TestStand continuously probing its search directories for changes

TestStand will continuously probe the search directories for any changes to directories, subdirectories, and files.  The sequence and LabVIEW VI's are stored on a file server.  The client test station PC, running the test, loads the sequence and VI's off of the server.  During the execution of the test TestStand will ask the server every couple of seconds if any folders and files within the TestStand search directory listings has changed.  This constant probing of the server files is consuming much LAN bandwidth.  I know this because my IT department has connected a packet sniffer to the network.  We can see the PC, at TestStand's request, is continuously asking the server for folder or file changes.  How can this be deactivated?

A couple more things to check:
- Do you have a process model or step type on the network drive?
- Are you unloading step modules unnecessarily (ie. Unload Option: After Step Executes)?
You could also pull the network cable out once all the modules and files have been loaded and you aren't expecting it to need any more network files. Then perhaps you would get an error message indicating what file is still being retrieved.

  • TestStand Upgraded but lost search directorie​s

    Hi:
    I just upgraded TestStand  from 3.1 to 4.2.  When I tried to run a sequence file, TestStand asked me where a vi was.  it's clear that its TestStand asking.
    How can I port over the list of Search Directories from 3.1 to 4.2.
    Thanks,

    Mike,
    The TestStand search directories are stored in TestExec.ini, one of the TestStand configuration files.  If you wanted to move the search directories from one version to another, you could simply open the original file and copy the Search Directories section to the destination TestExec.ini file.  There are many options contained inside TestExec.ini in addition to search directories and some of those may have changed between versions, so you don't want to copy over the entire file, just the pertinent information.
    The TestExec.ini file is in an ASCII text format, however if you want to copy information inside any of the other .ini files, you may want to be aware of the fact that in TestStand 4.0 and later, some of these files aren't in ASCII format by default.   You can refer to this help article for more information.

  • Searching directories for specific file extensions

    I wanted to try something, and that was to create a file with basic text loos it some where on the HD and make a program that would search the directories (So lets say you put in C:\bla\ ) for the file matching the extention (already set by the program) as say .doc - it would then open all of those files (while loop) and scan them recording data (which im not sure what yet) and printing specific data to a file
    most of this I know how to do including nav to the directory, what i dont know how to do is make the program scan the directory for the file and open it.

  • How can I use a different search path for FlexRIO IO modules?

    I want to use an IO module that is outside of the LabVIEW tree, but it seems like LabVIEW only searches in shared/flexrio/IO modules, and I can't figure out how to create symlinks in windows.
    Is there a variable I can set somewhere to include other search directories for the IO modules?

    Hello Olaf,
    There are two locations on your Windows computer that are searched for FlexRIO adapter module support files.  The first is the Program Files directory you have indicated in your post; this directory holds the support files for NI manufactured adapter modules.  However, there is another directory that can be used for the location of any non-NI manufactured adapter modules.  For Windows XP this location is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\FlexRIO\IO Modules.  If you are attempting to install support for a non-NI manufactured adapter module, please ensure that you have installed all of the adapter module support files into this folder. 
    If you would like more information on this as it pertains to a custom adapter module development, please email the support email address listed in your Module Development Kit Manual.  This email address will give you direct access to the NI FlexRIO R&D team for support as indicated here.  If you want to discuss adding the ability to search other directories for adapter module support (other than the two listed above), please email the MDK support email address.

  • Search by folder name? Monitor folders for changes?

    Im a long time PC user that LOVED how Picasa automatically indexed any locations that I told it to keep track of. I just got Aperture - but so far I am utterly disappointed in the search function.
    When I used to import all of my photos the folder that each import would go under would be the events title.
    For instance if I shot a wedding I would name the folder "John Smith" because in picasa I could just search for "Smith" and it would have all of the files in that folder as results - regardless of their metadata.
    So here I am with a 2 week old Macbook that I love - but I cant find any of the photos that I want to find.
    My library has roughly 40K images - so without the ability to search by folder names it takes me forever to find the files I am looking for.
    *Surely I am an idiot and just dont know how to search by folder name - can someone enlighten me?*
    Also - is it possible for Aperture to monitor certain folders for changes - for instance if I save something to my library folder from photoshop - do I then have to import that one file I just saved? Picasa would just display it under the folder its in - is there any programs for Macs that behave like this?

    aperture can indeed search on the project title. a little harder to find in the filter dialog, but it is there.
    but again, you'll have to import your data differently than i think you did the first time.
    i'm sorry that you're not happy with Aperture doing what you want, but then again, you're upset because it doesn't work with you're old folder structure. Not every application can be expected to be designed for every possible methodology that someone used to manage their existing data. It was set up to be used more visually than your old method and if you can't take the time to organize your photos when you import them to Aperture, then you're right, it probably isn't for you.
    i would suggest you watch the tutorial on searching to see all of the additional metadata you can search by, maybe it would help in some way.... but if not, good luck with LR

  • How to Change the default Search value for Field Role?

    HI,
    I went through numerous threads on how to default the search value , but does not help for my issue. Hence im posting this new thread. Please provide your suggestions on how to achieve this.
    For the Ship-to party field (in item detail )  on webui when i do a F4 help i get the pop up with various search criteria and  for the field Role the default value is "Ship-to party".  which is visible. we need to change this default value to Prospect which is available in drop down.
    The attribute is STRUCT.ROLE  and view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/SearchHelp . The method GET_DQUERY_VALUEHELPS  from the context node class is called to fill the value help for this attribute, but i dont understand how the ship-to party is filled as default. There is no code in this method to default the value.
    The generic GET_V_S_STRUCT method also does not default the Ship-to party on this field.
    I want to understand how this Ship-to party is filled by default and how can i change this to prospect..
    Many Thanks,
    Shaik

    We had a same requirement of defaulting Sales org and division in search criteria for a specific value.
    this can be doen by redefining "DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT" method in IMPL class for the respective view.
    See the code:
    METHOD do_prepare_output.
    *CALL METHOD SUPER->DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT
    **  EXPORTING
    **    iv_first_time = ABAP_FALSE
      DATA:

    * Get current query object
      lr_qs ?= me->typed_context->search->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
      IF iv_first_time = abap_true.
        lr_qs->clear_selection_param_values( ).
        lr_qs->delete_empty_selection_params( ).
    *   if l_sales_orgs is initial.

  • The last apple ID used on my App Store is stuck how do I change back to my apple ID? I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, help?

    help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

  • Change Search Help for Payment Terms Field

    Hi,
    I would like to change the Search Help for Payment Terms Field, in Customer Master (KNVV-ZTERM). and in Sales Document. I believe it is the same.
    Default is From Table T052 / T052U
    ZTERM  and TEXT1  Fields
    I would like to have
    From Table TVZBT
    ZTERM and VTEXT
    PayT    Own Explanation Field.
    Can we change the Search Help.

    Hi,
      The search help for the payment terms is not coming from the DDIC search help..
      It is coded in the process on value-request event...
      The function module FI_F4_ZTERM is called for this..you have to change this function module in case if you want the values from a different table..
      OR do implicit enhancement in the subroutine FORM HELP_ZTERM in the include MF02DFH0 to call your search help instead of the function module FI_F4_ZTERM ..And do the same for the sales order also..
    Thanks

    Hi,
    it is possible to have different search help for same table column for different context elements i.e. table lines. the way to acheive this is by using cell variants in table column.
    Steps to follow:
    1. In your table column insert cell variant. Depending upon number of variations for search help, insert that number of cell variants in table column
    2. Enter the value of variant key property of each cell variant for ex. 01 for first cell variant and 02 for second cell variant
    3. Insert cell editor for each of cell variant. for ex. if you have 2 different search helps for single column then insert two cell variant in table column and for each cell variant insert cell editor, let say input field in this case
    4. Bind the value property of each input field to different context attribute of the node. for ex: you have table with two columns i.e. Dynamic and fldate
    .  First column is Dynamic. It will have two cell variants and each cell variant have cell editor of type input field  i.e. depending upon the value of second column i.e. fldate, the search help of first column will be decided.
    5.  Create context node from structure "SFLIGHT" and select 3 components from structure i.e. Carrid, connid, fldate. Add another context attribute to same context node i.e. selected_cell_variant of type string
    6. Bind each of context attribute carrid and coonid to value property of cell editor i.e. input field of cell vairaints from column Dynamic
    7. Bind value property of cell editor i.e. input field of fldate column to context attribute fldate
    8.. Bind selectedCellVariant property of table column Dynamic to context attribute selected_cell_variant
    9. Now, Write method at the wddoinit of view to fill up the context node from table sflight table
    10.  Write event handler for event OnEnter of cell editor from table column FLDATE. in this event handler depnding upon the date set the value of context attribute "selected_cell_variant" to 01 or 02
    DATA lv_date TYPE S_DATE.
      ASSERT CONDITION context_element IS NOT INITIAL. " context_element is default paramter for event handler
      context_element->get_attribute(
        EXPORTING
          name  = 'FLDATE'    " NAME
        IMPORTING
          value = lv_date    " DATA
      IF lv_date > '20101016'.
        context_element->set_attribute(
          EXPORTING
            value =  '01'   " Attribute Value
            name  = 'SELECTED_CELL_VARIANT'     " Web Dynpro: Name of Context Element
      ELSE.
        context_element->set_attribute(
          EXPORTING
            value =  '02'   " Attribute Value
            name  = 'SELECTED_CELL_VARIANT'     " Web Dynpro: Name of Context Element
      ENDIF.
    11. Depending upon the value of selectedCellVariant the corresponding search help will show up in table column. So change the value of column fldate for each table row and see how search help gets changed.
    Thanks,

  • Change search help for field 'customer' in Trade Promotion

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to change the search help for the customer field (CRM_MKTPL_TRADE-CUSTOMER_ID search help: CRM_MKTPL_CAMPAIGN_CUST_ID) to one of my own.
    How can I do this?
    I would also like to change the search help for each partner function in the partner-tab. Is this the same procedure as above?
    Regards,
    Friederike

    Hi Friederike,
    If I have understood your question correctly then here is the answer.
    You can change the search help for the required filed. All you have to do is: Go to the table CRM_MKTPL_TRADE. Then look for the field CUSTOMER_ID. Change only the description of the field. then you can search by the description whenever you require.
    But the procedure will not be same if you want to change the search help for partner functions. In this case you have to change the descriptionof these partner functions in the transaction BP. 
    But why do you require it, because the partner functions will be determined automatically.
    Hope it helps.

  • Change Search help for Location in Schedule creation screen(NWBC)

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to change the standard search help for Location field in Standard stop sequence of Schedule creation in NWBC.
    Presently, the search help for the location field is a webdynpro component WDR_F4_ELEMENTARY .Is there any possibility to replace with the custom search help.
    Can anybody please let me know how to replace the search help.
    Thanks&Regards,
    Sharmista.

    Hi
    I suppose you may create a component customizing for /SCMTMS/WDCC_SCH_C_LOC_ATS, and maintain your DDIC search help for location ID, this will replace the one assigned in structure:
    You may only maintain DDIC search help here, but if you have a custom developed search help, then you may need to go with another approach, in viewexit class (/SCMTMS/CL_UI_VIEWEXIT_SCH) adapt_fields (ADAPT_FIELDS), modify the attribute 'WD_VALUE_HELP' = custom search help.
    Hope it helps
