How to terminate TestStand Application after a LabView error.

We've just started launching TestStand from a command line, and when it (TS) stops sequence execution due to a LabView error, the command window doesn't know its status. So, I have a two part question:
1) Is there a way to COMPLETELY STOP the TestStand application when a LabView error is encountered? (I have been able to get the error popup to stop, but TestStand is still active and the command line is still sitting there thinking everything is fine).
2) Assuming that there is a solution to #1, is there also a way to get LV or TS to report the error to an external command prompt or batch file?
Thanks,

Hi Manooch,
We've managed to get the TestStand sequence to stop when we want it to (by using the /quit option in the command line), but now we can't seem to get Reports to generate.
Specifically what we are doing is including a particular test sequence in a fully automated Build/Test/Report system. After an automated build of our product completes, we have tools and command files that load all appropriate code into the various components of our system, and then we lauch a TestStand sequence that exercises much of the newly imaged system. Since we are running from the command line - and that command line is being monitored by other processes within our Build/Test/Report system, we need to have TestStand stop AND exit, or else the command line just hangs.
So, we really need two things to happen:
1) Get TestStand to stop execution AND exit - and we seem to have this working.
2) Report the results from the test sequence:
- We have no problem doing this when the Sequnce Editor is launched directly, and the sequence is started from its GUI.
- However, when we use the command line to launch the sequence via your "TestExec.exe" - there's no report! All of the Report Options settings are the same as for the Sequnce Editor GUI.
So, at a minimum, we need to get the usual report to be generated and saved when we launch from the command line - and the preferred option would be to have any error codes from TestStand (or LabView, since the test sequence uses only LV steps) reported directly to the stdout, in this case the command line.
Hopefully that explains our setup and requirements a little better - and thanks in advance for the assistance.
FYI - TestStand version 4.1.1 running on Windows XP.

TestStand comes with loads of Operator Interface examples some simple, some full fledged. You can find it in teststand public folder win7 path here:C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2010 SP1\UserInterfaces
You can take these examples or use ideas from here, also read the teststand reference manual. It has a section about Operator Interfaces.

How do I save a file after getting an error in CS5?

I was working on Adobe Photoshop CS5 on my 64bit Windows 7 when I got the following message:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if the solution is available.
How do a save the file before the program needs to close?
Can I just close the Windows pop-up displaying the error, or will that also close the program?
I have not saved the file in a while and I don't want to lose all the work I have done.
Please help!

By the time you see that error message, it is already too late. Photoshop has already crashed.
That's why the Auto Save feature in CS6 is so attractive,

How can I terminate TestStand without requiring user input?

I want to completely terminate TestStand and any running sequences. Engine.ShutDown seems to have a delay waiting for user input. Is there a function call that disregards this delay and immediately either kills all sequences or unloads them and kills TestStand?
I am trying to do this in C++.

To BMas05 -
Yes if you set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Executing"
Time Limit: "2"
Action: "Terminate Execution"
On shutdown, if an execution is running for more than 2 seconds after shutdown is initiated, TestStand will attempt to terminate the execution.
Now if you wanted to escalate terminations that take too long you could additionally set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Terminating"
Time Limit: "4"
Action: "Abort Execution"
So now on shutdown, if an execution is terminating for more than 4 seconds after termination is initiated on shutdown, TestStand will attempt to abort the execution.
Now if you wanted to escalate aborting executions
that take too long you could additionally set,
Setting: "Exiting"
Condition: "When Aborting"
Time Limit: "6"
Action: "Kill the Execution's Thread's"
So now on shutdown, if an execution is aborting(typically unresponsive) for more than 6 seconds after abort is initiated, TestStand will attempt to kill the unresponsive thread.

How to terminate a java thread from c++ code?

Hi,
I made a screensaver which loads a jvm, forks a thread running a java class, wait until user's action(i.e. mouse move/click keyboard input), then terminate the java thread.
However, I met a problem, How to terminate a running java thread from c++ code?
Here is my code, but it does not work: (even after the terminate is called, jvm throws an error)
JNIEnv* env;
JavaVM* jvm;
HANDLE hThread; //handle for the startThread
unsigned __stdcall startThread(void *arg)
     jclass cls;
     jmethodID mainId;
     jint          res;
     int threadNum = (int)arg;
     res = jvm->AttachCurrentThread((void**)&env, NULL);
cls = env->FindClass( MAIN_CLASS);
     mainId = env->GetStaticMethodID(cls, "main", "([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
     // setup the parameters to pass to main()
     jstring str;
     jobjectArray args;
     int i=0;
     args = env->NewObjectArray(1, env->FindClass("java/lang/String"), 0); //only one input parameters
     str = env->NewStringUTF("localhost");
     env->SetObjectArrayElement(args, 0, str);
     env->CallStaticVoidMethod(cls, mainId, args); // call main()
     if (env->ExceptionOccurred()) {
               env->ExceptionDescribe();
     return TRUE;
Here is the main method:
First create the jvm and load the thread. then tries to terminate the thread, but failed here
switch (msg)
{ case WM_CREATE:
          JavaVMOption options[NUMBEROFOPTIONS];
          JavaVMInitArgs vmargs;
          jint rc;
          vmargs.version = JNI_VERSION_1_4; /* version 1.4 */
          vmargs.options = options;
          vmargs.nOptions = NUMBEROFOPTIONS;
          vmargs.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_FALSE;
          rc=JNI_CreateJavaVM( &jvm, (void **)&env, &vmargs ); /* create JVM */
          /* We pass the thread number as the argument to the invoked thread */
          unsigned int threadId = -1;
          // to initialize a thread-safe C runtime library
          hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &startThread, NULL, 0, &threadId );
} break;
case (WM_DESTROY):
          CloseHandle( hThread );
          jvm->DestroyJavaVM(); /* kill JVM */
          Debug("Destroy Java Virtual Machine\n");
}break;
Note, after the thread "startThread" runs, it has an infinite loop and will not terminate, until the user clicks to terminate.(I didn't call jvm->DetachCurrentThread();_endthreadex(0); in the "startThread" because the java thread will not terminate by itself)
Thus, the only way to terminate the thread is to call closehandle(hthread) in the main thread, which may cause jvm to throw an error.
Do you know how to terminate a java thread safely???
Thanks a lot

Assuming that your java thread is in a loop of some kind. Such as
int i=1; /* I tried using a boolean, I just could not get my C++ env, to change this value. So i decided to use an int */
run {
while(i)
isdfjsdfj
void seti()
i=0
So, B/4, i call destroyVM in my C++ code, i call this seti(). so the loop terminates, therefore my thread finishes executing and ends.
Hope this helps

Hi teda,
i'm assuming that you have seen my post that i did successfuly save report in user's personal category.
Actually the report is created in webi java panel using RE SDK and is saved in Report Sample Folder then i'm saving it in user's personal category by following code
string query = "Select SI_PERSONAL_CATEGORIES From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where "
                     + "SI_INSTANCE=0 And SI_ID=" + reportID;
                InfoObjects infoObjects = infoStore.Query(query);
                InfoObject infoObject = infoObjects[1];
                Webi wreport = (Webi)infoObject;
                ObjectRelativeIDs personalIDs = wreport.PersonalCategories;
            /personalIDs.Add(Convert.ToInt32(categoryID));
               infoStore.Commit(infoObjects);
But the report is presents in the Folder also and in user's personal category also.
I dont want the report to be in the folder (Report Sample) if i saved it in user's personal category.
How can i do that?
any idea.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser indicating that server has recieved transmission and request is submitted succesfuly?
I am rendering the form guide in browser using guide invoke service and when i submit the data in browser to server through guide , it is displaying some random number in browser?
i need to display a resposne that request is submitted successfully?

how could i define a variable with "html data" ?
Create a variable of type document and then a service to read the html from where ever it's located. If you put it in LiveCycle, you can use the ReadRessource service. If it's on the file system, you can use the Read Document. If it's in the database, you can use the JDBC service.
Also, one more doubt where should i use this variable in my process to get the same?
You want the response once you've submitted the data, so the html is really the result of calling the process that's processing the data. So I would create an output variable of type document on that process.
Right now it displays a random number in the browser because your submit process is long lived. When a process is long lived (asynchronous), you invoke it and then you get an identifier back. It's kind of a fire and forget. You can use that identifier to check the status of the long lived process, since long lived processes can take hours, days to complete. You don't want your browser to wait that long, hence the identifier.
However if you change the process to be short lived (synchronous), the browser will wait for the result of the process, which really means the output variables for that process. If your output variable contains html, it'll display html.
So the key is make you submit process short lived and populate the output variables appropriately.

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

It's rather more complicated that this.
iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.
