Automatic insert a job at transaction initialization

[SVanSchoonlandt]

Hi all,

I have a macro which I need to run at dispatch of MEGA. I created a macro to insert it as a job and when I run this macro and dispatch it works fine. However now I need to automatically add my job to the dispatchjobs. I found the KB below that explains it is possible of CP11 on MEGA 2009, however we are on CP 6 and this is not going to change in the next months. The article describes of a way of doing this by using a metacommand on the repository metaclass. Is there anyone that can explain what is needed to be done on the repository metaclass in order to setup the behaviour?

Hi Jerome,

thanks for the info. I'll have a look when we can upgrade to CP10 in order to make use of the new feature.

Hello Stijn

Note that initialization of a job with a MetaCommand on the MetaClass 'Repository' is not an official feature and is not fully reliable. The dispatch job can be lost when using menu File > Refresh or File > Discard.

See this KB

http://community.mega.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/mega-kb-solution?sid=501D00000010EmVIAU

This is why a new feature (Automatic insertion of jobs when dispatching transaction) has been developped as you have identified it (see http://community.mega.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/mega-kb-solution?sid=501D00000012k6uIAA)

If you cannot wait until CP11 is released, contact MEGA support to get the latest hotfix on MEGA 2009 SP5 CP10 (hotfix 10.13 or higher)

Hi Stijn

You need to create a metacommand on the Repository metaclass and then directly call your code in the body of the macro: 

MyInit

Sub MyInit()

'' your initialization stuff

End Sub

This way the code will be called when the user connects to the repository.
I am not sure this method is supported, though.
