The following steps outline the general process for recording a script.

  1. Set the session recording options. Recording options tell Robot how to record and generate scripts. You set recording options to specify:
    - The t ype of recordi ng you want to perform, such as API, network, or proxy. The recording method you choose determines some of the other recording options you need to set.
    - Script generation options, such as specifying whether you want the script to include datapool commands or think time delays, and whether you want to filter out protocols to control the size of the script.
  2. Start the recording session. With the API recording method, you must start recording first, at which point Robot prompts you for the name of the client. With the other recording methods, network and proxy, you can start recording before or after you start the client.
  3. Start the client application.
  4. Record the transactions. While you are recording the transactions, you can split the session into multiple scripts, each representing a logical unit of work.
  5. Optionally, insert timers, blocks, comments, and other features into the script during recording.
  6. Close the client application.
  7. Stop recording.
  8. Robot automatically generates scripts.
