The state of the Windows environment as well as your application-under-test can
affect script playback. If there are differences between the recorded environment
and the playback environment, playback problems can occur.
Before playing back a script, be sure that your application-under-test is in the same
state it was in when you recorded the script. Any applications and windows that
were open, active, or displayed when you started recording the script should be
open, active, or displayed when you start playback. In addition, be sure that any
relevant network settings, active databases, and system memory are in the same state
as when the script was recorded.
Setting GUI Playback Options
GUI playback options provide instructions to Robot about how to play back scripts.
You can set these options either before you begin playback or early in the playback
process.
To set GUI playback options:
1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box by doing one of the following:
�
Before you start playback, click Tools > GUI Playback Options.
�
Start playback by clicking the Playback Script button on the toolbar. In the
Playback dialog box, click Options.
