Passing report name to Labview

i am more than new to Teststand, have read the whole answers that might match my question but i found no way to have my problem solved!!
in most answers there were reffered to ReportOptions thing which i could not find at all ..
so how could i pass the report name which i need to a vi .. and is it bad to put this step in the cleanup .. as to be sure that all other steps in the main section were executed!??
thanks alot ...

Just use this expression "RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath", in your Main Sequence, it will return the Path of the Report File, you can pass directly this string to the LabVIEW modules.

Passing report name to be used in distrubute destination file?

How can I pass the report_name used in %1 in my cgicmd.dat file to be used in my dest.xml file. Otherwise I am going to have to have a lot of destination xml files (one for each report)
In my cgicmd.dat file i have the following:
pm_report:report=%1 destype=cache DISTRIBUTE=YES destination=/home/oracle9i/dst/dest.xml server=rep userid=x/x@x %*
which uses the dest/xml of:
<destinations>
<file id="MyFiles1" name="/home/reports/output/Daily_Volume_Delays.pdf" format="pdf">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
<file id="MyFiles2" name="/home/reports/output/Daily_Volume_Delays.htm" format="html">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</destinations>

Hi,
One distribution file can be used to output to different output formats like html, pdf, rtf, etc. For example, the sample distribution file you wrote in your earlier post will output the report into html and pdf formats. So you do not need to have a separate distribution file for every output format.
Similarly, passing the report name is not an issue. The distribution file does not care about the report name. You can use a single distribution file for all reports - just pass the report name in the command.
However, you may still need a separate distribution file for every report definition. The reason is that if you use a single file for all report definition files, then the output report name will be the same for all reports (eg, "Daily_Volume_Delays.pdf"), that is, they will overwrite the previous output with same filename.
You can get more information about distribution in Publishing Reports 10g Chapter 15 (Creating Advanced Distributions):

Passing report name as report title

Using Desktop Publisher for Word and a standalone BIP Enterprise version, is it possible to pass the report name to the rtf template so that it could be used as the report title?
This feature would be useful when there are multiple reports (different names and slightly different queries/criteria) that use the same templates. We could then dynamically change the report title based on the report name.
Thanks,
Haresh

Haresh,
I'm not sure if there is any simple way to print report name in rtf template.
But there is a work around. Follow below steps...
1>create parameter called Report_Name in every report
2>put default value for that parameter as report name (Title)
3>select parameter type as Hidden
Now in rtf template.
<?param@begin:Report_Name?>
<?$Report_Name?>

Pass column-name as a parameter to reports

Hello,
the code below calls a report. But now I want to sort the rows in the report. For example I have a text-item in my form-modul. If I type a column-name and press the button then the rows should be sorted in the report. Is it possible tp pass column-names as parameter to reports?
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('STATIONSTOPOLOGIE');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_oracle-dev');
-- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://oracle-dev:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_oracle-dev','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;

Hi,
the work has been done in reports. You can use a lexical parameter in reports to add a condition for sorting to the query like:
select .. from .. where ... &p_order.
Then add another parameter to the report (for example p_param). Fill p_param via your interface in forms (SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER, ....) with the column name. Then build a report trigger like:
if :p_param is null
then
:p_order:= null;
else
:p_order:= 'order by '||:p_param;
end if;
But have a look, that p_param can only get correct values.

Templates and Passing a Report Name

I need to create a template and have the report name passed on to that template, but I need a bit more detailed of an explanation then the following:
Create a user parameter on the template and then pass the report name to the parameter at run time.

I wish to have the report name sent to the template so that at runtime the report name will show. I have created a parameter for this to be passed to, and put a field in the header of the template to accept the parameter: what I need to know is how do you send the name of the report which exists in the property palette under -Report -General Information - Name node to the field on the template so it shows at runtime.
Thanks

PASSING A CR2008 REPORT NAME TO CRVIEWER

Please bear with me since I'm new to this part of VS2005/cr2008. I have created a form using vc2005 where i have the crViewer in the form. If I hard code a cr2008 report name in the the report souce area, when I run the form, the report gets displayed. However, what I need to do is to have this form accept a different cr2008 report file name each time. I took a look at your examples, but they all have the reportsource as hard coded...
is there away where I can create s skeleton vs2005 form that will accept and display a cr2008 report file ?? I was able to do this using visual foxpro and version 8.5 and version 10 but i can;'t geet it to work in vs2005...any comments greatly appreciated or of you can point me to some documentation about this wonderfull...thanks in advance...

i am currently using the evaluation copy of cr2008...and vb2005 to create the crviewer for the report.
this is my code...
Public Class Display_report
    Dim m_reportsource As String
    Private Sub CrystalReportViewer1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CrystalReportViewer1.Load
        '      m_reportsource = "c:\airs_crreports\client_agency_referral.rpt"
        MessageBox.Show(m_reportsource)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = m_reportsource
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    End Sub

Serial Number in report name aswell as report body ?

Hello
I am fairly new to TS, I am using the Single Pass Execution entry point with a sequence I have written. I have written my own LabVIEW based Barcode Scanning Module for getting the DUT Serial Number from the user (As the Single Pass doesn't include this) I then write the output of this module to RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber and voila the Serial Number entered appears in the header of my report however the report name still says {No UUT Serial Number} {Time} {Date}
How can I get the S/N into the filename ?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
You can use the ReportOptions BaseName variable to contain the serial number that you want to appear in the report’s filename. If you’re using the SinglePass execution, try copying the ReportOptions callback from the process model and placing it into your sequence. The default ReportOptions is blank so you can add your own method of obtaining the serial number from the DUT. Once you have the DUT S/N, copy it into the Parameters.ReportOptions.BaseName string so that it will appear in the filename. Copy the S/N into the variable, RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber to have it appear into the Report header.
Hope this helps, Please see the attached example TS3.1 sequence file.

Passing report filter function in Open Doc URL

Hi All,
I have a requirement that the values entered in the input control on one report the same values should be passed to another report.For this I created a document linking from the first report to the second and passed ReportFilter([name of the object]) for that prompt on which I have applied input control.When we navigate from one report to another via the hyperlink we get a error saying that internet explorer have modified this page to help prevent cross site scripting.We realized that this is due to the ReportFilter function passed by us in the Open Doc linking because when we do not pass ReportFilter() function the link works properly.Any other method to capture the values entered in the Input control.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes both the reports are based on the same universe.I tried storing the values of the input control to a variable.But that too is giving me that cross site scripting error.I cannot add a second tab to the existing report and want it through OPEN DOC URL itself.
Please help.

How to use Submit in background when report name is not static

Hi all,
I have an FM to which report name is being sent as an input parameter.
So based on the report name I need to call that particular report in background and send the output as a HTML format to dealer's MAIL ID which is also sent as an input param.
The logic for sending mail in background is achieved.
I am using the followinf logic to submit the job.
SUBMIT wf_report USER user_id VIA JOB lv_jobname NUMBER lv_jobcount
    to sap-spool immediately ' '
                     without spool dynpro
    WITH SELECTION-TABLE tb_seltab AND RETURN.
wf_report holds the dynamic value of report.
Here, tb_seltab holds various parameters and select-option values.Since I cannot pass a table to JOB_SUBMIT fm i had to use the SUBMIT statement.
But the program dumps coz we need to explicitly mention the name of the program in the submit statement.
Is there any other possibility to acheive this req when the report name is not going to be hardcoded?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chandra.

You forgot the basics of using the SUBMIT.
try like this it will work
SUBMIT (wf_report ) USER user_id VIA JOB lv_jobname NUMBER lv_jobcount
to sap-spool immediately ' '
without spool dynpro
WITH SELECTION-TABLE tb_seltab AND RETURN.

Passing TABLE NAME as parameter is possible or not?

I want develop a small/simple report like this
TABLE NAME :
WHERE :
ORDER BY :
QUERY ROWS
In the above model i want to pass all the three (TABLE NAME,WHERE and ORDER BY) as a parameter.
My doubt, is that possible to pass TABLE NAME as a parameter? If so!
When i enter any TABLE NAME it has to fetch me out the records of that table (Based on WHERE condition and ORDER BY).
Is that possible to do?
Need some help!
Edited by: Muthukumar Seshadri on Aug 10, 2012 6:19 PM

Yes, it is possible with lexical parameters. Look in the help for examples:
SELECT Clause
SELECT &P_ENAME NAME, &P_EMPNO ENO, &P_JOB ROLE FROM EMP
P_ENAME, P_EMPNO, and P_JOB can be used to change the columns selected at runtime. For example, you could enter DEPTNO as the value for P_EMPNO on the Runtime Parameter Form.
Note that in this case, you should use aliases for your columns. Otherwise, if you change the columns selected at runtime, the column names in the SELECT list will not match the Report Builder columns and the report will not run.
FROM Clause
SELECT ORDID, TOTAL FROM &ATABLE
ATABLE can be used to change the table from which columns are selected at runtime. For example, you could enter ORD for ATABLE at runtime.
If you dynamically change the table name in this way, you may also want to use lexical references for the SELECT clause (look at the previous example) in case the column names differ between tables.
WHERE Clause
SELECT ORDID, TOTAL FROM ORD WHERE &CUST
ORDER BY Clause
SELECT ORDID, SHIPDATE, ORDERDATE, TOTAL FROM ORD ORDER BY &SORT You have to be really careful with this approach. Dynamic SQL may cause serious performance problems.

thanks for your reply
i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
my problem here is
i have 15 columns
i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name) in the target page
1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but i want to pass only one column values(column name)
when i click on any cell of that column
OR
2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

TestStand not passing VISA info to LabVIEW

Hi All,
I am encountering a problem passing a VISA resource name to LabVIEW (2014) from TestStand (2014) which I cannot for the life of me understand or solve. Thus and so, I would be exceptionally grateful for any help.
I have two Thurlby Thandar LXI power supplies in a test rack, each with unique IP and socket addresses, of the form (TCPIP0::192.168.0.3::9221:OCKET). I have a LabVIEW project which contains a number of VIs, each related to the various functions of the PSUs, which are called from TestStand as appropriate.
I'm calling the LabVIEW 'Initialise.vi' in TestStand within a "ForEach" loop to individually extract the PSU's addresses from an array, open a session, then store the SessionNumber, but the resource name data doesn't seem to make it through to the VI's front panel VISA control. I've checked, checked and re-cheked that the correct values are being pulled from the array, I've even tried putting the LabVIEW call in a sub-sequence, just so that I can verify the data is not being corrupted in any way, but all seems to be well. It's as if the link between TestStand and LabVIEW is somehow broken.
To clarify the issue, on the very first run, the VISA information does get through, but subsequent runs retain this value, rather than overwriting it with the next value in the array. Setting the Run Options of the LabVIEW Action step type to Load Dynamically then Unload after step executes overcome this issue, but cause problems when trying to control the PSU later on in the test sequence.
The most maddening thing is that this used to work up until a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately I can't remember what, if any, changes I may have made.
I've reinstalled TestStand and LabVIEW, but it hasn't solved the problem.
I've made the VI re-entrant, but that doesn't make any difference (in truth it shouldn't, as although the VI is called numerous times, all calls are sequential rather than simultaneous, so re-entrancy shouldn't be an issue).
I've configured the PSUs in MAX and given them aliases and tried the addresses direct, but that makes no difference either.
I've also tried performing the same exercise of passing data to LabVIEW just using strings and that all works fine, it just seems to be an issue with VISA resource names.
I have a suspicion I've checked or un-checked a check-box somewhere in the bowels of TestStand that's causing all of this, but haven't a clue how to find it.
If anyone can shed some light on this why this issue is occurring, or could even just point me in the direction of some utility which could sniff dataflow between TestStand and LabVIEW, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks in advance

Personally, I use Action Engines to handle my instrument resources. You can call the AE directly in TestStand. What I typically do is have a string input for name and then do a quick lookup for the desired VISA Resource to then control the instrument. This keeps all of the VISA stuff (including resource references) in LabVIEW. Have never had a problem with doing it this way.

Getting Report Name

Is there a way to call a Windows API that will return the name of the report that is currently running?? Seems Reports doesn't offer any method to retrieve the filename of the executable .rep file during report execution so one can place the name in the headings. Has anyone had any luck doing this without passing the report name in as a parm?, etc.?
Thanks

Hello Tariq,
You can use the SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME builtin to get the current report's name programmatically at runtime. Please refer the Reports Online Help for further information and examples for using this builtin.
