XML Report displays Parameters instead of variable name

I would like the actual variable name to be displayed in the XML report instead of "Parameters". I have tried many things to make this happen with no success. Any ideas?

Hello kwkengineer,
What type of step are you utilizing, and which version of TestStand are you using? I tried reproducing this behavior in TestStand 2012 with LabVIEW 2012 using a LabVIEW action step, passing a cluster of boolean arrays, and the result was the following:
The parameters were set up as follows:
Please let me know more details about your particular step, and I will try to reproduce the problem on my side.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

XML report display in TestStand 4.0

I've just migrated from TS 3.5 to 4.0. 4.0 is more user friendly than 3.5. But I can't display my XML report after running sequences. If I choose other report format, everything is fine; if XML is set, the report file would be generated but I can't see it at sequence editor. I forgot what I did because at the very beginning, the XML report was OK. I posted my report configuration below and plz take a look.
Thank you

Hey ADahl,
NI doesn't really support customizing style sheets. There is a great tutorial here: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp
It's really not that hard to figure out what to change once you get digging through the style sheets. I found this site helpful when I customized mine: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052H-01/tssuppref/infotopics/report_stylesheets_details/
It lays out the sections so you can read the stylesheet better.
Failures should automatically be included in the report if that step is set to include results. Here is a doc on including other data in a report: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/8289 You should get your globals into the report by using one of the methods in there.
Honestly though when it comes to customizing the style sheet... there are a million and 1 ways to go about it. What I did was comb through the xsl file until I found the header information. Then I just added my own stuff in there and kind of copied off the format they had for the other stuff. Now it's looking great. I had to tweak some things here and there to get it exactly right.
Let me know if you have any other questions,

XML Report displayed error

Hello,
Had searched here but still couldn't found the solution. Is there anything to setup to display Oracle XML seeded report? It's just that I ran an Account Payables report, which is Oracle's default, and it displayed just the xml code. Thx.

Hi,
Yes I'd gone through that following notes but it explained if the Concurrent Request completed normal or warning while in my case it's Completed Normal but when I viewed the output, it gave me only the xml code in the browser and not the result. All I get was something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<P_ORG_ID>81</P_ORG_ID>

ALV Report displays space instead of '0.00' for qty field. why?

E63 displaying number instead of contact name

when I first got my new phone I needed to call my wife before I had imported all my contacts etc. Now when she calls or texts me, it just displays her number and not her name. There is no issue with anyone else...
Help!!
D

Good luck with fixing that problem... It has nothing to do with a reset or duplicate entries. There is a bug in the Nokia E series firmware that prevents the phones from picking up the caller ID of an incoming call from your contacts list. I'm having a huge fight with Nokia about this and they have admitted to me in writing that it is a bug in the firmware.
If you store a contact with the number only and no international prefix the caller id will show up on an incoming call but you'll find your incoming messages will only show the number.
If you store a contact with the international prefix (eg +679) the caller id will NOT show up on an incoming call but you will find that your incoming messages will correctly show the sender ID.
Not all E series phones suffer from the problem but most do. We have about 10 of them in our office (E51, E65, E66, E71) and ALL of them have the same problem. Our network operator, Vodafone, has confirmed the problem lies in the phones.
Nokia has created this problem themselves... there are over 220 versions of the E66, each one setup for a different network and operator. Nokia is no longer able to keep the many thousands of firmware versions that exist on their smart phones straight.
The problem is only going to get worse as they bring out more and more smart phones.
Contrast that with Apple's iPhone. One version of software for the whole world regardless of who the network operator is.
So if I don't get this sorted out with Nokia my E66 is going to be the last Nokia I own.
Because I have just discovered that Nokia just doesn't care.

Report displaying numbers instead of text.

Hello Everyone,
We have a planning application. I created a smartview report for employees, their hiring justification and man months. I tried to create a this report through by connecting to essbase server. In the report, I got random numbers for the text data (like 1431 for hiring justification of an employee). Later I found out that the text data was loaded through smartview to planning server, and not to Essbase server. Thats probably the reason I am seeing (Indexes) numbers for text fields.
Is there a way to still generate the report from essbase server, or do we have to load that data to essbase app of the planning application ?

As Jogn said you would have to use the planning connection. The smart lists used in planning are not in Essbase. Essbase stores the smartlist ID number not the text value.

Display Icon/Image instead of Role name in top level navigation

Hi,
I want to display a image / icon instead of role name for a particular role. Can you please tell me how to achieve this ?
Thanks,
VP

Hi,
the thread is just for the background image (for all elements).
if you want to display icons instead of role names, you have to create your custom top level navigation using the
navigation taglib from SAP. There are lots of examples. make a blog search for Mr "Kannengiesser" from SAP.
In case you are using already an EHPx in your EP 7.0 the AJAX framework might have this feature.

Text Variable(Customer Exit) displays variable name instead of its value.

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is to display the year(from variable) as the field name i.e Year end salary 2009.
I was using the fields name as hardcoded values like 2009 but as per my requirement i need to display it from the variable.
I tried using Text Variable using customer exit, but I'm getting variable name(zvariable) instead of value(2009).
Please help me out, many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ankur

Hi,
Actually I tried to create a Text Variable with Replacement Path.
But here the problem is that we have a Characteristic Variable (Customer Exit) which is not listing in the selection box of Replacement Path.
Hence we tried to create another Text Variable (Customer Exit) and refering to the same Customer Exit code.

Ankur

Built in viewer not displaying XML report

we are working on a test system that was originally developed elsewhere, using TestStand 4.0. It is generating XML report files, but not using the default NI schema, instead using both it's own 'custom' schema and reportgen sequence file for the report formatting. When it was running in TS 4.0, it all appeared to operate correctly, i.e. once the execution had come to an end, the built in TS viewer showed the XML file formatted correctly as defined in the XSL file.
For a variety of reasons, we have needed to upgrade to TS 4.2.1, and as a result, the built in report viewer no longer displays the XML report at teh end of an execution. Instead, it shows an error ...
'The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/<file_path>/TempReport.xml'
Looking in the <file_path>, there is a TempReport.xml file, which is empty, hence the error message, but there is also the correct xml file, with data in. Clicking on the 'Viewer' button in the built in report viewer kicks off IE, which correctly shows the saved report file, complete with the formatting as defined in the xsl file, so it would appear that the custom reportgen sequence is still doing it's job correctly, just that the built in viewer has a problem... (Incidentally, if you try to refresh the viewer, as suggested in the error message, it brings back the same error, but repetatively creates a new TempReport file, with a number appended...)
I've traced through the sequence model (this is the default model) and the tempReport file is only created when the sequence model finishes, (In fact checking the value of the Locals.ReportFilePath variable right at the end of the sequence model shows the correct filename...) suggesting that it is not a sequence problem, but rather something built into TS? (I saw some comment on another forum entry suggesting that a temp file is created when using IE as an external viewer, to prevent a memory leak)
Realistically this is not a major problem, but it has got to the level of annoying now, having to open an external viewer even though the built in one is loaded by default... I'm guessing that the built in viewer is just a simple browser? if so, why is it being passed the wrong file/creating an empty xml file. If I set the report back to standard xml, I see the report ok, but without the formatting.
It seems odd that this breaks in TS 4.2.1 but works fine in 4.0, when TS is meant to be backwardsly compatible
Any ideas would be gratefully received...

Thanks for the suggestion Anand... As it turns out, you were very nearly right. It turned out that it wasn't actually the stylesheet path that was causing the error, but instead the original developers had over-ridden the use of the standard NI xml report handler sequence to use one of their own, by setting the ReportOptions.format to a different name from xml. In the Setup Reports Display sequence call (uses a sequence in the modelsupport.seq file) there was a pre-condition on the format name, and as it no longer contained just xml, the precondition failed, and the sequence call that sets up temporary paths etc. never ran. I added an additional precondition state, to check for either xml, or the format used in this case, and everything sprung back into action. I'm not sure whether something similar was done previously in TS 4.0...
Is there a list of these known problems in TS 4.2.1? I did look around the NI site a bit before posting the initial question, and didn't see anything that seemed to detail this...
Once again, thanks for your assistance

BI publisher report does not displays parameters in dashboard

HI to all,
I have created a report in BI publisher with Parameters and list of values and it works as expected while running it through the BI Publisher.
I also added it into a dashboard, the dashboard displays the report correctly but it doesn't allow me to select/choose the list of values or to prompt for other values.
I wonder now if there is something wrong with the Publisher report and/or the dashboard or maybe OBIEE does not allows to place BI publisher report with parameters inside a dashboard.
Thanks
Roberto

If you embed the Bi publisher Report, you won't be able to see the parameters. Instead bring it in as a Link and then when you click on the link you should be able to see a new window pop up with parameters showing.
Alternatively, you can create dashboard prompts and have the publisher report filtered via those prompts.
Thanks!
