IVI virtual name definitions prevent IVI physical names from functioning

I am writing an application using CVI 7.0, which communicates with IVI devices using virtual names (in this instance a Pickering switch).
This works fine.
A colleague is developing several applications on the same equipment using TestStand 3.0 and is attempting to reference the switch device by its physical name.
We have found that once a virtual name has been defined in MAX, attempts to use the physical name fail.
If the virtual name is removed the physical name works again.
We need both applications to communicate with the devices through either virtual or physical names.
Note that only 1 application will run at a time - either TestStand or CVI.
See the attachment for the TestStan
d error response and MAX configuration.

Alan,
The issue is most probably in the specific driver. The error that gets returned in TestStand is BFFA4005 which is a specific driver error (see NI IVI Driver Help). Since we do not have access to the source code of the Pickering driver, you should contact their support channels. Although you said that everything works fine in CVI 7.0 using virtual names, I think you could come across the same issue if you would just use a different order of calls such as Connect, followed by the GetPath, and then SetPath functions.

Updating Virtual Names in NISE Driver Session

I have created a Driver Session in MAX for my VXI Chassis Slot 3 cards. In this Driver Session on the "Virtual Names" tab, I am entering some virtual names that will correspond to the names on our Interface panel -- i.e. the panel of pins that the outside world sees. In other words, the default virtual name M0CH1COM may become SW1_CH1_COM -- or whatever. I plan to go and create a Virtual Device after this, and when I load the IVI switches for this driver session into the Virtual Device, I will see my virtual names in the IVI Channel column instead of the default physical names.
Suppose I have a great number of these virtual names to enter for a particular driver session, and at this point I only want to enter half of the virtual names into the Driver Session. Once I am convinced that our system is stable, then I will enter the rest of the virtual names into the Driver Session. Is there any way in NISE to get the "last half" of the virtual names from the Driver Session into the Virtual Device that I have created already? I can see where I would have built hardwires, routes, route groups, etc. in the existing Virtual Device, but I'm not sure I know of a way to get the updated Driver Session info into the existing virtual device?
A simpler case of this would be if someone just forgot to enter a virtual name or two into a driver session. They might get further down the road in development, and find that they overlooked a few virtual names. Is there any way for them to go back, enter in those new virtual names, and have the Virtual Device recognize these virtual names?
When I tried to do this -- I could not find a way to get the new virtual names to be recognized by the existing Virtual Device. The only way I found to make it work was to create a new virtual device -- and doing this will cause me to lose my "custom" info in the virtual device.
Any ideas?

Harv,
I guess this question is related to your previous post.
When you enter virtual channel names in the driver session, the IVI specific driver is supposed to pass these names to NISE. If this is the case, then NISE will show the virtual channels and not the physical channel names. The virtual channel names need to be created before importing a switch in a NISE virtual device.
If you forgot to name a few channels in the driver session and already created a NISE virtual device you will not be able to go back and give virtual channel names to the remaining channels.
Let's assume that your new driver has the exact same topology, connections, channel number etc than the old driver but some channel names are different. CH0 is now name Channel0 and CH1 is now Channel1.
What you could do is export you configuration into an xml file, open the xml file with a text editor (notepad), search for the CH0 and CH1 and replace them with Channel0 and Channel1 respectively. You also need to point to the new IVI specific driver. Now, Create a new NISE virtual device by importing the changed xml file. When you open this new NISE virtual device, it should see that the channels names (Channel0 and Channel1) correspond to the names in the new ivi specific driver and you should not have a problem using it. You would not have to redo your entire configuration.
This will work if ONLY the channel names have changed. If anything else have changed this would not work and you would have to create a new NISE virtual device.

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

Prevent document name from appearing in named destinations?

Is there a way to prevent the InDesign document name from appearing as part of the named destinations that get automatically generated when exporting to PDF?
For example, I add a text anchor named "Help" to a particular heading in an InDesign document; I want a named destination in the exported PDF file that is simply named "Help" but instead the named destination in the PDF appears in this format:
InDesignDocumentName.indd:Help
(I understand I can modify the named destination in the PDF file, but that solution won't work for what I need to do.)
I am using CS5 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Nichols

Links can have destinations to more than one document, therefore the Destination name: will need to declare what document it is referencing, even if only one doc is used.
However on the mac I was able to save a document with just a space, and no file extension. In the PDF for the link properties and destination name I see this: Destination name: :Help

Get Logical file name from Physical file name

Make one virtual name server HTTPS only

I am using OFM 11.1.7 and using Web Cache, OHS and WebLogic. I have multiple virtual name servers defined in OHS. I would like to enforce that one of them is only connected via HTTPS and any HTTP requests are redirected to the HTTPS version. I tried the obvious thing, using mod_rewrite in the virtual server configuration in OHS to redirect any HTTP requests:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Of course since all the traffic from the Web Cache to OHS is using HTTP this simply causes an endless loop of redirects.
So I am wondering if there is a header or something sent by Web Cache I can use to tell if the original request used HTTPS. Alternatively if there is a way to configure this at the Web Cache level, that would work as well. Otherwise I think I am going to end up with some Frankenstein configuration that will be featured on http://www.thedailywtf.com in 2018.

Hi,
Try with the below rewrite in OHS:
<VirtualHost *:80>
        RewriteEngine on
        ReWriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
        RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R,L]
</VirtualHost>
In WebCache, you can configure the connection to the Origin Server to be SSL: Configuring Security
Let me know if this solves your issue.

Extracting method names from JNI probes

Hello.
I would like to use the Call* probes from the hotspot_jni provider. These probes provide as argument a "method id". My question is how I can extract, for instance, the method name from this ID. I saw that JNI provides a method "GetMethodName" but being a dtrace novice, I am unsure how to obtain a handle to the JNI api from within dtrace.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Eric

Actually, it can be done. Otherwise, how do you think debugger shows variables and formal parameters?
You should compile your aplication with debuginng information (for details see tools doc). Then you have 3 options:
1) run application under debugger and use JVMDI to get everything you want;
2) use bytecode libraries (BCEL, CGLib etc) to read class file and fetch required information through their API
3) write your own class file parser based on class file format described in Java Virtual Machine Specification
First way is quite complex and is definitely not for "production use".
Second way is the best in case you have time limitations, but size of your application will be increased because of thrid-party libraries.
Thrid way is the best if you have application size restrictions and have enough time to write simple class file parser to fetch that specific information (1-2 days depending on your experience).
Have fun ;)

No Hyperv Virtuals get DHCP address - but Physical Host Can

HyperV Server 2012 Core on a dedicated machine on local domain.
Machine connected directly into local network that has a DC running DHCP.
None of the VM's can get a DHCP Address from the server. Even if i set static addresses still they cannot route anywhere, cannot even ping the HyperV server they are sat on but other local machines can!!!!
The physical host cant ping the
The physical HyperV server has no problem getting a DHCP address or any routing issues, nor do any of the other clients on the local network, including another HyperV server running server VM's
What ive tried so far
Deleted Virtual Switch and removed the NIC from the virtual hosts in HyperV Manager- then re-adding new one.
Put in a different network card
Removed Physical host from Domain, renamed machine to different name and re-joined
Used different IP addresses for the Physical host
Reloaded the HyperV server from scratch and created new VM.
Ive had HyperV previously running on this machine without problem, so now i cant see why i cant get it running again.
Anybody have any suggestions on what i can try next, im all out of ideas.

Hi Fulgent,
I am assuming that , the hyper-v server have two NICs , one for host and the other one was configured as an external switch for VMs .
If the VMs can not access the dhcp and local network , please try to delete the external switch then uninstall the Physical NIC in device manager and click " scan for hardware changes " to reload it.
Try to create external virtual switch for VMs again .
Any further information please feel free to let us know .

Mail fails to recognize names from address book

My information in address book shows as follows
Name: J Doe
Email address: [email protected]
If someone has me in their address book as Doe John and sends an email to me at my email address ([email protected]), Mail.app does not recognize me and asks me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
The same happens if a sender has a minor change in the Name (such as even a dot in the name) of any recipient, regardless of the fact that I have the correct name in the address book. Mail fails to recognize the recipient even though the email address is identical, and will ask me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
One would expect Mail to use just the email address and recognize the contact as already being in the Address Book.
I just spent a good three hours investigating this.
There have been numerous posts discussing this both here and elsewhere over the years but I'm surprised that there has not been a solution. Here are some examples..
1. Mail can't recognize my contact email address
2. Address Book editing
3. Mail doesn't show names from the Address Book
In the 3rd example above, Golden Shoes suggests that this is the same for every email client, but I must disagree because Postbox and Thunderbird does display the information correctly from the Address Book, infact Postbox does this impressively I must add.
It would be great if this was fixable in Mail. Is there a solution for this?

I followed your suggestions.
Both AB and AB within Mail were empty of contacts after I deleted my iCloud contacts from the mac. I even did a reboot just in case. After this, I rechecked contacts and all my contacts appeared again both in AB and AB within Mail.
I quit and reopened Mail to find that the problem still persisted. I know and rechecked that these contacts are not present in my previous recipients list so it is definitely not that database which is preventing this.
The funny thing (maybe not funny since this is really bugging me) is that Mail on iOS (iPhone) works just fine. The Mail on iPhone seems to query the sender/recipient email address, accurately realizes that the contact is already in the AB, and shows as such. The same email in Mail.app on the mac asks me if I want to add the contact to AB.
Is this really a unique situation? Is everyone else not experiencing the same?
If you ask someone to change your name within their address book and send an email to you, does Mail on the mac recognize you regardless of what that sender named you as? Or does it ask you to add to AB?

How do I write javascript for a text block to extract name from signature block?

Hello,
I've created a training certificate that the trainee has to sign electronically. To prevent someone from simply putting in their friends name in there and saving it; to send to their friend and help them from having to take the training and quiz I would like to write a javascript in the text block that would extract the name from their signature block and autofill the name in the text block. Is there a way to do this?

You would have to use JavaScript to access the signature field object and then you can access the various properties of the signature depending upon the certificate or method for signing.
signatureInfo
console.show();console.clear();
// Get particular info;
var f = this.getField("Signature1");
// uses the ppklite sig handler;
var Info = f.signatureInfo();
// Some standard signatureInfo properties;
console.println("name = " + Info.name);

Offline Folder can not chaange the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase

Dear Expert,
we deploy the offline folder to end users, there is a strange issue happened now, if user tries to change the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase, the system will show "You need permission to perform this aciton". But other actions
are fine, like, create, delete, rename, etc.

Hi,
Please check if the offline folder is made available offline to end users. The Offline Files feature uses the client-side cache (CSC) database. When the files are made available offline, the CSC database prevents users from changing the case of file
names.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
You cannot rename files by using different case when the files are made available offline in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

How to programmatically retrieve the real field name from a view object ?

Dear all,
when I map a business component (a database table) to a view, the fields are automatically converted by JDeveloper, for example, a field named 'user_id' in the oracle table definition, becomes 'userid' in the view.
The question: how can I retrieve the right table column name from within a backing bean ? Please explain also what should I bind and how; should I use an iterator ?
Another more: since we can change the label of a field on a view, how can then I get the mapping between the column name on the view and the column name on the table in the database ?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio.

Hi Timo,
many thanks for your answer.
The rest of my question: you know we can drop a view from the DataControls onto a ADF page, with each field of the table having a label.
That label is initially set like the internal table field name, so for instance, if user_id is the real table field name, userid will be the (by JDeveloper) internal renamed table field name, and the label would be userid too.
If I then change the label text to, for example, "myUserid", the question is: how can I know which real table field does "myUserid" point to ?
In other words, when my form is submitted, I want to know which field name has been changed and prepare an update sql in a bean.
For this purpose I bind each view field to a validator function in the bean, and collect al the pairs "label_name + submitted value" in an hash table.
Now inorder to build up that update query, I need the mapping between the label_name ("myUserid") and the real table field name ("user_id"). The question: how to map the label to the real table field name ?
By the way, I'm using JDeveloper 11g rel. 2.
Regards,
Sergio.

Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?

hi,
does oracle's licensing for 11g express edition prohibit running XE databases on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine? if not, does the machine have to be "hard partitioned" per oracle specifications (link below) to make it legal?
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
i found a similar question regarding 10g express edition in the forum (link below), but it doesn't seem like the question was ever definitively answered.
Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
thanks

I thought until I just checked that this was a clear cut no in that it specifies 'a single server'. Now I'm not sure as 'server' is an amibuous term. I at least know that as soon as you start giving developers access to theor own XE instance for dev/testing that there are many VM environments where you can't really know what physical macine your VM is running on to actually be able to tell if you had multiple XE instances running on a single 'Physical' server. I'm not sure the question has been answered by Oracle though.

Is there any way to remove my name from the profil...

Is there any way to remove or prevent my profile from appearing in the profile search directory? I'm so tired of ALL the unwanted contact requests. Yeah I know I don't have to add them but this shouldnt even be a problem in the first place. If I want to add someone to add me I'll give them my skype name.

Hi, Phnxbane, and welcome to the Community,
You may certainly remove all profile data by leaving those settings as "blank" or "not specified." I find the easiest way to do this is to open the profile settings from within the Skype "client" software.
Removing/deleting an account name from the Skype search directory closes the account. More details about this can be found here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'

Elaine
