Making the 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor know about custom partner types

In R3, I've added two new partner types that can be assigned to an order: Z4 - Reseller and Z7 - End User.
I've coded a user exit to populate these two fields.
The problem I am having is that on an order change, if the user changes only the customer numbers of these two partners, the 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor does not see that the order changed and does not send before/after images to BW.
I understand that these are not standard partner types which the extractor is coded to determine if there's been a change. However how can I make the extractor know that I want to send changes to these two partner types to BW?

Hi,
you need to enhance the extract structures in the old LIS exits.
MCS10001 for Orders
MCS50001 for deliveries
MCS60001 for invoices
there you have the x- and y-tables available (like in the sd-user-exit save-document_prepare) and can control the update of pre an after images.
the you need to raise the event that allows the extractor "to extract". It fairly complex as far as I know.
is it an option to model the two partner roles as Navigational attribute to Document-Number? It's far easier and you can maintain document as line item dimension in the cube and you will always have the current PartnerRole.
much easier as above described extraction ...

Put the report into shape for custom step type

Hi All,
I created a custom step type and also managed to get the results logged into the report file.
In the report file(See ‘[15 33 14][22 10 2007].xml.vi’ please remove the 'vi' extension) the 'StepResult' (created by my custom step type) appears just below the status. Is it possible to get it displayed somehow the cell(measurement column) next to it, like in a Numeric Limit Step? I’m using the ‘horizontal.xsl’ stylesheet and Teststand 3.5.
Furthermore, is it possible to change the name of the column headers? Or the structure of the header?
Cheers
Attila

Hi again Attila,
Further to my above post, I've collaborated with colleagues here and have been able to modify the horizontal.xls stylesheet such that it is suitable for what you require. This modification will ensure that all properties named StepResult will be displayed as you described, in line in the table.
To ensure compatibility with your results in TestStand, a small modification to your sequence file is required. In your sequence file, right click the value for your custom step, go to Advanced > Edit Flags and uncheck all boxes. The text in the bottom of the window should now read "0x0". This should mean that your data is displayed correctly.
I am attaching the modified horizontal.xls for you to use [remove the .vi extension]; please make sure a backup is created before you replace it. The file should be placed in your TestStand directory under Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\StyleSheets. Modifications to column headers as described in the above post can be made to this file.
I hope this soultion is satisfactory and that you are able to implement it. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reply.

Creating a step type "launcher" that would insert the appropriate built-in or custom step type at edit time

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for tips, pointers,directions... to be able to perform this operation in TS 4.0 sequence Editor, if it's even possible...
I'm managing a test system with a "home-made" virtual instruments abstraction Layer complementary to IVI classes for instruments which do not have classes defined, customizing the sequence editor accordingly for developpers of my department.
So basically when the instrument is IVI, the developper uses the built-in IVI step-type type and when it is not, he uses the the custom step types that I developped for this particular class of instruments.
However there are classes where I do have both IVI and specific drivers available and I do need to use both in the test sequence.
For example let's say there are two sources of DC power available in the testbench, one being a programmable IVI compliant DC power supply, and the other one composed of fixed "blocks" of DC power supply managed by externals relays and you need to use them both in the test sequence.
What I would like to be able to do in the sequence editor is inserting the appropriate step type at edit time just by selecting the source of power supply (by a ring or enum for eg), and if the first ressource is selected, it inserts IVI step type, and if the second ressource is chosen, it inserts the appropriate custom step type.
Any Ideas on how to accomplish this ?

Hello Cyril,
Here is an idea that could be done:
You could create a dynamic step by having a step that holds all the properties for both configurations (the superset of the necessary variables) and an extra one that indicates which 'mode' the step is in. Then you create the main Edit substep in whichever language you desire. That substep window will then have a box/dropdown/etc. at the top you can use to choose between modes A & B. When the user changes the value, you would dynamically change the rest of the window to contain the appropriate properties for mode A or B. You then copy the property values in that window to the Step properties, and copy the mode to your variable and you can run the step in that mode. When the step then runs, it checks the mode variable, and depending on its value, it will run the step in mode A or B.
Now we could add a dialog that allows us to choose when we put a step down but we should still allow the user to change later via the Edit substep we create.
I don't think we can create something that inserts a completely different step, but we can have one step that has the ability to do both and we can pick which one we execute. Also note we still don't have the ability to edit the Panels for a step, so we have to use a new window that we call from our Edit substep to complete the step.
Hope this helps.

How to use the RV_EXPORT_CONTROL function (via 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor)

Hi guys,
I use the 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor to load R/3 data to BW.
On this extractor, there is an user exit which filled many fields.
I have to add the export control status of items, the value we can find in VA03 (Extras -> Export Licence -> Log -> Status green or Red).
I added a specific fields ZZEEXPCTRL (CHAR(1)) in my extraction structure as a field only know in Customer exit.
This flag will be empty if status is green or 'X' if status is red.
I'll try to use the RV_EXPORT_CONTROL function in my exit but it doesn't work.
When I execute in debug the 2LIS_11_VAITM extractor in RSA3, I can display the screen we have in VA03 (Extras -> Export Licence -> Log -> Status green or Red).
Maybe I use the bad parameters ?? But I tried many option, without result
Could you please help me and explain me how to use this function to have my result or if there is another way to do this ?
Thanks
Joris

Hi Namrata and Debjani,
Thank you for your suggestion. We are considering those options as well.
However, we are trying to aim for consistency between the "old" and the upgraded system. Therefore we are trying to find whether it is all possible to remove those two fields. If it is not possible at all to remove them, then we will do what you both suggested.
Best regards,
Fen

Making the switch finally

Hi everyone. After almost a decade of designing my websites
in Front Page my employees have finally convinced me to make the
switch to Dreamweaver. We will be upgrading to CS4 Design Premium
at the beginning of the year, and to say I'm a bit "worried" would
be an understatement.
I have built over 400 websites, and we currently
host/maintain almost 200 sites for our 140+ clients. My staff is
trained in Dreamweaver so they are very excited about finally
making the switch. I myself am self-taught and can build a FP site
in my sleep. I have taught FP, trained staff and colleagues, etc. I
am VERY comfortable in FP, and have won over 30 awards for my
designs in FP (thank goodness and can read/write some code in code
view). So to toot my own horn, I am very comfortable/confident in
FP and have always been a fan of the software. I have always told
people that it is not the software that builds the site, but the
designer and the software is just a tool to get it done.
But after much debating, thinking, researching, etc... we are
finally ready to take the plunge. I am obviously nervous leaning
new software, and being able to keep up with our steady work
(exisiting and new clients) and really cannot afford to have much
downtime in the way of a learning curve.
I have started the Lynda.com training, and that is making me
sleepy. As great as I'm sure the training is, I feel like I'll be
listening to that forever. I have DW already on my computer and
thought I'd just jump right in, but find the UI so different that
I'm a bit overwhelmed.
So I thought I'd come join the forum, as hearing from others
is often such a better learning method for me. I will continue my
training at lynda.com as well as a few other tutorials I've seen
around the way... but wanted to ask a few quesitons to the experts
here...
1. What software/training program would you guys recommend
for learning DW for someone already very familiar with building
websites (I'm finding that the Lynda.com training is geared to
beginners and I'm forced to re-learn things I already know)?
2. What is the best method for changing from FP to DW?
Meaning, is there software or a plug-in available that I can
import/transition my exisiting FP sites to DW? With so many sites,
just this task alone seems almost impossible.
3. Currently we use Xara Webstyle for our drop down menus. I
have been using this program for years and years, and it
quickly/easily creates javascript drop down menus for our sites.
Easy to use, easy to edit, inexpensive and works in FP almost
seamlessly. When we switch over to DW I'd like to use something
more search engine friendly - do you guys have anything you
recommend?
4. For once we are up and running on DW, what else do you
guys recommend?
TIA for your help!

Discard this idea completely. Learn HTML and CSS. That's
really a key to
the effective use of DW. Forget the tool. Learn the
technology.

Before doing anything else, take a couple of weeks to
gothrough the DW
tutorials, and also to study HTML and CSS. The more you know
about those,
the easier your transition will be. DW expects alot more from
you than FP
did, and as a result, you may find it much more frustrating
to have the raw
reality of web development staring you in the face rather
than the wizards
of FP.
> Is there a way to convert a Frontpage site into a
> Dreamweaver site
1. I'd define a Dreamweaver site that points to a location on
your hard
drive for the local site's root, and to the current FP site
on the web as
the remote site
2. I'd use Dreamweaver (if your host supports FTP
connections) to download
the remote site to the root of the site you just defined on
the hard drive.
This will pick up all the pages *after* webbot action so that
shared borders
and all are already present in the page HTML. This will also
pick up all of
the server scripting. Note - in the event that you are not
able to connect
using FTP since some FP hosts block that protocol, you will
have to use a
third party 'site copier' like Black Widow, QuadSucker, or
WebCopier, (or
even the DW extension called SiteAssist from WebAssist) to
connect and
download using http protocols. Doing it this way will *not*
retrieve any of
your server-script code, if any (unless you have used the
WebAssist
extension).
3. I'd create a DW template for the pages, that captures the
"shared
border"
effect you had in FP.
4. I'd copy and paste content from each FP pages to a new
template child
page and then save the new child page with an easily
identifiable
nomenclature that is distinct from what was used on the FP
site (since you
are saving the new child pages into the same local site as
the FP pages).
5. When the basic site is completed, I'd upload the new DW
pages to some
staging area/webspace, and by using the browser, I'd verify
that the site
(as it now exists remotely) is complete.
6. Then I'd create a *new* DW site in a new location on the
hard drive, and
connect to and download all the files from the staging site.
7. You can now delete the original FP site from your local
system if you
want.
You now have a complete site (minus any of the FP extension
server-side
code) that has no FP footprint.
If you have used any FP server extension functions on the
original FP site
(form processing, guestbooks, tables of contents, etc.), you
will have to
recreate those functions in DW using 3rd party scripts, or
scripts that you
write yourself.

I would not touch Xara with a ten foot pole, or any menu
system that writes
all-javascript menus. There are many reasons for this, but
accessability is
right at the top of the list.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

I am new to Teststand software interface. While doing my first software release under the guidance of a more experienced colleague, we discovered that Teststand will not run if it detects version number conflicts between custom data types on my machine vs. the production test machine. I verified differences between all .seq files in my test program directory, but I did not realize that the version number difference exists in the StationGlobals.ini file, which is stored in a different location. After discovering this, I modified the version number in one of the files. However, two releases later, I discovered that the version number mismatches in another two files. This raises several questions for me :
1. Is there a way in Teststand to view all the .seq files where a custom data type is used and then change its version number in one attempt?
2. Under what instances does Teststand upgrade the version number of a custom data type?
3. Are there any tools or scripts within Teststand that can allow the version number of custom data types to be changed in all .ini files when a difference is discovered between the current production test station settings and a new release?
Please help.

Have you read this? http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7060
I can tell you that your situation is not uncommon with TestStand. The key is just doing it right the first time. haha
#1- I doubt that this is possible because then TestStand would have to know every location of every .seq on the machine. You will only see it when you open the sequence file.
#2- TestStand updates the version every time you change it. You should get a message popup when you try to save that asks if you want to increment the version or not. There's also a check box that says Remove Modified Mark From Types. Look under Station Options in the File tab. There are some settings there about Type conflicts.

Custom marker types for Prelude?

What would be the way to add a custom marker type to Prelude, that could be used in addition to the default 6 marker types (subclip, comment, flash cue, weblink, chapter and speech)?
I would like to have an ability to add a set of properties with a specific in-out time boundary to clips. Looking into the CC Extension Builder and going through the Prelude API docs, but haven't found info on this yet.
Through this forum, I understand that one can define a custom metadata schema, but that seems to allow new metedata for the entire clip, without the in-out time.   I also see that Prelude provides an UI to define marker templates, but it seems like templates would be based on existing marker types, thus I cannot add new property set(s) there.

Hi Lei,
I've put together a simple proof-of-concept build, and I have a bunch of questions(again). May I ask you to take a look at the build here and share your insight when convenient?    Please let me know if there's a better place to do this than this forum.
In general, it is great that custom markers and their base properties can be viewed alongside the standard markers. I think it makes sense that our extension is responsible for providing UI for creating and editing the details of these markers. I'm wondering how I can improve the integration of our markers into the existing UI, meanwhile.
1) For the jsx run script error, is there a way to catch it as a caller, as opposed to displaying the alert dialog to the end user?
2) Documentation about the marker xml format in general? What is tagList?
3) Is there a way to create a new marker type button in the "Marker Type" panel without adding an actual marker to the timeline?
4) Any suggestion about better integrating with the Marker Type, Timeline and Marker Inspector panels in general? For example it'll be nice if we can set color for our markers, if our markers can be grouped in subcategory in the pull-down menu, etc...
5) Related to (2), it's not clear to me what the allowed characters are for xml. I'm seeing that newline and blackout characters seems to be a problem in xml for addMarker call.    Is it intentional? I also saw that a single-quote goes through, but occasionally (not always) comes back as "apos;" in the xml for that event's callback, example below.

Adding Partner new partner types

I am trying to create a custom partner type 'ZP' for my service notifications. This i would like to assign to my partner function 'ZX'. In iw51 when i am creating a service notification under the 'tasks' tab when i set the 'task processor' as 'ZX' i want the F4 help for the 'responsible' collumn to pick values from a Z table. is this achievable?? please help.
i have already defined and assigned 'ZX'. using tcode we44 i have defined 'ZP'. i am not being able to assign ZX to ZP as the F4 help

I copied its code and everthing compiles fine, but when executed, the program crashes when you click on the green arrow to confirm the selected variant. The method call to RSPC_GET_CHAIN seems to be wrong:

An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
not caught in

Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

The reason for the exception is:

Logic based on partner type

Hi gurus,
Need a help from you.I have made changes in the include but in my requirement i have to write the logic specific to a particular partner type only.The details present in this include dont have the details of the partner.How to get it.
Edited by: Rajalakshmi KR on Mar 23, 2009 8:19 AM

Hi,
collect partner detail from VBPA table. Of course you need to have sales ordr number to look for partner detail. let me know if it was that you were looking for or tell me your exact requirement(s).

While doing my first software release under the guidance of a more experienced colleague, we discovered that Teststand will not run if it detects version number conflicts between custom data types on my machine vs. the production test machine. I verified differences between all .seq files in my test program directory, but I did not realize that the version number difference exists in the StationGlobals.ini file, which is stored in a different location. After discovering this, I modified the version number in one of the files. However, two releases later, I discovered that the version number mismatches in another two files. This raises several questions for me :
1. Is there a way in Teststand to view all the .seq files where a custom data type is used and then change its version number in one attempt?
2. Under what instances does Teststand upgrade the version number of a custom data type?
3. Are there any tools or scripts within Teststand that can allow the version number of custom data types to be changed in all .ini files when a difference is discovered between the current production test station settings and a new release?
Please help.

You'll probably get better response in the TestStand Forum instead of the LabVIEW forum.
1. Is there a way in Teststand to view all the .seq files where a custom data type is used and then change its version number in one attempt?
Look at the Types Window (Ctrl-T). This should show which version of Custom Data Types are loaded for which sequence files.
2. Under what instances does Teststand upgrade the version number of a custom data type?
As far as I know, anytime you edit a custom datatype which is already in memory, TestStand will update the version of the custom data type for the currently loaded sequences.
3. Are there any tools or scripts within Teststand that can allow the version number of custom data types to be changed in all .ini files when a difference is discovered between the current production test station settings and a new release?
I think you can use the Types Window to do this but I'm not positive.

How do I pass a custom data type to a dll in TestStand?

I need to add a new feature / function to an existing TestStand program. The original program uses a custom data type for the LabVIEW VISA (serial com) reference, as shown below. I want to use the StationGlobals.VISA_Ref in my call to the dll.
The VI prototype is shown below. The VISA Ref In is a basic VISA reference control (serial comm) from LabVIEW. Nothing special.
I am stuck at trying to figure out how to configure the VISA Ref In parameter... I've searched this forum and the only posts which seem close to what I am attempting to do did not have any responses... I hope to be "luckier"..

What you are describing is similar to this, right? http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/22BF02003B4588808625717F003ECD67
I tried something similar to what you described.... unfortunately, TestStand is holding on to the serial port and has not let go yet... Which causes a run-time error within the LabVIEW code (dll) because the resource it is trying to use (COM port) is not available...
I will check the code and see whether they use the serial port after it gets to the new feature... Otherwise, I may close the port, use it within LabVIEW (dll), close it and then re-open within TestStand... That's why I wanted to pass the reference directly... Although, the way you describe it, it may be possible to pass that same reference indirectly and get the dll to work without having to play with closing / opening references. I'll explore that tomorrow.
Thanks.

Delegation of Custom Object Types

Dear Gurus,
What is the need for DELEGATING a custom object type that we create using SWO1.
Thanks,
VV

HI Balajisap ,
'the event 'releasestepcreated' has to be triggered for object types BUS2105 and the custom created for BUS2105 in SWEL right?. But i am getting only BUS2105 not the custom one'..
The system will always show the standard BO not the custom one. Afetr dlegating you custom BO to the standard one, use your standard BO to trigger your worflow. The standard BO will contain the cistom properties after delegation.
