Anybody using autoit on the board? Just been playing with this and can not seem to get it to do much besides log into baan. Just wondering if someone has a sample script they might want to share - either drill down through the menus or maybe to just launch a session using run program.

Thanks

Hi
Found your writing. I'm playing with AutoIt right now. I 'd like to do a lot of reports (~2000), so I wrote a script. My problem is that I cannot find a solution for how to wait until a report is done. I put already sleep inside, but for some records a report runs for a long time, for others ends for a second. But AutoIt does not recognize that a session is still active/working.

Any idea ?

I've been using 'expect' to automate some Baan sessions on UNIX Servers before AFS was available. The idea: When you run Baan in ASCII mode (ba6.1), the data stream from/to the "terminal" can be interpreted and used to control.

The tool 'expect' uses a programming language call 'tcl' (tool command language, read as tickle) which is a bit different to others.

Thx for some ideas. But the point is that we've moved from unix to windows server (and from ORA to SQL). So, different approach now to automating sessions :)
