How to extract Attribute Value from a DBC file with LabWindows and NI-XNET library

Hi all,
For my application, i would like to feed my LabWindows CVI Test program with data extracted from *.dbc file (created by another team under Vector CANdb++).
These files contains all CAN frame definition
and also some extra information added to :
Message level,
Signal level,
Network Level
These extra information are set by using specific ATTRIBUTE DEFINITIONS - FUNCTIONALITY under Vector CANdb++
The opening of the DataBase works under NI-XNET DataBase Editor as in LabWindows using: nxdbOpenDatabase ( ... )
No attribute seems be displayable under the NI-XNET DataBase Editor (it's not a problem for me)
Now, how, using the NI-XNET API and CVI, be able to extract these specially created attributes ?
Thanks in advance.
PS : In attached picture, a new attribute called Test_NI, connected to a message

Hi Damien,
To answer your question on whether the XNET API on LabWindows/CVI allows you to gain access to the custom attributes in a DBC file, this is not a supported feature. The DBC format is proprietary from Vector. Also, custom attributes are different for all customers and manufacturers. Those two put together make it really difficult for NI to access them with an API that will be standard and reliable.
We do support common customer attributes for cyclic frames. This is from page 4-278 in the XNET Hardware and Software Manual :
"If you are using a CANdb (.dbc) database, this property is an optional attribute in the file. If NI-XNET finds an attribute named GenMsgSendType, that attribute is the default value of this property. If the GenMsgSendType attribute begins with cyclic, this property's default value is Cyclic Data; otherwise, it is Event Data. If the CANdb file does not use the GenMsgSendType attribute, this property uses a default value of Event Data, which you can change in your application. "
Link to the manual : http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/32FCF9A42CFD324E8625760E00625940
Could you explain us the goal of this attribute, and what you need it on your application.
Thanks,

How to get attribute value from standard page ?

Hi,
How to get attribute value from standard page ?
String str = (String)vo.getCurrentRow().getAttrbute("RunId");
But this value is returning a null value ....
Can anyone help me to get this attribute value which is actually having a actual value .

getCurrentRow() would always return null if no setCurrentRow() is used.
Please check the page design and understand how many rows of VO are there. You can also use the following to get the row:
vo.reset();
vo.next();

How to get attribute value from an object inside an object in Xpress

Does anyone know how to get an attribute value from an object in Xpress in a workflow? I have an object structured as follows:
<ResourceInfo accountId='mj628' tempId='3483372b787ce7dd:-5d99a0c5:130cb238483:-3600'>
<ObjectRef type='Resource' name='Google Apps'/>
</ResourceInfo>
I need if possible to get the name='Google Apps', which is inside the ObjectRef, so I guess its an attribute value of an object inside an object.

If the ResourceInfo object is accessible in a variable, i.e. named "myResInfo", you just have to check the Java API and call the relevant method:
<invoke name='getResourceName'>
<ref>myResInfo</ref>
</invoke>

How to get attribute values from one view to another

HI all,
Thx in Advance..
I have 2 view like v1,v2.In v1 i used one attribute values from "get single attribute" method.And i need the same values in v2 screen.For this i did in v1 outbound plugs , i mentioned the parameter name . How can i get the same values in v2.

Hi chandru ,
you said you declare the parameters in the Outbound Plug of V1. now go to view V2 inbound plug Tab and creat one inbound plug
double click on the plug name .it will navigate you to the event handeler method . Now add the outbound parameter variables in the
parameters
For example : V1firing the navigation plug
a type string " defined in parameter
wd_this->fire_out_to_view2_plg(
    a =      'ABCD'                           " string
you can retrive the value freely in v2 inbound event handeler
a type string " defined in parameter
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `TEXT`
      value = a )." here you will get the 'ABCD'.

Reading each value from spreadsheet file with delay (multiple rows and columns)

Hi,
a) I want to read EACH VALUE from a spreadsheet file having multiple rows and columns WITH DELAY. I am attaching my VI and sample datalog file for reference (tempsensor.txt).I need to do so because as soon as I read put ON the Sensor button on front panel, LV reads all the values at one go. I need the values for each temperature to be displayed after a delay.
b) Secondly, I would like to read another file containing the state of four antennas (deployed:1; undeployed:0). I am logging state of each antenna in each column of the file(magnet.txt) I need to have four LEDS on front panel to display state of the antennas. I dont know what I have done for antennas in my VI is right or wrong. I guess thats rhe wrong way to approach the problem. Please help!!!(column1: Antenna1 state ; Column2:Antenna2 state.. and so..on..)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Ratnesh
FYI: The first column in my datalog file represents timestamp(number of seconds elapsed), second column: reading for temperature sensor 1, third column: reading for temperature senosr 2, and so on. I am using approx. 11 temperature sensors.
Also, I have generated the log files for the reference purpose only. They do not represent the actual values. They are far away from actual values.

Look at this modified version of your VI. After looking at it, I determined that a shift reggister was not required in this case.

How to extract the values from WPBP table

Hi experts,
We are in preparation of a custom report.
In the report we want to have a value from WPBP table.
We want to extract the value of Capacity utilization level from WPBP table.
Could you please let me know the way to extract the value.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sairam.

Hi Sairam,
Why do you try to get capacity utilization level from WBPB. Even if there is split in payroll capacity utilizatian level in WPBP shows the value in IT0008 basic pay.
So instead you can get the required information from table PA0008 Field for capacity utilization level is BSGRD

How to access attribute value from another VO using groovy?

Hello, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
I read a lot of information about this but still I am missing something. I am trying to set the value of a bind variable through Groovy expression in my VO. I want this Bind variable
to have the value from an attribute from another VO. I tried ''adf.object.MyAppModuleImpl.findViewObject('Users1').currentRow.Iduser''
I am getting "oracle.jbo.expr.JISyntaxError: Variable MyAppModuleImpl not recognized". I tried with 'MyAppModule' only but the result is the same.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

How to extract a value from a dynamic form field

Hello everybody!
I created a field by the following command:
htp.p(HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(1,'',20,30,'','VAL4','VAL5'));
Then I created submit button.
Question: In what way I can address to that value after I submit my page? Does anybody know?

you'd be able to reference that value while your page is being submitted by pointing to the associated value captured in an array with something like...
htmldb_application.g_f01(1)
...so you could do an...
insert into my_table (my_col) values (htmldb_application.g_f01(1));
...to trap that value. but having said that, i don't know if you want to go that route. if you render an element using the htmldb_item api, that element's value won't be stored into session state. you can only get to it when you page is being processed/submitted (in an html db process, computation, or validation). if you really only just want one text field to display on your page, i'd strongly suggest just adding an html db Item of type "Text Field" to your page. that way you can refer to the value stored to that item from anywhere in your app. anyhow, you might already know that. getting back to your question, though, the htmldb_item items are stored to pl/sql varchar arrays when submitted to the html db engine. i explained that briefly in...
Validations in Updatable Report
...(except i was calling the two api's wwv_flow_item and wwv_flow), and it's explained in better detail in our tabular form how-to document at http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html please do take a look and let us know if you need further assistance.

How to retrieve attribute value from my JSP?

My servlet needs to redirect to a JSP. Before that, I set an attribute value.
getServletContext().setAttribute("filename",templateFile);
RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequest...
rd.forward(request, response);
In my JSP, this is how I want to retrieve it:
<%
String filename = (String)request.getAttribute("filename");
if (filename != null)
%>
<%= filename %>
<%
else
%>
it is null
<%
%>
But the value is always null? Do I need any tag or declaration on the top of my JSP?

Can i set attribute for list and get that list using request.getAttribute() in jsp?
ex.
in action
List plist;
plist = ...
request.setAttribute("plist", plist);
to get this value in jsp
<%
List plist = (List)request.getAttribute("plist");
%>
is this code is allowed?

How to populate a form from an xml file with multiple records

I want to be able to create a single form that will add pages as needed based upon the number of records being imported from an xml file.
I have an IRS form that does this exactly, but I do not know how to re-create it. I entered data into the form, then exported that data to xml. Then I opened that xml file in excel and added more records (this is just an easy way to manage the xml data in a tabular form). Then I import the changed xml file into the IRS form and it adds as many pages as I have records. Perfect! Unfortunately, I cannot edit the form to examine the technique. It does not appear to be relying upon any additional local javascript files. It does use an 'add page' button which may suggest the form is using the template .spawn() technique, but when I try that in my own form, it gives me unique field names for each page which are then not consistent with the xml data. Hopefully someone can help me understand what I am missing.

did you want
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
</data></record>
or
<record>0
<data>"11.97.23.174/32"
<record>address <data>
<record>address <data>
<record>subnet <data>
<record>ip <data>"10.97.23.174"</data></record>

In jsp how to extract the value from a name obtained from javascript?

It's few time i program in Java and i'm involved in an application that uses javascript to communicate between pages. I've the follow problem: in my jsp page i must process a string, but this string is produced from a javascript function. But in jsp, out of javascript function, how can i access to the value of that string of which i see from Javascript only its name?

My string is already in a form, but i have not the request because data transmission happens through javascript: i've tried to write
request.getParameter("StringName")
and i've not found compilation mistakes but in execution the application gives error (maybe it doesn't find the request in the caller page)

How to extract multiple values from a procedure

Hi. This procedure performs a series of calculations and it is used in a userform (forms). Now we need to used to construct a report. Reading the procedure code, in the parameters list apears several (5 to be exact) parameters that are OUTPUTS (are describe like this in the documentation). I don´t know about plsql but i don´t know if there are any way to send parameters by reference to a procedure.
Another question, how can i invoque it?
Thanks.

How to extract embedded images from a Pagemaker file

this is using version 6.5
select image.
File > Export > Graphic
set the file type and save

>>says that this export technique does not work, it produces a low res screen version of the file.
Are you certain the original files were any better?
My preferred method of doing this works well, but it takes a few extra steps. I'd make a high-res PDF out of the PM file, then pick apart the PDF to extract the graphics. Are the graphics raster or vector? If they're raster, you can use Acrobat's Touch-up Object tool to open them in Photoshop. If they're vector, you can open the PDF in Illustrator and save out the graphics from there.
