Header does not get modified when on the fly optione enabled.

[Sury@]

I tired to modify the report header by using callback & it did work fine when i am generating the report by keeping the 'on the fly report' option disabled. When i try run the same sequence with 'on the fly report option' enabled i do not see the header information which i was able to see when 'on the fly' option is disabled. I did search for the cause and found the following link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/05F43468942BE32E86256D980074E200 but it did not work fine. I was not able to figure out the reason for not showing  up the header information when ' on the fly ' option enabled.

kpraveen,

I looked at the files attached to that KnowledgeBase, and saw that they were modified versions of the files that shipped with TestStand 3.0.  Because we have made some changes to those files since that version, there is no guarantee that they will work with the most current version of TestStand.

If you need this behavior in a newer version, you can modify the reportgen_ sequence files yourself.  You will need to create the modifyheader and modifyfooter sequences in thost sequence files and then call those sequences from the Process OTF result sequence.  We are working on a more detailed set of instructions, and I will post here when they are available.

Thanks for the reply. This was the solution which i was expecting and i got it by changing the reportgen_xml.seq where on the fly callback is called.

kpraveen,

The KnowledgeBase you referenced above: ModifyReportHeader and ModifyReportFooter Callbacks Not Called When the On-The-Fly Reporting Option ... has been updated.

It now includes a set of files that can be used with TestStand 4.0, and has instructions for how to modify your sequence files for any version to have this capability.  Hope this helps!

Is there update steps for TestStand 4.2?  I'm running into the exact same problem.  Thanks in advance.

Hello,

There are steps in the article below that explain how to modify the shipped .seq files on your machine to modify the behavior.  Have you tried following them?
