Unique ID for each Test Execution from TestUUT level

[Ajay_MV]

I'm looking for unique ID for each time when TestUUT is executed. 

I could find ID for

• each test sockets using RunState.TestSocket.MyIndex,
• each UUT uses its own serial number as ID,
• each Step Unique ID

But I'm looking for still top-level ID, i.e., ID of each run/execution of the sequence.  Is there any such?

Thanks

Ajay.

How about Execution.Id or Thread.Id?

[Ajay_MV]

I used RunState.Execution.UniqueID and it always gives the same ID how many ever times I run the sequence again.  It changes only after I restart the Teststand.

I believe thread ID would also be less helpful, I expect there could be numerous threads that could invoke under a single run.  I will give it a try, do you know where I can find it?  Is it in RunState.xxx.xxx like?

You can get it in many ways. See diagram: https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052AA-01/tsapiref/infotopics/teststand_api/

But normally you will get it from Execution (here you also have many options): https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052AA-01/tsapiref/reftopics/execution/

I think you meant Execution.Id. Yes, this behavior is expected. But if you want some different ID each time you start execution, combine Execution.SecondsAtStart with Execution.Id: Str(RunState.Execution.Id) + Str(RunState.Execution.SecondsAtStart*10000000)

@bienieck Thanks for feedback Both Execution.Id and SecondsAtStart are not unique between the test sockets as in the screenshots below.   I'm looking for an ID which never changes between test sockets but is unique for each TestUUTs entry point execution.

[bienieck]

Can't you use socket execution id? It should be unique. Combine it with timestamp and it's done.

Or maybe generate GUID using .NET when new socket execution starts and save it as execution runtime variable.
