I tried to run ‘A quick example: Visual Basic as client’ with 24x7 new version after registering 24x7ole.tlb successfully. I got the '24x7 Remote Control' reference library under VB 6.0 but I got the error as following when CreateObject("24x7 Remote Control"):

“Run – time error ‘429’
ActiveX component can’t create object”

The code is here:
************************************************************************
Dim ole_24x7_rc As Object
Dim lngRn As Long

Set ole_24x7_rc = CreateObject("24x7 Remote Control")
If ole_24x7_rc Is Nothing Then

'Rem Handle the error
End If

If ole_24x7_rc.opensession("john_doe", "password", "WinSock", "LocalHost", "10099", "", False) 1 Then
' Handle the error
MsgBox ole_24x7_rc.lasterror
Else
' Get job list
lngRn = ole_24x7_rc.getjoblist(buffer, True)
' Change start time for job #12 to 6:00 AM
lngRn = ole_24x7_rc.setjobproperty("12", "START_TIME", "6:00")
' Done. Close session
lngRn = ole_24x7_rc.closesession()
End If
' Destroy COM object and release allocated resources
Set remote24x7 = Nothing
**************************************************************************************
Thanks for your help in advance

First make sure you are using version 2.4.1 see Help/About
Also make sure you have 24x7 Scheduler install dir in the PATH (use short file names in the PATH). If you are not, change it and restart your computer.

I am using a scheduler 2.4.1 version and the 24x7.exe/24x7ole.tlb are in a dir of “24x7 Scheduler 2.0”. Is this a problem? If so, how to change it? I am not sure where is the PATH you mentioned as your message?

Thanks,

The PATH is the name of the environment variable.
If you are using Win95/98/Me you set PATH in the c:\autoexec.bat file

If you are on WinNT/2000 you set it in the Control Panel / System applet (Environment tab page)

In any case you alredy have some value assigned to the PATH. You should append at the end of PATH value a string like ";C:\Program Files\24x7 Scheduler 2.0".

Thanks! It works with the COM and it is in progress. I got the message: “Invalid serial number! You must register this copy of the 24x7 Remote Control COM component before you can use it.” I think that this is reasonable since I use a trial version. Is this true?

I am wondering if I can get 24x7 Remote Control methods and properties from Object Browser with VB6.0 editor. What is the key word for this COM? 24x7 or 24x7OLE?

BTW, does the COM interface allow building Web based XML interfaces?

Thanks for your support again,

Please see my answers below

This is caused by the fact that both COM and 24x7 itself cannot share the same serial number. In the trial version you can bypass that if you move 24x7 Scheduler to another computer.

Yes you can see them in the Object Browser if you expand the "hidden" section

: BTW, does the COM interface allow building Web based XML interfaces?

Yes, by the way this is the main purpose of the COM interface. A Java interface for Netscape and other non-Microsoft web servers going to beta next week.
