When a process includes multiple SAP apps, you can create an end-to-end solution by using linked scripts.
Run settings
When running linked scripts, a dialog box message appears when you perform the following actions:
- Run
- Validate
The dialog box messages will not appear in Macro or Command Line runs.
The dialog box message notes the fact that certain run settings can lead to inaccurate results. In linked scripts, script metadata/type is viewable only in the first script of a chain.
Create a chain script
- Open the script that will run first in the chain.
- Click Chain Scripts.
- Click Add, browse to the script you want, and then click
Open.
Repeat for each script that you want to add to the chain. Only GUI for HTML scripts can be added.
Use the up and down arrows to change the order of the scripts. All from individual script is the default setting.
Each script will use its existing Start Row, End Row, Sheet, and Data file settings.
Note: The Save Data File setting in Studio Options do not apply to chained scripts. The data file is saved after each script runs.
Running in Background Mode
If one or more of the linked scripts is associated with an Excel data file, the script will run in Background Mode. This means that the script will run in a separate instance of Excel.
