Timer expiry to cause sequence failure

Hi,
I would like to cause a sequence to go to cleanup and the result to fail after a timer has expired.
At the moment in the 'Post Conditions' of the timers I have specified a custom condition expression: Step.Result.TimeoutOccured
On condition True: Go to Cleannup
On condition False: Go to next step.
How would it possible to modify the result to fail once the timer has expired?
Many thanks,

Hi feb,
Just had a look around the forums.  Without a bit more information I'm not able to answer the question but maybe these posts will help you out?

Hope these help.
Is there any chance (if this doesn't help, you could forward on some of your code and I could have a closer look?)

  • Step failure causes sequence failure Option

    Hi !
    I need some clarification about the Step failure causes sequence failure Option , I'm using TS 4.2 Under Win XP .
    Lets say i have a Seq with 4 steps in all of then Step failure causes sequence failure Option is Checked .
    Record Result in all of the3 steps is Checked , If the first step will fail will it perform the next steps ? and will it record the result for this steps ?
    Thank U .

    Record Result in all of the3 steps is Checked , If the first step will fail will it perform the next steps ? YES
    and will it record the result for this steps ? YES
    What this is signifying, is if a Step fails then when the Sequence has completed and returned back to the caller the status of this step will be FAILED.
    If you need to jump to Cleanup then you will need to set the Post Action.

  • Activate or skip "Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type

    Hello all,
    I am using teststand 3.1
    Is it possible to skip or activate ´"Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type.
    It is very much work to do this for all steps, because I have hundred of steps
    regards
    samuel

    hi,
    here is an example that will change the TS.NoResult. You just have to change this area of the sequence to suit your needs
    I haven't added any fancy stuff, such as adding a filedialog to get the seq file to change, you will find the various variables in the Locals.
    Hope it helps
    There is a version for 3.1 and 3.5.

  • Airport Express extending Time Capsule network causes network failure?

    I have a 1GB Time Capsule used as my 'main' wireless access point for my home network. I purchased an Airport Express for use about halfway through across the home so that I could play iTunes music in that area... no problem. That works. However my office is also right next to the Airport Express.
    So if the Airport Express is -not- plugged in I have a great signal from the Time Capsule and things work without a hitch. Once I plug the Airport Express in, every 20~30min my MacBook Pro shows I have a full-power network connection, but it wont actually do anything. I have to turn off the MacBook's wireless, then turn it back on... then again it only works for a short while. If I unplug the Airport Express this is no longer an issue. :/
    So I know the Airport Express is part of the issue. But also, I know it must be setup correctly since I can go all the way to the back of the house and have a network connection [when normally without the Express I would not have a connection at all]. Clearly it's extending the network.
    Any ideas why my MacBook might be getting 'stuck'? I'm relatively new to Apple gear, but long time PC user and very skilled with networking... but never experienced anything like this... but also this is the first time I've ever extended a network.
    Open to any suggestions... thanks all!

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    Something is wrong, whether it's an incorrect setting or a defective AirPort Express because the "extend" setup normally works very well. I've gone 3-4 months with no problems at all since I added an Express last fall and the network is up 24/7.
    Check to make sure that your MacBook is actually connecting to the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express and note the AirPort ID for the AX
    Hold down the option key on your computer and click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen and you will see details about the connection. You should see the AirPort ID of the AX. If not, you are not connecting to it.
    You can also check a few settings using AirPort Utility to see if the Time Capsule (TC) and AX are setup to "extend".
    For the TC:
    Click Manual Setup and click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Wireless Mode should be "Create a wireless network"
    There should be a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    For the AX:
    Click Manual Setup and the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode should be "extend a wireless network"
    Network Name should be the name of the TC network
    Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
    Security and Password settings are the same as the TC
    Is that what you see?

  • New Mavericks Install-Time Machine disk causes Wifi failure.

    Just recently upgraded to Mavericks and have encountered a strange problem.   When my Time Machine external disk is attached, my machine (MacBook Pro 15 Intel 2.53 i5) refuses to connect to my home Wifi (Airport Extreme), giving an error message wanting me to run Wifi Diagnostics.    All other devices connect normally to this router.   I noticed this morning that when I eject the Time Machine disk, it immediately connects to the Wifi without a problem.
    Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

  • Hostid change on reboot causes zpool failure to load

  • 3rd Part Menory Causes Fan Failure

    Bought my MBP about 9 months ago and shortly thereafter installed a 1G Ram Module from OWC. 2 Weeks ago my Right hand side fan statred making an awfull racket and then dies. Contacted Apple who had me send it to them. Received my computer last nite. Now remember the only thing wrong with this MBP was the fan. The Hardware Test (Short/Long) run from Disk 1 showed only a Fan Problem. No Memory, Mother Board, Etc. I received the computer back with the Main Logic Board Replaced, Disk Drive Slicked, Memory in a plastic Bag. And the MBP is unusable as received from Apple. Screen goes black, locks up, etc. Tried Reinstalling OSX and it would not complete. I sent about 5 hours on the phone with Apple Tech Support on receiving my MBP back in worse condition than it was sent in for. After going around and around with Apple I got a good tech who said it was a definit hardware issue (Others wanted to first buy Apple-Care for 359 or a 49 version) but since its still falls within one year and also 90 day warrenty if Apple Screwed it up I refused. Finally it will be sent back in to "HOPEFULLY" be fixed this time! Anyways, enogh venting and back to the original question; "Will A Ram Module Cause A Failure To A Fan?" Just one fan by the way the left one worked but upon return they said they replaced both. Thanks for allowing me to vent!! Hopefully this is a fluke on Apple Support since I really miss my Laptop right now!!

    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for the response. Yes I am or was using SMC Fan Control along with iStat in the Dash for moniotring. I work with a lot of PC's and have built my own from MB and Up. Since I am fairly new to Mac but in all my years I have never heard of Memory causing a failure of a Fan. I could as you said believe Kernel Panics or Programs screwing up or reboots for that matter. My assumption is that they did not like the OWC Memory or the addition of Non-Apple Memory. I also find it hard to believe my Main Logic Board all of a sudden (In the Apple Techs Hands) went bad. I can understand maybe the drive being slicked and fans switched in-pairs. But the rest I find really off the wall. I just hope that they can correct the problems right this time since I have been hyping my MBP since I got it and now this is a real show-stopper for me!

  • Where is "Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure" stored?

    1. When I set "Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure" on the Station Options dialog, where is that property stored? I want to have the process model set it and not let operators set it.
    2. If I am running the Batch model, and one socket fails, what is a good way to terminate the other socket(s), or make the other socket(s) jump to their own cleanups?
    Thanks,
    cc

    Hello cc,
    For your first question, you can use the TestStand API to set the Engine.StationOptions.AlwaysGotoCleanupOnFailure property to True.  This has the same affect as setting the Station Options manually.
    You second question is more tricky.  One way that you can have the other TestSockets go to their clean up is by sharing a FileGlobal.  If one TestSocket fails, then it would set this variable to true.  Then all of the other TestSockets would check this variable before each step to see if there is an error; if so, then they would branch to clean-up of that sequence.  You will most likely want to use the ProcessModelPreStep and ProcessModelPostStepFailure Engine callbacks in your process model.  They will fire at the appropriate time in your client sequence file (not in the process model where you defined them).  I hope this helps.  Have a greay day!

  • Time synchronization poorness caused to block connection

    Dear Microsotf,
    I have VDS windows 2008r2 + Sql Server 2008 Express Ed. I am running MuOnline Private server (online gaming). But my OS system time is delaying (7 Secounds Delaying every 15 minutes) Time is cyritical for online games. problem
    was defined after lots of tests as a processor clock problem... which was time-running slower than expected to do (about -1 minute for every regular hour, checked with atomic clock)... and that for MultiPlayer games is crucial. 
    In the Gameserver.exe i got that log .;
    Time synchronization poorness caused to block connection -7828
    WSARecv() failed with error 10038
    What will the solution?

    Simply use a public NTP server for time sync.
    You can refer to that to how to configure time sync on your server: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUID-B77341E3-9D7D-48B6-A221-B782C21AF98E.html

  • How to terminate on Sequence Failure?

    HI,
    I would like to terminate the test upon a sequence failure.  However ONLY from sequences called by the MainSequence!!
    I tried to set in the PostAction --> Terminate on Fail, but it didn't stop?!
    Can you recommend a way to accomplish it?
    Also, I would like to see a Failure mark (red FAIL) on the failed sequence (if possilbe)
    Thanks
    Rafi

    Rafi,
    i tested your request and most of the things are working just as you request them:
    - A failing step configured as Post-Action Terminate at Fail will terminate the execution.
    - A sequence terminating by this action will get the result "Terminated"
    What does not work as you (seem to) desire:
    - The execution will never instantly stop, not with termination nor with abort.
    - The result "Terminated" is displayed in a dark blue box within the Sequence Editor. There will not be the result Failed for the subsequence.
    The execution will never instantly stop because TestStand always waits until possible active modules have finished. If you use the default SequentialModel, this method of temination should instantly initiate the termination procedure. Within this procedure though, all steps in the "Cleanup"-stepgroups are called going up the callstack. This is an important feature which cannot be changed.
    Regarding your failure mark: do you use an UI other than the Sequence Editor?
    hope this helps,

  • HT5242 I have tried to install 3 times and have had 3 failures. Any solutions???

    I have tried to install 3 times and have had 3 failures. Any solutions??? And yes, I repaired permissions.

    I had same exact problem as kf4wm, downloading from Software Update.   Did the same stuff he did, such as try again, restart and try again, repair permissions and try again.  Nothing worked.
    Did what Linc Davis said to do, which was download 2012-003 via web browser from Apple.  It installed, no problems at all.  Thank you, Linc Davis!

  • Maximum allowed run time for a task sequence

    I found if i left the maximum allowed run time for a task sequence with a defualt value of "0" in configuration manager 2012 r2 cu2,the required task sequence would never run without a maintenance window larger than
    12H.
    At client side,the servicewindowmanager.log always said this required task sequence had a maximum runtime of 43200 seconds(12h).
    servicewindowmanager.log:
    OnIsServiceWindowAvailable called with: Runtime:43200, Type:5
    Program cannot Run! Setting *canProgramRun to FALSE
    There does not exist a Service Window of this Type, for this duration. The Program will not run.
    If i set maximum allowed run time to 120 minutes,task sequence would run under a 3h mainenance window.
    So if you leave the maximum allowed run time for a task sequence with a value of "0" then client agent will evaluate it as 43200(12h) for a required deployment,is it true? have i missed something?

    Hi,
    That is correct it will default to the same value as a program with a "Unknown" maximum runtime value, Unknown is also evaluated to 0 = 12h so that is correct behaviour.

  • Reading Configure- Station Options- Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure Checkbox Setting

    In TestStand 3.5, how do you programatically read the status of the Configure->Station Options->Immediately Goto Cleanup on Sequence Failure checkbox?  How would you programatically set this value?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried your suggestion and it cannot resolve the reference.  When I typed in Engine. it was immediately replaced by RunState.Engine. so I used RunState.Engine.StationOptions.AlwaysGotoCleanupOn Failure.  When the step was executed, there was an error stating "Unknown variable or property name RunState.Engine.StationOptions".  When I go to the context tab, I see the Engine object, but I cannot expand to see what elements it contains.  Any further suggestions?   How does one find out what "Engine" contains anyway?

  • 0x800700002 Tast Sequence Failure

    Hi guy's,
    I'm having a bit of a problem in trying to image a Dell OptiPlex 7020 machine in SCCM. I have downloaded the SCCM CAB & WinPE drivers from the Dell website, split them off so I am only using 32bit drivers, and I have then imported them into SCCM, adding
    the WinPE drivers to our WinPE image and updating the corresponding distribution points.
    The image process appears to go fine, and when it gets to the very very end of the TS, it throws up a 0x800700002 Task Sequence Failure error message when trying to access one of the packages. I did an ipconfig at this stage and the machine didn't have
    any IP address settings......I checked this again at the start of the image process, and the machine DOES have an IP address assigned at the beginning, and accesses this very same package perfectly fine at the beginning when it has an IP address. 
    I have re-imported the drivers a number of occasions, but this hasn't made a difference. All access rights appear to be in place, and older model machines we have image perfectly fine without any issues.
    I tried posting up the log, but the forum here has complained about not allowing images/links until my account is verified.
    Can anyone offer any assistance? I've been testing and trialling for nearly a week trying all sorts without success.
    Thanks  

    Anyone? Any suggestions? :)
