Reporting pass/fail information from threads in Teststand logs

[kerugoya]

I am fairly new to Teststand.  I am just getting started on threading techniques in TestStand. Previously, task A and B were running sequentially. To improve program run time, I am splitting the tasks into thread A and thread B.  In the sequential version of the program, task B is running certain steps and logging to a Teststand log file.  After I split the tasks into their threads, thread B does not perform the logging feature.  Before the thread split, task B would log each error using
RunState.Step.Result.ReportText feature.   This logging thread is the last step before thread A and B rendezvous.  How do
I enable the logging in Teststand for thread B?

You need to add a Wait step for the new thread.  It will get added to the report if you are waiting on that thread.

So, this is my program structure :

1. Create Rendez-vous object

2.  Split main program into Thread A and B

3.  Rendez vous point for A and B

Should I modify the rendez-vous point as a wait step? Or should I add a wait statement after Rendez Vous point?

I'm not sure if you need the rondezvous or not without knowing your program design.  It may not be neccessary.  Any sequence call that calls into a new thread will need a Wait step if you want if you want it in the report.  It sounds like you don't need the rendezvous without knowing any more information.
