If the manual actions change the application output in a way that is easy to check, then maybe you could use a While Controller to run a sampler and look for the change. Or use a BSF or BeanShell sampler to look for a file that you create when the manual stage is complete (you might be able to put this in a script that runs the Uniface app). The advantage of such approaches is that they would also work in non-GUI mode. The __log/__logn functions can print a message to the console window when the manual intervention stage is reached, or you can use BSF/BSH to do so before checking for the marker file. If there is more than one thread, you will need to use a synchronising timer as well. > > Met Vriendelijke Groet, > Ronald van de Kuil > > Stuck in the past somewhere in the future?
