Active app thru LISP

[bdining]

I have searched the documents and was unable to find the function to verify if WorkManager is running.
Could somebody let me know what function to use to verify if WM is running?

HI

If your function has to work on a win OS you can use the DDE functions of the OSD Integration Kit. By using the functions you can check, if you can open a DDE-Channel. If you can't open a channel, so you can be sure, in the most situations your Application doesn't work. On the UX Os exists a similar command SD-INTF.

Sincerely

Dieter

Hi. Maybe this can help you:

(defun workamanger-active-p ()
(not (eq (sd-dde-initiate "HP_WORKMANAGER" "GENERAL") :error))
)

I have written this function on the fly, without testing it... anyway it should work. But I am not sure of the dde service name of workmanager.
This function should return t if WorkManager is active and false otherwise.

This works well.
Thank You

Where would I find a list of servicenames that would be used for this function?

The only thing I found was
SET wm_dde="HP_WORKMANAGER"
in a dv2sd.bat file.

What other topicnames could be used?

Thank You

Hello Bill,

These are the only other ones I know of.

"PESD" for SolidDesigner
"SD_ACCESS" for SolidDesigner Access
"ME10F" for ME10


Cheers
Thom

For the topic, if I remember well, I have always used "GENERAL" for Me10, SolidDesigner and Workamanager.

Also the following pairs could be useful:
Service=WinWord Topic=System for MSWord
Service=Excel Topic=System for MSExcel

Hi,

DDE only works on Windows platform

You should use

(sd-intf "HP PEWM IL" "WAIT 0") )

to check if yout WM server is UNIX based.


If you simply want to check whether the DataManagement module is set active

Simply use

(if (not (oli::sd-license-free-module-active-p "PEWMSD")) ....
