Run macro in Active Session

This question is similar to others in the forum, but none seem answer the obvious. If I have sessions ABC1 and ABC2, the last one opened ABC2 is always the active one.

If I run the following macro from ABC1 it only runs in ABC2 !

How do I get macro to run from the session where I use Tools/Macro/Run ?

I would have thought this code line would set it all up correctly ?

Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' This macro was created by the Macro Recorder.
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Global variable declarations
Global g_HostSettleTime%

Sub Main()
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Get the main system object
Dim Sessions As Object
Dim System As Object
Set System = CreateObject("EXTRA.System") ' Gets the system object
If (System is Nothing) Then
Msgbox "Could not create the EXTRA System object. Stopping macro playback."
STOP
End If
Set Sessions = System.Sessions

If (Sessions is Nothing) Then
Msgbox "Could not create the Sessions collection object. Stopping macro playback."
STOP
End If
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Set the default wait timeout value
g_HostSettleTime = 1000 ' milliseconds

OldSystemTimeout& = System.TimeoutValue
If (g_HostSettleTime > OldSystemTimeout) Then
System.TimeoutValue = g_HostSettleTime
End If

' Get the necessary Session Object
Dim Sess0 As Object
Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
If (Sess0 is Nothing) Then
Msgbox "Could not create the Session object. Stopping macro playback."
STOP
End If
If Not Sess0.Visible Then Sess0.Visible = TRUE
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)

' This section of code contains the recorded events
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("<Clear>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("ZOLDR DI L *<Enter>")

System.TimeoutValue = OldSystemTimeout
End Sub

 



hi,

Check out my code in thread1-1651787

Skip,

[glasses]Just traded in my old subtlety...
for a NUANCE![tongue][/sub]
 
Actually I think the solution to this is the old "Have you tried switching it on and off ?"
While trying to figure this out, I found the following thread as well.


It seems that sometimetimes the following does not work:
Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
And the only solution is to shut down all sessions and reboot.

Another way to test if you need a reboot is to start the offending session and see if you can run any macro. If you get the "Could not create the Session object. Stopping macro playback." then try a reboot.
Then start each session and run a macro before starting the next session. This will make sure System.ActiveSession is working.
