Is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence?

I have created a custom TestStand operator interface and have modified the default sequential process model to display a UUT information dialog that prompts for more information than just the UUT serial number. This UUT information dialog is a LabVIEW VI. To distribute the operator interface, I build it into an executable. As part of the build process, I make a copy of the UUT information dialog VI (which is part of my operator interface project) and place it in the same folder as the executable. I have then configured the sequential process model to call the dialog VI from this location. It would be really nice if I could embed the UUT information dialog VI inside the operator interface executable so that I could distribute just an executable instead of an executable and separate VIs. Is this possible? In other words, is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence just like a standard LabVIEW VI call?

Ryan,
The dialog that you've created isn't being directly called by the OI at all and shouldn't need to be included in the same directory as the OI for distribution. Since you are modifying the PreUUT of the default process model, you will give the path to the VI in that step, create a deployment and then manually copy the VI to the directory referenced in the step. The VI is considered a support file for the process model and is not related to the OI at all.

How can I call a LabVIEW executable from within another LabVIEW executable?

I have a customer requirement for two LabVIEW executables. Based on their current setup, they need to run executable "A" or "B", both of which are under independent revision control. I have created a third "selection" executable that allows the operator to choose between one of the two, but I am receiving errors when I attempt to call a LabVIEW executable from within a LabVIEW executable using either the "System exec" VI or the "Run Application" VI. If I call a non-LabVIEW executable (such as Windows Explorer) everything works fine.

As with the other poster, I suspect a path problem. You might try the
path out in a shell window, and if it works, copy the complete absolute
path to LV to see if that works. LV is basically passing the comma
nd to
the OS and doesn't even know what is in it, so you should be able to get
it to work.
The other poster commented on subpanels, which is a good suggestion, but
without going to LV7, an EXE can have open more than one VI. You can
use the VI Server and the Run method to fire up another top-level VI.
The decision is whether you want both to be in unique processes.

How to call a python script from a TestStand sequence?

Please tell me how is it possible to call a python script from a TestStand sequence.
Thank for your help in advance.
Imre

Here you can find some information about Python and LabVIEW:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=124424&query.id=149647#M124424
If you have LabVIEW, you could use LabVIEW steps to call your Phyton Scipts.
Another solution would be, to do, what is decriibed in the thread directly in TestStand:
You can call a dll or .NET assemblies directly from teststand, or use the "Call Executable" TestStep.

Calling labview executable from teststand

I have a labview VI that I build into an exe, and I'd like to call it from my teststand sequence in the setup - other test steps need to use its capabilities in the remainder of the sequence (main). If it were just a VI, then no problem, the inputs would be visible to me, and I could pass them in. Since it's an executable, though, my step is of type "Call Executable", but I don't see anywhere that it allows me to pass in the inputs it needs. Thoughts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What version of TestStand are you using? With TestStand 4.0 for the 'Call Executable' step there is a line called
Argument Expression:
Enter your parameters to pass into your LabVIEW executable. You will have to know which ones to pass in and in what order. I believe you can seperate the arguments by spaces. In my attachment, I pass in one parameter to a LabVIEW executable.
Remember, though you have to set the Build properties in LabVIEW to allow it to Pass command parameters to the application.
Thanks,
PH

Not able to see that particular query which is executed from application

Hi Friends,
I have one application which is executing a number of queries in the current session. I want to know which query is taking how much time?
So I have executed following query in Toad for this purpose, but this is giving details of those queries only which are executed from either Toad or SQL developer.
I am not able to see that particular query which is executed from application. Please suggest me if I am missing something.
select ss.schemaname,ss.machine,ss.program,ss.logon_time,ss.sql_exec_start,ss.wait_time,

Dear Friends,
is there any option for this through Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g?
Actually I have done little bit research on EM console and go through SQL Monitoring Executions page but did not get the particular query details executed through the application.
I have also checked the link - AWR Baseline but not get any result.
As I am new in database administration activities, Please help me regarding this. You can also suggest me other solution except Oracle EM console.
Thanks.

Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible. Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form. I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

Hi,
You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Is it possible to call out the camera's propertypage in labview?The camera is based on directshow.

I'm currently working on a project that contains a part need to call out the camera's propertypage and enable users to change the property.I've learned that the propertypage has already been passed via directshow what we do is just call them out.
This has been achieved in C++ used simply just one function----olecreatepropertypage,this is how it works:first,create a blank frame;then use the function mentioned before to call out the camera's propertypage;finally fill it in the blank frame page and it's done.Thus I think this shouldn't take too many steps in LabVIEW to get the same result.However,I'm new to LabVIEW and I just learned it for couple of months,I really don't know where and how to start,I'm absolutely clueless!
I've managed to come up with two thoughts that might be the solution:1.use the CIN(I'm working on this one);2.use the Call Library Function Node(yet I don't know which dll to call)
I hope someone will give me a hint or something that might work,any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
Best regards!

Can anyone please help me,a hint will do.And if I don't make myself clear,please contact me.

Calling a java webdynpro component inside a SAP Workflow

Hi Experts ,
Is it possible to call a java webdynpro component inside a SAP Workflow from the task .
If yes please let me the procedures .
Regards
Sarmistha

Someone has posted this, Take a look if it helps you:
"1. Activate your service in transaction SICF;
2. Activate the WS_HANDLER in SICF (probably you have to do more in SICF, SAP notes will be given to you in your browser when you want to call the service);
3. Make the correct settings in WF_HANDCUST;
4. Do ofcourse SWU3 including webserver activities;
5. Define how you want to call the service via WF_EXTSRV including parameters;
6. Generate a task from your defined service in WF_EXTSRV;
7. Incorporate this task in your workflow definition;
8. Test your workflow. Here you probably get some errror messages that the service cannot be called by for instance inactive ICF services. Activate the correct paths in transaction SICF."

Dont ask why! How do I call an applet that is in a jar file that is...

Can someone tell me how I would call an applet that is inside of a jar file that is inside of a parent jar file?
example call to an Applet
<APPLET CODE="TimeApplet" ARCHIVE="time.jar" />what I want to do is something like
<APPLET CODE="TimeApplet" ARCHIVE="parent.time.jar" />
where parent is the top jar and time is the inner jar.any help or links to tutorials/articles would be most appreciated.
if you ask why I wont answer.

we are doing a signed applet and we only want the user to have to sign 1 time
and we have lots of applets to display so we dont want to have them sign for
each item.Sorry but that doesn't make much sense, niether does putting a jar file in a jar file.
Do you want the "do you trust" question only one time? If so than you only have
to sign all the jar files with the same key.
You can load a jar file from your applet but it seems that these jar files will run
in sanbox security no matter how you sign it:

Path to Executable from Dynamically called VIs

QUESTION: How can I retrieve the path to an executable that is called from a VI that was created by dynamically loading a VI template?
The application is a bit too complicated to post, so I will try to describe...
I have a built executable. It dynamically calls VITs that are insides LLBs and executes them. Because they are dynamically called from a VIT, the VI loaded into memory this way is only a copy of the VIT on disk - there is no path information to the loaded VI. This all works fine.
I would like to programmatically get a path to the calling executable from within one of these dynamically called VIs (or one of their subVIs). I have so far been unsuccessful.
Call Chain only gives the names of the callers. I couldnt' find a way to get the path info to the EXE from just the name.
The VI property "Caller's Paths" gives me an empty array of paths
Constant paths are unacceptable - I need these modules to figure out the absolute path to data support folders of the calling executable. Not only will they be called by different executables at different times, any one of those executables may be in a different locatin depending on how/where it's deployed, i.e., all over the danged place!
Any answer is appreciated, even if it's "no way, not going to happen"
Thanks in advance!

You need two application properties:
Application.Directory Path and Application.Name
Together they will form the total path of the calling executable

GP public API: is it possible to call that using BSP

Hi
if we dont want to involve NWDI development, is it possible to call those GP public APIs using BSP?
any tutorial avaiable?
thanks and best regards.
Jun

Hi Jun,
The GP Public APIs are Java APIs and without NWDI/NWDS, it is not possible to use them. It is not possible to call them from the ABAP Side.
However, it is possible to start a GP Procedures via Web Service. That might help you if you want to start a Guided Procedures from a BSP. But the display of the runtime might be a problem since it is not possible to jump from a BSP to a portal page. At least, I don't know how if it is possible.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
David

Is it possible to call a adobe form inside a function module?

Hi gurus,
i am trying to generate the pdf data source inside a custom function module,
the function module will call the FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' , then call the function module of the pdf interface. then get the pdf data back and return.
but at run time i got the error message:
FPRUNX101, the job already started.
then the program stopped.
i checked the service market place, there is a note for that:858325 Message "Job already started" when you display PDF forms .
according to the notes,it seems that it's only possible to call the pdf generated function module in a program.
my question is , is there a way to call that in a funciton module?
best regards.
Jun
the note states that:
Reason and Prerequisites
At runtime, a PDF-based form is called using a generated function module. If you use the new interface, it is necessary to set the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE as control structures with one or several generated function modules. In order for the single test from Transaction SFP to work simultaneously, however, the system checks for the test environment of Transaction SE37 (in which the test ultimately runs) in the single test. In this case, the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN or FP_JOB_CLOSE are called automatically.
If you then test a function module that calls a PDF based form and therefore calls the function module FP_JOB_OPEN itself, this leads to the error message mentioned above.
Solution
The test should be carried out using a program that in turn calls the function module to be tested.

sorry, i found out the reason.
the fm can not test direct in se37, it should be wrapped by a program.

Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?

Hello,
I have a customer using CRM 11.5.10.2 ( Database 9.2.0.6 / 6i Forms) and will be created a functionality in the CRM screen, where end user will call (via button) a custom application running on 9i Forms.
Customer believes that there is a technical limitation to achieve that. That is, call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms.
Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?
Thank you in advanced for help,
Marcos Souza.

I should have thought so, as Forms 9i is exclusively web-driven, so how you launch the URL is immaterial as long as you use a supported browser. As your Forms 9i apps will invariably be on a remote web server, you'll not encounter compatibility issues either. And Forms 6 and 9 development is possible on the same PC using multiple Oracle Homes. Ask Oracle beforehand if you are still not convinced.
