Is there a cook book method for creating an exe out of Teststand ?

I'm trying to port Teststand to a target machine. I want to use LV 6.0 Operator Interface on the target machine also. EXACTLY what steps do I have to preform to get the Operator Interface, all my VI's that Teststand uses in my particular application and all the engines I need to run what was written on the Developmental station onto the Target machine. I couldn't find the operator interface in LV manual and the Teststand book was terrible to follow.

Hello Clint -
The unfortunate problem with the manual is that it has to cover all possible variations of a deployment scenario, and as a result it gets a little jumbled. There is usually a fairly point-by-point document available on the web, sadly it is down this week for edits for new TestStand 3.0 material but I will attach below a word documents with the contents of the tutorial valid for a TestStand 2.0.x / LabVIEW solution as this may help.
In general, the super-short list of events goes as follows:
(1) Deploy TestStand Run Time Engine (use the Wizard in the tools menu)
(2) Use your 'testexec.bld' file (in the OI's folder)as a short cut in LabVIEW for creating a functioning EXE and installer for your interface. Not that this works best if yo
u have a default interface, you'll have to handle any additional files yourself.
(3) Carry your code and support files (this can be integrated into step 1 if you want) however you want.
Naturally the issues arise when you have custom components or nonstandard situations, read the attached doc below for the 'long list' that covers the details.
If you're using TestStand 3.0 there are new tools that can make this process faster/easier but it sounds as though you're working with a fairly finished system so I won't go into those right now. If there is a particular part of the process you are concerned about, feel free to post again and we will focus on just that.

Suggested method for creating flash video?

I've searched through the forums and see that Apple seems to want to make things difficult for creating flash video for some reason. Regardless of why, does anyone have a suggestion for a simple solution to take a QuickTime movie file and convert/export it to flash video? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just the ability to end up with a flash file of my video. Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm really trying to find something for use on my Mac. Or perhaps I'm trying to do something that isn't even necessary... What's the recommended method for creating good-quality video from my Mac to be used on the web? Flash stuff seems to have a great quality for smaller file sizes. Is there a comparable format I could use on my Mac to get similar results which most web users could open without installing some additional software to read it?

Are there BAPI or function modules for creating posting address ?

Are there BAPI or function modules for creating posting address and budget address? We are currently use BDC program and T code FMBSPO_MULT (Posting address) and T code FMBSBO_MULT(budget address), but it is a very slow processing because we have thousands of funds centers.
Your input will be appreciated!

4.6C method for creating a Maintenance Order

Hi,
We have a requirement to create and update maintenance orders on a 4.6C system. The scenario is that we need to programmatically mimic what users can do in IW31 and IW32. The BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN function module is not available on this system (SAP delivered that BAPI in a later version.) We've looked at IBIP but it does not offer structures for order data. Using "call transaction" and BDC data structures directly seems to be an option but difficult to implement and prone to error.
What other options exist for creating/updating maintenance orders on a 4.6C system? Thanks in advance for any information or examples you can provide.
-Jason

Ok. I've actually figured out how this works.
I'll post what I've found out in case it helps anyone else.
The parameters seem to be: ( with my example data in brackets)
I_AUFNR order number
I_VAPLZ work center ( MAINT.)
I_VAWRK plant ( 0001)
I_PLNTY Task list type = ( A )
I_PLNNR Task list group ( 55)
I_PLNAL Task list group counter ( 1)
The problem I have is that this bapi is not released, and it is not remote enabled.
Are there any released BAPIs that would do the same thing?
Or would I need to write my own remote-enabled BAPI that calls this one, and then try to call my BAPI ( using .NET Connector ) ?
Thanks,
Derek

Is there any alternatives to Configurator for creating custom Photoshop panels?

I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me.
So I was surprised that Adobe decided to stop supporting flash panels, starting with version CC 2014. I want to update Photoshop to CC 2014 but am unable to do so due to my custom panels (which DOES NOT work in said version!!): I would be handicapping myself by upgrading the software.
I've looked around for alternatives, but so far I haven't found any decent replacement to Configurator for creating HTML5-based panels. I know about PsTools but it appears to be limited to Tools only, and I need to both create a custom toolbar as well as custom panels for my most used filters and selection -actions. Also I know there's an API for creating HTML5 panels now, but I'm a 3D Artist - not a C++ programmer.
So what exactly are the alternative here?

Acrobat 7 - is there a menu entry somewhere for "Create Link" (other than in the context menu)?

I need to create internal PDF hyperlinks with the link tool on selected text -- however I need the links to be created via the normal application menu, and not from the context menu (i.e. not via "right-click --> "create link").
However, I can't find a menu command for "create link" anywhere.
Help is greatly appreciated.
David.P

Thanks -- however, context menu items do tend to be duplicates of application menu items as you can see from any application of your choice.
The link tool does not help since it is not capable to
> create internal PDF hyperlinks on selected text
Therefore I really am looking for an application menu item for creating a hyperlink (similar like with the highlighting of selected text via "Comments" --> "Edit Text" --> "Highlight Selected Text", to be found a second time under "Tools" --> "Commenting" --> "Edit Text" --> "Highlight Selected Text").

What is the best method for creating a simple DVD from X?

Now that I no longer have DVD SP on my system, I need to know the preferred method of creating a simple menu driven DVD. The DVD needs to have a simple (one click) since the local cable company needs that so it will trigger at a specified time. I shoot in 720p 60. The DVD is SD. I do have Toast, Compressor, and iDVD on the computer. Any input will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Tom

Thanks Luis.
Can't beleive I missed that. I am so used to using Compressor or Toast. This method works great. Thanks.
Best.

Best methods for creating e-books from FrameMaker 10 (TCS 3.5)

I would like to know your thoughts on which of the following methods is the best, and easiest, way to create e-books from FrameMaker. I will most likely be using Calibre to do the file conversion.
(1) Using File > Publish > ePub to create an ePub file, which can then be imported into Calibre.
(2) Using the File > Save Book As > HTM command (which creates a separate HTML file for each FM file), editing the HTML files in RoboHelp (or another HTML editing tool), then importing all of the HTML files into Calibre.
Note that when I published to HTML from FM, it appears that only an output file was created from RoboHelp, as I could not find any HTML files were actually created. Is that the case, or was I just not looking for the HTML files in the right place?
If anyone has any other recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!

I linked the FrameMaker book to RoboHelp, then generated an ePub file from RoboHelp, and have a couple of issues.
(1) When I open the ePub file in Calibre and Adobe Digital Editions, there is no contents section within the book. The only contents is the contents in the navigation bar. How do I generate a contents to appear in the front of the ebook, or do I have to create that manually in RH? I did specify the settings in RH to convert the FM contents.
(2) The ePub file looks much better in Calibre than Adobe Digital Editions. Should I be concerned about this? Which viewer should I rely on?

Best method for creating a collection.

hi,
i've written a loop which specifies the content of a name,age and location String for each time it goes through the loop.
I've also created a Person() class which has the ability to set these strings as its variables.
What would be the best collection to use for putting together lots of Person() objects each with their own variables(set by the loop).
I've tried using an Person[] and using the variable i to set a person for each location for example
person [] people = new person[100]
int i = 0
public void loadPeople()
for(i = 0; i < 100; i++){
name = //Changing variable read from text file;
age = //changing variable read from text file;
location = //changing variable read from text file;
people[i] = new Person(name, age, location);
}however if i use the method
System.out.println("people[1].name");i get "null"; and name is definately public.
So i was wondering basically if there is something else a little better to use as a collection.
Thanks
Richard.

<wearing psychic hat>
I bet the constructor looks amazingly similar to this:
public Person(String name, int age, String location)
name = name;
age = age;
location = location;
}</wearing psychic hat>
Am I right?
If so, think about what this means.
name = name;
Assigns the value of a variable to itself. Not terribly useful, huh?
How about this instead?
this.name = name;
Assigns the value of the local name parameter to the attribute named 'name' of this object.

Is there a tool or method for editting line elements on a pdf form?

We have recently created about 200 different acrobat forms with field elements. We started with MS Word and converted to PDF using Acrobat Professional then we added in the form elements. However the customer wants many lines removed or modified, table borders changed etc. Is there a tool out there that will allow me to edit the pdf directly and delete a line or fill in a gap in a table? We do not want to revert back to the word versions and start all over again.
As an example please view this file: http://kendallrace.com/cas.pdf We need to remove that half outlined table cell in the upper left, we need to remove the underlines in the middle of the page. And sometimes the border of a table cell might not be outlined so we need to draw a line to finish the outline.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Trent

Thanks a lot george, that appears to have worked great. Thank you!!!

Is there a command line method for publishing/deploying reports?

Is it possible to publish/deploy reports using the command line?
Also, it is possible to change the datasource for a report via some command line option?
I am developing the reports locally (Win XP), and then checking them into source control. They need to be deployed to a BO Server for Dev, Test and Prod.
I would like to be able to create a script to deploy the reports into the different environments.
In addition, the datasource needs to be changed before deploying to TEST (since it is on the same server as DEV, just a different port). Having to manually open each report and change the datasource as the reports are migrated could get to be time consuming as the number of reports increases.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Paul,
No, but you can do all of this using one of our SDK's. Look for samples above or from this WIKI:

Best method for creating a PDF Brochure???

Hello,
I would like to create a printable PDF brochure and post it on my website [url deleted by host]. I’ve tried just using the existing web pages and think I could get something better looking starting from scratch. I just started working with Acrobat 9 extended and am not too familiar with it’s potential. Any suggestions whether I should do it all in Acrobat, or use a different program and import it. I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite 4 with Fireworks and Illustrator.
Thanks.

Use whatever desktop publishing application that you have then use Acrobat to print to a PDF. Do
n't use Acrobat for the layout. That's not what it is for.

Has anyone a legit method for creating pixel perfect graphics in Illustrator CC2014?

AI does not align the sides of rectangles precisely to pixel grid no matter what I do. I have even set the grid lines to 1px, tried to input the size and coordinates by hand but the setting jumps back to funny numbers like 213,004 px. I have a workaround for lines - though also very tedious: setting the length and the coordinates by hand - the position must be 0,5 pixel otherwise the precision breaks down when imported into PS.. it is frustrating that AI cann´t align automatically to pixels, but it´s surprising that input by hand doesn´t seem to work either. please help!

while struggling around, I have unchecked “snap to pixel grid“.. this eliminated the funny numbers problem .. the coordinates and size stay the same now (who would expect this ) .. still it is very tedious to type everything, that´s why I´m still looking for a trick to make pixel-sharp edges without the need of typing the numbers - if there is any.
