Hi,

I am starting work on an application and was planning on using the UIP AB
v2.0.

I see in the documentation that the UIP supports Chaining and Nesting of
tasks. However I need to be able to run two tasks concurrently.

ex: User working in the main task and they scheduled/start a test. While
waiting for the test to run/complete, they should be able to launch into a
task to generate a historical report.

Is this possible or will I have to make my main task into a non-UIP form to
allow for launching the report task?

Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,

Currently UIP only support two ways: chaining and nesting. From your
description, I suggest you may consider modify the nesting mode. For
example, the main task start a thread to do the test, and a new task for
reporting. Is this a possible solution for the problem?

Luke,

For performance reasons, I was already thinking of using a worker thread to
perform the actual testing but I need the main test view to stay open to
show progress and allow the user to cancel the test. While this is happening
I want to allow the user to start a separate task to do some reporting.

I was playing around with the MultiNavGraph quick start and saw that this is
supported. All I have to do is configure my main testing view as a stayOpen
view and not call SuspendTask or CompleteTask.

Thanks for the help.

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the share. A stayOpen Veiw indeed can resolve the problem.
