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,
The Progress Team

iMacros.Sidebar -macro in Personal Edition not running macro

Post by codefreak » Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:30 pm

Hi everyone,
I'm playing around with my new Personal Edition software.
I am trying to run a demo batch file with
"C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\iMacros\iMacros.Sidebar.exe" -macro "C:\Users\me\Documents\iMacros\Macros\Demo\FillForm.iim"

It only opens the macro side bar.

EDIT:

I need the $500 to get the Professional Version to automate from the command line.

Try with 'imacros.exe' instead of the 'iMacros.Sidebar.exe' part... :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...

"C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\iMacros\iMacros.exe" -macro "C:\Users\trish\Documents\iMacros\Macros\Demo\FillForm.iim"

just sits there and exits.

there is no imacros.exe with small case m,

OK, then I don't know, I was just telling you the Syntax as it is documented in the 'Command Line Interface and Batch Files' Section in the Wiki, but I've never used iMB, only the Free Add-on (mostly for FF), so I cannot test for you... :oops:
