Description
The GetRemoteOLEObject method returns an OLE object that resides on a remote computer. If the desired OLE object is not running, GetRemoteOleObject launches it. If the method cannot connect to the desired object within a minute, an error occurs.
Declaration
NetworkSuite.GetRemoteOLEObject(Address, Name, Domain, UserName, Password)
| Address | [in] | Required | String | |
| Name | [in] | Required | String | |
| Domain | [in] | Required | String | |
| UserName | [in] | Required | String | |
| Password | [in] | Required | String | |
| Result | Variant | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
Address
The host name or the IP address of the computer that hosts the needed OLE object.
Name
Either the program id (for example, Word.Application), or the class id (CLSID, for instance, {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}) of the OLE object you want to obtain.
Domain
The domain the remote computer belongs to.
UserName
The name of the account you want to use to log in to the remote computer where you want to obtain the OLE object.
Password
The password of the user account you want to use to log in to the remote computer.
Result Value
The requested OLE object.
Remarks
GetRemoteOleObject is mainly used to return an OLE object from a remote computer rather than from the current one. Unlike the Sys.OleObject property, GetRemoteOleObject does not require configuring DCOM properties on the target remote computer, set appropriate permissions for this computer, etc. You only need to make sure that the TestComplete 14 Service is running on the target computer, and GetRemoteOleObject will be able to access it.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to obtain the OLE object residing on the remote computer.
JavaScript, JScript
{
// Specifies the name of the remote computer
var Address = "TEST-XP32";
// Specifies the name of the OLE server
var Name = "Excel.Application";
// Specifies the information on the account used to log in to the remote computer
var Domain = "EGDS";
var UserName = "tester";
var Password = "123";
// Obtains the OLE object residing on the remote computer
var Excel = NetworkSuite.GetRemoteOLEObject(Address, Name, Domain, UserName, Password);
…
}
Python
def NetworkSuiteSample():
# Specifies the name of the remote computer
Address = "TEST-XP32"
# Specifies the name of the OLE server
Name = "Excel.Application"
# Specifies the information on the account used to log in to the remote computer
Domain = "EGDS"
UserName = "tester"
Password = "123"
# Obtains the OLE object residing on the remote computer
Excel = NetworkSuite.GetRemoteOLEObject(Address, Name, Domain, UserName, Password)VBScript
' Specifies the name of the remote computer
Address = "TEST-XP32"
' Specifies the name of the OLE server
Name = "Excel.Application"
' Specifies the information on the account used to log in to the remote computer
Domain = "EGDS"
UserName = "tester"
Password = "123"
' Obtains the OLE object residing on the remote computer
Set Excel = NetworkSuite.GetRemoteOLEObject(Address, Name, Domain, UserName, Password)
…
End Sub
DelphiScript
var Address, Name, Domain, UserName, Password, Excel;
begin
// Specifies the name of the remote computer
Address := 'TEST-XP32';
// Specifies the name of the OLE server
Name := 'Excel.Application';
// Specifies the information on the account used to log in to the remote computer
Domain := 'EGDS';
UserName := 'tester';
Password := '123';
// Obtains the OLE object residing on the remote computer

…
end;
C++Script, C#Script
{
// Specifies the name of the remote computer
var Address = "TEST-XP32";
// Specifies the name of the OLE server
var Name = "Excel.Application";
// Specifies the information on the account used to log in to the remote computer
