Item names in a strictly typed ring control do not update.

I have a custom control (strict typedef) that contains one ring control. When I added item names to the strict type def, they do not get updated on the instances where I am using it.

Thanks for your response. However, I found the following sentence in the link LabVIEW custom controls ...
"A strict type definition forces almost everything about the control or indicator to be identical, including cosmetic properties such as size, color, and appearance. Strict type definitions also define other values, such as range checking on numeric controls and the item names in ring controls."
It turns out that the item names get updated if the ring control has sequential values associated with the items, but does not get updated if the values associated with the items are not sequential.
I chose text rings over enums
because I wanted the value associated with the items to be non-sequential for this particular control.
Once again, thanks for your response.

How to create a strictly typed refnum control using LabVIEW scripting

I wish to use LabVIEW scripting to create a strictly-typed refnum control that is bound to my custom control (a type-defined cluster), but I'm unfamiliar with scripting and can't see how to do it.
If I create a New VI Object, using Control Refnum as the Style, how do I provide my custom control to the VI Object Class terminal? When I try using a reference to my custom control.ctl file (using Open VI reference) I get an error: "Error 1057 occurred... Type mismatch: Object cannot be cast to the specified type."
Or, if I create a new Control Refnum as above, using a standard Cluster as the VI Object Class, how do I then convert this refnum control to a strictly typed refnum that is bound to my custom cluster control type?
Thanks in advance for any advice,

You have to create a new Control VI and then specify the VI Type as Typedef.

Control file not updated till date in RAC two node database

Hi,
Good day.
To my surprise i found that control files, in our database RAC with two nodes, are not updated till date except one from node 1 and another from node 2.
But we got all the controlfile names in the init parameter file, in both the nodes.
Node 1
bash-3.00$ ls -lrt
total 922128
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Nov 3 2007 cntrl03.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Nov 3 2007 cntrl02.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Apr 12 17:21 cntrl01.dbf
Node 2
bash-3.00$ ls -lrt
total 922128
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Mar 30 09:17 cntrl03.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Mar 30 09:17 cntrl02.dbf
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 157286400 Apr 12 17:20 cntrl01.dbf
As you could see cntrl01.dbf is the only file updated till date in both the nodes. The database is running fine.
what is actually happening?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Balu.

As you're using RAC it is very likely that you are using an SPFILE.
Connect as a DBA account (or an account with SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privileges) in both the instances and do "show parameter spfile" and "show parameter control" (or query V$parameter)
It is likely that the spfile is referencing only 1 controlfile.

SC Item in Transfer process active - follow on document status not updated

Hi Gurus,
    Follow on document is not updated in SRM after PO creation. Ours is classic scenario (SRM 5.5, ECC6.0) and passed thru the following steps - SC (FFT) created, document approved, sent to SoCo, purchaser assigned vendor and created PO, PO created in ECC.
In SRM SoCo screen displays message 'PO created 45xxxxxxxxxx' successfully. Checked the BE PO 45xxxxxxx that was created successfully.
Ran BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP jobs. jobs finished successfully. But status is not updated in SRM. RZ20/SLG1 does not have any errors.
BBP_PD shows following statuses:
     I105   Awaiting Approval         X
     I1021 Created
     I1038 Complete
     I1106 SC ordered
     I1129 Approved
     I1111 Item in Transfer process
                    The last status I1111 is still active.
Any advise are welcome. Not sure if I am missing any OSS Notes.
Regards
Viktor Paul

Hi,
1. Check in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB if the entry exists use CLEAN_REQREQ_UP program.
2. If entry in the table not exists then check in transaction BBP_PD if the follow on document ( PO ) Number reserved for
the SC .. then use FM BBP_PD_SC_RESUBMIT.
3. none of these use normal process execute BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER And then use CLEAN_REQREQ_UP

TMS 14.4.1 snapshots in Monitoring Conference Control Center not updating

Snap shots in the Conference Control Center are not updating.
We are using TMS 14.4.1, Java 7 update 51 on the server.
All are C-Series (c20 or c60) endpoints running version TC7.1.4 bridged with an MCU (MSE 8510)
All end points have web snapshot enabled
I have tried using Java 7, update 51 and the current version on the Windows 7 desktop.

Hi Patrick,
We don't have a conductor, so that may be one point of difference between yours and mine, but the original poster didn't mention any conductor or MCU, and his screen grab looks like a simple point to point call.
There were issues in versions of TMS prior to 14.4 with the websnapshots in CCC - this is mentioned in the release notes as an "other change": "Enabled Conference Control Center snapshots for systems running Cisco TelePresence TC software version 6 and later."

Possible Bug: Ring Constant Typedef not updating...

I have a ring constant control which is set as a strict type def.
If I select an instance of the control in my block diagram and "open typedef", I can edit the values no problem.
I then click "apply changes" and "save" and would expect all changes to propagate to every instance of this control (as it works with every other control I use). If I run the code and watch the values, they are maintained as the previous version of the control.
If I delete the instance of the control and then add it again, the new values are found.
This is frustrating, as I have to delete and re-add every instance whenever I change something. I haven't seen this behaviour in other controls as the "apply changes" has always worked as I expected.
Anybody seen this before?
I am using LabVIEW 2012, SP1, Build 12.0.1 (32-bit).
Thanks,
Matt

Problem : controls & indicators not updated when programatically open Front Panel

Hi,
I have a strange problem when I want to progamatically open the front panel of a sub-vi: for some sub-vis the controls and indicatores are correctly updated while for others they are not (ie the controls show outdated values).
I have created an example here that illustrate this. The 2 sub-vis are *exactly* the same, but only one shows updated controls when I open it (with the sub-vi previously closed of course).
How is that possible?
What do I have to do to have the controls updated to the last value of the *last call* when I open the sub-vi?

mhmmm,....no that is NOT the reason... Have you tried the VI???
Honnestly, I would not bother people on this forum for such a stupid mistake.
And I also expect people to know how to run a VI....
And to play in your game, you forgot -3) Turn on the PC, -2) log in windows, -1) open labview...
Well, I DID run your VI and everything worked just fine, however I no longer have LabVIEW 7.1 so maybe your observation no longer applies to newer versions. It could also be because they were just upgraded as Ben noted. I did not study it in detail.
And Yes, as Ben noted, invisible VIs don't get updated for performance reasons (and not to waste extra data copies for the controls and indicators). LabVIEW is typically smart enought to update when needed, e.g. if the subVI tries to print its panel, etc.
I guess you haven't been in this forum for too long, but since controls can easily be operated in edit mode is is absolutely important to mention at which step you run the VI. (try to operate your controls with the computer turned off and you will see that it is not that easy ). Also if you have been programming for any length of time, you should know that stupid mistakes happen all the time (at least to me and Ben ). It is much easier to weed out the stupid mistakes with a quick question&answer than to spend hours searching for a deep and complex solution.

Control styles not updating

Hello, I'am trying to dynamically update styles of various controls but once the app is visible no further style changes take effect. This has worked on older builds but not on build 42.
When I run the following I get a red TextArea rather than green.
public class Test extends Application{
    @Override public void start(Stage stage) {
        Group root = new Group();
        TextArea obj = new TextArea();
        obj.setPrefWidth(200);
        obj.setPrefHeight(100);
        obj.setTranslateX(200);
        obj.setTranslateY(150);
        obj.setStyle("-fx-background-color:RED;");
        root.getChildren().add(obj);
        stage.setTitle("Test");
        stage.setResizable(false);
        stage.setWidth(600);
        stage.setHeight(400);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        scene.setFill(Color.WHITE);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
        obj.setStyle("-fx-background-color:GREEN;");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test.launch(args);
}

Always good to have a server space somewhere so you can de-bug and test pages before they go live.
Is it possible you disabled CSS in your browser?
Did you save the page as Some_name.html BEFORE linking to the external CSS?
Do a Find (Ctrl+F) for file:// in the source code of your page. If you find any instances of file:// that usually points to a path on your local hard drive instead of the local site folder. Resolve this and you should see styles again.
If the answer is NO to all of the above, run your code through the on-line validation tools below my signature, and fix any reported errors.

Ring Control Output is the Item name and not the value

Hello. I am new to Labview. I am experimenting with labview and just creating simple VI's to learn about the software. I have placed a ring control and attached an indicator to that ring control. I thought that the purpose of a ring control was to select an item and output a value. For example, I have placed 3 items in the ring properties (Red, Blue, Yellow) and given those items values of 1,2,3. But when I run the VI and select Blue, I was expecting the indicator attached to the control to read 2 but instead it says 'Blue' (same for other items as well). What am I misunderstanding here or doing incorrectly? I have also attached a screenshot.

Your indicator is another ring that has the same name value pairs, so it is going to display the name associated with the value. Delete the ring indicator and just drop in a regular numeric indicator. Then it will show you the value.

How to add items dynamically to the DropDown Ring control in Web UI Builder

Hi All,
Is there any way to add the item names to DropDown Ring Control in Web UI Builder?
Or
Is there any other control available to make selection in the Front Panel which can be dynamically loaded?
Thanks,
Alagar

We do not currently have a solution for populating the items in a ring dynamically.
Thanks for the clarification.
Seems incredible after all these years that such functionality (dynamically populating a ring control) is still beyond Labview. I must be missing something.
However, I'd suggest a combobox is closer than a listbox as a workaround.
[edit]
nevermind, it actually can be done (well, maybe not in the webUI), I found the explanation here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FB0409491FAB16FA86256D08004FCE7E

Reference behaviour of strictly typed controls

I have a question regarding the bahaviour of a user-made cluster which I have set to strictly typed.
I am using a reference to this cluster (Which in turn contains other clusters) to automatically read an ini file. I also have an array within one of these sub-clusters (Main Cluster - Sub-Cluster - Array). I want to set the values within this array (The elements of which are also clusters) using only the reference to the control. This works fine, except for the fact that I cannot programatically set the index of the array if my control is strictly typed. If I change the control to type-def, it works.
Is this normal behaviour, and if so, can someone please tell me why? Does it have to do with altering the appearan
ce of the control?
Thanks in advance
Shane.

I assume you mean "strict" type-def.

How to change the numbers of items in a ring control in run time ?

Hi !
I would like change the numbers of items in a ring control in run time, but I can´t.
Thanks.

Hello blaze,
did you try the "Strings And Values []" property of the ring?
LabView7.1 help says:
Array of clusters containing the strings from which you can select in the ring control
and the numeric values for each item. Use the Strings [] property if you do not need to
assign specific numeric values to each item.
Best regards,
GerdW
