How to run excel macros using lookout

Hi,
I want use Excel macros for generating custom reports.Is it possible to run macros using run object in lookout
thanks

Hi,
I am pretty sure you can activate macros in Excel using the Run object in Lookout. I can think of two ways you can do this:
1. You can setup your Excel to run macros on startup using the Auto_Activate method. In this case, you will just launch excel with your workbook using the Run object and that should run the macros automatically. No brainer!
2. To better control as to when the macros are run we can assign in Excel some shortcut keys for their launching. We then would need to simulate these keystrokes to launch our macros. This can be done using the SendKeys method and some scripting, WHS Scripting for instance. See this pos
t for a scripting example which simulates Alt+Tab keys to bring-to-front an app.
You will launch the script from the Run object and this in turn launches Excel and then simulates the keys for luanching the appropriate macros. I admit this is kinda involved, but hey it works!
Hope this helps,
Khalid

How to run Excel Macros using JDBC-ODBC

Hi,
I want to run the excel macros in the excel file, after I connected to excel file, using JDBC-ODBC bridge.
How macros treated here?
Help needed please..........
- Ramesh

How to run Excel Macros using JDBC-ODBCYou don't.
As my fuzzy understanding goes.....
Macros (excel, word, etc) run via a "OLE" extension of the script host system.
So the only way to run them is via the OLE interface. That has nothing to do with ODBC. You can write your own JNI to do that, or you might get lucky and find that someone else has written a java library to do it for you.

How to run the job using DBMS_SCHEDULER

How to run the job using DBMS_SCHEDULER
pleas give some sample Iam very new to DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi
DBMS_SCHEDULER
In Oracle 10g the DBMS_JOB package is replaced by the DBMS_SCHEDULER package. The DBMS_JOB package is now depricated and in Oracle 10g it's only provided for backward compatibility. From Oracle 10g the DBMS_JOB package should not be used any more, because is could not exist in a future version of Oracle.
With DBMS_SCHEDULER Oracle procedures and functions can be executed. Also binary and shell-scripts can be scheduled.
Rights
If you have DBA rights you can do all the scheduling. For administering job scheduling you need the privileges belonging to the SCHEDULER_ADMIN role. To create and run jobs in your own schedule you need the 'CREATE JOB' privilege.
With DBMS_JOB you needed to set an initialization parameter to start a job coordinator background process. With Oracle 10g DBMS_SCHEDULER this is not needed any more.
If you want to user resource plans and/or consumer groups you need to set a system parameter:
ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE;
Baisc Parts: Job
A job instructs the scheduler to run a specific program at a specific time on a specific date.
Programs
A program contains the code (or reference to the code ) that needs to be run to accomplish a task. It also contains parameters that should be passed to the program at runtime. And it?s an independent object that can referenced by many jobs
Schedules
A schedule contains a start date, an optional end date, and repeat interval with these elements; an execution schedule can be calculated.
Windows
A window identifies a recurring block of time during which a specific resource plan should be enabled to govern resource allocation for the database.
Job groups
A job group is a logical method of classifying jobs with similar characteristics.
Window groups
A window groups is a logical method of grouping windows. They simplify the management of windows by allowing the members of the group to be manipulated as one object. Unlike job groups, window groups don?t set default characteristics for windows that belong to the group.
Using Job Scheduler
SQL> drop table emp;
SQL> Create table emp (eno int, esal int);
SQL > begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name => 'test_abc',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'update emp set esal=esal*10 ;',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY; INTERVAL=10',
comments => 'Iam tesing scheduler');
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Verification
To verify that job was created, the DBA | ALL | USER_SCHEDULER_JOBS view can be queried.
SQL> select job_name,enabled,run_count from user_scheduler_jobs;
JOB_NAME ENABL RUN_COUNT
TEST_abc FALSE 0
Note :
As you can see from the results, the job was indeed created, but is not enabled because the ENABLE attribute was not explicitly set in the CREATE_JOB procedure.
Run your job
SQL> begin
2 dbms_scheduler.run_job('TEST_abc',TRUE);
3* end;
SQL> /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select job_name,enabled,run_count from user_scheduler_jobs;
JOB_NAME ENABL RUN_COUNT
TEST_ABC FALSE 0
Copying Jobs
SQL> begin
2 dbms_scheduler.copy_job('TEST_ABC','NEW_TEST_ABC');
3 END;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. Hope it will help you upto some level..!!

Running Excel macros from ABAP

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic

How to run the Macro in RTF

Hi Tim,
Do you know how to run the WORD macro in RTF?
Suppose I want to run the macro for Section Break, Is there any way we can call it using WORD Macro.
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks,
Ambadas

Hi Ambadas
Now, Im not entirely sure what you mena by:
'Do you know how to run the WORD macro in RTF?'
Are you looking to run a macro to create a section break for you during the design of the template? - you can do this.
Or do you want to embed a macro in the RTF output - you can not do this - RTF does not support macros.
Please explain further.
Regards, Tim

How to call excel macros in ODI

Hi gurus,
I am new In ODI please help me with this. i want to store sheet name of excel file in a variable.I have written a macro function for this please help me how to call that macro function in ODI
Thanks & regards

this are my thoughts ,since you will have to deal with multiple files and read multiple sheets . While dealing with Excel ,we have to deal with DSN and so multiple Excel can a be a little complex.
I think we can make use of your macro function by calling via VB and once you find the correct value write a in separate txt File. Now this File can be called in ODI and read and processed as you wish to .
Step 1. Call your Macro Function via VB
Step 2. Call this VB program via OS Command, which write to a separate file.
Step 3. Call this variable and read from the file via this methods http://odiexperts.com/?p=243 , http://odiexperts.com/?p=273.
Does this helps you .

How to access excel(macros defined) in Infoview?

Hi All,
Can anyone help me out to know how to view Excel with Macros in Infoview.
Regards,
Anisa

Hi,
So you mean to say, I just need to use the ConnectionManager.getConnection() method. It requires a pool connection name. Do I specify the same pool name as in the connectionmanager.xml config file ? And that will do it ? Please clarify. Following is a code snippet. Please verify if this is correct.
Connection conn = null;
try
conn = ConnectionManager.getConnection(poolname);
if(conn == null) {
throw new IOException("No such connection found");

Running Excel macro to format sheet from Labview?

Hey, thanks in advance.
I am trying to put together a VI that can run a macro in Excel. The macro I recorded simply formats some of the cells to be bold, sets the widths/heigths, merges some cells, adds some border, etc. I have been trying to piece together a bunch of examples from the discussion forum, from LV, etc. for doing this with ActiveX. I'm really starting to bang my head on the desk... all I need to do is make all the data my program sends to Excel pretty without having the operator (or supervisor) have to do this manually.
Does anyone have an example of a program that opens a file based on an extension you give it, runs a macro, then closes the file? Or other suggestions for doing this?
All the other examples I've looked at are different enough that I just can't make it work.
Thanks a million!

Well adam welcome to the world of active x. One trick I have learned with using it is when I want to do something in the program that uses macros (ie word, excel.) then what I do is create the macro and look at the code, then I will usually duplicate the code in labview using invoke and property nodes just because I do it that way does not mean it is the best way. I do it this way so I do not have to worry about someone deleting the macro. But running the macro is not trivial if you decide to go that route. Here are a bunch of vi's that will help you out.Message Edited by jhoskins on 04-27-2005 09:00 AM

How to run Excel 2013 in MDI rather than SDI

Greetings All,
I am interested in knowing how to make all my excel documents open in one window like the Excel 2010 did in Excel 2013. I understand that SDI is the new way of opening documents for the ease of looking at documents with multiple windows, however, there
are those of us who prefer it all in one window.
Please fill me in on how to set that up by default for my Excel.
Thank you.

Windows button + R andtype "Excel /x" to run Excel in another instance.
Cheers,
