Using TestStand API Engine to programatically set watch expressions?

I would like to auto populate the Watch Expression window when I start a sequence. This would allow the test developer to set up a list of variables once and have them available all the time, for troubleshooting. I see references in Test Stand help to insert, remove, clear, etc, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access them. Getwatchexpressions is all I can find, so far. I have looked in TS 3.5 and 4.

That was the hint that I needed. I am attaching a simple sequence that populates a watch expression. May be useful for others.

Activating locks using TestStand API

Hello,
I have a question... how do I lock and unlock a lock, created in TestStand, in Visual Basic (by using the teststand API)?
Greetz Jan Toebes

Hello,
To understand you correctly you are trying to perform a lock or unlock through Visual Basic. For this you have to use the synchronization server, which has a different API for itself. You can get more information about this under "TestStand Supplemental Reference Help" section in the TestStand Help.
For simplicity sake, lets assume that you have a lock step created in teststand and you want to perform an unlock using Visual Basic.
To perform this task, you need the SyncManager. This is the main class for all Synchronization objects. This class helps manage the creation and sharing of the different Synchronization objects between threads. You must create all Synchronization objects using this class.
To get the appropriate instance of the TestStand Synchronization Manager call the Engine.GetSyncManager TestStand API method. The Engine.GetSyncManager method returns the TestStand Synchronization Manager for the appropriate process based on the name of the Synchronization object. So the call would be
SyncManager = Engine.GetSyncManager(* Name_of_the_lock_Step)
where the Name_of_the_Step is the actual name of the lock step that we created in TestStand. The "*" before that indicates that this lock step was created in a separate thread and is being shared.
Now Mutex is the class that implements the Lock synchronization and is used to implement the Lock step type in TestStand. So using the SynCManager will get an instance of this Mutex class by using:
Mutex = SyncManager.GetMutex(* Mame_of_the_lock_step)
Now using Mutex you can perform an unlock by using:
Mutex.EarlyUnlockMutex ( threadId)
Please refer to the help for more information regarding these functions. I hope this helps.

Using ActiveX controls in GUI application, which uses TestStand API

When using ActiveX controls in TestStand Operator Interface GUI,
CVI reports User Interface Library error no.-143:
"ActiveX control Error" on attempt to load panel, which contains ActiveX controls.
The same code, which takes care of user interface, but not references
TestStand ActiveX API (i.e. not creates TS Engine), works properly.
What's wrong?

Hello again Misha,
Sorry about my previous answer, I overlooked the fact that you were saying this error was caused by placing ActiveX controls in your Operator Interface (OI) GUI (as my example shows I thought the problem was with GUIs displayed from step code modules).
Nevertheless, the problem is still being caused by the same issue, and is solved in a similar fashion. The source for the CVI OI initializes the TestStand engine before it loads/displays the UI panels. The calls to initialize the engine seem to be CoInitializing the main GUI thread as multithreaded apartment (MTA) mode whereas you will need it to be single threaded apartment (STA) mode in order for the ActiveX control container to work properly. The TestStand engine is compatible with either modes, but only one can be in place at a given time. If we CoInitialize the OI's main GUI thread as STA this will solve the problem (the subsequent attempts of setting it to MTA will fail, but again this is ok since the engine is compatible with STA).
In order to perform this functionality you will need to put a call to CoInitializeEx in the main function of the CVI OI source (this will also require that you #include the "windows.h" file at the top of the source also). Here is what the main function in your main.c file for the CVI OI will look like once you have done this:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
int retval = -1;
sArgc = argc;
sArgv = argv;
if(InitCVIRTE(0, argv, 0) == 0) /* Initialize CVI libraries */
goto Done; /* out of memory */
// Intialize main GUI thread as STA to prevent other attempt to make it
// MTA, which will not allow ActiveX controls to be used.
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
/* initialize the test engine */
if(!InitEngine())
goto Done;
if(!InitErrorDialogStrings())
goto Done;
if(!InStandaloneExecutable() && !DisplayRunningInEnvironmentWarning())
goto Done; // get out now
if(!ProcessPreLoginCmdlineArgs())
goto Done;
if(!CfgFile_Load())
goto Done;
if(!CfgFile_RestoreOptionSettings())
goto Done;
if(LoadGUIPanels() < 0)
goto Done;
if(!InitFileQuickList())
goto Done;
/* set initial gui state */
if(!InitGUI())
goto Done;
RunUserInterface();
retval = 0; /* normal exist status */
Done:
/* cleanup */
SeqFileList_DeleteAllSequenceFileRecords();
ExeList_DeleteAllRecords();
IconList_DeleteIconList();
SaveAndCleanupFileQuickList();
CfgFile_SaveOptionSettings();
CfgFile_WriteAndCleanupForExit();
AdaptList_DeleteAdapterList();
DestroyToolMenus();
CloseEngine();
FreeErrorDialogStrings();
return retval;
Note: Remember to #include "windows.h" at the very top of the main.c file and to include ole32.lib in your project file list in order to link in the definition for CoInitializeEx.

How can I create a custom data type that is a 2D array of string by using TestStand API?

Hi all,
I'm new in TestStand:
I'm able to create a custom data type that is a 1D array of string but I cannot find the way to create a 2D array of string.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Federico

I made it!!
Indeed my 2D array is an item of a container:
/*  Create a new container */
RunState.Engine.NewPropertyObject(Locals.NewDataType,PropValType_Container,False,"",0)
/*  Create an array of strings as item of the container */
Locals.NewDataType.NewSubProperty("Array_2D",PropValType_String,True,"",0)
/*  Reshape the array as an empty 2D array */
Locals.NewDataType.GetPropertyObject("Array_2D",0).Type.ArrayDimensions.SetBoundsByStrings("[0][0]","[][]")
being:
NewDataType a local property (type Object)

Add Sales Opportunity using DI API

Hello Friends,
    I am trying to add Sales Opportunity using DI API.I want to set Potential amount using DI API So I set MaxLocalTotal but while compiling code its give error.Its Read only.
If I add without potential amount than its gives me error "Potetial Amout is missing"
What should I do??
My Code is
               SAPbobsCOM.SalesOpportunities vSOpp;
                vSOpp = (SAPbobsCOM.SalesOpportunities)globals1.oCompany.GetBusinessObject (SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oSalesOpportunities);

Please help me to solved this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
    Swati

Hi folks,
I'm facing the same problem. This issue concerns DI API of SAP Business One 8.8 (my version is SP 00 PL 11) in particular.
I've used the 2007 version so far and even though the MaxLocalTotal field in Sales Opportunity object is read-only, by writing the same value in the field with the same name on the last Opportunity Line I obtain the right value in the header.
In this version of the API, that field seems to be mandatory instead.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you in advance.

Teststand api Creating/deleting Users

Hi,
I am using Teststand API with Labwindows and i have a problem with creating/deleting Users.
In fact, to explain easily my problem when you use the full-featured Teststand with the "CreateDeleteUsers.seq" sequence and create a user, then close the full-featured Teststand, you loose your new users in the previous opening.
Whereas, with the Teststand 4.0, with the same "CreateDeleteUsers.seq", when you close, it propose to save the changed file "UserManagement" (Users.ini) and everything's fine...
And as i am using a Labwindows project to login/logout to teststand, i am using TS_... functions i can't find a way to save or to have this save popup to keep my users.
I hope that i am clear, and that someone will be able to help me !

Hello,
As you could see in the following KB: How Can I Edit and Save Changes for the Current User? you have to get the users file as a PropertyObjectFile as it's done in the CreateDeleteUsers sequence, and then use two methods, IncChangeCount() wich is also already done in the example sequence, and the SaveFileIfModified().
See attached file below for the example sequence changed with the file saving.

Passing struct to DLL using TestStand

I would like to pass structures to the function call in the DLL. Does Test stand supports passing structured.
I have a function prototype like this
LONG _stdcall ReadData(HANDLE hInstance, pDataStruct Trans);
#pragma pack(push, 1)
typedef struct _DataStruct {
BYTE Type;
BYTE DevAddr;
WORD wMemoryAddr;
WORD wCount;
BYTE Data[256];
} DataStruct , *pDataStruct ;
#pragma pack(pop)
I would like to display the Data filed after the function call.
remaining parameters to the structure are inputs.
Please point me to any tutorial on TestStand that can help me or Give me a detailed instructions on how to configure it.
Thanks in advance.
Lak

There is a "StructPassing" example in the TestStand/examples folder. It shows how you can pass the struct to DLL function. Additionally, you can access the struct using TestStand API.

Using TestStand Engine API in LabVIEW

Hi all,
I am currently working for a proejct where automation of testing is involved, For which NI LabVIEW and TestStand are used. My previous experience is in LabVIEW only and not in TestStand. In the current project I have to develop a UI where user can select the test sequences and execute them automatically with a simple start command. So I thought to develop a UI in LabVIEW where I will call TestStand APIs in LabVIEW. I have a developed a code by calling the TestStand APIs and able to execute the sequence, but unable to generate the report. Does any have stuff where in TestStand APIs are called in LabVIEW and test report is generated.
As I mentioned earlier I haven't worked much in TestStand. I have gone through the TestStand examples like Simple UI. But it didn't helped me much.
To put our project requirement in simple.
1.It should have the UI to select the TestCases (Test Sequences) and an option to select the no.of times the test cases needd to be executed.
2. It should generate the reports for all the test cases.
3. UI should support localization.
Considering the above requirements I have thought to develop UI in LabVIEW calling the TestStand APIs. I also got to know that UI can be developed using TestStand, but I am not sure whether the above mentioned requirments can be fullfilled or not.
I am attaching the VI what I have developed in the LabVIEW with which I am able to execute the sequences, but unable to generate the report. Kindly look into the VI and let me know what need to be corrected to generate the report using the same VI.
Thanks and Regards

If you want to generate a report you'll have to choose an entry point. You should have a look at the LabVIEW OI (operator Interface) shipped with TestStand

Make sure you have the Oracle JDBC library setup in project parties and it's setup to export. The api's are fine. Have you looked at the BIPublisherIDE I wrote. All this code is already written for you. There is a manual on the site as well

Creating LabVIEW module adapter TestStand Steps using the API without loading module prototype???

Is it possible to programatically create a TestStand step (using the API), that calls a LabVIEW module, without loading the prototype of the module to get a reference to the Module Parameters.
I want to specify a VI Pathname, but I dont want to use that pathname to load the prototype. I want to programatically specify the name, type, representation etc. of each of the controls and indicators.
My reason for attempting this is that I only want the VIs called by the steps to exist on the target hardware not on the numerous development machines running my application.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Steve
https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/DailyCLAD

Hi Steve,
Unfortunatly it is not possible to do what you want within Test Stand but I am not sure why it is necessary, I think I am understanding your application incorrectly. The only time you will need to load the prototype is if you are creating the step but if you are creating the step you will need the VI that the step calls so that VI will need to be present on the system. If you are not calling the step then you shouldn't need to load the VI prototype. If this is how you program funtions it may be a problem with your architecture but if not please could you correct my misunderstanding so that I can go about finding a suitable solution.

Using User Management Engine API in Portal Application

Hello,
I actually develope a simple Portal Application, which print any User-Infos. Especially I need the date of the last Login. For this purpose I read the Article Using User Management Engine API - Portal - SAP Library where they use the library com.sap.security.api. In the articel they describe also, how to set DC dependencies. But this doesn't function for a Portal Component, because they do not appear in the Component Browser.
So my question is, how get I the User Management Engine API referenced in my Portal Application, so that I can use the package com.sap.security.api. In the filesystem I can not find a JAR-File for the Development Componenten tc/je/usermanagement/api
Greetings,
Thomas

HI,
Getting the last logon date can be a small problem. There is a method called: getLastSuccessfulLogonDate, but that one is deprecated since NW 2004s.
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/SPS09/se/com/sap/security/api/IUserAccount.html#getLastSuccessfulLogonDate()
In NW 7.3 the method is still there: Generated Documentation (Untitled), but even so, JavaDoc states that the value is not updated automatically
"get last sucessful logon date NOTE: This attribute is not automatically updated during login."

NI 5660 Driver DLL Errors when using Teststand 2010 and LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2010

This problem seems similar to the post "Resource not found error in executable on development machine." but I didn't want to repost under that thread because I only happened upon it by chance and none of my searches brought me there... so I made a more descriptive Subject.
I am working on a system that uses a PXI Chassis with a NI 5600 Downconverter and a NI 5620 high speed digitizer, among other PXI Cards.
I inherited working code written in LabVIEW 2010, running with the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2010. The code was using a custom executive and my task was to rewrite the test using TestStand 2010. I reused the majority of the old code. The old code used NI-5660 to control the 5600 and 5620. When I run my sequence using the LV Development System and TestStand, it runs without any issues. When I change the adapter over to LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2010, all of my NI5660 VIs become broken due to DLL issues. It warns that the nipxi5600u.dll was not initialized correctly. Many of the errors are associated with the NI Tuner and NI Scope. After this LabVIEW will crash randomly, and the seqeunce will not work in TestStand even when back with the LV Development Adapter. The only way to recover after this is to restart the computer - TestStand automatically reverts back to the development system, the VIs are no longer broken and the sequence works again.
I have all of my VIs associated with a project. After reading a little bit about DLLs and TestStand, I found all of the DLLs in the dependencies section of my project and added them to my TestStand workspace. I also used Dependency Walker to track down the problems with the nipxi5600u.dll, the 2 DLL files that it said were not found already existed in the same folder as the original DLL (C:\Windows\System32). I have also performed a Mass Compile to make sure everything was running in LV 2010. If I skip the steps involving the 5660, my entire sequence runs fine.
The previous code was running with the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine without any issues. Is there just a step I am missing? Has anyone seen anything like this before? I can send screenshots of errors to provide more detail if necessary.

I have tried some more things and still can't get it to work. I have added the VIs mentioned in the Notes On Creating Modulation Executables KB both to the TestStand workspace and the LabVIEW project holding all of my VIs. This did not change the results.
When I try to run my sequence, The first error I get is shown in Error 1445.bmp. This happens when I try to use the NI 5660 initialize.vi. If I click ignore, the next error I see is shown in Error -20551.bmp. When I try to open the VI to look at it, I get the 2 DLL errors shown in Error loading nipxi5600u.bmp and Error loading nidaq32.bmp. When I close TestStand, I get the error LabVIEW Fatal Error.bmp.

Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.

How to change a folder layout set using KM api?

Hello,
I'm developing a program using KM api that creates different folders with properties, permissions, ... I want to use a different layout set depending on the folder that i am browsing, but these folders are created dinamically, so I cant set a different layouts set for each one manually (Details > Display > ...).
Does anybody know how I could do it using KM api? I mean, that every time I create a folder using KM api I should assaing dinamically the default layout set for this folder. I searched in the api and examples and I didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
JC

Hi all,
Problem solved... I decompiled standard code and I did what SAP do when they want to change a folder layout set:
IResourceContext context = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceContext("cmadmin_service");
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser puser = context.getUser();
ICollection collection = (ICollection)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(RID.getRID("folder_path"),context);
IRepositoryServiceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory();
ILayoutService layoutService = (ILayoutService)factory.getRepositoryService(collection, "LayoutRepositoryService");
ILayoutContext userContext = layoutService.getContextForUser(puser, "");
ContextProperties commonProperties = new ContextProperties(layoutService, collection, userContext.getAnonymousContext(), layoutService.getProfiles(), new HashMap());
commonProperties.initFromPersistence();
commonProperties.setSelectedProfileID("LayoutSetProfile");
commonProperties.setSelectedLayoutsetID("ID_of_my_layout_set");
ArrayList errormsg = new ArrayList();
commonProperties.save(null, errormsg, false);
Thanks and regards,

I want to set the properties of a profile in a property set using java API provided
in package p13n. The property can have multiple values. When I try to add the
property using ProfileManager.setProperty() method. But every time I do it this
way, it replaces the earlier value of property and not added. This, I can achieve
using portalTools but I want to use the API for user registration on the site.
I hope the query is clear.
Waiting for a response,
Thanks in advance,
Shrinivas

You need to use java.util.ArrayList.
First cast the existing value into ArrayList using getProperty method,
change values in the ArrayList and then put them back with setProperty
method.
