Reporting mechanism on HTML report file, using TestStand 2012 SP1

Hi,
I am using TestStand 2012 SP1, where the reporting mechanism is configured to be in HTML format.
I am not getting the full report of the sequence file which is executed, however I get a part of it printed on the HTML file.
The following are the configured "Report options",
===========
Contents Tab:
===========
Report Format : HTML Document
Default Numeric Format : %$.13f
Include Step Result: Checked
 Result Filtering Expression : Result.Status=="Failed"
 Include Test Limits : Checked
 Include Measurements : Checked
 Include Arrays : Insert Table
 Filter : Include All
Include Execution Times : Checked
On-The-Fly Rporting and Only Display Latest Results : Checked
Select a Report Generator for producing the Report Body : DLL
===========
Report File Pathname Tab:
===========
Generate Report File Path : Checked
 File Name/Directory Options : Specify Report File Path by Expression
 Report File Path (Sequential Model) :
 StationGlobals.TopLevelReportPath
 +RunState.ProcessModelClient.AsPropertyObjectFile.DisplayName+"Report_[<FileDate>]<Unique>.<FileExtension>"
Please let me know a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Dharani

Jason,
Thankyou for replying.
Yes, I need only the steps which had failed to print on the report file.
The problem what I am facing is, if there are 10 failed steps, the report is not printed for all.
Also the order of printing is not correct for the first step and the last step which is printed on the report file.
I had used "Post Expression" for printing data for all the failed steps. Normally these post expressions should be printed beneath the step in the report file.
However,
1) For the first step which is printed on the html file, the post expression gets printed just above the step and also it gets printed beneath the step.
2) For the last step which is printed on the html file, the post expression is not printed beneath the step.
Please let me know if i need to provide some more information.
Thanks,
Dharani

How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

Hi All,
I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WJ

Hello,
You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.

Deploy Java Updates using SCCM 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011

What is the best way to deploy Java updates using sccm 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011?

I didn´t find Kent´s blog useful when talking about Java. I can deploy Adobe products fine, but I have to import Java manually because not having Shavlik certificate. So with that said, I have the fallowing problem;
I have full offline installer unpacked, .msi file and Data1.cab. When I´m importing these binaries to SCUP, I only can point to .msi. Doing that, installation fails in client side fails because of lack of data1.cab fine, which is the main file.
Should I use some other downloaded files of Java? I couldn´t find any Java-update-file only type of files to download.

How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1

hi ,
do you know How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1?

As a side note, I made an interesting discovery last week: the SNMP Service is deprecated in Windows Server 2012. Why would you want to use SNMP on an actual Windows OS though? There are far better ways available to monitor Windows. I'm sure that lines
up with why they deprecated it.

Repository reports cannot generate HTML report

Hello
In our Computing Labs, we have Oracle9i Designer installed on Windows XP Professional.
Our students are having a problem when they try to Run Report in Repository Reports.
The student first sees an error message for Internet Explorer that says "Cannot find "file:///c:/docume~1/%username%/LOACLS~1/Temp/ck*.tmp.html". Make sure...". %username% of course being the current user and ck* being the filename of the report.
If the user examines the contents of ~/Local settings/Temp, they will see that when this error message comes up, there is a file ck*.tmp (no HTML extension). The HTML file is never generated though.
When the user click on the OK button for the error message, Internet Explorer open to a blank page. When IE is closed, Repository Reports posts a message that says "CDI-21309: Unable to delete file c:\docume~1\%username%\locals~1\Temp\ck*.tmp.html". When the OK button from this message is clicked the user is returned to Repository Reports, but the report is never generated.
Our users are set up as Dynamic Local Users, and are members of the Power Users group. We do have some pretty tight restrictions on Group Policy.
When a user who is a member of Administrators (also dynamic local user) logs in and attempts to create a report, (s)he has no problem. Repository Reports functions exactly as it should.
I have already given Power Users complete access to all files on the hard drive, so I don't think it could be an NTFS file permission issue.
If anyone has any advice, it is certainly welcome. Our students need to be able to print off these reports for classes, and I am not familiar at all with Designer.
Thank you very much

Here is how I resolved my problem with non admin users not being able to run reports.
Designer 9i ver 9.0.2.80.6
Repository Reports ver 9.0.2.80.4
Problem - When non Administrator users try to generate a report in Repository Reports, they either get a file not found error for the HTML report (and IE will not show the report) or Repository Reports stops responding (and rwrun.exe has to be manually killed).
Fixes
-%TMP% and %TEMP% environment variables must resolve to paths that are fewer than 30 characters. In our environment (WindowsXP with Novell Dynamic Local Users), %TMP% and %TEMP% were the temp folders in the user's profile, which is a long path. Changing the environment variables to point to c:\temp was one step in resolving the issue. Although there is a patch released related to this, my installed version is post-patch and I still had to change the temp environment variables.
-HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\REPORTS_TMP must be set to a writable area for the user group using Designer and Reports. In our environment it was set (during install) to the local administrators temp space (in administrators local profile) - I'd guess it gets set to whatever %TMP% or %TEMP% is for whichever user installs the application. Our users cannot write to this folder, so setting this registry value to c:\temp was another step in resolving the issue.
-c:\OraHome1\reports\logs must be writable for whichever user group is running Reports. Before making this change but after making the previous two changes, reports would simply freeze for Power Users. When trying to log off, rwrun.exe had to be manually killed - and sometimes a Dr Watson report would come up and ask to be sent in. By granting the user group that uses Reports write permissions to this folder (or the equivalent in your environment), Repositry Reports no longer freezes and successfully generates the HTML report.

How to play Windows AVI file using Teststand

Hi,
I'm trying to play a Windows AVI (*.avi) file using the Windows Media Player, launched by
a Teststand CallExecutable type step.
When the step executes, the Windows Media Player app. starts o.k., but the file to be played
causes an error which states the file type is not recognised.
Yet if the AVI file is selected in Windows Explorer, it runs fine, i.e. the file type is associated with
Windows Media Player.
If the 1st error is ignored, a 2nd is displayed. This states the file cannot be played, and suggests that
the path may be incorrect or the server is unavailable.
When configuring the Teststand CallExecutable step, the Argument Expression field contains the full
absolute address of the AVI (*.avi) file to load and play.
I have also tried using an expression and also placing the AVI file in the same directory as the
Windows Media Player .exe, but the file will still not play.
If I use the Run utility from the Windows Start menu, I can enter the same details on a single command
line, and the AVI (*.avi) loads and plays just fine.
What should I do to get Windows Media Player to run the AVI (*.avi) file using the Teststand CallExecutable step ?
thanks,
Gary.

Gary -
FYI, with TS 3.5, the MessagePopup step can also display html files. The html file can reference the player control and tell it to run immediately. The html code looks like this:

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

Prestaged OSD using SCCM 2012 SP1 windows Partition variable is not being set

Hello All I need some assistance with a workaround.
I am using a presaged task sequence created from a working network / PXE deployment TS for windows 7.
This TS sets a variable for the OS partition called "Windows" and the value is set in the Partition Disk task.
Problem is this value is not being read from a prestaged due to the OEMMedia condition skipping this partition and format task.
Question is how do I get it to read and or set the value for that partition?
From what I have found on Google this was an issue in beta of MDT but was fixed in RTM. I am not using MDT TS but I do have it installed. Any idea if this is a known issue with SCCM 2012 sp1 TS?
Edit: also noticed that the variable's case is different and will not let me change it.
Variable under format is "windows" variable under Apply OS is "Windows" when I change them to be the same then close and reopen they revert back to the above. Are these variables case sensitive?
Edit: for now I have changed it from variable to next available partition. I tested it twice so far it seems to be using the correct partition and it remains to be called the C drive. For now this will be my solution.

When you say "presaged task sequence created from a working network / PXE deployment TS" are you saying this is still a network boot process? Or have you done "Create Task Sequence Media"?
Dustin Estes - MCP
yes when i say prestaged that is using the create task sequence media then selecting prestaged.

Options for monitoring health of SCSM 2012 SP1 using SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi,
I've done some research on how to monitor SCSM using SCOM (version 2012 SP1 for both) and found two options:
Option 1 - Agent-based monitoring. With SCSM2012 SP1, it looks as though the agent is
already present (for upgrades and also for fresh installs). So it follows that SCOM will be able to monitor the health of SCSM.
Option 2 - Agentless monitoring. On the Technet
download page, 'System Requirements' section indicates compatibility with SCOM 2012 and above, and SCSM 2012 and above. Details tab says the following (emphasis mine):
This System Center Management Pack for System Center 2012 - Service Manager should be used to monitor
System Center 2012 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 - Service Manager
and includes monitors for the management server as well as the Data Warehouse server. In this release of the management pack, the Data Access Service, Health Service, Configuration Service, and workflows are monitored.
So it looks like both options are viable, but I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences of using one vs. the other. Is there any major difference in the information that's provided by agentless vs. agent-based monitoring, or are they just two
different ways of pulling the exact same information into SCOM?
Edit: Just occurred to me that SP1 isn't explicitly mentioned in the Technet article linked above under option 2. Has anyone successfully used agentless monitoring on SP1?

Printing Oracle Reports with values obtained from file using IO

Hi All,
We have decided to change the report writer tool from Brio SQR to Oracle Reports 6i. The design using Brio SQR was such that we used to populate all the values to be printed in a text file and then we use to populate the values in the BRIO reports using this file as an input.
We don't want to make many changes to the design at this stage. Can anybody suggest how can we use the text file as input to populate the different fields in the Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance.

Milind

Hi Miliand
Text Datasoucre is a Reports 9i feature. You can get the information on the feature overview at

How to define special character in html text file used in loadvars

Hi
I'm witing some maths software and need to use the division
sign in a text file which is loaded using LoadVars().
The variable loaded is then assigned to a text area. Here's
the variable example.
&hint1=<title>Challenge 1: Instant recall
of any table</title>Including table
divisions eg 56 ÷ 8= 
the division sign is missing or a just a box. I've already
tried most options: ÷ (which works in XML loaded to
flash), ÷ %F7
Can anyone help please?

Hi Michael. Thank you for your reply.
There is no declaration within sgm file itself - but while opening the file I use sgml application definition with the following settings:
Default API client: FmTranslator
SGML character encoding: ISO Latin1
XML character encoding: UTF-8
Namespace: Enable
CSS2 Preferences:
Generate CSS2: Disable
Add Fm CSS Attribute To XML: Disable
Retain Stylesheet Information: Disable
Entity locations
Entity search paths
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\Structure\sgml\isoents
So as you can see, character encoding is set to ISO Latin1 (there is no way to use UTF-8 encoding in sgml files)
Typing ź or ć in sgm document and opening it with framemaker sgml application - I receive: ¿æ and message: "Non-SGML character found; should have been character reference"
Everything works fine when I type f.ex.: &x016B; and insert appropriate reference lines into isolat1.rw and isolat1.ent files
But what I would like to avoid is editing those isoent files each time new character is be needed.

SUP in untrusted forest using SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi, I have a single primary site in a single domain/AD forest. I also have a single site system in an untrusted forest behind a firewall.
I have installed a DP and an MP onto this server in the untrusted forest and have now installed WSUS and added the SUP role. The SUP role has been installed, however the SUP in the untrusted forest isnt synching its catalog from the SUP in the primary
site.
In the Software Update Point Synchronisation Status, its source is specified as Microsoft Update, rather than the name of the Priamry Site server with the SUP role.
The relevant ports 80/443/8530/8531 are open between the two forests, but it doesnt appear to attempt to sync from the primary site.
How do I get this SUP to sync from the Primary site? I've tried setting a WSUS Server Connection Account, but this doesnt appear to make any difference.
Thanks for your help.
Carl

I had to remove the use of the proxy server at the primary SUP so that it downloads directly from the internet without the use of a proxy.
As soon as this was removed the untrusted SUP synchronised successfully. Even though the proxy isnt specified in the SUP properties of the untrusted site system, it still appears to use this when performing a sync.

Can I Monitor Xamp(apache) hosted web service(OpenEMR) using scom 2012 sp1

i have installed OpenEMR using xamp(apache,mysql) and now i want to monitor what are the various that has been done by the OpenEMR webisite on my local machine, can any one just help to finding out these things.

Hi,
Based on my research, this software can be installed as service or not as service, if it is installed as service, then we can use SCOM to monitor the service status. And if it is not installed as service, to monitor it, we may need to analysis logs written
by this software.
And if you want to know what this software did to your computer, I think this should be known by the software vendors, you may need to post thread there. And what I can tell is that we can monitor the computer healthy therefore to know whether something
is wrong with the computer, and then analysis the issue to know whether it is caused by the software.

How to Deploy exe application using SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi,
While creating deployment type wizard (for exe application deployment) , i am not able to see the "Windows Installer (native)" option in the drop down menu. Kindly refer snapshot. If i select "script installer" , deployment is not working.
I am taking it for adobe reader 9.1 exe application. Can anyone please suggest which option should i take.
Regards
Manish

I believe the thinking was that most people wrap their .exe in an .msi anyway, so that would have been way more common.
Really?
That seems bizarre to me. I guess, if this thinking occurred, it might have been based on the idea that lots of people are using Group Policy Software Installation (Intellimirror), since GPSI does a less-horrible job when you use MSI.
But, a lot of software I've seen, uses a setup.exe bootstrapper to launch one or more MSI's.
So, MSI wraps EXE wraps MSI would be the outcome of this thinking.
Which is why I chose the word... bizarre.
