AgentRun

Function : Agents

AgentRun - Run an Agent.

#include <agents.h>
STATUS LNPUBLIC AgentRun(

    HAGENT  hAgent,
    HAGENTCTX  hAgentCtx,
    DHANDLE  hSelection,
    DWORD  dwFlags);

Description :

Given a handle to an open Agent (created by calling AgentOpen()) and a handle to an Agent runtime context (created by calling AgentCreateRunContext()), run the agent.

If the agent is not a LotusScript agent and it requires input from the UI, (for example the agent is to run on seclected documents), you will get the error, ERR_AGENT_UI_TRIGGER: "Unsupported trigger and search in the background or embedded agent"

If a background agent erroneously refers to the UI (front-end) classes, you will get an error.

Parameters : Input : hAgent - Handle to the open Agent.

hAgentCtx - Handle to the Agent run-time context.

hSelection - Reseved; must be 0.

dwFlags - Optional - can be 0. See AGENT_xxx for other possible values.

Output : (routine) - Return indicates either success or what the error is. The return codes include:

NOERROR - Operation was successful.

ERR_xxx - STATUS returned from a lower-level unction call.

Sample Usage :

/* Given the handle of the database and the Agent name, find the Note ID for 
the Agent.*/
 status = NIFFindDesignNote (hDb, pAgentName, NOTE_CLASS_FILTER, &AgentID);
 if (status == ERR_NOT_FOUND)
  status = NIFFindPrivateDesignNote (hDb, pAgentName, NOTE_CLASS_FILTER, 
&AgentID);

/* Open the Agent */ 
    status = AgentOpen (hDb, AgentId, &hOpenAgent);

/* Create the Agent Run Context */
    status = AgentCreateRunContext (hOpenAgent, NULL, (DWORD) 0, 
&hOpenAgentCtx);

/* Run the Agent */
    status = AgentRun (hOpenAgent, hOpenAgentCtx, (DHANDLE) 0, (DWORD) 0);

/* Destroy the Agent Run Context */
    AgentDestroyRunContext (hOpenAgentCtx);

/* Close the Agent */
    AgentClose (hOpenAgent);
