Re: what is the purpose of RUN Macro option
It used to be sort of extensively used in the earlier days for things like passing values from one form to another before actions like open window with modes like display, search were not available. With a lot more available actions, the scope of Run Macro has become a little more limted in post ARS 5 versions. It still is however useful in some situations for replicating sequential keystrokes as a single action. Like Sandeep pointed out however, this action is not available on the web so if defined in your worklfow, your workflow 'will work' without throwing an error or an exception, but you will notice that the web client failed to perfom it. It will just attempt to perfom the next action in queue by skipping the macro action. If your next action is dependent on the results of your macro action, your workflow will fail..

Re: i want to run macro on the basis of windows schduler
We do this in our environment to automate some reporting for our users. We have a bat file that calls runmacro.exe and the desired arq file. Then we call an excel macro to format the data.

Run Macro
** Hi everybody,I am opening an active link and there is a Run Macro action in it. I am not familiar with Run Macro action and all I see is the name of the macro and Parameter Name which is "%" and Value which is $SERVER$. I want to see what is in the macro so I can make modifications. How can I see what is in the macro? Also is it possible for me to see macros created by other developers or admins? I greatly will appreciate your help!! Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less. __20060125___This posting was submitted with HTML in it___
Re: Run Macro
** Addis With the al open. Click on save to disk. Then open with any text editor. If you want to manually edit the macro. Go up to the developers section on remedy and get the macro editor. It is pretty useful Herb -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Addis Solomon Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 10:30 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Run Macro ** Hi everybody, I am opening an active link and there is a Run Macro action in it.

Re: Run Macro
You can use Save To Disk to save a copy to your hard drive, then use an editor to open it (e.g. Notepad). If you update it, you'll need to re-attach it to your Active Link (select using Macro Name pull-down; Modify Action, etc.). You can see macros created by others, but you need to know where they are. If they're executed via Active Link Run Macro actions, like the one you described, the above method works fine. Users can create their own macros, though, and store them in any directory they have permission and access to. (.arq files). Macros aren't easily translated. Search criteria is pretty straightforward, but more complex macros can be difficult to follow. They really weren't made for editing, more for re-recording (although you need to understand what it did in the first place). Before you spend too much effort, you may want to consider moving the function(s) to Active Link or Filter actions. Much easier to manage. You didn't specify what ARS release you're running, but if it's ARS 6.0 or later, there isn't much you need macros for.
