    Hi Arnov,

    It is not best practice to call an Automation Script from another Automation Script as there is no automation script hierarchy or associated to field in the application, but if this is not a consideration the script to achieve this is

     

     

    scriptName = "autoscript = 'TEST1'"

     

    scriptMbos = mbo.getMboSet("$scripts", "AUTOSCRIPT", scriptName)

    scriptMbo = scriptMbos.getMbo(0)

    script = scriptMbo.getString("SOURCE")

    exec (script)

     

    I am happy to be contacted on paula.lloyd@macs.eu if you need further assistance.

    Hi Arnov,

    If the launch point of the script you want to call is of type "Action Launch Point", you can call that action from another script using this approach:

    Hope that helps!
