Loading TestStand Engine reference into the runnable objects table

Has anyone ever used the Running Objects Table (ROT) to store the TestStand execution reference so other running programs have access to it?
I have a test sequence that instantiates an ActiveX Exe script engine, then calls the script engine using the activeX adapter steps to run script files. I need to access TestStand context variables from inside one of these scripts, but I can only pass (space delimited) string parameters to the scripts, (I didn't write the interface...) so I don't believe I can pass ThisContext directly.
I'd really appreciate a reply from anyone who has experience storing TestStand references in the ROT (& knows whether this would work), or using any other method of making the TestStand reference available to another running program.
I don't really understand how the ROT works, but I found some DLL calls that register and unregister references in it. I've stumbled about with trying it, but don't really understand what I'm doing.
thanks - Mark

Sorry, found the answer already at this forum.

Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

I presently have a set up where a large SWF file brought on the stage by clicking small icons from the scrollable thumbnail menu on the bottom of the stage. All of it happens at the same frame with .xml loading file.
Here is the code for constructing the ImageLoader(for thumbnails) and SWFLoader for (bigger SWF files)
[CODE]
   function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   _slides = [];
   var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.
   var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have <image /> nodes with all the info we need.
   //loop through each <image /> node and create a Slide object for each.
   for each (var image:XML in imageList) {
    _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,
          image.@description,
          new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",
               name:image.@name + "Thumb",
               width:_THUMB_WIDTH,
               height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,
               //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
               //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69
               scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
               bgColor:0x000000,
               estimatedBytes:13000,
               onFail:_imageFailHandler}),
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
                name:image.@name + "Image",
                width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,
                height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,
                //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                x:0, y:144,
                scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                bgColor:0x000000,
                estimatedBytes:820000,
                onFail:_imageFailHandler})
[/CODE]
Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
[CODE]
var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
[/CODE]
and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
[CODE]
function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
[/CODE]
Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
[CODE]
loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]
But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
[CODE]
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
[/CODE]
and
[CODE]
new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]

Thanks for looking into my issue.
Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
"ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
Everything works fine (with your previous help)
Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler})
Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

Pre-load TestStand Engine

Hi,
I have a CVI application (loaded on Startup of a PC) which calls my modified CVI TestStand Test Executive. When I execute the Test Executive there is a delay while the TestStand engine is loaded.
I would rather have the delay up front so, is there anyway I can pre-load the TestStand engine in my calling CVI application to remove this delay?
Thanks
James.
(CVI 8.0.1, TestStand 3.5)

The best way to do this may be to start up the test executive application immediately in a hidden mode, and then send a command to show it when it is needed.

Loading a .wft file into the database

I have saved my workflow process into a .wft file. I would like to send this file to another person for them to load the process etc into their database. If I open the file, copy the contents of the file (looks like it is some script) into a word document and they then paste those contents into notepad and save the notepad as a .wft file and then upload into the database would this work out? The reason I am asking this question is because, I cannot send them the attachment, but need to write up the contents in a word document.
Thanks

Yes you can do that.

Can content be loaded from one PC into the iCloud and then accessed on another (new) PC?

Can content that's loaded into the iCloud on one PC be accessed from the iCloud on another (new) PC?

I think you have a few of options…
Sign up for iTunes Match
https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
That will allow you to use iCloud to 'match' then download all the songs that are in your library, it will try to replace songs that are available in the iTunes store, or it will copy the files into your iCloud account. This may take a while depending on your internet connection speed. Also see the limitations (like the 25,000 song limit).
Copy the songs over to the new machine
If you create a playlist in iTunes with all the relevant songs you should be able to drag them into a folder on another disk. This can be an USB drive or it could be the other computer (if you can setup how to share the disk & mount it on your old PC).
You can then drag the folder of files into the iTunes Library on the other machine. That will copy all the files, however it will not create the playlists or the restore the play count's etc. It's safest to quit iTunes, open the "Automatically add to iTunes folder" in the media library and drop your files into that folder, then iTunes should import them all for you.
iTunes 9: Understanding the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
Move everything to the new PC
The final option would be to move all of the iTunes files & the library files to the new PC.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer (see the 'external drive' section)
This may not be an option if you have important media in both libraries because it replaces the entire iTunes library.
Also don't forget to deauthorise the old PC if you don't want to use it with iTunes anymore, it's also on that last page I linked.

How to put a value into the Gauge object

Hi Experts
I would like to use the DS_1.getData() command to retrieve data from a query
and place it into a gauge (standard object in DS). What I understand is that
the getData command retrieves a float value and the gauge object expects an integer
value. I didn’t find a float to integer conversion so I tried a work around. It
looked something like this but it did not work:
GAUGE_1.setValue(Convert.stringToInt(Convert.floatToString(DS_1.getData("CKXYNLFBDHH0X2U91711DX83S",
{"ZQMSITEPD":'S999'}).value)));
The value from the float to string conversion holds the decimals like 49,937 and this creates an error in the conversion from
string to int.
Does anyone have an example on how to get data from a DS into a gauge?
Kind regards
Erik

HI Erik, have you tried to use the Convert object?
float can be converted to string with argument "###", this will round all numbers after colon.
eg.
var fullNumber = Convert.floatToString(55.83, "###");
var numberInt = Convert.stringToInt(fullNumber);
APPLICATION.createInfoMessage("Value " + numberInt);
fullNumber = Convert.floatToString(55.23, "###");
numberInt = Convert.stringToInt(fullNumber);
APPLICATION.createInfoMessage("Value " + numberInt);
see for many examples

Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

Hi,
I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance.

You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.

ITunes loads but I cannottype into the search box and all download menues are black. I downloaded several times the latest software. Completly uninstalled McAfee. Nothing helps.

Itunes lo but I cannot type into the search bos. In addition a dropdown menues are black. Downloaded the latest iTune software (several times). Uninstalled McAfee security. Nothing seems to help. I used iTunes for several years...

After using Macs for a number of years at both school and work, I finally ordered an iMac G5 of my own. When the DualDiscs came out I bought a few because I wnated all the content I could get. Attempting to play them on my iMac at work however, proved problematic. The audio side would spin for a few seconds then eject. I was slightly annoyed, but settled for playing the DVD audio versions of the albums as I worked. In my car stereo, the audio would work, but any other player it would not.
When my personal iMac came, I expected the same problem- only the DVD side would play. Imagine my surprise when every DualDisc I attempted to rip (Switchfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds, The Wallflowers, Oasis, David Gray) in iTunes was read and successfully ripped.
So I wonder this- is it as much a problem with older Superdrives not being able to read the thicker discs as anything else?
Or am I an anomaly

How do i reopen a project so it displays in timeline in fce?or how do i load a saved project into the timeline?

having saved project, closed it.
but then when reopening FCE although the NAME of the project appears in tabs, the CANVAS and TIMELINE do not appear.,nor after a couple of days of
trying (my limit with newstuff) I cannot get the project into the timeline complete so i can start to fine edit etc.
do i have to reload each clip again? ie start over or is there a way of reloading the closed project so i can go from where i left off?
hope the cavalry can help....

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

How to extract data into the set-up table for 2LIS_06_INV LIS structure

We are using ECC 6.0 and SAP BI NW 2004S. I activated the 2LIS_06_INV (Invoice Verification) structure. Interestingly, I don't see any Events under this structure (MC06M_0ITM) - my understanding is the events usually determine what type of data is generated for a given structure.
I see Invoice Verification when I use the Inventory Management -Perform Setup option when doing the set-up tables. However, when I use this option, I get a message saying " No extraction structure active or no BW connected".
Can someone list the pre-requisites and the steps to load the set-up table for the 2LIS_06_INV structure.
Thanks,
Sanjay
