Schemas for Different Sequence Files

I have a database that is storing my results from Test Stand. I'm having trouble creating the tables for the 6 different sequel files in the same database. I tried making a new schema to rename all the tables, but I cant execute a new SQL window to build the tables because all the files I have to open are the text files TestStand supplies which all create the same table names. Do I have to create all those text files myself to make the tables for a new schema? As you all can see I am a struggling novice. Thanks for the help.

Hi Roons,
It appears you must be using a TestStand version prior to 3.0. TestStand 3.0 and above have a utility to build a .SQL file directly from your schema. With your version, you still have 2 options:
1. You still have the default schema .SQL files in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2.0.1\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\Database directory that you can work against. You can use these as a template for creating the CREATE TABLE statements for your particular database.
2. You could open up your database in TestStand Database Viewer (Click the View Data button of the Data Link tab in Database Options) and can then use the Right Click options to Add the tables and columns you need and, if necessary, drop any tables that you don't need. If you are not familiar with SQL, this may be easier to do.
Give either method a shot and please repost with any other questions you have as you go through this process. Thanks and have a good one.

How do I generate documentation for a sequence file hierarchy?

I am trying to generate documentation for all of the sequence files used in my test suite. Some of the tests are kinda complex with nesting to eight to ten levels with hundreds of sequence files. The sequence file documentation tool will only let you document the active sequence file and there doesn't appear to be any way to recursively search for the sequence files in LV or TS. Does anyone have a way to do this?

Hi lars,
For each sequencefile you will need to create a reference to it by use of the Engine.GetSequenceFile() method.
Next create a new context by using the SequenceFile.CreateNewContext(), use the SequenceFileObj reference returned by the GetSequenceFile() method.
Once you have the SeqenceContext reference, use this as the parameter to the second step which calls a dll in docgen.seq, (sorry can not remember what is called at the moment). The at the moment this parameter is ThisContext reference. Probably best to make a copy of this sequencefile (docgen.seq) and make the modification to the copy.
On the second step, open up the specify module dialog and change the ThisContext to your new variable holding your new SequenceContext. Close the sepecify dialog.
Some where in your cleanups you will need to set the New Sequence Context to Nothing and call the ReleaseSequenceFile() method passing it the sequencefile reference. Releasing the reference to the sequence file maybe a bit tricky because if the engine is still using the reference, then it will not be released.
I have tried this and it did generate a document of a sequencefile not previously loaded. My only problem was releasing the sequencefile.
I am not suggesting that this is a usable solution, because you wouldn't want the dialog window opening up for each sequence file. This maybe a starting point for you.

How do I select a database schema to use for a sequence file?

I have multiple database schemas on my TestStand system and when I select a sequence file I need to set the schema so the results get entered into the database correctly.
I use a SequenceFileCallback for DatabaseOptions in my sequence file and in this I set Parameters.DatabaseOptions.DatabaseSchema.Name='xyz' where xyz is the database schema name that needs to be used. This does not work and it reports an error that it can not be loaded or the file may be corrupted. Does this feature work or do I just have an error in what I am setting this equal to?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi plf,
It seems to me you are going about this the right way. The DatabaseOptions callback is called immediately before the process model fetches the schema statements based on the schema name. I was able to change the schema on the fly in the same way you are attempting (using the default sequential model and TestStand 4.1).
Ensure you are using a schema that is defined in the Database Options Dialog (Configure»Database Options»Schemas Tab»Schemas Listbox).
Ensure you are using the exact name of the desired schema (copy it from the Name textbox in the above Schemas Tab).
Ensure that choosing this schema manually works when you run this sequence file (to be sure it is not corrupted).
Check that you are using double quotation marks around the schema name, not single marks as in your post.

RELAX NG or Schematron schemas for Pages XML file format?

Hey, I have been following with interest for over a year - more like two years - the whole "where are the XML schemas" for Keynote 1, and then Pages and Keynote 2.
Apparently there is some difficulty obtaining them and I would guess that means defining them. Because if Apple had their hands on them, they would be out - and up to date - by now.
XML Schema (.xsd) files are pretty painful to generate. There is a much simpler and and yet even more powerful schema format called "Relax NG". Assuming someone knows what the grammar is that Pages will willingly/successfully slurp up - they could probably create a .rnc file from scratch pretty quickly. The learning curve is pretty short for basic stuff and the amount of typing required is at least 40% less than when you create a .xsd file.
Some things do not lend themselves to grammar based schemas like XSD, RNG, or RNC.
Instead, a rule based schema language works better. Schematron is very good for this. The suffix for this file type is ".sch". The web site is easy to get to - just type schematron in your web browser's address field and press enter. Specs are all there.
There is a program called Examplotron that creates a Schematron schema for you, given an XML file that is a sample. Of course, making rules from one example is not the same as knowing all the rules. The more different kinds of stuff you have in the file though, the better your chances are of getting a decent start going. Examplotron lives on the web at examplotron.org in case you are curious.
OxygenXML is a very, very good XML editor and schema development environment. I have used it and a bunch of others. It is my favorite, by far.
Someone at Apple should get on this. If it is too hard to create an XML Schema file - then please, please - try to create an RNG, RNC, or SCH file.
If Apple cannot do it, then perhaps the user community could take a crack at it. However, it is a little bit like trying to document the laws of a country by watching what the government people do, what people do who do not get arrested, and what people do who do get arrested.
You are not certain to see an example of every law being broken - for starters, so you will miss some. (One hopes you will not see every law that exists broken!)
You are also not going to be able to tell what laws have influenced behavior that is lawful.
So, for both reasons, you might unwittingly "break the laws" of this hypothetical land. In that case, you might be executed, fined, imprisoned, or as is the case still in some countries - have your hand chopped off!
In the case of feeding a file based on mistaken assuptions to Pages, it certainly will not do what you want it do do. In theory, it might even crash, lose some data, pop up an error - or worse maybe not pop up an error, or corrupt its internal structures and become unstable. Or seem to work but fail to write the whole file out again. Or write out something that it cannot read in again - or does not reconstitute into the document that you used to have.
Granted, there is a brute force technique that can be employed. You can write an AppleScript that gets pages to create a document that exercises every possible style and feature and logical ordering and nesting of things.
Then you can study the XML that generates, or even feed to to Examplotron or a DTD generator.
Doing so would probably be a way to get a good start going.
Without any schema, there is no way to know if a complex program-generated Pages document will work right with pages.
Granted, such program-generated documents can be generated with Applescripts. But if one already has some XML that one wants to blend in, for example - then it would be better to do it with XSLT. Or Java. Or whatever.
Unfortunately, you really have to know what XML is legal in pages - and you have to know the grammar or rules for what Pages expects.
So, any XSD coming from Apple in the near future - or any interest at Apple in completing a .rnc or .rng schema if it gets mostly done by customer(s) and then handed off to Apple to finish?

XML converter (an add on to Inbound Refinery) could be used to display the contents with your XSLT choices but analyzing the file to prevent checkin would take data validation that would be custom. The CS does not care the file format or file type for checkin. Others have looked for analysis of file extension to stop checkin of certain extensions. This has been custom. I think there may be enhancement requests from customers for this kind of validation for the CS but it does not exist in the core yet.

How to pass local variables between different sequence files?

Actually i want to pass the data (local variable) from my process model file to a client file. The client file only has the callbacks and those callbacks require some parameters as input which is available in local variables of my process model sequence file. I do not want to use Station Globals.
Please tell me any other way by which i can pass that data.

Which Locals do you want from the model. Every sequence has it's own Locals and there are a bunch of sequences in every process model. Do you want the entry point's Locals? A callback's Locals? Just one of the sequence's Locals? Some Models have way more entry points than others. What if your sequence file is ran with a different entry point?
One option is to create your own callback in the model and pass the data to it as parameters. Then add that callback to your client sequence file and get it out of the parameters.
If you simply want the entry point's locals and you are in your Main Sequence then you could use RunState.Caller.Locals.VariableName. This assumes you will use the same entry point every time you run that sequence file. Or assumes that every entry point you run has the same Local variable name.
Maybe there is an API method that exposes what you are looking for. What is your goal?

Can DTD schema for a XML file be a data source to the Crystal Reports?

Hi All,
We are trying to generate a crystal report having XML file as a source. And we want to use the DTD schema for the source XML file.
Please suggest whether DTD schema can be used for crystal reports or not.
Thanks
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
I think it should work.
1) Use this pdf for your reference
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90faaea7-8e1e-2b10-e6a7-ea82e11d9e8b ]
2)if in case it does not help you can convert existing DTD to XSD using this online converter
[http://www.hitsw.com/xml_utilites/]
and then use for generating report from XML file.

Where can I find the schema for config.xml file of jax-rpc

For the xrpcc tool I need to create a config.xml file, does any body know where can I find the schema for it?

http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/JAXRPCxrpcc.html and all your questions will be answered... except maybe why aren't these pages linked from the main index anymore? (they were when 1.0 of the tutorial was released, but then there were no docs for wscompile or wsdeploy. The JAX-RPC release notes fixed the latter, but around 1.0_01 they broke the former.)

Writing schema for pipe delimited file

Hi all,
I have to write a pipe delimited file (|) in .txt at a particular location. I am not seeing this option in native schema creation.
The file should be written in following format:
Header1
Line1
Line2
Line3
Header2
Line1
Line2
Line3
Can we write a schema for such kind of scenario?
Here is an example for the format specified above:
Orderno1|Customer1|site1
Partno1|price1|Quantity1
Partno2|price2|Quantity2
Partno3|price2|Quantity1
Orderno2|Customer2|site2
Partno1|price2|Quantity2
Partno1|price2|Quantity2
Partno2|price2|Quantity3
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek.

Hi Abhishek,
You are right there is no option in native schema creation wizard for generating '|' delimiter file.
But you can achieve this problem with another approach.
step 1: Create schema file for ',' (comma) delimiter through native format builder wizard.
step 2: open the created XSD file and replace ',' with '|' option in terminatedBy command of each element.
step 3: Attach this updated XSD file to your outbound(write) service.
Thanks

Changing File path for different TIFF files in a For loop

Hi dear users:
I am using "IMAQ write TIFF File.vi" that basically writes a TIFF file to a specified file path. However, I would like to CHANGE the file path for each TIFF file i save in a for loop. The reason for this is that the File path has to include the file name and I do not want to write over the same file name all the time in a for loop. What I would like to have are sequential TIFF images. So if the file name would be "Image", I would like the result to be Image0, Image1, Image2 and so forth when I run my For loop. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Use the "Format Into String" and the "Build Path" functions:

Can I create a global custom step type, available for all sequence files through a single copy?

I would like to create a custom step type and make it available to any (new or existing) sequence file, without having to copy/paste it every time, to avoid maintenance problems...

Hi Andre,
You need to create the custom step type in the station view rather in the sequence file view.
There's a step type button near the Users Button.
Click on this button then proceed in creating the custom step type as you would have done in the sequence file.
If you are using TS 1.0.x then the new step type will be added to the types palette.ini.
If you are using TS 2.0 then will be able generate a new group ini file to hold your custom step types.

Keeping the Project workflow for different sequences

I apologize if the title wasn't clear enough.
In example:
Imagine I transcode some movie files to ProRes422, edit them in a 720p sequence (for faster rendering) and then export the final edit to some friendly viewing format. Later on, I decide I want to use a 1080p sequence instead. Will I be able to keep all the markers, cuts, etc and use that saved info in a new sequence, ready to export?
TIA

30p wrapped, means it's not real progressive. It was wrapped from a 60 interlaced into 30 progressive.
Never heard this terminology. Don't know what wrapping has to do with it. Whatever.
When you edit in an FCP sequence either your 720p media is being upresed to 1080 or your 1080 media is being downresed to 720. I don't know what you need to do, but if the majority of your media is 1080, if that's your primary program media, I wouldn't downres it.
You can edit in a 720p sequence and render as you go and then duplicate the sequence, change the settings of the duplicate to 1080, then copy and paste from the 720 sequence, then remove the clip attributes to bring the 1080 material up to size. You'll then have to scale up the 720p media.

How to Enable Q&A for Different Excel File

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Power BI here, so I got few questions that maybe one of you can answer.
I have few excel files that I uploaded to my shared document, and I want to enable Q&A on all of them. However, I don't want to mix all the data together in one Q&A, since those files are data from different clients.
Can I have multiple Q&A, of which each Q&A has only 1 document (workbook) associated with it?
Thanks,
Steven

Searching for only sequence files

I think the advanced search field is missing a few options. For example, I am unable to just search for the types of files, namely FCP project files.
Anyone have a workaround (or maybe i'm missing something)

There are a few ways you can do this.
1) Do and advanced search with: Filename 'End With' .fcp
2) Do a 'Contains' search for 'x-finalcutpro-bin' (this is the FCP mime type
3) Add the 'Mime Type' field to the Advanced search. To do this you need to add that field to the 'Asset Filter' metadata group.
Once you've decided which one you like (I do number 3 myself), then you can save as a Smart Search. Now you've got an easy way to find your FCP project files.

Query to find the string in the schema for different tables

Hi all,
Is the output possible :
1) Schema with N number of tables where N>100
2) You have string Say 'abc' and u dont know which column of the 100 tables of the schema this string falls.
3)you want to retrieve the table name, column name and expected string
Output:
Table name column name expected string
A a_id “abc”
D d_add “abc”

You could probably adapt this solution that michaels provided ages ago (and which you'd have found if you bothered to search)...
michaels> var val varchar2(5)
michaels> exec :val := 'as'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
michaels> select distinct substr (:val, 1, 11) "Searchword",
                substr (table_name, 1, 14) "Table",
