Startup Multiple Sessions

[link99sbc]

Find Session1 or whatever your session names are, usually in
C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Sessions\Session1.edp
Right Click on it and choose Send to - then Desktop, which creates
a shortcut on the desktop if you don't already have one. I drag the
shortcut from the desktop to my windows tool bar so it's always handy.
Next, Edit Session1.edp in the Sessions Folder.
Right click and choose "open with" and choose
"Macro Editor application". You may have to search for it.

After you open Session1.edp look for the StartupScript line under
[Session]
StartupScript=

Enter C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm
Should look like:
StartupScript=C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm
'or wherever your macros are
'This calls macro Session1.ebm

Save the file and close.

Create macro Session1 as you would any other macro.
It has to be in the same path as the StartupScript.
i.e. C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm

' Global variable declarations
Global g_HostSettleTime%
Global g_szPassword$

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

' All of the sendkeys should match however you navigate
' once the session is started. (i.e. navigating through
' startup screens.
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("<Enter>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("<Pa1>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("8<Enter>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("2<Enter>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
pause 1
'Optional
Use a password box if you if you have security issues.
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("YourLogin Your Password<Enter>")

Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys("myscreenname<Enter>")
Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)


Sendkeys "%FOSession2" 'THIS FIRES UP Session2 which calls the Session2 Macro "and so on"
Sendkeys "{Enter}"

System.TimeoutValue = OldSystemTimeout
End Sub

Each Session.edp needs to be edited "StartupScript=" to point to the Session.ebm Macro
Use whatever your Session names are.
Once you click on your shortcut to session1 all the other sessions will fire up one right after the other.
I use 4 Sessions so each session calls the the next one.

oops
replace
Enter C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm
Should look like:
StartupScript=C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm

with

Enter C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Sessions\Session1.ebm
Should look like:
StartupScript=C:\Program files\Attachmate\Sessions\Session1.ebm

Never mind I had it right the first time.

Enter C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm
Should look like:
StartupScript=C:\Program \files\Attachmate\Macros\Session1.ebm
