Converts a string to vcFolder

Hello everyone, in our Vcenter, each user has a folder bearing his name.

I have a simple workflow that create the new virtual machine for the model.

for example, when the user start the workflow - I get the full name of the current user and I want the new virtual machine will be created in his file (by name).

for example:

get the full name of the user

var user = Server.getCurrentLdapUser ();

displayName - DisplayName

try to set the virtual machine folder:

vcFolder = displayName?

I don't know how to convert the string to the vcFoldet object.

The method that you use is excessive because it seeks all the VM folder on your virtual Center (and you may end up having a folder in a location that is different from what you want).

Create an action with an input parameter parentFolder (the folder in which you will search other folders) of type vmFolder and a foldeName of string attribute (the name you're looking for).

for each (var child in parentFolder.childEntity) {
    if ((System.getObjectType(child) == "VC:VmFolder") && folderName == child.name) return child;
}
return null;

You can now use this action setting with your usernames & parent folder vm.

  • How do to convert the string (with the Hex data) in number?

    Hello

    I use TestStand 3.5 to automate a few test cases associated with boot loader.

    The requirement is that I need to read the value in some places for specific address. The values of these addresses are stored in a hexadecimal format.

    We have a step customized in TestStand through which we can read these values by address, but she returns as the type "String".

    For example, the value to 0 x 0000008 is 000001 B 2, and he returned in Locals.Value_Read as "000001 B 2" in the string.

    Is it possible, I can convert the string "000001 B 2" to a number?

    I tried to use the function-> val (locals. Value_Read), but it is return 0 as TestStand figures that the input string is not representing the valid number.

    Please help me with this.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Niraj.

    Try: Val ("0 x" + Locals.Value_Read)

  • How to convert a string to byte array

    detailed information please see the photo. I hope someone can give me some instructions, thank you very much.

    The accepted solution of Giedrius.S is not correct, based on the image shown in the first post. That the solution will not eliminate the spaces before the tip, and the string to byte array to convert individual characters '0', '8', 'space', '9', etc. for them to byte values.

  • Converts a string (float single precision) in decimal

    Hello

    I use reading series base and write vi to communicate with a device.  The answer I receive (shown in hexadecimal format) is 4606 8D3B, which from what I understand (this discussion: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/string-to-number-conversion-a-very-interesting-observation/m-p/32170... ) the data is not actually hexadecimal but rather binary and appears just hex for the user.

    My camera manual says that this information is "Float - 4-byte ANSII standard simple precision, low to high" and I'm trying to convert this string to a decimal value.  (it should be 0.004 or e-3 xx 4)  So far I've written a program that separates the bytes in a table of 4 bytes, each binary converts and then separate all binary bits and try to group return the binary bits in the exponent and the mantissa to calculate the value, but it seems rather convoluted and I hope that there is a more simple function in that all this is done automatically.  Also, since the answer is low to high, I understand that I must first return the number of 3B8D 0646 make high to low, but I think I did that already, it's just the conversion that I do not know how.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    in your vi there is no 'CH2-01. Do you mean "DAQ21"?

    Are you sure this isn't a problem of formatting Excel? You set all the numbers in the excel worksheet to display in the form of "numbers"?

  • Converting a string to an array of integers (ints)

    I need to do ot an app that will read in numbers, or data means, in a text file on an SD card and then convert them in a line graph. Currently I am able to read the contents of a text file and store it as a string with this code

     private String readTextFile(String fName) {
            String result = null;
            FileConnection fconn = null;
            DataInputStream is = null;

              is = fconn.openDataInputStream();
              byte[] data = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(is);
              result = new String(data);

    I tried to use string.split("") as this seems to be what is generally done when I have the problem of google. When I try this however I get an error "the split (String) method is not defined for the String type.
