TestStand Property Loader using a XML file

I would like to use Labview Cluster to build XML files (in LabView 6.1) that could be use by TestStand Property Loader.
Is it possible?

Harold,
The TestStand Property Loader step type only loads text, comma-delimited, or excel files.
As alternatives, you could make your own step type that would parse through the XML file to find the properties that you want to load. You could also use the excel VIs to write variable values to an excel file.
Good luck!

Can you use an XML file to make Subclips for you?

Hi everyone,
I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but I am wondering if I can use an XML file(made after logging a few tapes, but before capture) to make subclips for me?
Basically I have a painful project with 2 tapes i had to capture separately as 1 long individual clip each due to time-code breaks, but as i did first Log & Capture as usual (only to later find it wouldn't batch capture) i didn't want my hard work to go to waste!
Hope I explained that clearly enough,
Adam

I'm assuming you captured using the non-controllable device setting and have the clip including TC breaks and blank areas etc.
Try this:
Load the clip into the Viewer and play it. Press M to set markers wherever you want them.
If you want to give the marker a more decriptive name, press M a second time whilst the playhead is positioned on the marker. A dialog will open with text input fields. Or, click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.
Drag in the Browser to select all the markers or click the first one, then shift click the last one.
Choose Modify > Make Subclip. This will make all the subclips in one go and if you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone.

How can i load Client side XML file to Table

Hi,
How can i load the all the XML files (near 10,000 files) available in client machine to the XML table .
I did try with directrory list in the Webutility demo form, but when the number of file is near to 1,500 its giving error.
Please suggest the best method to implement my requirements.
1. XML fies are in a folder in end users machine(Windows OS)
2. I need to load all the XML files to table (Oracle Database is in Unix)
I am using forms 10g
Thanks in advance.
Rizly

Hi,
What is the error you are getting when you reach 1,500 records? Can you post it? You mentioned you are using the webutil to load them. How you are loading? From the client machine you are loading to the database directly? Can you post the code you are using for that?

Load data in xml file into Pdf form created by LiveCycle Designer

I want to load data in xml file into Pdf form when Pdf opened and Form field will be filled with data from xml file .I try to use $host.importdata("filename.xml"); But i could not find suitable place to run my code. Can anyone give me some advice? thank you.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

Load and Read XML file size more than 4GB

Hi All
My environment is Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris and I have processes to work with XML file as below detail by PL/SQL
1. I read XML file over HTTP port into XMLTYPE column in table.
2. I read value no.1 from table and extract to insert into another table
On test db, everything is work but I got below error when I use production XML file
     ORA-31186: Document contains too many nodes
Current XML size about 100MB but the procedure must support XML file size more than 4GB in the future.
Belows are some part of my code for your info.
1. Read XML by line into variable and insert into table
LOOP
UTL_HTTP.read_text(http_resp, v_resptext, 32767);
DBMS_LOB.writeappend (v_clob, LENGTH(v_resptext), v_resptext);
    END LOOP;
    INSERT INTO XMLTAB VALUES (XMLTYPE(v_clob));
2. Read cell value from XML column and extract to insert into another table
DECLARE
CURSOR c_xml IS
(SELECT trim(y.cvalue)
FROM XMLTAB xt,
XMLTable('/Table/Rows/Cells/Cell' PASSING xt.XMLDoc
COLUMNS
cvalue
VARCHAR(50)
PATH '/') y;
    BEGIN
OPEN c_xml;
FETCH c_xml INTO v_TempValue;
<Generate insert statement into another table>
EXIT WHEN c_xml%NOTFOUND;
CLOSE c_xml;
    END
And one more problem is performance issue when XML file is big, first step to load XML content to XMLTYPE column slowly.
Could you please suggest any solution to read large XML file and improve performance?
Thank you in advance.
Hiko

See Mark Drake's (Product Manager Oracle XMLDB, Oracle US) response in this old post: ORA-31167: 64k size limit for XML node
The "in a future release" reference, means that this boundary 64K / node issue, was lifted in 11g and onwards...
So first of all, if not only due to performance improvements, I would strongly suggest to upgrade to a database version which is supported by Oracle, see My Oracle Support... In short Oracle 10.2.x was in extended support up to summer 2013, if I am not mistaken and is currently not supported anymore...
If you are able to able to upgrade, please use the much, much more performing XMLType Securefile Binary XML storage option, instead of the XMLType (Basicfile) CLOB storage option.

Can I Use a XML file as Managed Resource?

Hi,
I have a XML file which has all employee details.
Can I use that XML file as a Resource in IDM?
If so please let me know the steps to do.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks
RMS

No.
Since the XML file you have has custom tags, there is not a way for IDM to understand it's contents.
IDM does offer a "Simulated" resource, which is an XML based resource, but it has a defined structure. You might be able to alter your XML to match what the Simulated Resource expects, or better yet, get it into a database and use the database table adapter.

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
San
1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

ScanNGo - Using localbackup.xml file

Hi All, Wondering if someone would be able to help us out, we have hundards of CN51's and CN50's through AUS and NZ and have been looking into this ScanNGo barcode system. AUS have successuflly used the .XML file from the localbackup via SOTI Mobicontrol deployment system, but am trying to make it as easy as possible as with SOTI we still need to setup an APN connection before being able to connect to the device, so hence why am looking at the ScanNGo to atleast setup the APN. Searching the forums and I see people have had success in using the ScanNGo creator by using the localback.xml from the SmartSystems folder. Unfortunately this does not seem to work for me, it will scan all 9/9 barcodes from the ScanNGo system but then returns an error "Error reading scanned data into xml" Attached is the localback.xml file from which I can apparently use this file with the ScanNGo barcode creator ? Could someone please correct me if i'm wrong on this. Thanks, Much appreciated.

Hello AdamD
first, it is no good idea to apply a full backup xml to a device. You should only change the settings different from factory default. See other posts here about how to create a configuration xml with only changed settings.
secondly, a backup xml does not contain security data like passwords. So the backup xml does not have the WWAN password(s):

As you can see, the "WWAN Information" is nothing to be used for a configiration xml. And you see that there are no passwords.
AFAIS the only WWAN settings you need to setup the connection is:
<Group Name="Connection Info" Instance="ATT">
<Field Name="Connection Name">ATT</Field>
<Field Name="Phone"/>
<Field Name="APN">wap.cingular</Field>
<Field Name="Username"/>
<Field Name="Password"/>
<Field Name="AlwaysOn">
0</Field>
</Group>
But keep in mind that you have to maintain the xml structure around this.

Store and load objects to XML files using DOM

Hello everybody,
a quick question for all of you.
I'm designing a desktop application which requires a lot of custom objects to be stored into XML files and later reloaded from them. I'm planning to use DOM, creating an interface like this:
public interface StorableAsDom
// Create an object from a DOM tree
static Object createFromDom(org.w3c.dom.Node root) throws InvalidDomException;
// Get the DOM tree for an object
org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment getDomTree(org.w3c.dom.Document doc) throws DOMException;
Then, every class which needs to be saved should implement the above interface. This way everything works fine.
My question is: do you know any available java package which already provides similar functionalities?
I'd like not to reinvent the wheel if I can; time is always a critical factor.
Thanks in advance to all of you.
Cheers

Hi,
When I need object -xml binding, I usually have two methods -
one for reading & one for writing (the "VOs" below stands for "Value Objects" [getters/setters & empty constructor only]):
READ: loadXML (= XML2VOs)
1.XML2DOM - this method can be generic
2.DOM2VOs - populate your VOs from the DOM just obtained in 1.
WRITE: saveXML (=VOs2XML)
1.VOs2DOM - create a new DOM document from your VOs' fields.
2.DOM2XML - this method can be generic
It would be nice (but dificult & not very elegant) to make DOM2VOs & VOs2DOM generic. If such methods will be written, they should be combined with the XML2DOM & DOM2XML (resp.) & then you would have two generic methods XML2VOs & VOs2XML... (Alternativelly, you can get Sun's JAXB package which does object-xml binding but this is not part of the JDK 5)
If what I have outlined above sounds like what you want to do, let me know if you want more details (eg. how the DOM2VOs would be implemented etc)...

A few questions about using an XML file to add text into a TextArea component set as html

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.
I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?
Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

flash doesn't handle nested lists (as you now know). you can work-around that limitation using css and creating your own indent styles. css have a marginLeft property you can use.

Teststand property loader for multiple sequences

Hi, I am using Teststand 3, and would like to be able to Export all sequences into one Excel spreadsheet, so that each tab references a single sequence. If anybody has already done this, or has a suggestion as to how to do it, I would be grateful. The end goal is to create a single excel file, that can be emailed around, without people losing track of all the different excel sequence files.

ADL,
Unfortunately, there is no way to do this with the property loader features of TestStand. The Import/Export Property tool does not distinguish between worksheets in a workbook and the Property Loader step type can only import properties. If you really need this functionality, one possibility is to use the ActiveX methods exposed by Excel to populate an Excel workbook.

How can I load the selected XML File (Selected from a Listview) into the correct Textboxes?

Right, so I have a windowsform with lots of Textboxes, where the user can type in Information, and then hit "Save", once its saved it goes into a sortof XML Format
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Case>
<Person>l<Driver></Driver><License-Holder></License-Holder><Address></Address><Phone></Phone><Date-of-Birth></Date-of-Birth><Registration></Registration>
Like that.
Now, on my Startup Form (The main form) there is a Listview that I gave the name Objectlist1. This list displays ANY file located in a specific folder on my computer. This is also where the Saved files appear.
The list also updates every 5th second so after you save it appears quickly.
Now, the Files are saved using the content or Value of the first Textbox:
Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Firsttextbox.Text, settings)
So it appears in the folder and on the list with the value inserted in the first Textbox.
My problem comes when I want to load this back (Or reverse the function if you will)
Where I can go to the Objectlist1/Listview, either doubleclick a file or Mark a file, and hit my button "Retrieve"
I want the Form where you could input all the values to show - which it does
And the information from the XML/File saved to appear where it once was typed or inserted.
Here is an example of the code used to save the values from the Textboxes;
Private Sub Savebutton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Savebutton.Click
If IO.File.Exists(Pholderbox.Text) = False Then
Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.Indent = True
Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Pholderbox.Text, settings)
With XmlWrt
' Write the Xml declaration.
.WriteStartDocument()
' CLIENT
' Write a comment.
.WriteComment("Database")
' Write the root element.
.WriteStartElement("Case")
' Start our first person.
.WriteStartElement("Person")
.WriteString(Textbox1.Text)
' The person nodes.
.WriteStartElement("Driver")
.WriteString(Textbox2.Text)
.WriteEndElement()
I've tried multiple codesamples but they all give either "XML Not found" or such Overloads.
This is the current code I used when trying to make it work
Private Function ReadSettingsXML(ByVal path As String) As MySettings # On Debug It marks here and tells me it wasn't found.
Dim thisSettingsInfo As New MySettings
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString) Then
Dim settingsInfo = XElement.Load(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
If settingsInfo IsNot Nothing Then
For Each mainGroup As XElement In settingsInfo.Elements
If mainGroup.Name = "<Database>" AndAlso mainGroup.HasElements Then
For Each subGroup As XElement In mainGroup.Elements
If subGroup.Name = "<Person>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox1 = subGroup.Value
ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Driver>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox2 = subGroup.Value
ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Address>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox3 = subGroup.Value
End If
Next
End If
Next
Else
thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
Throw New Exception("The settings XML file is corrupt and cannot be read.")
End If
Else
thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
Throw New Exception("The settings XML file could not be located.")
End If
Return thisSettingsInfo
End Function
Private Sub LoadXML_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadXML.Click
Dim settings As New MySettings
settings = ReadSettingsXML(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
If settings IsNot Nothing Then
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
With settings
Caseworker.Textbox1.Text = .Person
Caseworker.Textbox2.Text = .Driver
Caseworker.Textbox3.Text = .Address
End With
End If
End Sub
Also, the "Caseworker" is the form where all the textboxes are located.
Been stuck on this for two working days, so any help is highly appreciated
Codesamples are also highly welcome so I can see what the heck you did and find and answer to my problems.

I found a code that might be close to what I'm looking, but as of this code used here, it looks for a static document that already exist and is located in the code.
See this one here, checks for the XML file, and since I can't link one program to 1 file, when its gonna have and use 100's of files.
If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
Same here with the static document.
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
While (document.Read())
Dim type = document.NodeType
'if node type was element
If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
End If
End While
Am I at least close here, people?
Can anyone help with the now critical issue I got?
I basically need to change these two;
If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
Same here with the static document.
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
To whatever value, so they read from the file SELECTED in my Listview
Cos the program saves files according to the info inserted in textboxes, so it can have whatever name you can think of, I need the program to "find and load" that file, once its selected, and then once I hit Retrieve or LOAD or whatever button, it
injects the info from the File to the correct Textboxes.
And I think this will work to get the info in the right boxes;
If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
Any good advise? I'm stranded here.

Using an XML file for server URL instead of hard coding

I can't find a good example.
Could someone give me an example of using a local XML file to set a server url variable so i don't have to hard code url's?
This works and i can trace the xml file but how do i access the individual xml data nodes?
protected function initApp():void
     var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config.xml"));
     loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,configLoadComplete);
private function configLoadComplete(event:Event):void
     trace(event.target.data);

Hi,
<a href="foobar.xml">right click and select save as from the context menu</a>
or
write your xml data or a copy of it with a different extension (text) so that it is not parsed as application/xml-xhtml
or
Use AJAX to retrieve the xml file and display it as the textContent of a <textarea>
window.open wraps the xml markup in html tags for display purposes.
