iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,

Running Multiple Macros at the Same Time

Post by hur.oran » Mon Sep 27, 2021 3:50 am

I need to run two separate macros that do completely different things at the same time. I am planning to buy the "personal" license. How do I run 2 separate macros "a.iim" and "b.iim" at the same time?

I moved your Thread to the 'General' Sub-Forum as it has absolutely nothing specific to the 'Data Extraction' one where you had opened it... :!:
Try to select the "correct" Sub-Forum when you open a Thread, in your own Interest if you want to reach the "correct" Specialists with the relevant Expertise to help you, + this is also "annoying" for (Advanced) Users watching a specific Sub-Forum and receiving a Notification about a New Thread that will be about stg outside of their Expertise... :idea:

>>>

And you would "speed up the Process" if you could read the Forum Rules to include some Tech Info when you open a Thread that "we" (Advanced Users) need, to be able to help you...: :idea:
=> CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig also...)

>>>

But well, to answer your Qt, you can simply run 2 different Macros in 2 separate Instances (= Windows) of your Browser, but some internal Built-in Vars might interfere with each other between the 2 Macros...
=> The "proper" Way then is to run the 2 Macros in 2 separate Browser Profiles (FF/CR), then the 2 Macros will be completely "isolated" from each other, and even the Cookies for a same Site would be "independent"... :idea:
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
