Is their a possibility to call SDK functions from TestStand directly?

Hello!
I want to call a function from the Windows SDK.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Brosig
Using TestStand 3.5 and Windows XP

Brosig,
sadly i dont know what the error with the pdb-file could be. but as far
as i see from the description to the function found here, there should
be no such dependency.
please take a look into the "requirements"-section of the link. it
seems that kernel32.dll is sufficient for usage of the function. and
for myself, i never had such problems when using the kernel32.dll.....
one problem could be the type of the parameter you are using. i know
that there are sometimes odd issues on SDK when the parameters do not
fit exactly the needed type. so make sure that all strings are
null-terminated and the buffers you pass are preallocated!

How do I call Vee functions from TestStand ?

I wish to call Vee functions from TestStand steps.
I am using Vee 6.01 and TestStand 2.0.

Hi Gerry,
Sorry about that. Below is a sequence file created in 2.0.1f1. Please copy the contents of the zip file (previous attachment) into the folder \Examples\VEE\Using ActiveX (VEE 6.0). Please create this directory if it does not exist. The next thing you will need to do, is register the TestStand VEE server located in \Examples\VEE\Using ActiveX (VEE 6.0)\VEE_StepType.dll. To do this:
1) Select Start>>Run.
2) Type regsvr32 "C:\TestStand\Examples\VEE\Using ActiveX (VEE 6.0)\VEE_StepType.dll"
You should get a message saying that the registration was successful. You should now be able to run the example. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems. Thanks!

Is it possible to call Java functions from XSLT, using standard Java 6?

I have seen examples, but the examples are always the most simple case, which even I can already get working. The case where no arguments are passed to the java function.
As soon as I try to pass an argument to the java function, i get a stupid unhelpful error message (as always error messages are unhelpful).
Or am I wasting my time using the standard provided java parser, and need to use apache or something?
anyone who can provide me with a couple lines of working code is to me a saint!
At the moment I am using calling a named template, and passing a param into this.
I want to use this param as an argument in the Java function.
Is this possible?
example code:
 <xsl:template name="calc-age">
 <xsl:param name="dob"/>
 <xsl:variable name="sdob" select="java:lang.String.new($dob)"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="java:toString($sdob)"/>
 </xsl:template>

I have fixed it.
I had to call an xslt 1 function 'string' on the variable before passing it into the java function (see below).
 <xsl:template name="calc-age">
 <xsl:param name="dob"/>
 I know that the value of the param is: <xsl:value-of select="$dob"/> 
 <xsl:variable name="poo" select="$dob"/>
 <xsl:variable name="sdob" select="java:lang.String.new(string($poo))"/>
 And here again, we try to print a variable<xsl:value-of select="$poo"/> 
 And here again, we try to print the result of the java call<xsl:value-of select="java:toString($sdob)"/> 
 and here is our variable sdob <xsl:value-of select="$sdob"/>
 </xsl:template> Now this is APPARENTLY a xslt-1 function,
but the reference I had been using for this is
http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp it is linked to by a reference that calls these xslt-2 functions.
Maybe they are mixed xslt-1 and xslt-2 functions?
How am I supposed to know?
Where is a good (plain and simple, easy to read) reference for xsl, so i know which functions are which?
Anyone got a good answer to that question?

IFRAME in portlet question - possible to call parent function from iframe?

From the iframe I tried to call the parent function by doing this parent.myFunc(). I got a permission denied javascript message. Just curious if anyone has successfully done this. If so please share your thoughts and comments.

Hi,
You will get "Persmission denied" error due to cross site scripting. Either you need to change browser settings to allow cross site scripting or you need to make sure both the URLs fall under same parent domain like both URLs ending with "*.abc.com".
Thanks

Can LabVIEW call a function from a .sys file or is LabVIEW limited to dll access?

My vendor has sent me a .sys file with functions accessing their hardware. Can i call these function from labview directly or do I have to wrapper the .sys with a dll?

Well a sys file is a kernel device driver. LabVIEW does not have any direct way of accessing such a driver. The way kernel drivers are accessed is usually through a DLL which makes calls to WinAPI functions such as CreateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile(), CloseHandle() and DeviceIORequest(). Since these WinAPI calls are basically just DLL calls too, you could theoretically use the Call Library Node to call them and access the kernel device driver in such a way.
However for any kernel device driver with more than one or two device driver calls, it will certainly be easier in terms of development, debugging and maintenance of the code, to write actually a dedicated DLL in C/C++ for this device driver and access that DLL from LabVIEW, especially if you consider the LabVIEW datatype limitations when designing the DLL interface (Basically this same DLL can then be called from any other Windows development environment, be it Visual Basic (similar datatype limitation as LabVIEW), Delphi, (Visual) C, LabVIEW or also various scripting environments like Python and Lua.
Some of the necessary WindAPI calls are rather involved and pose quite a bit of trouble to get the parameter data right in LabVIEw.

Is it possible to call Normal function Module from WD4A , Not RFCs

Is it possible to call Normal function Module(FM) from WebDynPro for ABAP , Not RFCs

There is no difference, unless you are specifically calling the RFC to connect to another system. If so, then you need to add the DESTINATION keyword to the function call and specify the destination name. This name must be defined in SM59. But, if you are not going to another system, you can call the RFC the same way you call the regular function module.

Cannot call CS SDK function from javascript

Hi!
I'm trying it in Illustrator. I'm trying to call the actionscript code from ExtendScript.
I read this two articles: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/634947?tstart=0 and http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Communicating_between_JavaScript_and_the_CS_SDK_us-17383.h tml
They all propose the same technique, like var jsxInterface:HostObject = HostObject.getRoot( HostObject.extensions[ 0 ] )
I'm using the external script (not an embedded one) I added my script to manifest file:
<ScriptPath>./script.jsx</ScriptPath>
And then trying to call jsxInterface.init( this ) which is defined in my jsx file. But with no luck. I just got an exception.
It seems like jsxInterface.init is not defined after all (of course, I defined it in .jsx file)
Is there a way to call a CS SDK function from external ExtendScript script in Illustrator? Or a way to pass "this" object
to javascript for a later access?
Thank you!

Hi Anastasiy,
Weird!
It looks like it does not work during a creationComplete event.
If you change your code to intitialize in a function, and call that function outside the creationComplete event, it works fine. Like so:
ExtendScript:
function initializeJSX(){
try
 alert('SUCCESS! foregroundColor object = '+app.foregroundColor); } catch(e)
 alert('ERROR: '+e.description);
MXML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<csxs:CSXSWindowedApplication
 xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
 xmlns:csxs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*"
 layout="absolute" historyManagementEnabled="false"
 creationComplete="initApplication(event)">
 <mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
 [ Embed (source= "../assets/test.jsx" , mimeType= "application/octet-stream" )]
 private static var _testJSX:Class;
 [Bindable]
 private var hostName:String = HostObject.mainExtension;
 private var jsxManager: HostObject;
 private function initApplication( e: Event ):void
 jsxManager = HostObject.getRoot(HostObject['extensions'][0]);
 jsxManager.eval( new _testJSX().toString() );
 ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center">
 <mx:Button label="Run PS code" click="jsxManager.initializeJSX()" enabled="{hostName.indexOf('photoshop') > -1}"/>
 </mx:VBox>
</csxs:CSXSWindowedApplication>
I presume you can get what you what by calling the function via a timer or some other event...

Can I call a function from a dll in LabVIEW that returns:double*string and int.?

I have a function from a dll that return a double* string and an integer. How can I call this function from LabVIEW? There is a possibility to work in LabVIEW with a double* string?

Two difficulties I can see with this.
First the application seems to allocate the array of references
internally and return a pointer to that array. In that case there must
be another function which then deallocates that array again.
Then you would need to setup the function call to have a pointer to an
int32 number for the deviceList parameter and another pointer to int32
one for the plItems parameter.
Then create another function in your DLL similar to this:
HRESULT WRAPIEnumExtractDevice(WRAPI_NDIS_DEVICE *lpDeviceList, long i,
CHAR lpszDeviceName, LONG lenDeviceName,
CHAR lpszDeviceDesc, LONG lenDeviceDesc)
if (!lpDeviceList)
return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER;
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceName, -1,
lpszDeviceName, lenDeviceName,
NULL, NULL);
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceDescription, -1,
lpszDeviceDesc, lenDeviceDesc,
NULL, NULL);
return NO_ERROR;
Pass the int32 you got from the first parameter of the previous call as
a simple int32 passed by value to this function (and make sure you don't
call this function with a higher index than (plItems - 1) returned from
the first function.

Yes, SAPHTTPA (runs on application server) and/or SAPHTTP (runs on front-end pc), one of which, is required for HTTP communication. So far, nothing too elaborate as far as SOAP goes, but the logic is simplistic. Here's some sample code:
DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'.
TRANSLATE HOST TO LOWER CASE.
MYURL = 'wssrvTest/Service.asmx/GetByOrderItem'.
CONCATENATE HOST MYURL INTO MYURL.
REQUEST_HEADERS-DATA =
 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
APPEND REQUEST_HEADERS.
CLEAR REQUEST_HEADERS.
*........Convert Order Number to External Format........................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = ORDER
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = ORDER.
*........Convert Item Number to External Format.........................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = ITEM
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = ITEM.
*........Convert Material Number to External Format.....................
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = MATERIAL
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = MATERIAL.
CONCATENATE 'sOrder=' ORDER
 INTO REQUEST_BODY-DATA.
APPEND REQUEST_BODY.
CLEAR REQUEST_BODY.
CONCATENATE '&sItem=' ITEM
 INTO REQUEST_BODY-DATA.
APPEND REQUEST_BODY.
CLEAR REQUEST_BODY.
CONCATENATE '&sMaterial=' MATERIAL
 INTO REQUEST_BODY-DATA.
APPEND REQUEST_BODY.
CLEAR REQUEST_BODY.
CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_POST'
 EXPORTING
 ABSOLUTE_URI = MYURL
 RFC_DESTINATION = DEST
 BLANKSTOCRLF = 'X'
 TABLES
 RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY = RESPONSE_BODY
 REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY = REQUEST_BODY
 RESPONSE_HEADERS = RESPONSE_HEADERS
 REQUEST_HEADERS = REQUEST_HEADERS
 EXCEPTIONS
 CONNECT_FAILED = 1
 TIMEOUT = 2
 INTERNAL_ERROR = 3
 TCPIP_ERROR = 4
 DATA_ERROR = 5
 SYSTEM_FAILURE = 6
 COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 7
 OTHERS = 8.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0. "more appropriate msg goes here
LOOP AT RESPONSE_BODY.
 IF RESPONSE_BODY+0(7) <> '<string' AND
 RESPONSE_BODY+0(8) <> '</string' AND
 RESPONSE_BODY+0(5) <> '<?xml'.
 SPLIT RESPONSE_BODY-DATA AT '=' INTO FIELD_NAME FIELD_VALUE.
 TRANSLATE FIELD_NAME TO UPPER CASE.
 CASE FIELD_NAME.
 WHEN 'HEIGHT'.
 HEIGHT = FIELD_VALUE.
 WHEN 'WIDTH'.
 WIDTH = FIELD_VALUE.
 WHEN 'LENGTH'.
 LENGTH = FIELD_VALUE.
 WHEN 'WEIGHT'.
 WEIGHT = FIELD_VALUE.
 WHEN 'QTY'.
 QTY = FIELD_VALUE.
 ENDCASE.
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps...

Possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button?

Hi All,
Is it somehow possible to call a transaction using a macro button in the planning book? Also, the current selection should be passed as input parameters to the transaction.
In my example, I am trying to run the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 - Release to Supply Network Planning from the Demand Planning Planning Book/Data View. This way if planners need to change forecasts mid month for specific selections, they can easily transfer to SNP without having to go out of interactive planning.
Thank you,
Maria

Hello Maria,
It's possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button.
What you can do is ..... Create a function module and inside it use the command "Call Transaction Tcode" (ABAPer can do this) to call ur specific transaction. And this module can in turn be called from your macro. Please find the below link which explanis how to call a function module from a macro. Do let me know if you need more information on this.

Call a function from another software

hello,
Iam working on a program where i have to invoke a function from another software, is there any way i can do that? someone told me that i can use RMI to invoke the function but it seems to me like RMI is mainly for networked and distributed systems. any suggestions? i have an idea in my mind, if the software is programmed using c/c++ i can use the native coding to access the functions, well this is only a blind shot, not sure about it.
asrar

Hey asrar,
It is possible to call external programs from within the JVM. You need to do the following:
Process p = java.lang.Runtime.getInstance().exec("some.exe");
You can then do the following:
p.waitFor();
This will block until the process returns.
The Process class gives you access to 3 streams.
p.getInputStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stdout.
p.getErrorStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stderr.
p.getOutputStream(); returns a stream that allows you to send data to the process.
That is basically all you get.

Can Any one tell me what is the step in calling a function from a *.lib file in Labview application

Hi, I am working on Labview 8.0.
I am trying to communicate to a thrid party HW using the driver file he has provided to me.
The drive file is a *.lib file.
I am unable to call the function from the lib file.
I could get only from a DLL.
Pls help .

When it is possible in Lab Windows, why calling a function from a static library is prohibited?
I was trying to use Function node, but found that it is only for functions from a DLL file.
Will CIN be useful.?
LabWindows is not the same as LabVIEW. LabVIEW cannot call .lib files. LIB files are intermediary products and you need to use a wrapper DLL that's compatible with the object format of the .lib file. It's as simple as that. LabWindows creates C application and from that perspective is no different than a regular C
compiler. That's why you can call .lib files because that's how .lib
files are used.
A CIN, as pointed out, is something completely different and will not help you.

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.
Antonio

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.
