How to suppress Multiple Sessions of Impromptu

[ice76]

Hi,

Each time when I run a macro in Impromptu 6 or 7, it will activate another session of impromptu. So if I run 3 macros, I will be having 3 windows of impromptu. How do I suppress the multiple sessions? I believe Impromptu 5 does not have this problem. Please kindly enlighten me. Thanks.

Regards
Clarence.

Clarence,
You could either script your macros to close the session of impromptu, with a command like objImpApp.Quit (assuming your Impromptu object is labelled objImp)

or,

if you use windows and have admin rights, you can use the command prompt (Start, Run) to set a single session:
Ensure that you have administrative rights on the machine when doing the following steps:

"x:\Program Files\Cognos\cer#\bin\ImpAdmin.exe" /si

to revert to multiple sessions:
"x:\Program Files\Cognos\cer#\bin\ImpAdmin.exe" /mi

# is a number 1, 2 or 3, depending on your version of impromptu.
