Will saving a sequence file with modified variables work on all licensing levels of TestStand?

I am thinking of enabling editing of test limits for a few steps via an operator interface mechanism of some sort (popup dialog box, etc.).
If I make an API call to save the sequence file with the modified limits (as opposed to using the property export/import mechanism), will the call succeed if the end-customer has only a deployment license (no debug or dev)?
For that matter, if I *were* to use the property export mechanism via an API call from the operator interface, would that call succeed regardless of the licensing level on the target machine?
Thanks in advance...

The deployment license will not allow you to save sequence files using the API. It will generate an error.

"Diff Sequence File With" doesn't look into sub-sequences.

Hello guys.
I have these 2 sequences in Teststand 2.0 that I'm trying to compare, but when I use the command "Edit" - "Diff Sequence File With" it only looks in the upper level properties (MainSequence, FileGlobals, etc.) but it doesn't check for the contents inside the sub-sequences, which is where I have most of my measurements and tests.
Hope you can help. Thanks.

If you expand the 'Sequences' node, you should see the list of all the
sequences from your file. Then expand one of the Sequences and it
should list the Context variables for those Sequences. This is
where you should see a comparison of the Locals set. As a test,
try comparing the Sequential (SequentialModel.seq) and Batch
(BatchModel.seq) process models. You can find them in the
<TestStand>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels directory.
Perhaps you could post the two sequences you are trying to compare if
you are still running into problems.

How to import files with static variables into a block with methods?

i have a problem. is it possible to import files with static variables into tags like
<%!
//here i want to import a file named settings.inc
//whitch is used to set jdbc constants like url,driver,...
private void method() {
private void method2() {
%>
<%@include file="xy"%>//dosn�t work above
//only in <%%>tag

This should be done using either the Properties class or ResourceBundle. Ex.
<%
ResourceBundle resBun = ResourceBundle.getBundle(String resource);
String username = resBun.getString("username");
String password = resBun.getString("password");
// etc
%>

Not unless you go out of your way to erase the disk, first.
However, nothing is foolproof and the probability of something going wrong during the reinstall is inversely proportional to the number of backups you have.

Why will a stand alone executalbe with an installer work on windows 2000 and crashes on windows xp professional?

When I run the setup.exe file on a Windows 2000 system it installs properly, but the same file run on a XP Professional system I get an error stating Fatal Error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error.
See here for more information on the specific installer I'm trying to use.
In fact I get this error for any stand alone executable I try to install on any XP machines. I am using LV 7.1. Is there a way to manually install eve
rything?
Thanks

Sure you can Install a lv application manually. just copy the exe-file,
support files in a folder. For the runtimeengine just copy the file
lvrte.dll in the folder of your application or in the windows system folder.
Hope that helps, Niko

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

Questions about "Diff Sequence File With..." function

Hello,
I've started working on a project where I'm maintaining a piece of older code written by a since-departed employee of my company. It's a TestStand 3.0 sequence file calling on Labview 7.0 code. The thing is, there were two of these installations done at different times and, somewhere in the woods between stations 1 & 2, the code base diverged. Part of it was due to not being able to get exact duplicate hardware for the PXI chassis and part was, apparently, due to the fact the client used the 2 machines to test different UUT models.
So, I'm looking at copies of the installed code base on the two machines using the diff feature in TestStand. (If it makes a difference, I'm doing this viewing in TestStand 3.5 since TS3.0 has mysteriously gone corrupt on me at the moment on my main development computer and, if memory serves, you have to uninstall all the later version of TS to reinstall an older version. An altogether fun process, no doubt, but a little time consuming.)
Anyway, the first thing I notice is that very many of the sequence steps have different Step Properties.Step ID values that look something like this: "ID#:2vMTp0db002mQDXArddRSA". Messing with the diff screen showed an option to "Ignore Unique Step Ids" which got rid of these. Regarding these unique step ID's: When are they generated and do they remain constant on a particular machine? Beyond mere curiosity, I wonder because another diff is in some of the "On Pass Target" or "On Custom Condition True Target" under certain Step Properties and the value under there looks suspiciously like those unique ID's (i.e. ""ID#randomstuff""). Are these all dynamically updated at runtime or will I break something by changing those (say if I copy a sequence from one version overwriting it in the other)?
So, I filtered the unique ID's out. The next large area of difference is that many, but by no means all, Labview VI calls have a difference under Step Properties > Flexible Labview Adapter Properties > ViCall > Connector Pane Checksum > Value. Also, in a few other instances, ViCall > error out > Connector Number is different as well. Does this indicate a different underlying VI?
There are a few other differences, but I can interpret those. My goal is to get one sequence file for both machines so the code will be easier to maintain. I do think that some of the VI's with different Connector Pane Checksums may be different between the two installations since one of the different hardware components required a different driver library. This leads to a third question, what does it take to use identical sequence files when the underlying VI's might differ? Is it just the interface needs to be the same? Like the connector pane has the same geometry and data types for the exposed inputs and outputs?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just got off the phone with NI support, so no worries on the answers.
Short versions:
The unique ID's are regenerated when a sequence is copied.
Teststand doesn't need higher versions uninstalled to reinstall an earlier copy.
Connector Pane Checksum implies a different underlying VI, but having the same connector geometry/inputs/outputs/types should allow you to have a different VI for different installations without different sequence files.
Still waiting to hear back from support on whether the goto pointers get updated properly when a sequence or portion of a sequence is copied.

Read a file with a variable=counter : NAMEFILE001,NAMEFILE002..

Hello,
I would need your councils.
I can read a logical file on my server(logical example of name: NAMEFILE) with function FILE_GET_NAME.
But I would like to be able to read a file with a counter i.e.
the first time: to read NAMEFILE001;
the second time read NAMEFILE002;
the third time read NAMEFILER003...
How made you that?
With function FILENAME_EXIT _?
But, where do I put the variable = counter? In a table...?
Thank you in advance of your answer
Servane

Hi Servane,
You could also do the following:
in transaction FILE you set up the physical path name as follows:
/<i>path</i>/.../<FILENAME><PARAM_1>
then you call the function FILE_GET_NAME:
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
       EXPORTING
         LOGICAL_FILENAME        = W_LOGICAL_FILENAME
         PARAMETER_1             = W_FILENUMBER
      IMPORTING
           FILE_NAME               = THEFILE
       EXCEPTIONS
            FILE_NOT_FOUND          = 1
            OTHERS                  = 2.
This will equally construct the name/counter as you wish.
AND, if I am not wrong, since the system does it, you will not have to worry about putting the last counter value away in the DB.
cheers,
Phil

Unable to save the file because a sequence file with that path is already loaded.

Hi,
I am very new to TestStand tool. I does the following steps to execute sequences
1. Created New sequence file and stored same.
2. Execute the sequence
3. Release the file and engine shutdown(flase)
4. Run again same sequence file(again I am Saving), then I am getting above error.
This all developed in VC++.NET. Please suggest me that to over come this problem with sample code.

Hi rkk,
i am sorry for late replay. Please try this and tell me if there is still problem:objSequenceFile->Save(Application:tartupPath +"FileName");
objEngine->ReleaseSequenceFileEx(objSequenceFile, ReleaseSeqFileOptions::ReleaseSeqFile_NoOptions);
objEngine->UnloadAllModules();
//objSequenceFile->UnloadModules();

Dbms_scheduler.file_watch will only pull in files with t/s = last run...

Hello,
I may be missing something easy, but instead of spinning my wheels I'll ask.
I am new to using the file_watcher in the dbms_scheduler so I followed the directions posted in this link:
http://awads.net/wp/2011/03/29/did-you-know-about-file-watchers/
Now this works, I can process the file.
But the file_watcher WILL ONLY Pull files that are modified/created AFTER the last run.
Since I am NOT running this in parallel, that means any file not picked up in the initial run will simply sit out there aging.
Am I missing something? I understand that it may be desired behavior to only pick up new files, but our process moves the files out of the directory once they are found. It seems odd that if you do not run it in parallel the file will be ignored forever more.
Am I missing a param?

okay,
Lets say the time of the last run is
05/12/2011 @18:00pm
I place three files into the directory
File1 05/12/2011 18:01
File2 05/12/2011 18:02
File3 05/12/2011 18:03
At the 18:10 run, file1 is picked up and processed
File2 and File3 never get processed or sent to the stored procedure to run (even on the 18:20, 18:30 etc file_watcher runs). however, if I go into file2 and make a change (at 18:35) the 18:40 run will pick it up...
but without manual intervention File3 will never get sent to the stored procedure.
I would expect, at the minimum, that on the first file_watcher job that ran file1 would be picked up, then file2 and file3 and the next subsequent runs (without manipulation).
what I mean about not running in Parallel:

Photoshop saved a PSD file with security permissions, and now I can't access it. Please help!

Using Photoshop CC, I saved a PSD file after several hours of editing. I also exported a TIF file from the PSD. After closing Photoshop, I cannot access either file in any way. I cannot even copy them.
going to properties --> security, I get a message that reads, "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object." Click Advanced to continue.
When I click Advanced, it says "Unable to display current owner", and in none of the three tabs available (Permissions, Auditing, or Effective Access) can I click "Continue" and get any further than the message, "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings".
Please help me. This is highly frustrating, and a bug that is costing me over an hour of my time troubleshooting.
Thank you.
UPDATE:
I rebooted, and the files are... gone. Photoshop CC has no record of the file under "Open Recent".
What just happened? I lost a good 2 hours of work and a unique photograph
UPDATE2
I restarted the project, saved a PSD with Maximize Compatibility selected. Verified this file has appropriate permissions.
When I then go to File --> Save (not "Save as", but "Save"), after progressing to 90% or so, an error message comes up, "Could not save 'O:\[path]\file.PSD' because the file name was not valid."
I click "OK", and then go to the original file and check its permissions. They are now changed to "You must have read permissions".

I have this exact problem too. Windows 8.1 CC 2014 and all of a sudden I get the problems AIJ23 has. Say I have 8 files open, I save the first 3 or four, just with Control-S (saving in PSD format) no problem, then all of a sudden on the next save I get a message saying I don't have permission to save over the file followed by the same problems as above. I use Save As so I don't loose my work but I cannot delete/rename/change permissions of the original file. This only started happening about 2-3 days ago and only happens in Photoshop. I haven't managed to find much about this issue anywhere.

I can't seem to properly open saved Flash (.swf) files with Shockwave in Firefox.

I have saved .swf flash files on my computer. I can view flash files when part of an internet page, but when I try to open the saved ones on Firefox, it asks me if I want to download them. I have tried to change the settings in the 'options' and 'applications' thing in the 'Tools' part of the menu bar, but while the SWF file(application/x-shockwave-flash) content type is automatically set to use Shockwave in Firefox, I can't find a way to do the same with the SWF file (application/download) content type, which seems to include saved swf files.

Just out of curiosity, try playing the song in a different program . . . maybe Windows Media Player to see if it works. I wonder if it's corrupted....

Will saving a sequence file with modified variables work on all licensing levels of TestStand?
