Solution - ActiveX component can't create object: 'TDApiOle80.TDConnection'

We can connect to ALM using 'TDApiOle80.TDConnection' object in VBscript as shown below:



Function CreateALMConnection(uRLALM,strUserName,strPassword,strDomain, strProject)
 Set objALMConnection = CreateObject("TDApiOle80.TDConnection")
        objQCConnection.InitConnectionEx uRLALM
        objQCConnection.Login strUserName, strPassword
        objQCConnection.Connect strDomain, strProject
  
  ''/* Write the required code for transaction with 
               '' ALM once the connection is created
   
  objQCConnection.Disconnect            
        objQCConnection.Logout
        objQCConnection.ReleaseConnection
        Set objQCConnection = Nothing
End Function
