Title

ZAM Macros Do Not Run After Upgrade

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host

Emulation Types

TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

ZAM macros no longer run after an unattended install was used to upgrade to PASSPORT PC to Host version 2007-914.  I am getting the error below:

 

"Unable to run macro execution engine: c:\Program Files\PASSPORT\PassZamR.exe

The system cannot find the file specified"

 

 

Solution

Beginning in PASSPORT version 2007, in order to install the files necessary to run ZAM macros with an unattended or command line install, you will need to add the following parameter to your install command:

 

PASSOBJ_SUPPORT=1

 

This will install PASSPORT with Object API (passobj.dll and passzamr.exe) support in order to run ZAM macros.

For example:

msiexec /qn /i "p:\Passport_2007-914.msi" LICENSE="6WSR-BJ7T-SSG3-G4ZF" PASSOBJ_SUPPORT=1
