Message popup timeout - time left

Can we get from the sequence context the time left (or time elapsed) of a timeout enabled message popup.
For example,
If the message popup is set to timeout after 120 sec and the operator responded when there are 50sec left for the step to timeout,
does any built-in variable have the value 50 (seconds left) or 70 (seconds elapsed)?
I know there are workarounds like calling Seconds() function in pre- and post-expressions and taking the difference but I wonder if it is already implemented or not.
Thanks.

This information is not stored in the step properties. It is possible to change the step type to get this information. The source code for MessagePopup is included with TestStand at <TestStand>/Components/NI/StepTypes/MsgBox/ if you have Labwindows/CVI.
Your suggestion of using Seconds() is much easier to implement and be accurate enough for your use cases.

Message popup timeout reached or button pressed?

I have a Message Popup with one button. This button is also set up to be the Timeout Button. If I press the button, RunState.Sequence….Result.ButtonHit is set to 1. Alternately, if I allow the timeout to be reached, Result.ButtonHit is also set to 1. Is there a way to determine whether the timeout was reached or if the user pressed the button?

Hi Christine,
I have just played with Message Popup's timeout and i also do not see a way to check if a timeout has been occured.
The only way is to use a new button for timeout but you can not hide it ! Only changing the colour stuff and this is looking
terrible. And if the user is pressing this button you will not determine a timeout, too!
I think the "blue ones" should add this feature in next TS release.
Or they have some other suggestions.
Sorry that i have no solution.

But since more than 3 hours I got the message "transferring Time zone paramètres " with time left less than 1 minute.
Any recommendation or suggestion to solve it ?

If it has run for 3 hours it's probably done and you can quit Migration Assistant and reboot the new computer. In the future rather than using Migration Assistant I would recommend using Startup Assistant which tends to be a bit more reliable and does not create a new user account as MA does. If you're interested here is an article explaining Setup Assistant tips.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

How do you remove multiple email messages at one time

I have a iphone 4 and today it started piling up over 4000 undeliverable messages for no apparent reason. I somehow managed to stop the process but I am left with over 4000 messages that I need to delete. How do you remove multiple email messages at one time. I can "mark" all the messages at once but I cannot find the move or delete button to trash the messages. Can some one help me out.
Thanking you in advance.

Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

Alert message and timeout PJC

Hi,
We are using timeout PJC functionality for our web forms. It's working fine and the form application display the alert/message whenever inactivity time reaches(which is set for 30 minutes). The issue is when you minimized the form application by clicking the browser's minimized button and now let say you are working in Toad or some other application and in a mean time your form application which is minimized and its inactivity time reaches but the alert/message is hidden with the minimized form application. Is there anyway to show the alert/message in my current working window/application? Any advise/suggestion please?
Thanks

Error when sending message: 500 Timeout

while sendin a message in the http to rfc scenario, im gettin this error message "Error when sending message: 500 Timeout".
can any1 throw some light on this.

Hi venu,
you need to go to RZ10 and there select the profile instance and go with the extended maintance option in the change mode.
there are two ways you can change it:
1. check out note: 824554
TCODE - rz10
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8010,TIMEOUT=800,PROCTIMEOUT=800
(for 800 seconds)
8010 is my HTTP port so you have to change it:)
2. SXMB_ADM -> configure integration server -> change specific identifiers
runtime parameter:
Parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT
Meaning
Specifies the timeout for http connections (time between two data packages at line level). This value overrides the system profile parameter icm/server_port_n (for example, icm/server_port_0 : PROT=HTTP, PORT=50044, TIMEOUT=900). If you do not set the parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT or if you set the parameter to 0, then the setting for the system profile parameter is used.
Personally I only changed the one from the instance profile but the second one should work too
My suggestion is change only PROCTIMEOUT to 600 or 900 but dont change TIMEOUT. Imp thing is u need to restart the XI, then onlychanges will take place.
If these dosent work out go for changing TIMEOUT also. Just set the value for the instance and dont maintain the HTTP_Timeout in the sxmb_adm
Let me know what u have done , if it works
Thanks,

Message Popup sizing TS 4.0

Hi,
Since moving to TestStand 4.0 from 3.0 we've noticed that a message popup with the buttons arranged to the right or left and with no message text has a big blank space where the message text would go if it were to be entered. For this particular project we use the text on the button to define the message. Any thoughts / sneaky tips on how to lose this unwanted whitespace?

Hi Mike,
i see the problem and was able to reproduce it. Unfortunately i don't see a property for the Message Popup Step to define the space of the blank area.
One possible solution is to create your own Message Popup in LabVIEW or CVI and and use the output to decide which button was hit... I know that is a little bit more of work but it would solve your problem.
thanks,

Message Popup dialog box - "Value invalid or out of range"

Hi
From time to time I get an error when trying to display Message Popup dialog boxes. The error appears sporadically and always disappears when I restart TestStand. This happens for all Message Popup dialog boxex (TS standard box).
The error is "Value invalid or out of range". I get no clues as to why this occurs.
Any ideas?

Can you provide the sequence containing that step?
Without seeing the parameters, its quite hard to give you some hints where to look....

Error message: error timeout for content=20086

Hi all,
I encounter the following problem when trying to view a portlet which is a report
that accesses data from a remote database:
Error message: error timeout for content=20086
The above mentioned problem is intermittant but is very annoying.Is there a
parameter that i could tweak.
Any suggestions would be welcome .
Thanks and regards,
Anila.

Hi,
Is this happening for other portlets. If not please make sure the table being accessed has proper indexes. Also there is a option to increase the time out for a provider. In the administer tab edit the provider (application name) and increase the timeout seconds there.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Disable/delay Status Message Popup

Is there any way to disable or delay (remind me in 15, 30 minutes, etc) the Status Message popup that appears on the PC screen for errors such as out of paper on the P1606dn printer? Even a minimize button would be a nice touch.
It's fine to pop up the error to let you know the printer is out of paper, but you click ok and 5 or 10 seconds later it pops up again... and again.... and again.
You either feed it paper *right away* or you have to drag the whole status message off to the bottom or side of your screen and leave it open in order to get any work done.
There are times when I don't want to get up from my desk *immediately* to get paper... I'll finish what I'm doing and then grab some paper on the way back from getting a cup of coffee.
Not being able to "tone down" this status message is worse than a car full of kids on a long trip... "can I have paper now", "what about now", "can I have it now"... annoying!

Unfortunately that isn't possible at the moment due to Microsoft not adding the option to do so in the operating system.

Deal with teststand message popup

when I add a message popup in my sequence,I need two button: Ok(button1) and Cancel(Button2).and set timeout.
My question is like this; I need get the status when execute,if uesr click ok,the sequence should go to next step,the other stauts,the sequence should abort executing.
example:
Message Popup
if(RunState.Sequence.Main["Message Popup"].Button1Label=="OK")
call sequence //this action need execute when click "OK"
else
break //this is a action ,without any connection of message popup
end
but no matter what button I click ,the sequence always execute break,that's means the if condition can't get the status of message,where is my error.
any one help me ,thanks very much

How do I prevent reporting Button Index line of Message Popup Result in TestStand report??

My Message Popup is reported as:
Verify that the Installed memory (RAM) is 1.96 GB: Passed
Button Index: 1
What is the best way to prevent reporting the Button Index line?

For your step in the sequence open Step.Result in Variables pane, right click on ButtonHit, select Advanced>Edit Flags and uncheck "Include in Report" property. It is checked by default for custom step types created as combined types with the Message Popup general type.
That should be done for all instances of these step. When I tried just to incheck the "Include in Report" property in my step type, somehow it is still checked for all newly created steps of this step type. Possible solutions (besides changing them all manually as I described above) are to modify them at drop time from OnNewStep custom substep or to create automated script and run it on your sequences after creation to modify the flag.
Let me know if you need help with these solutions.
