Cancelling Scripts During Recording
During session recording, you can cancel scripts that you have generated. The scripts
are deleted.
This feature is useful if you make errors while recording a session or if you want to
exclude non-essential or preliminary activity (such as logging in or navigating to the
Web site that you want to test). For example, if you split a script at the point where
you want to send a query, you can ignore the login and other preliminary requests
you needed to make to get to the query's starting point.
Cancelling a Script in a Single-Script Session
If you have not split the session into multiple scripts, you can cancel both the script
and the session, and then stop recording as follows:
1. During recording, click the Stop button on the Session Record floating toolbar.
2. In the Stop Recording dialog box, click Ignore just-recorded information.
3. Click OK in the Stop Recording dialog box.
4. Click OK to acknowledge that the session is being deleted.
Cancelling the Current Script in a Multi-Script Session
When you record a session, you click the Split Script button to create multiple
scripts.
To cancel the current script, keep the other scripts that you recorded in this session,
and then continue recording:
1. During recording, click the Split Script button on the Session Record floating
toolbar.
2. In the Split Script dialog box, click Ignore just-recorded information.
3. Click OK.
You can now begin recording a new script.
To cancel the current script, keep the other scripts that you recorded in this session,
and then stop recording:
1. During recording, click the Stop button on the Session Record floating toolbar.
2. In the Stop Recording dialog box, click Ignore just-recorded information.
