open Putty via QTP

[Rachna]

hello,

Can we open putty via QTP without Terninal Emulator Add-in?

Yes you can. It is just like any other application. Here are two functions I wrote for Putty. You can type in the putty client just like a cmd dialog.

Code:

Function closePutty() 'This Closes the Putty Window. Dim AppCount On Error Resume Next InfoLog "Closing Putty" If window("PuTTY").Exist(0) Then window("PuTTY").Type "Quit" End If If window("PuttyConfig").Exist(0) Then Window("PuttyConfig").Close End If If window("PuTTY").Exist(0) Then Window("PuTTY").Close Window("PuTTY").Dialog("PuTTY Exit Confirmation").WinButton("OK").Click End If End Function Function startPutty(sServerIP,sPort,bWindowTitle,sWindowName) 'This function will start the Putty Application. 'sServerIP is the Server IP to connect too. 'sPort is the port to be connecting too. 'bWindowTitle is whether you want to change the name of the window. 'sWindowName is the name of the window that will be changed too. Dim SettingsFile On Error Resume Next closePutty InfoLog "Starting Putty" SettingsFile="C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" If fso.FileExists(SettingsFile)=False Then 'Verify that Putty is installed. ErrorLog SettingsFile & " does not exist." startPutty=False Exit Function Else startPutty=True End If SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe", "", "", "" Window("PuttyConfig").WinRadioButton("Telnet").Set Window("PuttyConfig").WinEdit("Host Name").Set sServerIP Window("PuttyConfig").WinEdit("Port").Set sPort If bWindowTitle=True Then Window("PuttyConfig").WinTreeView("Category:").Select "Window;Behaviour" Window("PuttyConfig").WinEdit("Window title:").Set sWindowName End If Window("PuttyConfig").WinButton("Open").Click Wait(5) If bWindowTitle=False Then window("PuTTY").Activate window("PuTTY").Type micReturn End If ErrorCatcher Err.Number, Err.Description Err.Clear End Function

If you have any further questions please ask.

Thanks for the Reply.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to Telnet an Ip from RUN via QTP without help of TE Add-in?

Yes, I do it all the time either with both Putty and the cmd prompt.
