[amibroker] Re: How to run multiple parallel AA functions using VBscript?

Okay, since I am using Windows Vista, which does not have the same RunAs utility as Win XP, I had to install a utility, RunAsSPC. That utility works fine in manual testing.

For example, if I am logged in as User: AB01 but want to open broker.exe under User: AB03, I just type the following in the command prompt:

cd c:\runasspc

c:\runasspc\runasspc.exe /program:"c:\Program Files (x86)\Amibroker\Broker.exe" /user:"AB03" /password:"passAB03" /quiet

And it will open broker.exe under AB03 while I remain logged in as AB01.

But the issue that is still dogging me is - how do I now integrate the above with my _vbscript_ to ensure that when I create the broker object, that it does so under user AB03, intead of user AB01?

In other words, what goes at the top of the following _vbscript_ code? Do I need to add some kind of windows script to call the above command line, or some other script that allocates any actions to a specific user? Anyone have any idea what such a line would look like? I am going through the Windows Script Host manual, and I find it somewhat confusing.

Thanks for any input.


dim AB
set AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application")

dim AA
set AA = AB.Analysis

AB.LoadDatabase( Database )
AA.LoadSettings( Settings )
AB.ActiveDocument.Name = "EURUSD"        ' Set EURUSD as active document

 
AA.LoadFormula( Formula1 )                        ' load formula from external file
AA.ApplyTo                = 1                                    ' use current symbol
AA.RangeMode          = 3                                   ' use 'From' and 'To' dates
AA.RangeFromDate = FromDate
AA.RangeToDate       = ToDate
AA.Optimize( 0 )

You can overcome that by generating dynamic composite names (e.g. based on the user name).
