To run a script by using a macro, create the macro in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  1. Open the data file that is associated with the script that you want to run.
    Note:

    Be sure that you are using a macro-enabled, or .xlsm, file.

  2. Press Alt+F11.
  3. In the VBA Editor, under Microsoft Excel Objects, double-click the sheet that contains the data you want to run.
  4. Copy and paste the code below into the window.
  5. Replace the data file path, script file path, sheet name, and auto logon name below with the information for your files and your auto logon name.
  6. Click Save and then close the VBA Editor.
  7. In Excel, click the View tab, and then click Macros.
  8. Click the macro that you want to run, and then click Run.
Note:

Notes: Be sure that the Excel Add-in is not active (that you are not logged on to Connect).

Asynchronous macro runs are supported.

Transaction macros

Run a published script

  1. Define Addin objects.

    Dim StudioMacrosAddin, StudioMacros

  2. Get Addin object from Excel.

    Set StudioMacrosAddin = Application.COMAddIns.Item("WinshuttleStudioMacros.AddinModule")

  3. Get COM object from Addin object.

    Set StudioMacros = StudioMacrosAddin.Object.Macros

  4. Select the published file to run, and define other run properties (see Properties for a Transaction Addin object).

    Dim StudioMacros.PublishedFile = "MM02_MacroTest"

  5. Open the published script.

    StudioMacros.OpenPublishedScript

  6. Run AddinObject to run script.

    StudioMacros.RunScript

Run an existing Transaction script

  1. Define Addin objects.

    Dim StudioMacrosAddin, StudioMacros

  2. Get Addin object from Excel.

    Set StudioMacrosAddin = Application.COMAddIns.Item("WinshuttleStudioMacros.AddinModule")

  3. Get COM object from Addin object.

    Set StudioMacros = StudioMacrosAddin.Object.Macros

  4. Select the Transaction script to run, and define other run properties (see Properties for a Transaction Addin object).

    The following is for running the solution locally: Dim strShuttleFile = "C:\Users\Normal_Tx_Macro.txr" The following is for running the solution from Evolve: StudioMacros.LibraryName = "Transaction" Set to Solution Name for solutions submitted from Evolve. strShuttleFile = "MM02"

  5. Open the script to Run.

    StudioMacros.OpenScript (strShuttleFile)

  6. Run AddinObject to run script.

    StudioMacros.RunScript

Note:

In case of chain scripts with "All from individual" settings, when the user uses a macro to run the script on SAP Trust type SAP server, the SAP logon dialog appears for each script. This can be handled by using the parameter "StudioMacros.UseSameSAPServerForChain = True" in the macro code so that the SAP session of the first script gets used for all the subsequent chain scripts.

Properties for a Transaction Add-in object

Run settings or Advance Run Options set in the script are not respected during the Macro run. These need to be set via the various properties that have been exposed for the Add-in object.

Known issues

  1. Macros that were created in Transaction or Query v10.x are not automatically converted to the Studio 20.3 format. Macros in Studio 20.3 format are not compatible with v10.x. To run, the macros must be manually converted.
  2. While you are using macros, the Automate Add-ins should not be loaded (you should not be logged on to Evolve/Studio Manager). The Automate Add-ins can be enabled.
  3. Start Row is always 2 unless you specify a different row.
  4. RunSelectedRows and RunFilteredRows are mutually exclusive options. The script will use the one that is set last.
  5. Data files must not use the Data Review workflow to be executed by using macros in Evolve/Studio Manager mode.
  6. Save to Evolve/Studio Manager will not work when a macro is used to run the data file in Evolve/Studio Manager mode.
