Accessing COMPANY variables from subconnections

Accessing COMPANY variables from subconnections

avatar

I have come across an issue when accessing COMPANY level variables from a sub connection.

I have created a typing macro - which just outputs the PARENT_NAME and the COMPANY_CUSTOM_FIELD1 variables.

I then have a COMPANY folder, within which is a SITE folder, within which is a HOST entry. Within the HOST entry are several sub-connections - including a PUTTY session and a REBEX SSH session (via a jump gateway) and a Notepad session for testing the macro.

If I start the sub-connections and then try to execute the macro in each of the three sub-connections, it only displays the correct value for the Notepad session. The other two SSH sessions just display the variable name as text.

I have included screenshots of the Typing Macro, the variable name at the Company level, and one for each of the sub-connections after executing the macro in the current tab.

I also tried the same test when NOT using sub-connections and it seems to work - so it looks like an issue with sub-connections.

I am running the latest version of RDM - 12.5.4.0

Cheers,

Steve

Hi,

I'm pretty sure it's bug with the subconnection. I will investigate.

Hello,

I've managed to reproduce the issue and it seemed to be specifically with Rebex/PuTTY and not our embedded terminal. We've made the appropriate changes which will be available in the next version of RDM.
