Station Globals in Deployed System

[Adamls]

Hi,

Do StationGlobals get deployed automatically as do other variables?  I'm trying to deploy a system that uses a property loader to load several values into StationGlobals within the "Setup" sequence.  It works fine in the sequence editor but when deployed, a run-time error occurs saying the station global doesn't exist.  Do I need to do something different during deployment?  (I'm using the TS deployment utility and am using a LV operator interface)

Thanks, Adam

Adam,

Station Globals are persisted in disk under <TestStand>\Cfg\StationGlobals.ini

If you include the file in your installer the Station Globals will be deployed.

I hope it helps.

That was exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks Antonio.

BTW, is this sort of thing and other deployment tricks documented anywhere?  Everything I've read doesn't go into detail about the deployment process and proceedures. 

Thanks again,

Adam

Hi Adam,

The best place to look in the TestStand Reference Manual (found inside the TestStand Bookshelf).  Here, Chpater 14 covers Deploying as well as some common deployment situations.  There is also a section in the TestStand Help that discusses deployments and the Deployment Utility.

Thanks,
Caroline
