How to use Unicode characters with TestStand?

I'm trying to implement the use of Greek characters such as mu and omega for units. I enabled multi-byte support in the station options and attempted to paste some characters in. I was able to paste the mu character (μ) and import it from Excel with PropertyLoader. However, I have not had any luck with omega (Ω). I found the HTML codes for these characters on a web page (http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/) so I could use those codes for HTML reports, but that won't work for database logging, nor does it display the characters correctly for the operator interface. The operator interface is not a major problem, but the database must have the correct characters for customer reports. Anyone know how to do this? D
oes database logging support Unicode for stored procedure calls to Oracle?

Hello Mark -
At this time TestStand has no unicode support. The multi-byte support that we do offer is based on the Windows architecture that handles Asian language fonts. It really isn't meant to provide a bridge for unicode values in TestStand. Certainly, your Operator Interface environment will have its own support level for unicode, i.e. at this time neither LabWindows/CVI version 6.0 nor LabVIEW 6.1 officially support unicode characters. This is why you will see that the units defined in the TestStand enumerators are all text-based values.
I have run a quick test here, probably similar to what you were doing on your end, and I am uncertain if you will get the database behavior you want from TestStand. The database logging steps and API all use basic char sty
le strings to communicate to the driver. Even though you are reading in a good value from Excel, TestStand is interpreting the character as the nearest ASCII equivalent, i.e. "Ω" will be stored and sent to the database as "O". If you have a stored proceedure in Oracle that is calling on some TestStand variable or property string as an input, then it is doubtful you will get correct transmission of the values to the database. If your stored proceedure could call into a spreadsheet directly, you would probably have better luck.

Problems in using Labview DLL with TestStand!

Hi,
I tried to put the VI's to create a TCP/IP Connection, read/write Data to it and close it inside a LabVIEW DLL and use these functions with TestStand.
The problem is to get access to the ConnectionID generated as TCP Network Refnum in LabVIEW.
I don't know how to specify the prototype entry for this Refnum in LabVIEW and how to read it with TestStand.
Another try to pass an ActiveXReference of SequenceContext and use the SetValIDispatch method to set a local variable (Type: ActiveXReference) to the returned ConnectionID of the TCPOpen.VI wasn't successful too.
It seems to me that the connectionID isn't a normal ActiveXReference.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi Sunny -
You should treat this parameter as a pointer to an int when calling the DLL from TestStand (or any language like C or C++). Note that you can't do anything with the value outside of LabVIEW since it only has meaning inside of LabVIEW. You can only pass it around for use in other VIs you call from TestStand.
Hope this helps....

How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

Hi!
A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
(We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
@Entity
public class Employee {
@Id
@Column(name="EMP_ID")
private long id;
@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
EMPLOYEE (table)
EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
1 Bob Way 50000 6
2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
ADDRESS (table)
ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada L5H2D5
From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
Thanks for any advice.

How to use my itunes with a new pc

how to use my itunes with a new pc?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How to use the namespace with a parser?

I want to use the namespace in my project. For this reason, I use a sample
from
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/7b_pe.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/5_ns.html
to test my understanding.
The slideshow2.dtd refer to the definition in 'xhtml.dtd'. Because in these
two files, they all use the 'title' as the element names. To solve these
conflicts, The namespace is used to qualified the one in slideshow2.dtd.
But the parser still complain that the 'title' in slideshow2.dtd is declared
more than once.
I use apache's Xerces.
I want to know if Xereces realy support namespace spec. now, or how to use
the namespace with a parser. Can anyone kindly tell me where to find some
material that demo the use of namespace in Java program.

Hi Experts,
i have small query about how to use union statement with declare & set function?
Example as below :

Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
SET @name = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%1]'

You have to create stored procedure in SQL only .
Like u must have create for Crystal .
You can execute procedure in query manager but you have to enter parameter manually..
example
Exec @Test '20140101' '20140501'
Every time user has to enter it manually in yyyymmdd format in case of date parameters.
Example
Create Proc [@Test]
as begin
DECLARE @name AS date
Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2013',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2013.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2013.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2013.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2013.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2013].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between @Name and @Name2
Union
/* SELECT FROM [2014].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2014',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2014.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2014.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2014.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2014.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2014].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between

Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.

Greetings,
hi forum...
how to use Java WebStart with EJB ? examples ?Well, for starters these are complementing, not 'cooperating', technologies. I presume, since EJB's do not - directly, at least - communicate with a web browser, that you intend for "Java WebStart" to somehow invoke an EJB?? Java WebStart is a technology for running client-side (Java) applications from the web browser - perceptively, the application resides on the server, but technically it, like an applet, is downloaded to the client and run there. Unlike an applet, however, it is not constrained by "sandbox" restrictions and does not have to be re-downloaded each time it is invoked - though the process allows for automagically updating the client-side with new versions of the application. ;) So, with this in mind, to "use Java WebStart with EJB" means little more than deploying an EJB client application with Java WebStart as the distribution channel.
