  • 1.  Run Windows Script

    Posted Fri May 13, 2022 09:33 AM
    Hello everyone,

    Is there a working example using this activity? I've tried it with vb script to resize image with no success. I'll be grateful if anyone provides me with knowledge on this. Thank you!

    Regards,

    Posted Tue June 28, 2022 10:34 AM
    Hello Stefan,

    The runWindowsScript command uses this resource cscript to work.

    I have some examples of how I use the command.

    JavaScript

    defVar --name exitCode --type Numeric
defVar --name output --type String
defVar --name error --type String
runWindowsScript --scripttype "JScript" --source "Text" --script "var actions = [\r\n      \"Brazil\"\r\n    , \"United States\"\r\n    , \"Italy\"\r\n];\r\nvar actions_id = Math.floor(Math.random() * actions.length);\r\nmsg = actions[actions_id];\r\nWScript.Echo(msg);" --blockexecution  exitCode=exitcode output=output error=error
trimString --text "${output}" --trimoption "TrimEnd" output=value
logMessage --message "Output Random [${output}]" --type "Info"


    Visual Basic - How to get a return of the command 

    defVar --name exit --type Numeric
defVar --name output --type String
defVar --name error --type String

runWindowsScript --scripttype "VBScript" --source "Text" --script "WScript.Echo \"IBM RPA\"\r\nWScript.StdOut.Write \"IBM \"\r\nWScript.StdOut.WriteLine \"RDA\"" --blockexecution  exit=exitcode output=output error=error
logMessage --message " ${output}" --type "Info"

runWindowsScript --scripttype "VBScript" --source "Text" --script "Dim StdOut : Set StdOut = CreateObject(\"Scripting.FileSystemObject\").GetStandardStream(1)\r\n\r\nStdout.WriteLine \"IBM Process\"\r\nStdout.Write \"IBM Workflow\"" --blockexecution  exit=exitcode output=output error=error
logMessage --message "${output}" --type "Info"


    Visual Basic - logging into SAP GUI

    defVar --name mySAP --type Window
defVar --name sucesso --type Boolean
defVar --name exitCode --type Numeric
defVar --name output --type String
defVar --name error --type String
findWindow --id "wnd[0]" --classname GuiMainWindow --processname saplogon --comment "SAP Easy Access" mySAP=value sucesso=success
focusWindow --window ${mySAP}
runWindowsScript --scripttype "VBScript" --source "Text" --script "If Not IsObject(application) Then\r\n   Set SapGuiAuto  = GetObject(\"SAPGUI\")\r\n   Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine\r\nEnd If\r\nIf Not IsObject(connection) Then\r\n   Set connection = application.Children(0)\r\nEnd If\r\nIf Not IsObject(session) Then\r\n   Set session    = connection.Children(0)\r\nEnd If\r\nIf IsObject(WScript) Then\r\n   WScript.ConnectObject session,     \"on\"\r\n   WScript.ConnectObject application, \"on\"\r\nEnd If\r\nsession.findById(\"wnd[0]\").maximize\r\nsession.findById(\"wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-BNAME\").text = \"user\"\r\nsession.findById(\"wnd[0]/usr/pwdRSYST-BCODE\").text = \"pass\"\r\nsession.findById(\"wnd[0]\").sendVKey 0" --blockexecution  exitCode=exitcode output=output error=error
logMessage --message "\r\nExitCode: ${exitCode}\r\nOutput: ${output}\r\nError: ${error}" --type "Info"


    I hope it helps.
