Saving macro results between steps

[Former Member]

All,

We have a requirement where we need to save the results from Step 1 of the macro into the livecache before executing the next step - standard macros do not save the results until the Save icon is clicked on. Any ideas on how to do this? Essentially, I am looking to replicate the Save icon except that it is to be triggered from within the macro.

Thanks

I dont think it is possible to do that in foreground mode. Even if you use collective macro there is nothing you can do to save intermediate steps. That is a basic design issue about macros. I think this fact is well documented as well in Macro help.

If you are doing this in batch however, you should use multiple steps in the activity or multiple activities itself to make sure intermediate steps are committed to the DB.

You may use two macros together as a chain.
