enableservice

Enable DDE or Automation server

Syntax

• enableservice('service',status)
  

Description

enableservice('service',status) enables the specified service, where service can be one of the following:

• DDEServer -- enable the MATLAB DDE server.
• AutomationServer -- converts an existing MATLAB session into an Automation server.

Note that you cannot disable either service once it is disabled. Therefore, the only allowed value for status is true.

Remarks

You can use the outgoing MATLAB DDE commands (ddeinit, ddeterm, ddeexec, ddereq, ddeadv, ddeunadv, ddepoke) without starting the DDE server.

Examples

Enable the Automation server in the current MATLAB session:

• enableservice('AutomationServer',true)
