Greetings, Meditech Client Server 5.6 / 6.0 is a Windows application even though we have a specific connection to it that makes it "look" like Magic to a script. Well it's sort of a Windows application but that's a story for a different day...
Meditech NUI became sort of like a windows app - but most of the time, not much like a windows application, so there are ways to prevent the behavior you described. But... It is not possible to script simultaneously into Windows applications. This has nothing to do with a lack of functionality on our part. It is the way of the world. Anyone that says otherwise is leaving out important details. Let me put a disclaimer here. Yes we can do stuff to a Windows application when it's not in the foreground - a lot of stuff. But being able to do lot does not equal being able to do everything you'll need. I hate the cliché, but the devil is in the details. That's why you'll never hear us say you can script windows applications and this includes Meditech Client Server 6.0 simultaneously. Regards, Thom Thom C.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 9:01 AM To: Talk Subject: [talkbws] Running multiple scripts with Meditech 6.0 Greetings, We currently have over 50 BWS scripts located on 2 Virtual servers. We have many occurrences where more than one script runs at the same. This is not an issue because we script into the 3.x workstation. When we tried to use the 4.x workstation we ran into too many issues where the scripts would lose focus of its particular window and the script would halt. So to avoid the "focus" issue we stayed with 3.x. Next year we are upgrading to Meditech 6.0. I foresee a scripting nightmare ahead of me. Does anyone currently script simultaneously into 6.0 without focus issue? If so, what technique do you use?
