Using Open Test Architecture (OTA) Library Methods In TestStand

Hello,
I am trying to find information on how to use the OTA library that HP provides to control their HP Application Life-cycle Management (ALM), formerly HP Quality Center, test tracking software. I want to use ActiveX actions in TestStand that will create test runs, load in generic information about the test (pass/fail, tester name, timestamp, etc.), and attach the log file to the test run.
I have only gotten so far as logging into my desired HP ALM project, sent an email from HP ALM to myself (subject, and message, nothing really valuable), and logging out of said project. When I try and create an object for getting information from certain fields in HP ALM as a "proof of concept," I run into the issue where I cant create the object type I need in order to use the methods I want. I think I should be making an ITestFactory object in order to get the data from the fields, but the option to "Create Object" is greyed out in TestStand when I select that object class.
Could someone with experience please help me out?
Thanks,
Mitch M.

Hi Mitch_M,
As you pointed out, for questions about OTA it is better to contact HP. However, here are some links about ActiveX inTestStand that I think may be useful to you.

Problem using/opening Aperture 3.0 Library in Aperture 3.5.1

I have Aperture 3.0 Library that I opened in Aperture 3.5.1 and got this:
I did all repairs and rebuilds, but noting works. I can't access any PS file that I have, and the exports from the library looks like this:
Any suggestions how to save my images?
Thank you!

I accessed the raw files from the library , .psd and .nef, and tried to open, fail. I sent the files to a friend to try from his computer, fail again.
Marie,
to save the embedded jpegs from your RAW images, as Frank Caggiano recommended, try the following in Aperture:
Save the original RAW files to a separate folder.
Set Aperture's Preference in the "Preferences > Import" panel to "Post Import Processing > Camera Previews".
Set Aperture to show the Browser, and not the Viewer or Split view. That is important. The idea is to prevent Aperture from opening the image after importing.
Now import your folder with the saved RAW files by dragging it onto the "Projects" in the Library panel.
You should be seeing perfect thumbnails without any corruption. Drag the thumbnails from the Aperture window to a folder on your Desktop. This should give you high quality JPEGs.
Your test image gave me a 4928x3264 high resolution JPEG.

HT2729 itune and when i use the "add file to library" methode! this is frustrating! i am useing the latest version and i am on pc! please help!

My itunes doesnt want to accept/disply videos when i drag an drop it onto itunes! i am using the latest version and i am on windows 7! please help!

Same problem here, and but only on my laptop... I tried to add an mp4 file to itunes on there and it wouldn't work, moved the same exact file to my desktop and it worked fine. Both computers are using windows 7.

Windows Powershell and HP Open Test Architect (TDApiOle80)

I'm not sure that this is the correct forum to place this in. Please feel free to move it if needed...
I have a task to create a new script using powershell and the OTA. When trying to log into quality center via the open test architecture in powershell I get this error.
At my computer char:22+ $td.InitConnectionEx $qualityCenterLink+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Unexpected token '$qualityCenterLink' in expression or statement.
At my computer char:11+ $td.Login $qualityCenterUsername, $qualityCenterPassword+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the code that I am using.
$td = New-Object -ComObject "TDApiOle80.TDConnection"
$td.InitConnectionEx $qualityCenterLink
$td.Login $qualityCenterUsername, $qualityCenterPassword
This code currently works in a script written with VBscript. I am just modifying the td variable to use powershell instead of vbscript. Do you all have any idea what it is that is causing this not to run? Also, Is powershell compatible with the OTA? I am assuming
so only because the OTA is a COM package.

it appears it doesn't like the formatting. It doesn't know how to handle the varibles
Powershell thinks thinks these are 2 variable next to each other
$td.InitConnectionEx $qualityCenterLinkmaybe put $td.InitConnectionEx($qualityCenterLink)$td.Login $qualityCenterUsername, $qualityCenterPasswordPowershell thinks thinks these are variable next to each other, with a comma separating two of themmaybe put $td.Login ($qualityCenterUsername, $qualityPasswrod)Maybe you can do $td | get-member, may that will show you how the arguments should look. I have neverused the OTA, just guessing here.

Yet AGAIN! "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto"

I have read every thread on this topic I could find in these forums, and tried most solutions, and I still can't get iPhoto to work.
Equipment: MacBook Pro June 2010, OS 10.6.8. Bought a Macbook Air February 2012, OS 10.7.2
Not sure why, but I can't open iPhoto. Here's what I have tried.
Original message on MBPro: "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto".
1. Tried to rebuild library as per this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/8429269#8429269. I get the list of checkboxes, but when I hit "okay" I get the same "you can't open your current photo library ..." message again.
2. Ran software update - no sign that iPhoto is out of date.
3. Copied new version of iPhoto from brand new MBAir to MBPro, replacing older version . Got same "you can't open your current photo library ..." message again.
4. Tried to rebuild library using new version of iPhoto - guess what - same message.
5. Downloaded free trial version of iPhoto Library Manager as suggested in the thread referenced above. The dmg loads to my desktop just fine but nothing happens when I click on it -- this has never happened before. Perhaps it is looking for iPhoto, which of course I can't get to work.
So I have been unable to access my old iPhoto library with (sob) thousands and thousands of family photos in it. I run TimeMachine on to an external hard drive every hour so I hope that if my iPhoto library is corrupted, there is a safe copy on that external drive ...
Between this hassle -- hours of time wasted -- and recent debacle of upgrading iTunes which erased my library and all of my playlists, which also took hours and hours to restore ... my 25 year devotion to Apple products is taking a major hit. I'm getting very weary of heart-pounding fear every time a new software upgrade arrives ... but that's a topic for another time. ;-)
Thank you very much indeed for all suggestions.

I'm going to start from scratch as the link you references is very, very old.
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library and import some photos. If you are able to then the problem lies with your current library. If you get the same message then maybe the iPhoto application is the problem.
Try the following again: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If all of these fail there's one more option:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the each subfolder in the Originals folder (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the entire Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.

I tried to open iphoto this morning and recieved this message: "iphoto damaged or incomplete." There was also a white circle with a slash through the icon in both dock and applications folder. Recently I had loaded idvd from ilife since it was not included on my MBP. I reinstalled iphoto using the disc and then the following began to occur.
I received this message when I tried to launch iPhoto after reinstalling. Yesterday it was working fine. "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto." It gave me the option of quitting but nothing else.
I followed directions on another thread to rebuild using the database by holding down command+option while launching iphoto. None of my folders came back and all the photo boxes are empty, although there are dates.
I do have a backup on an external but am not sure how I would restore using that (I've never had to in the past).
This is iphoto 11 - version 9.1. I am unsure how to check what version was installed when I purchased this MBP (Nov. 2012). I am also runnign OSX 10.8.3
Is there anyway to remove the update and recent install and revert to what I had yesterday? Or even two days ago?
Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to re-create my folders.
Thanks in advance!

When you installed iDVD, you must accidentally also have reinstalled and downgraded iPhoto.
This is iphoto 11 - version 9.1. I am unsure how to check what version was installed when I purchased this MBP (Nov. 2012). I am also runnign OSX 10.8.3
You have two options, either delete your current iPhoto version and reinstall iPhoto from the AppStore, or go to the -menu and run Software update to upgrade your current iPhoto version to iPhoto 9.4.3, the current version.
To reinstall: See this document http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Scroll down to the paragraph: Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
It explains how to reinstall the bundled iLife applications, that came preinstalled, from the AppStore.

I cant open my current iPhoto library using this version (8.1.2) of iPhoto

I recently (August 2014) bought a new macbook pro with OS X Maverick 10.9.4 and I have an old white macbook with OS X 10.7.5. I went to the apple store to transfer all of my data from my old mac to my new mac. Everything synced except for my photos in iPhoto, which I had alot of. The people at apple sent me home with cable cords to try syncing my iPhoto again but when I got home to open my iPhoto on my old mac, the app gave me a message that had the title "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto" and with the subtext "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." The message gives me a 'quit' button and that's it. My time-machine also doesn't work (which is a whole different story) so I can't use that to get to my iPhoto. I'm not sure if purchasing the new version of iPhoto on my old computer will work because I'm not sure if it will have all of my old photos in it that I need to access. I just really want my old iPhoto back with all my wonderful pictures

Connect the two systems together and drag the iPhoto library over from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

I did a restore on my Imac and now it says You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.So when I go to apps icon they want to charge me 14.99 for new Iphoto

It would help if you would answer questions and give information rather then constantlhy complaining
You do not need to purchase anything - but to help you you do have to supply the requested information
Have you installed iPhoto from the DVD that came with the computer or from the App Store?
The answer to this is critical to helping you -- please answer
WE probably also need to know exactly how you "restored" your Mac and why youneeded to restore it

I've backup my iPhoto on WD My Passport. When I try to pull up the photos from the external hard drive onto a different computer, it says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto." It says I have to use a later version.

After backing up my photos on a My Passport hard drive I can't open iphoto from the hard drive. It says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto." I have done all the upgrades for iphoto. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

What versions of iPhoto and OS X are on each computer? You can find out by going to your iPhoto application (from the Applications folder), clicking it once to highlight it, and click cmd-i to open its information window. The version number is in the General tab.
Your version of OS X can be found from the Apple menu, then About This Mac.
The latest version of iPhoto (9.5.1) requires OS X 10.9, so if you have an older version of OS X on that computer, you will have to upgrade to Mavericks and then upgrade to the newer iPhoto.

When opening the version of Iphoto i have an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8

What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up.

I cant open iphoto -You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
