Custom Recording

Robot has an extensible framework that provides for the installation and
configuration of custom recorder adapters and custom script generator adapters. For
this type of recording to work, and for the resulting script to play back, a custom
recorder adapter and custom script generator adapter must be installed and
configured.

Robot provides this extensibility and stores recorded data in a Rational project, but
custom recording is unrestricted; its capabilities are defined by the installed adapter.
Because this type of recording is customized, it works independently of existing
Robot recording and script generating capabilities.

To use custom recording:
1. Properly install and configure each of the adapters.
2. Select

Use Custom

in the

Method

tab.

If custom recorder adapters and custom script generator adapters are installed and
configurable, the

Method:Custom

General

Generator:Custom

, and

Generator

tabs are

enabled, and all other tabs are disabled.
