Greetings! I am a beginner here.  I have searched the website best I can, but I have not found anything as specific as I really need it. I'm not certain which references I need to check off to make a connection, and I'm not certain of a good template of VBA code to initiate that connection. My goal is simply to take strings from RUMBA and value them to cells in excel, and vice versa. I'd also like to send keystrokes to RUMBA using my excel VBA macro. I typically perform tasks with multiple RUMBA sessions open (let's say API session A, API session B, API session C, and API session D) How do I ensure my VBA macro is communicating with a specified session?#Rumbasession#Windows10#rumba10#Automation#Rumba+Desktop10.1#API#ExcelorVBACode#Excel#Rumba#WIN10#Vba

I am trying to create a shortcut to run a login script/Macro to start Rumba+ Desktop 10.1 and start the mainframe session.

I have an Extra! Basic macro that calls a VB script to take a screenshot.  I would prefer to have all functions contained in the macro and not make outside calls to a VB script.  The first two billets below are how it currently functions and the third is my failed attempted to eliminate the additional file. How can I embed VBS code into Extra Basic, or better yet, is there a more efficient way to take a screen shot within Extra Basic? I know screen shots are not the best way to grab data but that’s what has been requested of me. Extra Basic call:      Call Shell("Explorer.exe ""c:\\screenShot.vbs")  screenShot.vbs:                  Set Wshshell=CreateObject("Word.Basic")                WshShell.AppActivate "AppName"                WshShell.sendkeys"%{prtsc}"               

A "Transfer failed: ***" error appears at the start of a file transfer when running Buffered Field IND$FILE transfer in a Reflection Desktop Host session.  Structured Field IND$FILE works correctly in Reflection Desktop.  The error dialog pops up when the Reflection Desktop Session attempts a Buffered Field IND$File transfer and the host sends a screen which contains "***".

Rumba 10.2 and 10.1 SP1 AS400 Secure File Transfer Enhancement Secure connections are now available for the Rumba AS400 File Transfer application in Rumba 10.2.  You can also obtain the enhancement for Rumba 10.1 SP1 by contacting Customer Support and requesting the latest hotfix for 10.1. After applying the hotfix for 10.1 SP1 or upgrading to Rumba 10.2, launch AS400 File transfer and under Connection/Configure, note the AS400 Communications GUI now allows you to configure Security like a Rumba session:   Click the  “Configure…”  button and you will be able to choose SSL/TLS, and enable any of the server certificate authentication parameters if they are required by your AS400.   In order to make a secure connection, the AS400 Host Servers (Database Server) must have a certificate assigned to them.  Please see this document from IBM for more detail on setting up the AS400: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/configuring-ssl-telnet-and-host-servers-server-aut

You can remove commands from the menus using the Security Editor. You can disable buttons on toolbars and QuickPads, and disable keys on keyboard maps. For example, you can remove the New Session option from the File menu to prevent users from creating a new session. These changes are stored in a Scheme file (.ESF). This file can be password protected and then distributed to users on your network. Security can then be enforced by making the security scheme file read-only.#HowTo-BestPractice#Extra!

Yes, the installation process can completely roll back when installing Rumba+ in any configuration using the Setup wizard. It undoes every operation it performs during an installation, modification, repair, or removal. This is particularly helpful if you encounter a fatal error during an installer session. The computer can return to its previous state before the installer session. This includes restoring deleted or overwritten files, registry keys, and other resources.  Note: You cannot roll back a completed Rumba+ installation; you must uninstall the program to remove it.  #Other#Rumba

When configuring a Mainframe or AS400 session, you can specify a specific device name that is generated from system variables, formats and descriptions.  A device name can be a maximum of 10 characters in length and consist of any combination of variable and literal values. Each non-literal value can be qualified by a numerical parameter (appended to the device name as an integer) specifying the number or sequence of characters to use. Example:            DSP[autonum:4] Where DSP is a literal value, [autonum] represents a sequence number, and 4 the number of digits in the sequence. In this scenario, if a user opens two concurrent sessions, the device names would be "DSP0001" and "DSP0002." (The sequential number is per client machine. If a second user starts another session on a different machine, the device name would also start at "DSP0001"). Example:            [%USERNAME%:-7] Wh

I have far too many little macros in separate files and run by toolbar buttons.   I would like to add them all to one macro file and pass a variable in choosing the appropriate macro function to run.   Below is what I would like to do but PHP flavored.

Passed in like: url.php?picMacro=2 <?php$picMacro =  $_GET['name']; switch ($.picMacro) {  case "1":    macroFunction1();    break;  case "2":    macroFunction2();    break;  case "3":    macroFunction3();    break;  default:   someFunction();}?>#Macro#toolbar#Extra!#MainframeAccess#Extra

Hello everyone, I automated some workflows in Rumba using the HLLAPI. This includes Mainframe sessions, but also Unix sessions.Some time ago there was a switch from Rumba 9.5 to Rumba 10.1. Now I have the problem that reading the screen from the UNIX sessions no longer works correctly. This affects both function 5 (Copy Presentation Space) and function 8 (Copy Presentation Space to String). The Mainframe sessions are not affected, everything continues to work as usual. Description of the issue:The size of the presentation screen is 80x24. In total there are 1920 positions on the screen. By calling function 5 I expect to be able to read the entire screen (1920 characters). As already mentioned, this works without any problems in the mainframe sessions with the current Rumba version 10.1. However, if the same function is called for the Unix sessions, I don't get all 24 lines with 80 characters each, but 7.5 lines with 256 characters each. However, since the actual line length is only 80,

Hi, We are about to replace a server but discovered that we are running Reflection for the Web  on it.The server is to be replaced before end of year but the system it's catering for is not to be replaced until end of 2023.Our problem now is that the company that seem to have helped us installed this some years ago is no longer around, we cannot find any installation files and no one knows the admin password(s). After digging through old e-mail we found that we had VPA 110886 under our former name Berendsen Sourcing but no one within the company knows if this is still valid. Is there any way of moving this installation to a new server or are we forced to buy a new version of the software in order to keep the service running until the end of next year? Any suggestions are appreciated? BrgdsHans ThimellIT-TechnicianElis Design & Supply Chain Center#Reflection
