Shortcut Question

avatar

I have a question on creating shortcuts because I do not think I correctly understand the purpose.

I have a session entry that opens an internal website via IE (SAP) and logs in.

I have Enable web browser extension link checked as well as Open new browser session (no merge) checked.

The only other item I have different than default is in the events tab I have a macro that executes after a 3 second initial wait (it logs me in).

On the Advanced tab I clicked the Create Desktop Shortcut button and the desktop shortcut was created.

When I launch the shortcut, all the happens is the Remote desktop manager app is restored and gets focus. My session is not started.

When I launch the session from within RDM the session is opened correctly.

Am I doing something wrong?

which RDM version do you have? (I use 7.6.2.0)
I have tried it with an normal website and your settings, excepted the macro and it is working well.
Only thing is, when I start the connection with the desktop shortcut the autofill (username and password) is not working. When I start it with RDM opened it work fine.

best regards

7.6.1.0

I will try an update to see if that fixes it.

I have upgraded to 7.6.3, deleted the desktop shortcut, then recreated the desktop shortcut and no luck.

When I double click on the desktop shortcut RDM gets focus and the session is not launched.

I can't reboot at the moment but will try that later.

Hi,
Have you installed the IE extension? Why do you need a macro?
