MS Office Report Express VI - How to programatically use multiple Path to Template

Good Afternoon,
I'm testing MS Office Report Express VI and i need to know if it's possible (and how) to programaticaly change "Path to Template" field? I need that in order to change it through front panel.
Best Regards.

Hello aj2011,
Thank you for your post on the National Instruments forum.
a solution for what you want to do is:
when you placed your express VI on the diagram, perform a right click on the express VI. From the dialog box choose "open front panel". Choose "convert". then when the front panel of the express VI is open, modify the connector of the VI and put the template path as an input.
This way you can use the express VI input path template programmatically.
Is the solution you were looking for?

Save custom file name using MS Office Report Express VI

When my program creates a report, I want to save it as a serial number defined in the report. I want to use the MS Office Report Express VI to do this but unfortunately it only allows you to save the file name as a time/date and/or incremental number.
Solved!

Hi jliu317,
While waiting for you to notify the moderator to move your thread, here is my solution. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
In MS Office Report, there is a block diagram input called Path to Save Report. So this is where you can save your report in Words (.doc) or Excel (.xls) with customized filename such as serial number, as shown below.

MS Office Report Express VI

Hi,
I have installed Labview Report Gerneration Tool for Microsoft Office Version 1.1 and now I want to use MS Office Report Express VI but it need the VI "Dflt Data Dir.vi". I don't have this on my computer, why? Where can I get this VI? Can somebody help me?
thanks Labprog

I found this vi on my PC in the LabVIEW installation directory under
\vi.lib\Utility\file.llb. I'm attaching this llb to this posting for
the case that it is missing for some reason in your LV installation.
Please copy it to the path mentioned above.

MS Office Report Express VI in a builded application

Where do I have to put the used Exell template defined in the MS Office Report Express VI in case of a builded (.exe) application ?

Your right. I apologize. My method is for the non-Express vi's. So with the Express vi's you should have a MS Office Report vi that uses a template. If you right click on this and select properties, a configuration window appears in which there is another window where you can navigate to the path of your template. As stated before, your report template must reside at the same location on the target machine.

Nombre d'entrées "MS Office Report Express"

Bonjour à tous,
Je dois générer un rapport d'essai sous Word comprenant des chaînes de caractère et des valeurs de pression, température, vitesse moteur .. etc. Je dois écrire environ 70 données dans le même fichier *.dot
Seulement le VI Express "MS Office Report Express" ne peut avoir que 17 entrées. On est aussi limité à 25 entrées par fichier *.dot
Après anayse du diagramme de "MS Office Report", je ne vois pas ce qui bride le vi express à 17 entrées, par contre on peut voir une fonction "construire un tableau" qui a 25 entrées câblées.
Y a-t'il un moyen d'étendre le nombre d'entrée de ce VI Express "MS Office Report Express" afin que je puisse écrire mes 70 données dans le fichier?
C'est mon premier développement sous Labview et j'utilise la version 13.0.1f2 (32 bits) avec le Report Generation Toolkit.
Merci par avance
Romain
Résolu !

Bonjour,
Il est effectivement possible d'insérer des éléments à un endroit précis du fichier .dot en les attachant à un signet. Il suffit de préciser le nom du signet à la fonction LV :
Voilà un modèle de document dans lequel j'ai défini des signets (debutTab et debutTexte) :
Le code du précédent exemple est modifié pour préciser les noms des signets :

How can I use multiple row insert or update into DB in JSP?

Hi all,
pls help for my question.
"How can I use multiple rows insert or update into DB in JSP?"
I mean I will insert or update the multiple records like grid component. All the data I enter will go into the DB.
With thanks,

That isn't true. Different SQL databases have
different capabilities and use different syntax, That's true - every database has its own quirks and extensions. No disagreement there. But they all follow ANSI SQL for CRUD operations. Since the OP said they wanted to do INSERTs and UPDATEs in batches, I assumed that ANSI SQL was sufficient.
I'd argue that it's best to use ANSI SQL as much as possible, especially if you want your JDBC code to be portable between databases.
and there are also a lot of different ways of talking to
SQL databases that are possible in JSP, from using
plain old java.sql.* in scriptlets to using the
jstlsql taglib. I've done maintenance on both, and
they are as different as night and day.Right, because you don't maintain JSP and Java classes the same way. No news there. Both java.sql and JSTL sql taglib are both based on SQL and JDBC. Same difference, except that one uses tags and the other doesn't. Both are Java JDBC code in the end.
Well, sure. As long as you only want to update rows
with the same value in column 2. I had the impression
he wanted to update a whole table. If he only meant
update all rows with the same value in a given column
with the same value, that's trivial. All updates do
that. But as far as I know there's know way to update
more than one row where the values are different.I used this as an example to demonstrate that it's possible to UPDATE more than one row at a time. If I have 1,000 rows, and each one is a separate UPDATE statement that's unique from all the others, I guess I'd have to write 1,000 UPDATE statements. It's possible to have them all either succeed or fail as a single unit of work. I'm pointing out transaction, because they weren't coming up in the discussion.
Unless you're using MySQL, for instance. I only have
experience with MySQL and M$ SQL Server, so I don't
know what PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, DB2 and all the
rest are capable of, but I know for sure that MySQL
can insert multiple rows while SQL Server can't (or at
least I've never seen the syntax for doing it if it
does).Right, but this syntax seems to be specific to MySQL The moment you use it, you're locked into MySQL. There are other ways to accomplish the same thing with ANSI SQL.
Don't assume that all SQL databases are the same.
They're not, and it can really screw you up badly if
you assume you can deploy a project you've developed
with one database in an environment where you have to
use a different one. Even different versions of the
same database can have huge differences. I recommend
you get a copy of the O'Reilly book, SQL in a
Nutshell. It covers the most common DBMSes and does a
good job of pointing out the differences.Yes, I understand that.
It's funny that you're telling me not to assume that all SQL databases are the same. You're the one who's proposing that the OP use a MySQL-specific extension.
I haven't looked at the MySQL docs to find out how the syntax you're suggesting works. What if one value set INSERT succeeds and the next one fails? Does MySQL roll back the successful INSERT? Is the unit of work under the JDBC driver's control with autoCommit?
The OP is free to follow your suggestion. I'm pointing out that there are transactions for units of work and ANSI SQL ways to accomplish the same thing.

How Can I Use Multiple Weblogic Instances in a Single OS

Hello Everyone,
Actually I have to install Some different applications. Few of them need weblogic 10.3.6 and others need 10.3.4. The OS am using is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.
Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

How do I use a path as an argument without breaking the -classpath option?

How do I use a path as an argument without breaking the -classpath option?
I have the following Korn Shell Script:
#!/bin/ksh
    CSVFILE=/EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/weekly05222006.csv
    OUTPUTFILE=/EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/08000000.txt
    PAGEMBR=0800F341
    cd /EAIStorageNumbers/v1/bin/
    java -classpath com.dtn.refinedfuels.EAIStorageNumbers $CSVFILE $OUTPUTFILE $PAGEMBRWhen I run the shell script, I return the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/weekly05222006/csv
Thus, the -classpath option sees the first argument as a classpath. When I remove the -classpath option, I get a different error, which is another issue:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: au/com/bytecode/opencsv/CSVReader
at com.dtn.refinedfuels.EAIStorageNumbers.main(Unknown Source)
Thoughts or suggestions on how I can get the -classpath option to work with the defined Korn Shell Script variables would be greatly appreciated.

I think you're misunderstanding the classpath argument. This tells java where to look to find your classes. The argument you're supplying looks like the class that you want java to run. Run something like this: java -classpath $MY_CLASS_DIR my.package.MyClass arg1 arg2 arg3.

How to use multiple videos in template

I'm using the Directions HD template in Motion 3 and trying to figure out how to use more than one drop zone. When I drop a video into the first drop zone, it appears in all drop zones. How can I use multiple videos?

Step 1: Find the Drop Zone layer (inside the Video group/folder) and select the Custom behavior and type Command - K (Convert to Keyframes from the Object menu)
Step 2: Duplicate the Drop Zone the number of times you want to be able to change media.
Step 3: For Each drop zone, move the playhead to the position you need to set an In Point; then do the Out Points... I recommend overlapping the Outs and Ins and crossfading using opacity keyframes. [For some of these, this will mean a 1 or 2 frame crossfade... or pick your points for straight cuts. ]
Step 4: Select all the Drop Zones and create a group (Command-Shift-G).
Step 5: Select the "Clone Layer" (it will be unchecked in the Layers List inside the Video group), and drag the newly created group of drop zones into the Source well.
You can mix up the way the background (emitted copy) video plays by clicking the Random Seed button at the buttom of the Emitter > Particle Cell inspector.

How can we use multiple transactions by using bdc_insert.

HI
How can we use multiple transactions by using bdc_insert.

Hi,
In between the Open and Close we have to use the BDC_INSERT for the Tcodes you have to do.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
BSD_INSERT
TCODE = tcode1
BDC_INSERT
TCODE = tcode 2
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
check the SDN for more on this.

MS Office Report Express VI and Array Problem

Hello all,
I have a strange issue with the MS Office Report VI that's included with the Report Generation Toolkit. I created an Excel template which I linked using the "Custom template for Excel" preference and applied all the named ranges. However, two of the named ranges that I am inputting are 1D Arrays of doubles. Now the problem:
When I input the arrays to their specific name range (it's only 6 values), instead of inputting just the array values into the cells, it inputs like this:
0 Value
1 Value
2 Value
6 Value
It pushes the "Value" to the column next to the name range because of the 0-6.
It does this with both arrays so it screws up all the formulas. Any one know how to remove the 0-6 and just input the values?
Thanks all
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Greetings, I wrote a program that generates an array of data and stores a data table, just as a chart, just starting to program, I hope that my program can be useful

How do I use multiple addresses at one time?

Shouldn't the Adobe server page that allows for the entry of a recipients address tell users how to add another address? Do we separate them with semicolons? Commas? Or is it even possible to use multiple addresses?

Yes, Adobe Send.
Unfortunately, it is NOT spelled out on the page where you enter email addresses of recipients, nor is it revealed if you click on the question mark box by email address.

How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro. When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2. However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first). (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library. Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.) How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
zpockets

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.
