No progress indicator or report for Tools menu sequence execution?

I have a sequence that I call from the TestStand customized Tools menu.
This sequence generates custom reports on sequences. The report generation
process can take anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds (there are DB queries
involved).
I hoped to use the TestStand progress indicator to display the report
generation progress and the Report.Load method to display the report to the
user when its done.
If I set a breakpoint on the first step of the report generation sequence
and run it, everything works as expected after I proceed from the break
point. The progress indicator comes up and updates itself. And the
operator gets a copy of the report in the Report tab of the execution
window.
However, if I don't set a bre
akpoint, an execution window never pops up. No
progress indicator, no report when done.
I assume its got to do with interactive v. non-interactive execution. Is
there a way to force a Tools menu sequence to execute as an interactive
execution so I get the execution window to pop up?

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I'd tried that... still no luck. I added
the RunState.Tracing = True as a statement as the first step in my Tools
seqeunce call. The execution window still does not appear. Is there some
place special this statement needs to be?
Are there any global setting
s that override the Tracing flag? If I check
Enable Tracing in Station Options, while the window pops up, the execution
takes unacceptably long as TestStand traces every single step, even when
tracing speed is set to max. I can't find any other setting that seems
related to this...
Any other ideas?
Thanks,

How to call a report from a menu ?

I am converting 6i client/server forms to 9i.
I have a menu that has an option on it to run a report for each menu item selected using RUN_PRODUCT.
9i is making this obsolete, so how can I call a report from a menu (not a form) now then ?
In a form it is fine cos I just use the Report Object - a menu does not have this facility.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
so here is how this should be done:
1. Create a Reports node in the Forms module that uses the menu (you don't have to create one Reports Object for each report that you want to run)
2. From the menu, before calling Run_Report_Object() use Set_Report_Object_Property() to set the phsical file name of the Reports that should be executed. This is kind of best practice and does not have a performance hit.
There is a bug filed against Forms to extend the menu files with a reports Object node. This could require a change to teh file structure which is why we looking for Forms 10i to implement this. (If it turns out that we can have it without recompiling the menu modules then it may go into a patch set - however this seems unlikely from my point of view)

How to use progress indicator which block the user for editing ?

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to show a round progress bar while processing to the database.For example :- I have a bounded taskflow and inside it I have a two jspx page called as "First.jspx" and "Second.jspx".And i have two textboxes and one "Save" button on first.jspx page.
Now when user puts the values in the textboxes and hits the "Save" button , my ticker or progress indicator should say "Please wait while processing" and as soon as the transaction is complete , i need to show another page which is "Second.jspx" page. "Save" button action has method inside a managed bean which has some functionality and then it executes the VO(View Object) and commits the data.
How should i implement the indicator?
I have read this article :- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/42-progressbarcolor-169184.pdf but it doesn't fit to my requirement.I need indicator which holds the user to edit anything on the page.Like what we get when we do any transaction in banks while navigating to payment gateway.
Please suggest!!!
Thanks and Regards,
Shah

How to show webgui progress indicator in Webgui while executing report

ITS 6.2 patch 18
I am calling r/3 report as a new window from template base html page. Mission is to show webgui progress indicator instead of hour glass. The report takes 3 minutes to the result. Shortly before showing result page,the webgui progress indicator appears at the center of the page. I tried abap function SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR to r/3 report.However, it did not work.
If anyone konws how to do it, let me know.
I am using below function to call r/3 report.
<script language="JavaScript">
function new_win(){
var w_address, wp ;
w_address    = "http://`HTTP_HOST`/scripts/wgate/webgui/!?transaction=ZZZZ&~OkCode=EXEC&PA0001-ORGEH=" + "`PA0001-ORGEH`" + "&PCHDY-DEPTH=" + "`PCHDY-DEPTH`" ; ;
w_address    = w_address    + "&client=`write(client)`&language=`write(language)`" ;
    win_prop = "left=0, top=0, height=600, width=800, status=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, fullsize=yes, channelmode=no, scrollbars=yes";
alert(w_address);
wp = window.open(w_address,'',win_prop);
wp.location.href = w_address;
alert(w_address);
if (window.focus) {
      wp.focus()
     return false;
</SCRIPT>

Hi Klaus,
I appreciate your quick response.
Okay ! Let me give up webgui progress indicator.
Another question is how to grab webguiform input field data.
I got other issues.
As you see source code, I pass parameter like PA0001-ORGEH=`PA0001-ORGEH` to the javascript function for a popup window .
When I use this `SAP_InputField("PA0001-ORGEH")` clause at template script, I cannot grab data properly before hitting enter. I guess the reason is in webgui's dynamic webpage generation. Is it right ?
When I use html code <input type="text">, there is no problem in passing parameter. When I use search help function with <input> code, other field's data is changed into default value.
If someone knows the way to grab input field data from DOM, let me know. I tried document.webguiform.element[0].value, it did not work.
It seems there are tons of limits in webgui function.

Stuck at gray progress indicator screen for 1 min - then fan speed races...

Hello,
I have read through a bunch of posts here and figured I would give my scenario. I have a 1st gen iMac G5 - My fiancee used it in college and then I boxed it up and it sat in the box for about a year or so untouched. We just moved into a new apartment so I figured I would hook it up. I plugged it in and it started up a bit slow - but I was able to log in ok the first time - then I did a software update (i figured it could use an update after sitting for a year)
Then I restarted and it would not make it to the login screen.
I power up, it goes to the grey apple logo splash screen for about 1 minute, then the fan starts racing on high and there it sits... forever racing and progress indicator spinning. I have tried the SMU reset (via unplugging the power cable and reconnecting and holding power button)
PRAM reset by holding command+option P+R.
Is it possible my PRAM battery is shot from sitting in the box for a year?
It is also a probable software issue from updating??
I tried booting in safe mode but did not work, actually I belive the computer just turned off after 1 minute when I did try to boot into safe mode.
Where can I go from here, given the information?
Thanks much.

Welcome to Discussions - it is likely that your PRAM battery (CR2032 3v lithium) will need replacement and it would also be a good idea to boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
You could also run the Apple Hardware test from your install disc.
Make sure that the air vents of the computer re not clogged, you can vacuum them.
Please post back and let us know how you made out,

Report creation progress indicator

Hello All,
I am looking for a way to represent to the user the progress of the report creation.
(Most users get upset when reports donu2019t appear immediately)
A basic example would be to be able to display the current page being produced.
Page N has been produced ....
I am creating a Java Project, so would like to output the progress to the System Console,
currently
reportClientDocument.open (reportFilePath, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
is the part that is taking the most time, so is there a way I can follow the progress of this?
I had a thought, and I use this very lightly as I have not looked into it at all, that I could maybe bring in
something like a UFL within the Report to indicate the report creation progress.
As I say I have only had a half think about this all but was hoping someone had an idea on how best
to get this info.
Any ideas or pointers would be great.
Thanks
Darren

Thanks Ted,
I thought it wouldnt be too easy. We already have a nice big whirly, but you know what users are like.
Ill just have to put up some vague notifications about opening, populating and exporting the reports.
Ill keep fiddling with a few things and see if I can come up with something a little more accurate,
will leave this topic open incase some others have any ideas.
Cheers
Darren

Progress indicator for installing missing SCCM 2012 R2 updates

Hi Everyone! I've put together a simple powershell script to install missing SCCM updates and it works well but doesn't output anything to the console when its running.
How could I include a write-progress indicator during the While loop is running?
I'm thinking I could insert Write-Progress for the While (($CMInstallPendingUpdates.Count -ne 0) but I'm just not too familiar with the syntax required. -Thanks!

Report generating tool for labview v.10.0

Hi,
I'm using labview 10.0, I need report generating tool for the same. I downloaded RGT 2012 & 2013 but it is not working with the labview V10.0. Let me know the link to download RGT 2010.

Hello RKN,
If the serial number(s) currently associated with your ni.com account include licenses for the RGT 2010, then you should be able to access it via ni.com/downloads
Only the most recent version of the software will be available for "evaluation" download, so if you're looking for an older version you'll need to get it through ni.com/downloads or off of physical media (discs).
If you're not seeing the 2010 version, I would check that the serial number you're using for 2010 is registered to your account - this might be different from the 2012/2013 serial number. Do you see LabVIEW 2010 available as an option for download on this page?
If the serial number is the same and you're not seeing LabVIEW 2010 or the RGT 2010 on ni.com/downloads, I'd contact your NI sales representative or [email protected]
Regards,
Tom L.

Since I started using firefox, I have noticed in cafe world on Facebook that I can not use my entire screen. I have been looking for the tools menu to enlarge my screen but with no luck so far. please help

I am having trouble seeing the small print on my Facebook page and also I cannot use my full screen in Cafe world. I have been trying to find the tools menu here on Firefox which would most likely enlarge my screen, but I haven't had any luck so far. please help.

Each video will be its own timeline.
Set video 1 to "First Play."
Set video 1 end action to "video 2."
Set video 2 end action to "video 3" etc.
Set the end action for the last video to "stop."

Safari 4 useless - no progress indicator for us dial-up users

I am on slow dial-up (26.4 kbaud max) and need a page load progress indicator so I can decide whether to let a page load or not, turn of images, Flash etc.
Safari 4 has no progress indicator, so has become almost useless to me.
BRING BACK THE BLUE URL PROGRESS BAR in the URL field or someone find a hack— Please.
Going to Camino now
Sigh, Bye

I'm switching to Firefox now! Safari 4 is too much for me!
The reload-button on the right side is way too much like Internet Explorer for me. EVERY other browser has it on the left side or cusomizable. Safari hat that too, why did they change that? What's the improvement for me with a not-customizable button? Its too small, on the wrong side and nearly invisible.
And the gone blue progrress bar is one more argument for me: Why not use any other browser, if they all look the same now? The blue progress bar was such a handy feature. You could even see the loading progress if you were not near your mac, from far away.
And it's **** for developers, switching from left to right everytime you have to test in different browsers, which is whyt i do 8 hours daily!!!
Where is the user friendlyness gone to at apple? Even IE is more user friendly!
WHY DID YOU REMOVE IT APPLE!??? Why does nobody answere that?
WHY DO YOU MAKE SAFARI MORE AND MORE IE-LIKE IN LOOK AND FEEL???
I can't understand Aplle anymore, have they fired all the old developers and hired only new developers from Microsoft? Looks much like that to me!

OMB*Plus Command for Maintain/Add/Remove Experts in Context and Tools Menue

Hi there,
does anybody know how to maintain Experts in the Context- and Tools-Menue by OMB-Commands?
The problem ist, that I transfer Experts into another workspace via OMBEXPORT/OMBIMPORT,
and I would like to maintain the menues in my batch-script.
Can't find anything in the docu about this.
Thanks in advance.
Andreas

Hi David,
thank you very much for the quick and correct answer.
Just a few more questions about this.
Now, as I know the answer, I found it in the documentation as well.
But I allways find it very hard to find anything in the OMB*Plus Command Reference . And also with the description of the OMBMENU command: Why is there no description about the parameters in the reference? Where is the list of valid object types, and where is the description of the "QUOTED_STRING" (NEW, OPEN)?
This command is just an example for the, in my opinion, really poor quality of the OWB*Plus Command Reference.
Is there any underlaying reason for this that I do not understand, or is there a special strategy to work with this document, or do I just need more practice?
The answers to this questions would be very helpfull for me, but also for my customer, where we start to implement a quite big DWH on OWB basis.
Thanks again.
Andreas

Is there a way to access all the items in the tools section without seeing all the options? That is to say can one use keyboard for functions? My tools menu doesn't scroll down, only goes from left to right for one page and no more options.

I can't seem to view web pages. I noticed when I clicked on the tools menu I don't get the usual drop down menu of choices. I get a horizontal listing of options with a white background. I suspect the issue may be somewhere in some settings of my tool bar or the way the system displays web pages.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

No progress indicator or report for Tools menu sequence execution?
