Scheduling a macro rom another scheduler

Post by FrankKelly » Wed Feb 26, 2003 11:45 am

I am trying to schedule a macro from another scheduler

When I use the following commands from the windows run prompt it works ok.

"C:\Program Files\Macro Scheduler\msched.exe" frank
"C:\Program Files\Macro Scheduler\msched.exe" "C:\Program Files\Macro Scheduler\frank.scp"

When I run this command from my company scheduler it loads
Macro Scheduler but then comes up with the message:

"macro in the command line does not exist"

Have you any thoughts on how to pass the macro name accross via a third party scheduler

Hi,

Your syntax is correct, so you must be entering it wrongly into your scheduler, or the scheduler expects a specific format - perhaps you have to enter the executable and parameters separately. Dunno, can't help without knowing about your scheduler. Sounds like a support issue for the scheduler, rather than a Macro Scheduler support issue.

Thanks or the fast reply

I put this command string into a .bat file and stored in in my root directory.

It worked ok.

"C:\Program Files\Macro Scheduler\msched" FRANK

yes - frank is the name of the .scp file I am playing with
