David, One of the great features of runmacro is you can export all fields from a form without needing a template (or anything other than the form name and credentials for that matter).
I still use a little AR app I created years ago that does a table loop and calls runmacro to export data (image https://sites.google.com/site/jasonmilja2/RmdyExportData.jpg). We use it for a quick data backup before migrating a change to production, quickly backing up configuration data as well as "just in case" DR .arx files of the really critical data. I have one machine left where this app works because it is my last machine with the Admin Tool 8-) My plan has been post it on the BMCDN for a while (once I get it distribution worthy). With runmacro becoming harder to find it may never make it there :( Jason On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 1:27 PM, Easter, David <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > > In your scenario, it would be more appropriate to make such call using Web > Services or through the (Java) API. > > > > The only other common scenario that has been presented to me was repetitive > tasks – i.e. entering multiple tickets where the data in the majority of > fields are the same but one or two fields need to be changed each time. > That may be solvable through a different mechanism that macros – e.g. > creating a feature that enables the creation of a “template” with one or two > fields accepting a variable input. > > > > On the issue of exporting reports, there are tentative plans in a future > release to implement scheduling and automated publishing of the web reports > generated through AR System.
