Is it possible to define limits, parameters, etc. (in TestStand) as requirements for Requirements Gateway?

Hello guys,
Actually this is more a "Requirements Gateway" question. However, as there seems to be no board for it yet, I'll try my luck here.
So, this is my situation:
I'm using Requirements Gateway mainly to manage changes and different versions of requirements.
The requirements are written down in a Word file. Certain steps in TestStand sequences cover those requirements.
What I am interested in is to be able to see when a change in my requirements has occurred but the TestStand file hasn't yet been altered to meet the new/changed requirement.
Now by "requirement" I mean things like limits, parameters (voltages, currents, etc.).
Does anybody know, how to do this?
So far I am only able to process things that are formatted with the "Requirements_ID" style in a Word file.
However, the parameters mentioned above are in the "Requirements_Text".
Ok, sorry once more if this is the wrong place to ask this.
Greetings from Wetzlar, Germany

Hi there,
I found a solution to my problem. However not with the help of the people of NI!!
As a matter of fact, I'm still waiting for some practical advice from NI.
When I phoned them on July 12th, the woman at the other end didn't even know at first that Requirements Gateway was a National Instruments product !!!
I then got outreached to a guy who wanted me to mail him my problem. I did but got no answer. So I called again and was promised to be called back. Yesterday (13th), after having left for the day some guy called back and a collegue of mine left me a note with the email address of the NI guy.
I wrote him an email this morning and I'm waiting for his reply.
I have to admit, I expected more. Now I'm rather disappointed by NI. I mean, you buy a software worth $2000 and they don't really know it's on their products list !!! Come on!!
However, HERE IS THE SOLUTION I FOUND:
First load your project (if not already loaded) into Requirements Gateway (NIRG).
In the menu bar click on "File" then on "Edit snapshots".
A dialog box called "Configuration" will appear.
You can now make a snapshot of your current project by clicking on "File" in the menu bar and then on "Make a snapshot of current project...".
NIRG will prompt you for a name for your snapshot.
Afterwards you will see your snapshot in the left column.
Whenever a change occurs to your project, NIRG notices this (it asks you whether or not to reanalyze the project), you can now go to the "Configuration" dialog box and click on the snapshot you took earlier on.
In the right column you will then see EVERY change in your project. When you click on an item that has changed, in the two gray fields below you can even see HOW things have changed.
By selecting "Display" -> "Selected snapshot view" you can even see what your project looked like when you took the snapshot.
OK, this is as far as I got.
I won't tell NI about my solution . I'm really curious to see whether they come up with the same idea or something even better.
Take care!

  • Is it possible to define the parameters of auto-sized text?

    Hello,
    I'm working on creating a form that will create small signs with variable text sizes. The font value is currently set to "0" but I'm concerned that my end user will add so much text that the sign becomes unreadable.
    Is there a way to create limits on font size within a text field? Can I put a range in the value field to achieve what I am looking for? Or is there a better way?
    Thank you,
    Erin

    My apologies for not coming back to you.
    After a 3 hour phone call and several weeks of emails, I received the following helpful information:
    "I took a look at your form and quickly noticed a few things. To start, the form you were working on was using PDF artwork since it was imported from an existing AcroForm, this limits the objects and functions you can use, and for that reason I have to recreate the form into a Static XFA form. Once that was done I tackled the font size 0 issue. By setting the font size to 0, you let Acrobat/Reader decide what actual font size should be used, but the only problem you face by enabling multiple lines is that Acrobat/Reader doesn't know when it should stop shrinking the font and start writing to a new line. This is a limitation of the feature, and not a whole lot can be done.
    What you can do on the other hand is to script your own logic. In the attached form I created a new formFunction container with a bit of logic. The function stored inside of this container gets called by all of the fields on the form when the document is opened, and every time the field is exited. This logic allows the fields to use font size 0 which auto sizes the font up to a certain point, but after 30 characters (when the font starts being to small), we set the font to a default 10pt and enable multi lines. Using this logic, you should be able to implement this on your forms."

    As Anthony said - no, not in the parameter signature of a procedure or a function. Which could have unexpected run-time errors as one could wrongly assume that using a "derived" type will allow this.
    The following example illustrates:

    2 varchar2_5 varchar2(5),
    3 number1 number(1)
    4 );
    Table created.

    17 end;
    18
    19 begin
    20 n1 := n;
    21 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'number parameter assignment succeeded' );
    22 exception when OTHERS then
    23 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'number assighment failed with error '||SQLERRM(SQLCODE) );
    24 end;
    25 end;

    Note that only the string assignment fails. The string parameter works fine. And there is no impact at all on the number side, despite seemingly constraining it to a single digit.

  • Define IView parameters for JspDynpage

    Hi,
    I have a JspDynpage Portal application that is called on many places. Now I want to define a inputparameter for that application that I know where it is called.
    Is it some where on the IView configuration possible to define some application parameters?
    I know that this is possible on WebDynpro. But I didn't find that setting for JspDynpage.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Dennis
    Does no one know how to do that?
    Message was edited by: Dennis Junker

    You can define any parameters you like in the portalapp.xml file (check the documentation). Once these parameters have been defined, when you create the iviews you can give different iviews different parameter values.
    I hope this helps

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • Possibility to transfer additional parameters in outbound XML message

    Hi,
    is there any possibility to transfer additional parameters in outbound XML message using (BADI: BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI).
    Additional parameters are,
    1. Communication Method for the Business Partner
    2. R/3 Vendor # & logical system for Business Partner
    3. Relationship between Business Partner Number and R/3 Vendor Number is ‘BP GUID’.
    How can we extended the structure in the BADI.
    Please give me qucik response.
    Thanks & Regards.
    Surya

    Look for structure which the interface parameters are referring, there you should see some dummy structures referring to INCL_EEW* for e.g. in PO header INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_SSF_PO. Add additional fields and pass the data accordingly.

  • Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

    Is it possible to define a function in the MathScript Node

    You can not define a function inside of a MathScript Node, but only because it isn't necessary. The way custom functions work in MathScript is that they are saved in .m files located in paths in the MathScript path list. When the MathScript compiler receives a function that it doesn't recognize, then it searches for it in the path list, and upon finding it, compiles and loads the function. You can specify these search paths manually by going to File>>MathScript Preferences from the MathScript Window or dynamically by using the path() command within a script.
    To answer your original question, if you would like to create custom functions dynamically within a VI, then you can simply build your custom functions using strings and then save them to an ASCII file with the extension .m. You could either save the file to a path already in the MathScript path list or you could dynamically specify the path by passing the path into a MathScript Node as a string and by using the path() command at the beginning of your script to set it.

  • How to define RFC parameters

    Hi Experts,
    i am using a RFC FM to from SRM system to ERP system. in ERP system the RFC FM parameters refer to some structures or tables which are not in SRM system.
    but i should transfer these parameters in SRM system to call this RFC.
    can anyone tell me how to define the parameters in SRM system?

    Hello,
    I also had to work with RFC to call SRM function module from an ECC system. I recommend you very strongly to create your own RFC function module in SRM and your own DDIC structures in both systems with just the fields you need. This custom SRM RFC function module, map the parameters to the standard 100+ field DDIC structure and call the SRM function module (not using RFC at this time of course).
    Why did I say "very strongly" : DO NOT duplicate the 100+ field DDIC structure from SRM to your RFC client system (by transport or manual copy), because some support packages add fields to some include structures of the complex structure, and they are inserted somewhere in the middle, and so it probably makes obsolete your duplicated DDIC structure.
    Hope it's clear

  • "Define query parameters" popup in Dataset properties - Refersh field, not displayed for Sps in SSDT 2010 (Works fine in BIDS)

    When we upgraded our SSRs projects to 2012, we are facing an issue in Data tools environment.
    When we click REFRESH FIELDS button in Dataset properties, With query type as SP (For all our sps), the "Define query parameters"  popup is not displayed. 
    When we checked the SQL Profiler for queries executed at back end , NULL values are used for parameters.
    But when we Used the QUERY DESIGNER button, and clicked execute for sp, the popup comes.
    For User defined Functions, the Popup comes correctly.
    In BIDS, still we can open the RDLs and do the operations correctly
    Please advice

    Dear Wendy Fu
    My Scenario is different.
    In Query Designer, Every thing is fine (Parameter Popup is coming, and fields are populated under data set)
    But what we need to do is
    1, Select Query Type As SP
    2, Select the required SP
    3, Click Refresh Button
    4, A "Define
    query parameters" window popsup
    5, Provide values and click Ok
    6, Fields will be populated under the dataset
    The issue we face is that, we are not getting the  Define query parameters popup,
    Hence NULL values are passed to execute the sp, to retrieve the fields set.
    The Work around we are using now is editing the sp, and use
    set @Parameter = Value
    for each parameters in sp, and then we get the fields populated under dataset, when we click refresh.
    The issue exists in both  MSDT for
    Visual studio 2010 &  MSDT for  Visual studio 2012.
    But every thing is fine in BIDS with VS 2008 Shell for the same RDL

  • Defining more parameters than a query needs

    Hi.
    When I run the following code, I get the error "ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number" .
    The problem is that I currently define more parameters than the query needs. Thats because I don't know how many bind variables the query uses, and I would not like to parse the query ...
    I don't understand why I have to define exactly the same number of parameters, and in the exact order ... It doesn't make sense. As bind variables have names, there should be no problem passing more parameters or parameters in a different order: the binding should be done by name...
    I'm currently using Oracle10g, ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.0.
    I would appreciate any help ...
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    BindByPosition is the default behavior as per the docs, and you can change that by setting cmd.BindByName=true which adds a little bit of extra overhead.
    That wont fix the error seen when binding a random number of parameters to the statement though. You need to bind the correct number and types of parameters.

    Hi,
    For ex. if u have an invoice of $1000 to pay a vendor but ur paying only $600 u can charge it off as either partial or residual pymt. If u do it as partial, in ur vendor line item display u'll see the original invoice of $1000 and pymt of $600 and balance as $400. If u pay as residual, in ur vendor line item display the original invoice of $1000 will be override by a new line item of $400. Hope u got the difference.
