looking at the OIM database?
In the USR_UDF_APPLICATION_P table I see all the fields for the resource, but not the status. What table contains the status?
Thanks in advance!
Kerry

The status of the application will be stored in "ost" table.
Following query will give u to get all the users who has provisioned to particular resource.
SELECT usr.usr_login FROM idm.ost,idm.oiu,idm.obj,idm.usr WHERE oiu.ost_key = ost.ost_key AND obj.obj_key = ost.obj_key AND oiu.usr_key = usr.usr_key and ost_status='Provisioned' and obj.obj_name='Application Name'
Where in OST status, you can give what ever status u want to find.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Venkatesh.

I want to publish my data using datasocket connection on the net and I want to use Front panel binding. Can I?

I want to publish my data on the net.
I want to use front panel binding and I do not want
to write the code. Can I do that. What should I modify
in my datasocket server manager. The other question is, When I open my VI, I want to open automatically my DataSocket Server. My english is bad. When I open the LabView I also want to open my DataSocket server. How can I do this?

To use datasockets to publish data to be accessed via the web, see the following document.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F58A6C2DAAADECB68625672400636145?OpenDocument
This document explains how you can create an interactive Web page with which users can view data from a remote acquisition application without the common problems of a client-server application. You use the Measurement Studio DataSocket control and Microsoft Visual Basic to create a software component that you can insert in a Web page. You then use that Web page to read, write, or share data with other applications across the Internet.
If you want to publish data but do not want to write any code, you should consider the web publishing tool available in Labview 6.1. This tool allows
you to create a webpage to be published from the the LabVIEW webserver on your machine. See the following link for more information on ways to easily publish to the web from LabVIEW.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/E4E311FA046EE24586256B1F0074F39D?opendocument
As for starting the datasocket server when you run your VI, you can use the 'System Exec' VI to run the application. The exe to start the server is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\DataSocket\cwdss.exe
I hope this is helpful.

How to display a row in Cross Tab when the count summary is zero

My customer wants a row for all possible data, even when the count is zero. How can I get a row to display when there is no data? Using an example: Display status for incidents - possible five statuses, but selection only results in four statuses because no incident were cancelled. Customer wants all five statuses to display in cross tab with cancelled showing '0' (zero))
Open
WIP
Cancelled
Pending
Closed

This worked for the last guy who had a similar issue.
Take a look at what it's doing. You should be able to use the same principal to meet your needs...
I'm assuming that you'll only need to show 4 weeks at a time on your report.
The easiest way to do it is by creating 8 separate formula fields:
W1A
W1RT
W2A
W2RT
... and so on
I don't know how your data is coming across but the formula should go something loke this:
W1A... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =0 THEN
W1RT... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =0 THEN
W2A... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =1 THEN
W2RT... IF datepart(ww,currentdate) - datepart(ww,) =1 THEN
... and so on
If I got you weekly criteria wrong, sorry. It's just a best guess.
Anyway you should be able get the idea. It gives you the effect of a crosstab without the headaches of a crosstab.
Hope this works for you,
Jason

How to display delivery status on sales order line

Hi,
We're on R12.1.3
We have a requirement to display delivery status on sales order lines in quick sales order form. Is there a standard configuration available to achieve this? if not available, what would be the best way of achieving this?
I mean using, Forms personalization or Event based Alert etc?
Thanks,
Ram

This is already available in the additional line information..though..
If you still want that at line level to be displayed..maybe you need to customize the form...not sure how u can handle that logic

Pages that are shown in the status bar are docked to the right instead of the left..how can I make them go back to the left again?

A couple weeks ago my computer did an automatic update to a newer version of Firefox (it is now 3.6.8). Since this update, every time I open a window, it is docked to the right side of the status bar, when it used to be on the lleft side of the status bar. Also, several windows opened do not all show-instead only one window is shown and it will say how ever many windows I have opened (such as "3 firefox windows" instead of just showing those 3 different windows when it was docked to the left side). I have looked through the help section but cannot find an answer to this. I have looked through the "tools", then "options" section and compared my computer to another computer running the same firefox that has the windows opened docked to the left, and they both have the same exact settings, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with my "options" in firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

How to display a Report 9i from Forms if the Report has a Parameter Form?

Hi,
could some one please post me a code sample to show how to call a (paper layout, RDF) Report from Forms if I would like it to display the Report's parameter form first?
Thank you in advance.
Tamas Szecsy
I used the following code segment do achieve the job, but I get "REP-546: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_ALAL is not among the selectable values" message, even though I would like to specify the P_ALAL value on the report's parameter Form.
declare
paramlist_id ParamList;
tmp_riport_name varchar2(200);
report_id          report_object;
report_job_id varchar2(200);
tmp_id number;
begin
-- init
tmp_riport_name := null;
          -- parameter list
paramlist_id := get_parameter_list('mytmp_params');
if not id_null(paramlist_id) then
destroy_parameter_list(paramlist_id);
end if;
paramlist_id := Create_Parameter_List('mytmp_params');
add_parameter( paramlist_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES' );
          -- call report
report_id := find_report_object( 'DUMMY' );
if report_id.id is null then
     return;
end if;
-- display
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_execution_mode, runtime );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_comm_mode, synchronous );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_destype, 'preview' );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_desformat, 'PDF' );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_server, 'rep_geoias' );
     set_report_object_property( report_id, report_filename, :ALAP_REPORTS_NAME||'.rep' );
report_job_id := run_report_object( report_id, paramlist_id );
tmp_id := to_number(substr( report_job_id, length(name_in('rep_geoias'))+2 ));
web.show_document( '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||tmp_id||'?server=rep_geoias', '_blank' );
END;

I think you specified report object name incorrect.
in command line:
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT1');
Report1 must be name of report object in Form Builder.
However to call report from Oracle Form you must do more work. For example:
- Create report server name
- Adding some code to set property for report object base on report server you created.
