iadsUpdate Format

[Dan]

I'm trying to develop a process by which I can monitor changes to the configuration (ParameterDefaults Table and Envelopes) and overwrite it if changes have been made.  I was excited to learn about the Config Update Wizard that would highlight changes in the conflict dialog during import however the Wizard wants an iadsUpdate file extension and I can't find any info about it's format.  I've looked through the help and searched the forum and it seems that it comes from an "IADS Developer".  Is the format of the iadsUpdate file available to end users?  If not, I'm guessing I won't be able to use the Configuration Update Wizard and I'll have to use the CSV import instead.  The CSV method would work but it would have been nice to see if any changes were made.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,

Depending on the type of import different file types are accepted in the Advanced Import Wizard.

Desktop Import *.iadsDt

Analysis Window Import *.iadsAw

Configuration Update *.iadsUpdate (Used by IADS Developers generally for unique config modifications)

 

Depending on the scope of changes either just the offending Analysis window can be selected or a complete Desktop.

Upon importing with the wizard you will be prompted with the option to keep or replace changes to the config.

 

1.       Export old window from old analysis window. (this will include display objects, parameters, envelopes etc.)

2.       Import with Advanced Wizard to new configuration.

3.       Select how to treat differences with the Manage Conflicts window.

4.       Save new config with changes.

 

I hope this clears it up.

Hello all,

I'm in the process of writing an application that uses the IADS
automation interface to retrieve aperiodic blob data via the IParameter
interface.

I want to start at the earliest time that the parameter has data so I
use the following code to set it up:

IParameter *ip = m_IadsApp.Configuration.CreateParameter("someblob");

ip.CurrentTime = ip.StartTime; // This call returns E_FAIL

Should this fail???

If I set it to the StartTime + 1 second it works:

**** This is complete sudo code ****

totalSecs = ip.StartTime.GetTotalSecs();
ip.CurrentTime.PutTime(totalSecs+1); // This works fine

Thanks,
Greg

This looks correct but it may be a current limitation of the API on how the
blob is being processed.
Is this an aperiodic parameter?

We'll look into this further.

Hello all,

Should this fail???

Yep, it's aperiodic (and blob).

Greg, can you zip up and send us that data file (and associated index file)
via private email?

We'll debug it,
Jim

On its way. Thanks for looking at it.
