Set TestStand Configuration Directory

HI,
I'm trying to set TestStand Cfg directory from a LabVIEW OI (I customized the full featured OI shipped with TestStand). This works fine only if I restart TestStand. I understand I only need to shutdown the Engine. My question is how can I restart the Engine without restarting everything? (there is no such thing as a Start Engine method) Could a GetEngine method work? What would be the best way to accomplish this task? I don't want my customer to restart the software.
I need to set the configuration directory because different softwares might be installed on the same station with different configurations (different station globals for example), or maybe developping 2 applications for 2 clients on the same computer.
Ps: I also posted this question on LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/14439-configuring-teststand-cfg-directory/
Thank you all in advance,
Regards,

Hello Rodéric,
                   i want to set Cfg folder path through operator interface.vi so I've placed the following program into operator interface.vi before intitalize.vi (the operator interface.vi is located @ C:\Programm files\National Instruments\Testsand2010\opeartor Interface\LabVIEW.....)
            The Teststand maneger reference from operator interface.vi is passes through this vi, as i run the operator interface.vi this program executes without error but i get error at the next property node "IApplicationMgr --> Start" which is placed into intialize.vi
Error : Two Application maneger is opened
          I have tried two options, for each i get same error, the options are as follows
1) The TSUI.IApplication maneger reference is opened and closed in operator interface as well as the above program seperately
2) I have passed only one TSUI.IApplication maneger reference through out operator interface
Thanks & Regards

Change of configuration Directory programmatic ...

Hello,
we are searching for a way to change the TestStand configuration Directory programmatically ...
Before a sequence will be loaded... (maybe within the sequence file callback - SequenceFileLoad - if possible)
(Menue: Configure>Station Options>Preferences [Configuration Directory])
Is the TestStand API a workable way? ... Maybe someone of you have a nice example...
Greetings from Germany
Norbert

Hello Norbert,
we're doing that by a registry file before we open Teststand.
Create a test file, enter
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\TestStand\3.5]
"CfgLocation"="c:\\myProject\\myConfigLocation"
and save it with extention ".reg". On a double-click, windows sets the config location to C:\myconfigLocation. See attached file.
By the way, if the directory doesn't exist, Teststand creates it on startup. But if the drive doesn't exist, it refuses to start with ugly error messages.
But as mentioned, we switch the location when Teststand is closed.
Schöne Grüße vom Bodensee

ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
Is this something to worry about?

Hi Joel,
You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering

Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:

How to set the working directory for reports in linux

Hi All,
Can you anyone help me to set the working directory for oracle application server 10g reports? I am using RHEL4 and AS10g. Actually i want to run my reports from my define
working directory. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance
Arif

Hi,
your rep_srv.conf should look like something like
+<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>+
+<!DOCTYPE server PUBLIC "-//Oracle Corp.//DTD Reports Server Configuration //EN" "file:D:\oracle\FRHome_1/reports/dtd/rwserverconf.dtd">+
+<server version="10.1.2.0.2">+
++
++
+<cache class="oracle.reports.cache.RWCache">+
+<property name="cacheSize" value="50"/>+
++
++
++
+</cache>+
+<engine id="rwEng" class="oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl" initEngine="1" maxEngine="3" minEngine="0" engLife="50" maxIdle="30" callbackTimeOut="90000" jvmOptions="-Xmx512M -Xss512K">+
++
++
++
+</engine>+
+...+
some more definitions
+..+
++
+<pluginParam name="xmlpds" type="file">xmlpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="jdbcpds" type="file">jdbcpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="textpds" type="file">textpds.conf</pluginParam>+
*<environment id="APP1">*
*+<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/application1/reports"/>+*
*+</environment>+*
*+<environment id="APP2">+*
*+<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/application2/reports"/>+*
+</environment>+
+</server>+
The environment ids you can choose yourself and you have to put them in there yourself too (here I put two environments for two different applications "1" and "2").
If you call a report from Forms, then you have to code something like
ADD_PARAMETER(p_list,'ENVID',TEXT_PARAMETER,'APP1');
Details depend on how you call your reports, my example is for using a parameter list and calling a report out of application1
Hope that helps.

Purpose of Separate Configuration Directory

I know that Sun best practices recommend that the configuration directory instance be separated (placed on a different physical server) in a directory environment.
Other than the ability to manage all directories in a single administration domain, what does this accomplish?
Is there anything in a replicated multi-master environment that would require such a setup, with all master and consumer instances pointing to the same configuration directory?
Is it possible to set up a replicated multi-master environment with configuration directories on each individual server?
When do "user" directories need to access the configuration directory instance, other than during initial setup? If the configuration directory is on the WAN relative to a user directory, could inability to access the config directory prevent the user directory from starting/stopping/accepting requests/otherwise functioning?
Thanks in advance.

I don't disagree, however I think you can go too far. If everything is in one o=netscapeRoot, it's like putting all your eggs in one basket. If you loose that directory, you loose console access on all SunOne instances. And while having a multi-master config directory aleviates the problem somewhat, usually loosing the config directory does not occurr because of a hardware problem - rather user error or an upgrade gone bad - and the error usually replicates just fine. Backups are key before any operations that changes or could potentially chage the config instance. Personally I like to have one config instance per <Server Root>. It does not take much in resources.

Global Configuration Directory

I have installed the latest version (1.5.1 build 5440) on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit.
If i launch the application from the terminal it allows me to set up connections from the tnsnames.ora file.
If I launch it from the menu it does not. It appears that my environment variables (such as TNS_ADMIN) are not used when I launch the application from the menu.
The User Guide refers to the Global Configuration Directory but does not say where or what it is.
Please point me in the right direction.
Regards;
Robert

Chris;
Yes all my environmental variables are set in .bashrc. I created a .bash_profile and even a .profile with all the relevant Oracle environmental variables. There is no difference.
Is there a file like <sqldeveloper_home>/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf where I can set the TNS_ADMIN path in the same way that I set the JAVA_PATH?
Can I set it in the <sqldeveloper_home>/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf file, and if so what would I call it?
I have tried setting TNS_ADMIN in the sqldeveloper.conf file, it did not work.

Robert

Replicating Configuration Directory

Hello,
I have replicated my config directory (o=NetscapeRoot) from one server (ldap1) to a second server(ldap2). My question is, what do I need to change on my directory servers (ldap2, ldap3, ldap4) to use the configuration directory on ldap2 if ldap1 goes down?
I am running DS5.2.
I appreciate any help you may be able to give.
Thanks,
Eric

So you have 2 config dirs. You import the one into the other and then replicate that back to the other one you just dumped. Now you have what you need.
We use an alteon by nortel. Both configs run on the same port but they dont have to. You set a virtual host for the port up on the alteon in failover mode to direct all traffic to one and fail over to the other if the first one is down. I then went and set my actual directory servers to look at that virtual.

How to set the target directory from source filename using adaptor module.

Access/set dynamic configuration in client/server abap proxy

Hi,
I have 2 question regarding reading/setting dynamic configuration in ABAP proxies:
1) Is it possible to set dynamic configuration objects in a server abap proxy (SAP --> XI)?
When looking at the class CL_PROXY_FRAMEWORK is looks as if it is possible. This class has en attribute IF_XMS_MAIN~DY which is a reference to the class CL_XMS_MSGHDR30_DYNAMIC.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to try and access the dynamic configuration objects via this class or if I'm supposed to use the GET_PROTOCOL method in some manner as suggested by:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/51/d5cd16235e4643ae8ec92395c4ad97/frameset.htm
Above link is for client proxies not server, and I've been unable to find any documentation on this for server proxies.
2) The same question goes for server proxies (XI --> SAP), though now I would like to set some dynamic configuration data.
This I believe should be done using get_protocol( if_wsprotocol=>ws_header ) as indicated by before mentioned link.
However in both cases I'm not sure of if it is indeed possible and which road to choose for sure. So a hint or 2 would be really nice.
Best Regards,
Daniel
ps. maybe I should just mention that I am pretty new to the ABAP world, so bear with me.

The link that you gave does give you an example for both server and client proxies:
Accessing Protocol Classes for Client Proxies
In client proxies, you access the protocol class by using the GET_PROTOCOL method. Below is an example for the IF_WSPROTOCOL_PAYLOAD protocol:
DATA:
lo_clientProxy      TYPE REF TO co_clientProxy,
lo_payload_protocol TYPE REF TO if_wsprotocol_payload
lo_payload          TYPE REF TO if_ws_payload.
CREATE OBJECT lo_clientProxy.
Get Protocol Class Using Method GET_PROTOCOL
lo_payload_protocol ?=
       lo_clientProxy->get_protocol( if_wsprotocol=>payload ).
CALL METHOD lo_clientProxy->execute_synchronous
            EXPORTING output = ls_request
            IMPORTING input   = ls_response.
Use Protocol Methods
lo_payload = lo_payload->get_sent_request_payload( ).
Accessing Protocol Classes for Server Proxies (XI Only)
Within the implementation of a server proxy, you get the protocol class by using the CL_PROXY_ACCESS=>GET_SERVER_CONTEXT( ) method:
DATA: lo_server_context   TYPE REF TO if_ws_server_context,
       lo_payload_protocol TYPE REF TO if_wsprotocol_payload.
lo_server_context   = cl_proxy_access=>get_server_context( ).
lo_payload_protocol =
     lo_server_context->get_protocol( if_wsprotocol=>payload ).

Setting Additional Document Directory in Sunone 6.1 SP1

Tried to run a testfile (index.htm) from an additional document directory in 6.1 SP1 on W2K (local), but it doesn't show up. What am I missing, doing wrong or forget?
Additional Document DIrectory setting:
Prefix: /test
Directory: c:/websites/test
in vsclass2.obj.conf (made a 2nd virtual class which is working for several sites) is written:
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/test" dir="c:/websites/test"
But I get this by using : http://hostname/test
Not Found
The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it.
Has it something to do with an ACL setting? If so, how do I control or config this?
Thanks for any assistance,

Hi Dustin,
I think you posted this to the wrong newsgroup :-)
In WLS 6.1, document roots are Web Application specific. Unless you explicitly
change it, the default Web Application (the one that you get when you type in
the http://localhost:7001 URL), the document root is a folder under your domain's
application directory named "DefaultWebApp_{name-of-your-server}". Where {name-of-your-server}
is whatever value you assigned to the -Dweblogic.Name property, on the command
line you started WLS with. Refer to the WLS 6.1 documentation for instructions
on how to change this to a different Web Application. Here are a couple of links
that will provide you with some insight into this:

How to set the 'Configuration Bits' in the PIC16F84

I am using the PIC16F84 in a circuit and I'm programming the assembly for the PIC. However I can't figure out how to set the configuration bits. For example I want to select the LP Oscillator, turn the WDT off, turn the PUT on, and turn the CP off. Normally if I was using the IDE from Microchip I would add the line:
_CONFIG H'3FF0'
However Multsim does not recognize this as a valid code. In addition the P16F84.inc file contains the following definitions:
_CP_ON                       EQU     H'000F'
_CP_OFF                      EQU     H'3FFF'
_PWRTE_ON                 EQU     H'3FF7'
_PWRTE_OFF                   EQU     H'3FFF'
_WDT_ON                      EQU     H'3FFF'
_WDT_OFF                     EQU     H'3FFB'
_LP_OSC                      EQU     H'3FFC'
_XT_OSC                      EQU     H'3FFD'
_HS_OSC                      EQU     H'3FFE'
_RC_OSC                      EQU     H'3FFF'
What is the code though to select which options you want to use?

Try this code:
_CONFIG _CP_OFF & _PWRITE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _LP_OSC
I tried this in the assembler and it didn't return any error messages when compiling. I found this in a PIC Book that I downloaded off the internet.
I hope it works for you. I am new to the MCU Module and learning about it so don't consider me an expert on it by a long shot.

Use of configuration directory server

Maybe this is a dumb question but since I dont know the answer:
Does one need to buy a production license of the Directory Server to use as a configuration directory server?
I will have six web servers in my production environment. But only one or two admin user accounts for secure access.
Thank,
-amit

Both 2005Q1 and 2005Q4 are considered 6.2. I would
use 2005Q4. Actually, I DID use 2005Q4.
Why use bits that are already superceeded? Is it the
cost of 4 CD's?So, can this happen in two separate stages?:
1. First upgrade all directory servers to 5.2p4 and migrate the current messaging server 5.2 configuration.
2. At a later date, once directory services have been upgraded and are stable, the upgrade of the messaging server can be done.
Thanks
