Remoisturizing entirely a Vim.dll Vimclient

Not for Powershell, but the undelrying Vim.dll.

I want to use it in a web about and rather than dealing with nightmares of file management I want to scratch the vmware_soap_session cookie, serialize the value for her and restore the session from the cookie on the recall instead of reconsignation in etc.

Well, I have the cookie and the reconnection done, but after you restore the Cookie, I still have a null ServiceContent.  The LoadSession doesn't have this problem, so I guess I can do something for the shot of the VimClient so he re-established the underlying connection. It looks like if I call a GetView to a known entity that can help, but it seems rather brutal.  Is there a more elegant way to re-establish the connection after you restore the cookie?

Also, I want to remove the need for a VimClient method to determine whether a session is under tension after the restoration.  I used just to call on ServiceInstance CurrentTime in the WebServices and capture the exception.  The 'isSessionActive' in SessionManager requires the user name and rather than having to carry around tooit would be easier to have a bool who used currentSession data in the cookie.  In all cases before kicking the SessionManager VimClient is null if this is a no go anyway.

Hello

If you do not want to backup/restore the cookie session to/from file, you can directly add VMware session cookie to VimClient.WebService.CookieContainer (in fact, LoadSession do the same thing):


Cookie sessionCookie = ....; // Already get vmware_soap_session cookie

VimClient vimClient;
vimClient = new VimClient();
vimClient.Connect(serviceUrl);
vimClient.VimService.CookieContainer.Add(sessionSookie);
SessionManager sessionMngr =
       new SessionManager(vimClient, vimClient.ServiceContent.SessionManager);
sessionMngr.UpdateViewData();

if (sessionMngr.CurrentSession == null) {
   throw new InvalidOperationException("Fail to reuse session cookie");
}

Kind regards

  • Use of VMWare.Vim.dll without PowerCLI

    Hello

    Is it possible to use VMWare.Vim.dll without installed PowerCLI?

    I developed a code using VMWare.Vim.dll in my system that has installed PowerCLI.

    When I run the application in another machine, it is thrown exceptions.

    Is required PowerCLI in the machine in which we execute the application?

    Thank you.

    According using VMware vSphere PowerCLI views from .NET it seems to require installation of PowerCLI.

  • Add step C/C++ DLL to "PlaySound" (winmm.dll)

    I have been searching the forum to try to find my answer and examples, but have not found a solution yet.

    I currently have a DLL that has a call to the Windows "winmm.dll" (Directory Windows\System32) system in a step ActiveX adapter, I can beep. (use c# and VB 6 code in the past)

    I use it mainly to play a sound to indicate that my code has reached a 'Fail' step for debugging.

    I am reorganizing my test systems to make them (there are 2 independent systems) so that I can check them in to TFS (source control) and allow them to be independent, absolute path using only the relative paths for the entire sequence and DLL calls.

    The problem I have is that I use the same process template for both, and I don't want to have an absolute path to the DLL that contains the 'Play Sound' function in the DLL.  The process model is called by TestStand top of the stack.

    I tried to access the "winmm.dll" to play the sound and the "mciexecute" function, but I can't step configured in my sous-suite ProcessModelPostStepFailure of process model.

    When you configure the Action step (as a "C/C++ DLL adpapter to the dll, I keep hitting roadblock that I get errors.)

    How to configure this adapter to match the function calls to the 'mciexecute '.

    Code c# uses system.media.SoundPlayer reference:

    This is called TestStand
    public static void PlaySound (String Path)
    {
    SoundPlayer spWave = new SoundPlayer (Path);
    spWave.Play ();
    }

    and VB 6 code is:

    Private Declare Function mciExecute Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal FileName As String) As Integer

    '# Function to play a sound. Used to report errors, or whatever.
    Public Function Sound (ByVal FileName As String) As Integer
    ' Arg: filename is the full path to one. To play WAV file.
    "Play sound
    Sound = mciExecute ("Play" & FileName)
    End Function

    Is this possible in an adapter TestStand steps?

    "How mocking the adapter correctly call for the ' mciExecute ' function?

    Mike

    Humphrey is incorrect. You can call this dll directly from TestStand. Most of the function prototypes can be called directly from TestStand. However, you will need to manually specify the prototype since the dll has no type information for which TestStand can automatically get the prototype. Simply specify the prototype as shown in the screenshot1.jpg file (return value is a 32-bit integer, the parameter is a string C const). You can also call directly to the .NET API from .NET adapter as shown in the screenshot2.jpg file

  • Windows Installer only installs an older DLL

    I use an application with the 1.0.33.1 version, my previous one was 1.0.32.1

    but unfortunately some dll in previous versions are like 32.1.0.0 (made a mistake when creating that msi).

    If during the installation, MSI has not installed correctly, so I have to uninstall the old version and install later.  I would like to know if the MSI package can be changed using Orca or similar, so that it forces the DLL must be installed without forcing to uninstall.

    As I placed the RemoveExistingProducts action between the InstallValidate action and the InstallInitialize action, the Setup program removes legacy applications entirely and the dll again with the incorrect version numbers are not replaced. (Error: in the Setup log - already a higher version is available)

  • How to move a VirtualMachine from one folder to another?

    Hello

    I try to spend a Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachine of a Vmware.Vim.Folder to the other with the API provided by the c# Vmware.Vim.dll of the

    PowerCLI in a Visual Studio 2010 project. Please be aware that these files are not 'normal' records, what is VMware containers...

    Could someone tell me how to do this?

    I found the virtual machine. Relocate_Task() method, but I was wondering weather that was to move the disks in the storage or must it be used for this task too?

    Greetings,

    Kjellski

    That's right, a paralytic is treated as a type of ResourcePool, so the MoveIntoResourcePool() - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.ResourcePool.html#moveInto , that's what you'll want to use. Unfortunately, this isn't an asynchronous operation, so you will be be blocked until the operation is complete, but this should be pretty quickly and if the defects are lifted, it will end the operation.

    I strongly recommend to take a look at the Onyx from VMware, it's allows you to literally run a transaction by using the vSphere Client and c# code appropriate, SOAP or PowerCLI is generated so you can easily see what methods are used for which operation. This is really useful in the diagnosis and determine what parameters are needed for a particular operation.

  • Problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot: it fails to remove the snapshot when I made a copy of file (Copy-Item) between calls to New-Snapshot and Remove-Snapshot if (and only if) I put - confirm option to $false. If - confirm is $true everything works, but it does not allow me to run the non-interactive script. The error that is returned is "vim.fault.InvalidVmConfig".

    Anyone know if there is a problem on my side, on the side of ESX Server or a bug in the VI Toolkit? Any possible workaround?

    I have attached the PowerShell script, I used to reproduce the error and the script log file that contains the error message.

    The versions I used are:

    VMware.Vim.dll (1.5.0.1299, "VI API 1.5.0 build.Net 142961")

    VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 110271

    I'm not able to reproduce this on my environment but I am sure that the issue is not with the - confirm: $false parameter. After you copy the file there is a timeout that is set to 10 seconds. Can you increase it (even if I do not at all see a reason of this time-out) and see what happens?

  • Satellite A60-723, cannot load DLL files at startup

    Hi, I bought an A60-723 for my education and one day I turned on my pc and it crashed, so I rebooted.

    When I rebooted there are scratches on the screen from the top down. Until the loading screen windows might appear, I had an error that a certain .sys is missing or damaged. I used the recovery cd, but it did not help .sys sometimes a another file was missing (examples: ntfs.sys, setupdd.sys)

    So I decited to format the entire disk. After that the bands would not disappear. And there was no error no that was asked to a bootable cd. So I inserted the windows xp pro cd and tried to install windows.

    While Setup was loading it crashed ad loading of DLL files, and an error has been reported error code 7, as well as another 4 error

    Here is a picture of the scratches that I was talking

    Anyone know what I need to do?

    Hello

    About scratches, put service! There is something of physically wrong with your machine.

    Regarding the startup problem, (do this test before putting service to the band-problem!) first try to use the recovery CD. Retrieve the device and see what happens. Do you find these missing errors file? If this isn't the case, at the same time, cause a little. Try to see if there is a "connection" between the bands and the missing files.
    Get missing files-errors only when you see the scratches? Maybe these 2 problems are really from the same source.
    In this case they should both set if you turn service.

    Hope this helps you.

  • Problems with ADSL modem Satellite A100 - isuser.dll might not be installed

    I tried in vain to install two different modems for ADSL on a Satellite A100 (running Vista).
    I started by uninstalling the drivers on the computer and then install the new 32-bit drivers from the manufacturers Web sites. (Tompson ST330 and Alcatel 330).

    Installation always seems to be going well until the end of the process, when he said that he did not and suggested that I call my ISP.

    It seems odd that two separate modems, made by different manufacturers do not reach a similar to the installation point.

    I know that the usb cable, filter, cable, modem and line are all ok, as if I unplug the modem to my laptop and connect it to my desktop (XP), the desktop can connect to the Internet without any problems.

    At this point, I got an error message that says "an installation support file that c:\...\_isuser.dll could not be installed - Access denied. "SpeedTouch PPP adapt."

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ken

    > I did uninstall the drivers on the computer and then install the new 32-bit drivers from the manufacturers Web sites.

    CA? It's really difficult to understand what exactly you were doing! Why did you deleted the drivers from the laptop and then installed all drivers from the manufacturers Web sites? And that the drivers have been removed?

    The entire description confuses me?  :|

    However, in my opinion, is there something wrong with the system files. The simple and the best way to solve this problem is; Recover the laptop with the CD after the operating system configuration and recovery Toshiba around trying to install the ADSL modem as shown in the modem manual!

    Install all 3 third-party applications or drivers after installing the CD recovery because of the bad influence!

  • Adapter DLL: Name of the function change & params without unloading of the DLL

    Hello

    I use teststand adapters API to dynamically build a DLL call step. Each dll function is called through this subsequence "DLL Manager."

    Tried 2 methods (here is a summary of the code):

    1 ActiveX as follows:

    CommonCModule.ModulePath = myDllpath

    CommonCModule.FunctionName = myFunc (Note: this call unload the DLL previously loaded)

    Module-> LoadPrototype

    (to set the params)

    2 steps statement:

    RunState.Sequence.Main ["Call DLL function']. TS. SData.Call.LibPath = myDllpath

    RunState.Sequence.Main ["Call DLL function']. TS. SData.Call.Func = myFunc (Note: this is a step, but the info seems not be updated-online the new feature is called not properly)

    Module-> LoadPrototype

    (to set the params)

    The two methods is exactly the same behavior, but good for the 1st function I call a work or if I dump the dll after the execute step.

    However, is there a way to use these steps (or other) at stage configuration, but without unloading the DLL between each call. In my test sequence, I must OpenConnection with the object to be measured before starting my orders, as well as the dll should not be discharged to keep the connection open...

    for example

    (1) OpenConnection()-online this function takes the handle of communication with the device

    (2) myCommand1()

    (3) myCommand2()

    (4) CloseConnection()

    Thank you for the help

    C.

    If I understand your question, there are several ways to solve the problem. The easiest is to place a call to the dll before your loop that you never change programmatically. This step will then keep the loaded dll (if any stage that uses a dll is loaded, then the dll remains loaded. A dll is unloaded when all the steps that use it are unloaded.). Another option is to have just internally your call to the dll LoadLibrary on itself so that it is never unloaded. You then leave the process to unload the dll well. Another option is to add the code directly to the sequence that explicitly, charge and discharge your dll with the Win32 API LoadLibrary and FreeLibrary.

    That said, what you describe, if I understand correctly, looks like a very unusual use of TestStand. Looks like you use TestStand as a dll calling rather than as a sequencer and write your own sequencer above it instead. Have you thought to generate an entire sequence to run in teststand, rather than a step at a time? Basically, convert your test script in a TestStand sequence.

    Hope this helps,

    What type "CString" defined?

    If it's a C++ type, as defined here, then you can not call this function directly from LabVIEW because LabVIEW can not pass of C++ types.  In this case, you will need to write a wrapper (in Visual Studio or another C++ programming environment) which takes a string (character array) standard C as an input, creates a CString from her and calls GetControllerListTest.

    If CString is defined as a fixed-length character array, then you need to replace the strings of LabVIEW with clusters of U8 containing a number of elements equal to the string length (LabVIEW does not support arrays of fixed length).

    If CString is defined as a pointer to a character array, you can pass the data to LabVIEW, but you must call the memory manager of LabVIEW functions to allocate memory for the string data and copy it.

  • Connect ALL? inputs and outputs of dll?

    Hello

    I'm having some trouble with the errors of access violation that stops at LabView runtime tests. I found this link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7253D2F0D91F68058625752F005AB672 where it says that all entries and exits of the calling node must be connected in order to get any memory access problems. My question is, how to fix this? I see for example that some of the vi that we received from National Instruments is inconsistent, for example DAQmx create .vi or DAQmx channel (void) start Task.vi, pic to see the attachment. Seems reasonable by the explanation given in the link, but strange that it is not followed by some of the vi that I got and I can not change.

    Well, there are several things to consider here. Not all DLLs are the same under the ecoverse of LabVIEW. Usually the C standard is completely not managed (to use a very familiar term to many since .net). This means that anyone holding hands with programmers during the memory allocations and deallocation execution or pass parameters from one component to the other. If the function expects a buffer to write in, the appellant has forgotten to allocate this buffer or attributed, it even smaller than the function byte wants to write, VERY BAD things can and usually will not move.

    In managed environments, there are specific to the appellants contracts and calles for satisfaction. Who's going on who needs to allocate memory and equally important with what memory allocator and a few other things. .NET has a special way of contract managed, but LabVIEW that has too, but not the same as .net.

    With an external DLL, you can have a DLL that is simply written by a C programmer and has its own way of management (generally no, which means the caller is always responsible to return any buffer possble that it passes to a called). But you can also write a DLL that is fully aware of the paradigma managed LabVIEW and knows how to resize a buffer that is passed within a way which is compatible with LabVIEW. These DLLs are linked in the labview.lib import file and make very specific LabVIEW use of Manager functions that are exported by the executable of LabVIEW. Using these functions of Manager of LabVIEW in a very specific way, the DLL is possible to deal directly with the data types native LabVIEW in a way that will not cause LabVIEW go belly upward after the function returns control to LabVIEW. It is not surprising that NEITHER uses in his own support for LabVIEW dll exactly these techniques. Some advantages of performance such as LabVIEW is not to convert data types C standard with a fixed its native data types (and potentially the way to buffer data in case the function may feel tempted to return a megabyte long string in the case of a special condition).

    The downside of such a DLL, it's that it is called from a LabVIEW VI and nothing else, since no other programming environment is native data types in LabVIEW and therefore will not provide the functions of Manager of LabVIEW that could bind to the DLL loading. For this reason, there are very few non - programmers OR who visit the hassle to write DLLs that directly use native data types in LabVIEW for its function parameters.

    With regular DLLS are not specifically written for LabVIEW, the original comment in your link is entirely true.

  • NEITHER Veristand DLL models simultaneous execution

    Hi all,

    I have to solve that problem is with my VeriStand workspace:

    I have a project NIVS with two models of dll (Run/Stop/Pause) execution is monitored in the Versistand workspace by two interface objects user 'Model Control'.

    I wonder if it is possible to manage the executions without a click twice, i.e. together with a click of mouse control.

    I tried to create a custom user interface object whose controls could / should manage all other objects dll controls in the workspace user interface. then I modified 'Model - model Control.vi' with the addition of a "Call by reference" block to call my user object interface custom controls; but an error occurs when trying to load the object in the workspace. The same problem using a Subvi rather than a reference call.

    I hope to be clear.

    You have a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Giulio

    Hi, Giulio.

    the fastest way to set values of multiple channels (aka "destinations") with a single source channel is the way user combination and maps. It is:

    (-) In the system Explorer, create a user called channel model batch start.

    (-) Press the button mappings on top and connect the channel the user to both channels of the execution of model, one for each model.

    Bind a control of the workspace to the user of the chain)

    In this way, you can change the execution mode of several models with a single channel model (and thus a mouse click). You can use a Boolean control if you just want to start/stop the model or an entire control if you want better control each State of execution, which are:

    0: start
    1: break
    2: reset
    3: save
    4: restore

    An interface object using custom user is honestly an overdose if you just have to set several values at once.

    Hope this helps
