Help with distributed test on vmware

I'm having two problems with testcomplete and vmware:

1. How can testcomplete know when the vmware image is up so that I can take away the ugly delay?

2. How can I extend the "timeout" for Task completion? The problem now is that vmware is shutting down the image while the task is completing so that I get a run time error.



---code---

Set app = TestedApps.vmrun


app.Params.SimpleParams.CommandLineParameters = "-T ws start ""<vmware image>"""


Set p = app.Run


Delay(300000) 'What to take away this


 


NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName("Slave").Tasks.ItemByName("Clean").Run(True) 'Think I need to have some wait in this task to let vmware take down the image

    Hi Håkan,

    As far as I know, VMWare provides a COM object. So, you can try using the COM object to obtain information on the virtual machine's current state. Please see the "Working With COM Objects" help topic to learn how to work with COM objects from TestComplete. I recommend that you contact the VMWare support team for more details on the COM object's methods and properties you need to use.
