Validation table - advice on the best approach to please? :)

Hi All - would appreciate some advice please...

I have a (static) table in my form according to the directions of the image below:

Impact Table.JPG

Each drop-down list is the same, the user can choose to "Minor", "Moderate", "Significant", "Major" or "Intolerable". When they do the selection I need several things:

  1. The background color of the cell needs to change to 'Minor' = green, "Moderate" amber, "Significant" = amber =, 'Major' = red or "Intolerable" = red.
  2. The selection should auto fill all right with the same value that some - for example if a user selects 'Major' in the second cell of the row from the top (finance), all the cells to the right should default to "Major" and change color accordingly.
  3. The selection must define the deposit available towards the bottom of choice to ensure the impact assessment can only increase over time – for example, if a user selects 'major' all the downs fall standing on this line (to the right of the selected dd) have only the option of selecting 'Major' or 'intolerable '. The line should be hidden if the user then changes a selection, the result of which means the coast got less over time - which means that the line must be performed again.

The dropdown values are related to specific numbers ('Minor' = 1, 'Significant' = 2, etc.) and that must remain the case that the values are used in the XML at a later stage.

I had managed to get the color change of work and had tried to implement a "Switch" statement to define the drop down lists (number 3 above), does this have worked if the user makes selections according to the rule regarding the impact that worsen over time, but I had a very odd behavior when the user changed a selection subsequently and 'broken' rule. I have since deleted all javascript code to leave.

My question is this: what would be the best way to get what I want to do?


Could make you in an efficiant manner using a function / script object or other?

I would be very grateful if someone could suggest a method, provide a snippet of code perhaps or even write the code for a single cell for me stick in every other ?

Here is the form: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncvq9cyoqolh2tn/BIA%20Impacts%20Table.pdf?dl=0

Thank you very much

Hi, Ellis,.

Sorry, misread the requirement.  If the date should be copied across, without worrying, then you can delete the statement altogether.

dateField var = contextItem.parent.resolveNode ('#field.) ([ui.oneOfChild.className == "dateTimeEdit"]');

dateField.rawValue = ImpactsSubForm.DateTimeField1.rawValue;

This version also manages the date fields with different names (referencing of nominally ui elements child element class... just do not add another date field to the line)

  • Need some advice on the best way to do specialized source distribution

    I need to give a customer a labview block, they can use our material in their own labview code that will read the (encrypted) data net senor off the coast and the flow of data in a form usable output.  I built a vi that can be used in a loop, a bit similar to the block of canned labview data acquisition that can be used to acquire data from products OR.

    There are many sophisticated (and secret) algorithms going on in the background which make sense data and translate them into a usable data table, but also configure the hardware itself. Accordingly the only final vi I prepared to distribute the client makes use of Subvi about 20. Almost none of these subvis could be ideally be reconverted in plain code in main vi, nor what I want to do this.

    The rules of the game is the following: I want to give him the block I created to use its own code, without him to see what's happening inside the vi.  I can deny him access to the block diagram/s, no problem, but I don't want to give him access to the subvis, to use, or even to know their names - preference they would be hidden or otherwise pre-compiled. Preferably I would just give him the main block only, perhaps with some support files that would be entirely opaque to him.

    Looking for advice on the best way to go. There is an elegant solution to this problem? For example, it would be better to compile the block as a .dll file, and then write a wrapper vi any?

    Have you thought of creating a packed library? You can also password protect your code. You can delete the distributed code block diagrams. You can use a combination of the above as well.

  • What is the best approach to the conversion of the LV7.1 tags to the variables shared by several screws LV2012?

    What is the best approach for the upgrade of the DSC-LV2012/LV7.1/DSC static variable tags in several screws running on several platforms? Our system is made up of about 5 PC running Windows 2000/LV7.1 DURATION, the more a PLC and a PDC running XP/SP3/LV2012. About 3 PC publish information from the sensor through tags on the local network to the PDC. Only the main command is currently being upgraded. Basic questions:

    1. the other computers running RTÉ 7.1 (with labels) will be able to communicate with the PDC running 2012 (shared variables)?

    2. is it necessary for conversion of tags shared variables, or the deprecated legacy tag screws of LV7.1 work in LV2012?

    3 all of the main controllers will be screw must be integrated in a project in order to use shared variables?

    4 is the only way to do it is to find all the tags and replace them with elements of shared variable?

    Thank you in advance with all the information and advice!

    Please explain why you made your choice.


    Thanks in advance,

    Tom,

    At this point, you're pretty much stuck to a GPU upgrade. You see, that the GTX 560 Ti is not is properly supported in first Pro CC 2015 when it comes to acceleration GPU of MPE. As such, you may experience random program crashes and/or repeated which are fixed only when you disable acceleration GPU of MPE and run first in software mode only MPE.

    The other improvements are out of the question: the i7 990 X CPU uses the chipset Intel X 58 now-seven-year-old, whose native Intel SATA ports are limited to SATA II (3 GB/s or 300 MB/s) flow. All support 3 SATA or USB 3.0 on motherboards that use such an old chipset comes entirely from complement third-party chipsets to companies such as NEC/Renesas and Marvell. And we know how slow the Marvell SATA 3.0 ports work are compared with native Intel SATA 3 implementation on newer chipsets. Unfortunately, a CPU upgrade would have exceeded the maximum budget $ 350 because both the CPU and motherboard (and probably RAM as well) should be replaced by such upgrade. And additional SSD upgrades are out of the question because newer SATA SSD would have been restricted by the sustainable maximum rate of 270 MB/s of SATA II.

    Therefore, the only feasible upgrade would be a new GPU for your system now five-years.

    Good luck in your quest to upgrade,

  • What would be the best approach to store the contents of an application

    Hi all,

    Whereas there are certain restrictions on the University Complutense of MADRID since the limit of files in a folder (max. 1000), that would be the best approach to store the contents of a request, for example? Is it possible to store the content with a logic of separation?

    Kind regards

    Maybe that I miss the question, but I think you are looking for a good definition of the metadata model or same good architecture of content server instances themselves.

    You wrote that you have lots of files from one application (1200 check-ins per day) and you are limited by the recommendation to have maximum 1000 files in a folder. It is a bit of a mix of apples and oranges. Records are a logical representation of file storage, who must somehow match what users a) are used for b) is useful to organizational processes. If it makes no sense in the context of your organization - just don't use them. At the University Complutense of MADRID, he must be. Unlike, the University Complutense of MADRID must always have a metadata model, and if the content search is one of your typical use cases, it is a starting point.

    You mentioned you want to separate an application an application documents X documents Y - that sounds like you have a metadata field called, for example, 'Application', which will contain the appropriate value. Unfortunately, you write more detail, so I'll make my scripts:

    -Imagine you have users who work areas or countries interested only in 'their' data - sounds like a need for one or more fields to represent this type of separation (country - State - City - whatever)
    -now, you might have another group of users who are more focused on the product; They also want to see 'their' data, but this time, the main search criteria are different (product line - product - Version - Batch, etc..)

    At the University Complutense of MADRID, you can serve both groups - you can create research and recording of profiles that meet the needs of these two types of users. It's actually more convenient than using the folders because you can have multiple views on the same repository.

    It is a "but" to this approach and that's if you want to use Desktop Integration after the check in documents from Office applications (Word, Excel). In this case, you will need records.

    However, even, there is a solution that might help: note that, so far, I expect to have a single repository (a single instance of the University Complutense of MADRID) serving all your applications. In theory, you could have a few instances UCM running in the same environment (the same number of licenses CPU, if you want). Therefore, the main criterion will be the name of the server instance of content rather than a metadata field. Another thing to consider if you want your "desktop users" for access to "all files" in the repository. Note that even if you use folders you can have files that are not assigned to any folder.

    Hello

    I'm just after the best method to create a pdf document that got charts?

    I have an order form which must be converted to an editable pdf form that users can fill in electronically and email back. Currently, the document is in Excel, and while I can convert it to PDF, I prefer to create the whole thing using the PDF.

    Should what tools I use for this?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    PDF files should not be created from scratch and if you try to do you will soon discover that it is extremely difficult and heavy.

    Stick with the creation of the file in Excel (or any other similar application, such as Word, InDesign, etc.) and then convert to PDF and add form fields in Acrobat.

    Be sure to keep a copy of the Excel file, well, in case you need to make any changes to the layout of the file later.

    If you don't do this then you can order replace Pages use in Acrobat to insert new pages (static) on the 'old' in your PDF file, that will keep all the form fields and scripts of tact. You need to just adjust the locations or the size of the fields, where this is necessary.

  • Audit of the tables - what are the best ways to do so?

    Hi all

    DB version: 10g.

    Brief description of the problem: at the moment, I'm working on an application that has a java interface and oracle
    back-end. We have no access to the java code at all. So, it's a complete black box. . I was wondering, if I could go for a trigger level diagram to know which tables columns are altered on certain measures to the interface. Or, if I know the tables specifically, let's say A tab and tab B. I should go to a level trigger line on them, instead of going a
    schema level trigger. What approach will be the best? If possible, would you please point me to some code examples
    for each of them.

    Thank you.

    Question seem you too much, but my understanding is that you want to 'Access session values' in the Apex.

    In Apex, all elements of the page that is presented, and the session will be available in the session.

    example: If you have the page 1 and P1_NAME like a text field, and if you send the page, access to this to say page 2 P2_NAME to: P1_NAME & P1_NAME. v ('P1_NAME') etc. Then try this under P2_NAME default value setting, enter & P1_NAME. It has the value of P1_NAME to P2_NAME.

  • Support for PIVOT query (or advice on the best way to do it)

    Hi gurus of SQL,.

    I'd appreciate any help you could provide on this request, I'm assuming that the best way to do this would be by using the PIVOT function. I read through some of the documents and books, and done some research here in the forums, but can't seem to find a way to make it work.

    I'm on Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 self.

    I have a table like this:
    ID     Product          Month_A_Amt Month_B_Amt Month_C_Amt     Month_D_Amt
    
    123     ProductA     3          5          7          9
    123     ProductB     2          4          6          8
    123     ProductC     10          11          12          13
    456     ProductA     1          2          3          4
    456     ProductB     3          4          5          6
    We get this data each month - Month_A is always the most recent month, and so it goes back for this game, Month_A is 09 November, Month_B is October 09, Month_C is Sept 09, etc. I'm OK with Hardcoding this value each month, so for the purposes of this exercise, just assume that Month_A is the 09 November, Month_B is Oct 09, Month_C is Sept 09 and Month_D is Aug 09.

    I need essentially "Pivot" in this table, so the end result looks like this:
    ID     Month          Product_A_Amt     Product_B_Amt     Product_C_Amt
    
    123     Nov 09          3          2          10
    123     Oct 09          5          4          11
    123     Sep 09          7          6          12
    123     Aug 09          9          8          13
    456     Nov 09          1          3          null
    456     Oct 09          2          4          null
    456     Sep 09          3          5          null

    Hello

    You don't want to make several clauses UNPIVOT and PIVOT; you want to do several sets of columns in a cluase PIVOT and UNPIVOT one clause.

    In the UNPIVOT clause, it's just a matter of replacing the unique "amt" column before the keyword FOR with a list in parentheses '(amt_1, amt_2)' and the replacement of each column in the list (for example, "month_a_amt") with a list of the same length ("(month_a_amt_1, month_a_amt_2)" ").
    In the PIVOT clause, it's just a matter of replacing the unique "SUM (amt)" aggregate function with a list of unparenthesized of functions, each with an alias ("the SUM (amt_1) AS amt_1, SUM (amt_2) AS amt_2'. The alias that will be added at the end of the givien for names output column in the IN clause.

    It looks like all the new values of amt2 are 9. Don't you think it's the best test? I think that different numbers, as you used for the examples of previous data, reduce the chances of getting good results purely by chance.

    If you want to experiment with queries like this, I suggest you use "SELECT *" (nothing added) in the SELECT clause. Start with just an UNPIVOT operation. Some examples in the documentation to do a TABLE CREATION AS... to save the results of an UNPIVOT operator and use this table as the base for a PIVOT table. I think it's a good idea to reduce confusion.

  • What is the best approach for a same code used for 16 test stations

    I write code for 16 testbeds that are all the same, except that different circuits CAN are used, i.e. CAN0 through CAN15. The approach that I plan to use is 16 screws, one for each test station executes independently and in parallel, meaning that they can be stopped and started at different times. Each of the 16 screws have about 10 complex subVIs that are all the same. Even if I do not use uninitialized shift registers, I wonder if there is no advantage to using a reentrant approach, or even if it works for my application. Any suggestions are appreciated as I have no experience using the reentrant approach.

    Thank you.

    First of all, you should get used to use projects. They are very useful. If the code is in a project, you can open the VI from there.

  • Need advice on the best way to set up a 6 nic Server

    I have a server with 6 cards.  Looking for some suggestions on the best way of provision.  We use the software iscsi client.

    Here's what I think to do:

    0/2 NIC (one onboard and a pci): VmNet

    1/3 network interface cards (one on board and a pci): vmkernel: vmotion/service console

    approx 4/5 (pci): vmkernel for software iscsi

    Is there a better way to do it?  It's just the way I'm used to doing.  It would be nice to maximize the number of ports used for iSCSI.

    Thank you!

    -shane

    Tough call...

    If you lose the management network, HA will cause a failover.

    If you lose the iSCSI, all virtual machines fail, but HA will not switch.

    If you lose VM network, all communications from the virtual computer fail, but HA does not tip over.

    If it was me, HA failover is a better option than full scall VM failure or net VM...

    But now, you will get twelve opinions on which is better.

    Hello! I'm totally new to this great software, and the truth is that I lost D:
     
    I try to explain in more detail what I have to do, I hope you can help me please it is urgent T_T

    I do 3 tables must be related to each other, that is to say a table where a username will be manually enter, another where you manually enter the user name and the third which will automatically enter power of each user (for automatic writing, I'll use random data). Each table will have a box number, for example:
     
    Table 1, box 1: Paul
    Table 2, box 1: door
    Table 3, box 1: 3.74
     
    Table 1, box 2: Miguel
    Table 2, box 2: Ramos
    Table 3, zone 2: 4.99
     
    Table 1, box 3: Maelle
    Table 2, area 3: Branco
    Table 3, case 3: 4.98
     
    I mean, I bind the box to one table with the other three. And because the program must compare the data in table 3 (power) and display the data of the user of best (which has the highest power). In this example, the program should appear:
     
    BEST USER:
    NAME: MIGUEL RAMOS
    POWER: 4.99

    (Is not slender record information when I close the program)

    I don't know if I ask you very much, I have a very clear idea in my head of what I have to do, but being a new software for my not know how to implement it.

    Thank you in advance for your quick response and help and ilustrative! xD

    Have you tried something with the basic understanding of your question check if this is what you need?

    -Still not clear what you mean by table? (In my opinion, the table is 2d array of values here, otherwise please let me know.)

  • Best network design... Need advice on the best use of NIC

    I'm new to the concept of Distributed Switch so I need advice.

    Our current environment is the result of a vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus, but we are just using the standard vSwitch (1 for vMotion/Console and 1 for virtual machines).  When the distributed switch came out, we were warned that a vDSwitch could cause us problems if the server vCenter or database is down.  We could not connect directly to the host and make network changes because the vDSwitch is set in the database.  That's why we stayed with the Standard vSwitch only.

    Our farm is quite small, only 5 hosts but we run around 100 mV in this regard.

    We use currently servers HP DL385 G7, which have 4 cards integrated network, and we have a map of installed NETWORK 4 port card.

    I use the NETWORK 4 EtherChannel ports and trunk card to our virtual machines.

    I am currently using only 1 network card integrated for vMotion and 1 for the Service Console and they all have two of the other defined as secondary.

    This configuration has worked very well for us, but I realize that the latest version of ESXi has some new features that we could use.

    NEW CONFIGURATION

    I'll put up a new vCenter 5 and ESXi 5 environment and I am considering using the switch distributed instead of the usual vSwitch we use.  I'm also eager to take advantage of the multiple NIC vMotion.  All our cards are 10/100/1000 MB capable... No. 10 GigE.

    I think... use that map 4 NETWORK ports for my EtherChannel/trunk for just as our virtual machine before, but this would be set to vDSwitch1

    The mixture of my 4 other integrated ports, it's causing me grief.  Should they be on a standard vSwitch or vDSwitch?  Use 2 ports for vMotion and 2 for the Console?  I really thought to use 3 ports for vMotion and 1 Console port.  I could put the Console port to use one of the vMotion ports such as adapter of standby is... I'm so confused freaking!

    Any recommendations on how I should put up?

    Hello

    Given that you can't split your vmnic for each vSwitch I would recommend either keep configuration simular with the knoweldge if a whole nic fails, you will take a failure or as autumn has already been mentioned on 'Origin Port ID'. Lets do this out and give a little better example

    Current configuration

    vSwitch0

    VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

    VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

    VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

    VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

    vSwitch1

    VMNIC4 - extension PCI NIC - Etherchannel trunk - PortGroup - VMNET

    Extension VMNIC5 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

    Extension VMNIC6 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

    Extension VMNIC7 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

    Now, to captured to eliminate any single point of failure that you could do is break your Etherchannel trunk and back this vSwitch from Port ID and Setup VMNIC2, VMNIC3, VMNIC4, VMNIC5 as vSwitch1 for your VMNET. Then the cable to multiple switches eliminate any single point of faiulre. If your standard configuration would look like this

    vSwitch0

    VMNIC0 - on - Board Service Console

    VMNIC1 - Board - Vmotion

    VMNIC6 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion

    VMNIC7 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion (standby Service Console)

    vSwitch1

    VMNIC2 - VMNET

    VMNIC3 - VMNET

    VMNIC4 - VMNET

    VMNIC5 - VMNET

    So to finish any request for psyhical nics on this particular configuration the Port ID of origin essentially around robins. If during your first VM is online it will be use VMNIC2 and nic forever, until a failure, in which case he will grab the next nic online. When your second VM is online it will use VMNIC3 forever, until a failure and so on. This still will give you around the same way through to as far as networking is concerned. However if you are attached to the trunk, etherchannel 4 GB and can obsorb a failure in case of failure, the network card 4 ports can stay.

    Distributed switching Setup

    Allows you to see how you can switch to distributed switching

    Let's start first of all, you can have EVERYTHING in switches distributed even the service console port if you wish. The resason why some people do not like to do this with the service console port is because IF your database is broken you cannot make any changes to the distributed switch. However it will not prevent a feature to your distributed it switches simply means, you can change them. Also if just getting worse and your DB has been declining for some time and you REALLY need to make a change to the service console port you can go into the console and change back to a standard vSwitch if need be. This allows the said look at some standard configs, you can work

    vSwitch0 (Standard)

    VMNIC0 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

    VMNIC4 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

    vSwitch1 (Standard)

    VMNIC1 - Vmotion

    VMNIC5 - Vmotion

    Distributed switch

    VMNIC2 - VMNET

    VMNIC3 - VMNET

    VMNIC6 - VMNET

    VMNIC7 - VMNET

    Now this config using originating port ID and breaks your etherchannel if you want to keep your configuration with the etherchannel it can look like this

    vSwitch0

    VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

    VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

    VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

    VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

    Distributed switch

    VMNIC4 - VMNET

    VMNIC5 - VMNET

    VMNIC6 - VMNET

    VMNIC7 - VMNET

    Other changes to the configuration may also put the vmotion in distributed witch the VMNET but you would to VLAN, or you could create a second Distributed switch and put it as long as there are 2 network cards. It can go either way. The main advantage of a distributed switch is that it brings all of your settings with you in any host. So trade ect all your VIRTUAL networks is really easy to reproduce if a new host is brought online, all you have to do is to add the new host network cards in the distributed switch and your config is done. With that in mind lets look at the service console. This console is always configured on EACH Setup program that out you of the box if not that you really need to have these parameters transported on several hosts that is another reason why most people just don't. VMotion is up to you, I have seen and configured two ways, it all depends on how simple you want to keep it or think of switching / vlaning / port of groups.

    If you have any questions please let me know, I hope this has helped
