• Impossible to go from baseline of connection via functional Global Variable

  Hello

  I'm working on a project of producer/consumer based, which some parties have access to a MySQL database. After the connection to the database, I want to store the reference to the connection inside of a functional global variable. Then other parts of the project that need to use it can only read in the functional global variable.

  For some reason, the reference of the connection is not valid once it has been read functional global variable. It works fine if I have the reference directly from the connection to the request for enforcement VI wiring.

  I have attached a few screws that show the problem, but you will not be able to run them unless you have a database to connect to and hack you the query a little so he selects in your tables.

  SQL_whole_thing works very well. It connects to the database, returns information he requested by the query, and then disconnects. No problem.

  But if I run DB_Connect.vi (which stores the reference to 'DatabaseID_FGV' FGV), follow-up of SQL_Query.vi (which reads to the FGV reference), then I get an error saying that the reference is not valid.

  Anyone has an idea why this happens?

  Thank you

  Christian.

  PS: You'll need DBID_FGVActions.ctl and database_connectioninfo.ctl, also attached

  Your referance on the SR's "outdated" when implementing this way.  Essentially, this means that data in memory to this referance has changed because the referance was stored.  Just because you have changed the data at this location.  This prevents you from spend a refeance for the "old data" and crashing the calling application since the referance Rassi contains assumptions that are more adequate data.

  Consider upgrading this FGV powered Action.  This would be encapulate all the Actions you want to do to the database (connect, disconnect, fecth, writing etc.) and maintain the current referance on the AEs shift register.  Ben establishes a great deal for just this type of functional encapsulation in his famous nugget.  A must read for every programmer

• How to create a Global Variable through the Project Explorer

  Hello world!

  I know how to create a global variable (in a vi through the range of functions...).

  but I'm missing a way to create one via the Project Explorer.

  It's a missing feature or just this documentation (and the intuition of myself) are missing?

  It would be very convenient.

  THX for your time and hope that answers.

  EDIT: although I agree with Gerd (he probably wondering why you need so we can recommend a better way ), I rarely use them in easy to write once - read many applications such as security levels overall program at initialization (VER) to read later, but NOT modified.  I know it would be better to make a good class, functional Global Variable (FGV) or a motor Action (AE) but globals ARE practical and safe IF used wisely.

• How to access a global variable that is common between the different baskets project library

  My project consist of several libraries, after generation the library project packed for each library, I find it cannot share data in a global variable between different packaged project library file. For example: packed project library #1 contains VI variables global wirte 'position' and give it a value '400 '. Library #2 present another VI project try to read this global variable, but he gave reading of is NULL not "400". Why has this happened? Is it possible to solve, welcome any help, I wll appreciate for this!

  If you understand what is happening here...

  When you build a PPL, it takes in the .lvlib and also all the dependencies of the .lvlib.

  In your case, when you generate the Test Task.lvlib in a .lvlibp, she also pulls on a copy of the DataProcess.lvlib:GlobalsVariable.vi because it's addictive to read GlobalVar.vi.

  When your application runs, you end up with two copies of GlobalsVariable.vi in memory:

  DataProcess.lvlibp:GlobalsVariable.vi

  AND

  Test Task.lvlibp:: GlobalsVariable.vi (I don't know how PPLs namespace dependencies... If there is still the DataProcess.lvlibp)

  Because they are different screws (i.e. in a different namespace), they have their own memory and that's why you can't access the data.

  Your Test Task.lvlibp calls the version of GlobalsVariable.vi, he pulled the dependencies.

  To solve this problem - you must ensure that Task.lvlibp of Test calls the version of GlobalsVariable.vi of the DataProcess.lvlibp - you'll need to replace all instances with the version of the PPL. Of course, if you run DataProcess in the development environment, then it will always be bad namespaced, hence the suggestion to put your global variable VI in is own PPL that you then use in the process of data and Test tasks.

• Package global Variable - Collection - Associative Aray

  All,
  
  What we are doing is...
  (1) fill us tab_emp_sal_comm with big collect and browse in a loop.
  (2) check if the deptno success is available in the tab_emp_sal_comm collection.
  (3) if it is available to fill a collection called tab_emp_sal_comm_1 and push corresponding only files inside.
  (4) of the corresponding collection, we want to fill at the table of global collection of package which is again of the same type.
  (5) by default for each new call old values are replaced, but I want to add the global variable at each call and finally do a big update to the corresponding tables.
  (6) l_deptno will be a parameter and values will change at each call of this procedure in the code in real-time.
  
  For the sake of ease, given an example simulated the EMP table. Goal is to add the global table in the package. Because each call, the previously loaded values are replaced. I want them to be available and additional calls should only add the values in the next set of lines instead of over writing.
  
  How to achieve it, please discuss.

  Hi Ramarun,

  (1) operator MULTISET, AFAIK, is to always give a dense nested table. To create a sparse nested table, the only way is to delete some items with the DELETE method.

  (2) using the 1... NesTableVar.count is valid only when the collection is dense. With the release of MULTISET UNION you won't have a problem. But if you have a loop in a rare collection, you must use another method.
  Below is an example:

  declare
    type  t_set is table of number;
    set1  t_set := t_set(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
    idx   integer; 
  
  begin
    -- make collection sparse
    set1.delete(3);
    set1.delete(7);
  
    idx := set1.first;
    while idx is not null
    loop
       dbms_output.put_line('Set('||idx||'): '||set1(idx));
       idx := set1.next(idx);
    end loop;
  end;
  / 
  
  Output:
  Set(1): 1
  Set(2): 2
  Set(4): 4
  Set(5): 5
  Set(6): 6
  Set(8): 8
  Set(9): 9
  Set(10): 10
  

  (3) you can use FORALL update/insert/Delete with the help of a nested table. It is dense, you can use 1... NesTableVar.count, if it is rare, then you must use another method as explained here.

  Kind regards.

  first of all, I get the local IP address machine using WEBUTIL in triggering of the PREFORM and initialize my global package variable by ' Client_Info_Pkg.Set_IP_Address (WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO.» GET_IP_ADDRESS); ", then I tried to make the DML operation in my form and at the same time I trigger database also uses the package global variable of" Client_Info_Pkg.Gand_IP_Address; "to read in the package, and then insert it into the audit table

  
  

  The question this database trigger may not feel the initialization "Client_Info_Pkg.Set_IP_Address (WEBUTIL_CLIENTINFO. GET_IP_ADDRESS)' I did in triggering of the PREFORM and I used to wonder if oracle create new session to run this trigger so he can't see my boot or what?!. .

• Global variables packed... rather than packaged procedure parameters...

  Hello
  There is only one version of procedures packed with parameters that are called in the following diagram.

  Package test
  
    function A(p1)
  
      as
  
       begin
  
         return x;
  
       end;
  
       
  
    procedure test1(x1 ..... ,
  
                           x2 tab%rowtype)
  
       as
  
         local_1 .....;
  
  
  
         begin
  
             ....
  
            local_:=A(p=>....);  /*the function is called*/
  
            test2(x3=>x1,     
  
                     x2=>x4);      /*the below procedure is called*/  
  
         end;
  
  
  
    procedure test2(x3 .....,
  
                            x4 tab%rowtype)
  
     as
  
       begin
  
           .....                 /*before the commit another procedure 
  
                                   is called (which is also declared in this package
  
                                   but is not written here....)*/
  
           insert into .....
  
           commit;
  
       end;

  Instead of passing parameters of the procedure for the procedure to be used in the last procedure, namely in test2, I consider to change the schema above and declare a packaged global variable which are available to all procedures in the package...
  Something like...

  package test
  
   as
  
      x1 ......;
  
     x2  tab%rowtype;
  
     <other variables>
  
    function A;
  
    procedure test1;
  
    procedure test2;
  
    ......

  Is there another way...?
  
  Note: I use DB 10.2.0.4

  the only danger is almost simultaneously in the same session
  two executions of the packaged procedures/functions are running

  But that can never happen.

  A session is single-threaded (I don't know if it's the correct term).

  You cannot run two... things... at the same time.

• Access via IP Global DMZ host

  Don't know if this is possible, but we have a host on a PIX 515e DMZ with local address 192.168.2.2 & a global address defined through static type (dmz, outside) statement. External hosts can access the server through the global address - no problem. Although we have full access to the host from the inside through the address 192, it is possible to access the host through its global address from inside - some of our applications are hard-coded to use the global IP address! This allows to work with our old firewall.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thank you

• To access the Global Variables in the functions/methods

  Which of the following statements is better in terms of performance and efficiency?

  public var a: int = 0;

  
  

  public void add (): void {}

  a += 5;
  

  }

  Addition();

  OR

  public var a: int = 0;

  public void Addition(b:int):int {}
  b += 5;
  Back to b;
  }

  a = (a) Addition;
  
  I saw a lot of guides discourages the use of global variables in the functions/methods, but I just don't understand why anyone would create a copy of the variable, modify this copy and to grant this value to another variable and throw.

  You must create an instance to pass to your function.  the parameter (for example, mov) does not create a separate instance and creates only a temporary pointer to the passed object.

  If an instance is prepared for gc, having spent this instance to any number of methods (as a parameter) delay / will not interfere with ca.

  and Yes.

  MOV ['x'] = mov.x,

  MOV ["rotation"] = MOV.rotation,

  MOV [anypropertystring] = MC.anyproperty

  Flash uses array notation to solve strings into objects:

  var var1:ClassType = new ClassType();

  This ['var1'] = this.var1

• Table as a global variable

  It left me speechless.

  I have looked through examples and the forum, but could not find a solution to my problem.

  I am writing a program that has a table of values on the screen before and various under vi that update the values in the table.  I have to be able to read the values of the cells in the table, but I understand that this cannot be done.  So I try to use tables to keep the values that I want to read and just write to the table when I have to.

  In any case, I need to create a table that can be accessed by all the sie.  I added a table to the gobal.vi control but when I select a sub vi I get a node of Blackboard, and if I have anything wiring him get a cut wire.

  I have attached the screws overall and initializatio

  You have added an empty array to the Global Variable. Just add a numeric control to the table in the GV, and you will get a table of numerical values, which you will be able to use.

  Thank you

• Global Variables are preferable to the Globals functional - so there! :-)

  I feel a little controversial today so forgive the brutal title of this post

  I've never used global variables because I was under the misconception that they are somehow 'bad '. That's all I've heard since I started learning the LabVIEW. Review the code in the nets upconvert and downconvert. The ugliest code uses globals and some of the most beautiful code does not work. This means that bad programmers use global variables and globals are so bad programming practice. This is not true. Globals are just easy to use for newbies to use them. ' Not initialized what? I can't find those on the pallette? »

  I think I always wondered unconsciously that globals are bad. They are not bad, it is their use that may be bad. This is true for anything in life.

  The first and the most obvious problem with global variables is racing conditions. But this is not strictly the overall causing the race condition. This is the data stream is not defined.

  

  But the same is true if functional a global being misused. In the example below there is nothing to enforce data streams.

  

  You must run the data flow with a thread of error for example.

  

  Globals do not have a thread of error but not fear - the man of the sequence is here!

  

  You only need the sequence if the global is directly on your drawing. These two structures of single image sequence could be replaced by a NumericWrite.vi and a NumericRead.vi containing nothing but overall, a command or the indicator respectively and the terminals of the error. Put it online and it is good as gold. Or you might have a Subvi containing nothing but a frame two cases selected by an enumeration containing the elements 'Get' and 'Set '. Now, it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Don't you worry by the overhead of the structure of the case either. If the enum is a constant, it will be unfolded.

  Another problem with globals, it's that they are, well, global. Is not different from a functional overall, so it isn't really a problem anyway. Globals and globals functional it is easily taken by placing them in a library and define the scope of the access. Not to mention that libraries give you namespaces and "namespaces are one honking great idea - do several of these!" *

  The real reason to use a global rather than a functional overall is that they are about twice as fast.

  Until this morning I would have recommended to use a more functional global overall. But I changed my mind. Someone can it change back?

• global variables shared between several targets of RT

  Hello

  I'm looking for some information about variables shared between RT communication network.

  Scenario: a PXI 'master' and several 'slave' PXIs running that screw RT. data is available in the form of a cluster of definied type on each slave PXIs (inside a non deterministic while loop). I guess I create global variables of network shared for each PXI slaves. A variable for each slave. I only write data in these variables in one place (above mentioned, while loops), on the PXIs slave. I need to read that data in a way with loss (I just need that value the most recent, as tags) from the master PXI.

  Question: can I simply use "network shared variable" settings by default? I mean, I do not enable the option RT FIFO (single element), because I think that for a cluster that is a no go in the case of RT (variable length)?

  What do you think? Or would you have better idea how to share data between slaves and masters RT targets (I do not have deterministic/losless transmissions, only these last values)?

  I think that the way to proceed is to use the shared Variable Aliasing/binding - they allow you to 'link' shared variables in any of the multiple targets. https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Bind-Alias-shared-variable-to-scan-engine-variable/td-p/3290043.

  You can also use shared variables of programming access to access running on another target: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvconcepts/usingdynvarapi/

  With regard to the other methods - you could always disseminate data via UDP multicast (or with a TCP/IP connection manager).

• Global Variable length problem

  Hi all
  
  I'm moving a group of a pll key values.
  I'm holding all the key values in a text field that can contain up to 10000 bytes and I'm assigning the text field values to a global variable.
  This value of the global variable is read by pll and fetch the records using these key values.
  
  But I'm getting ORA-06502 error. This is a question about the length of the variable.
  Form builders help I got to know that this global variable can hold only up to 5000 bytes.
  
  Suppose that
  New_id is a text field that has more than 7000 bytes values separated by comma
  
  New_id is that a text field of type char length is 10000,
  
  +: global .new_cust_id: = Block.new_id +;
  
  On this line, I get ORA-06502 error, because this value is used by other packages.
  
  Can someone help how do I fix this
  
  Use forms [32 bit] Version 11.1.1.4.0 (Production) and Oracle database 11 g R2
  
  Thank you
  malandain

  Citing the Globals online documentation:

  A global variable is a variable of Oracle Forms whose value is available for the triggers and the subprogrammes in any module that is active in the current session. In previous versions of Oracle Forms, a global variable stores a string of length, for all uses up to 255 bytes. In Oracle 10g form, global variables are now limited to 4000 bytes when they are set or referenced using PL/SQL bind variable notation. for other uses, no limit is imposed.

  This means: If you access the global variable like this:

  :global.variable := value;
  

  You can store up to 4000 bytes in length. If you use the copy and name_in built ins you should be able to store up to 32767 bytes in a global variable.

  .. and so on and so forth...

  In short, I want the code in:

  -form1. #subform [0]. Item1Cost::calculate :-(JavaScript, client).

  .. .to be able to access the variables I created in:

  -form1. #subform [0]: initialize :-(FormCalc, client).

  
  (I guess that's where I store global variables)

  At this point, global variables are not accessible with the above configuration.  Was the only one I can get this working is to cut and paste the Globals in each item of form1. #subform [0], which of course defeats the purpose of global variables!  I intend to have a lot more items so wouldn't duplicate global variables for each of them!

  Can someone show me how to do this?

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you

  Post edited by: stanbridgej - colors and fonts or not will not save.  Are bolded my question make (non-fat) code easier to read (I hope).

  I haven't used Formccalc, but I thought it would be the same regardless. Insert a script object to the top of the hierarchy and call it, for example "sco." Paste the Globals. Then refer to variables of the extent that sco. Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1, etc. Make one

  App.Alert (sco. Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1);

  one of the fields. If the debugger is activated, it will tell you if it cannot resolve the reference as "sco. In this case, you may need to use the som expression to reference the script object, for example

  var scoScript = xfa.resolveNode ("topOfHierarchy.sco");

  scoScript.Cityscope_Sydney_CostUser1

  But if as close as possible to the top of the hierarchy above should work.
