7-18

To cancel the requests you made since you began recording the current script,
click Ignore just-recorded information. This action affects only the current
script, not any previous scripts you recorded in this session. For more
information, see Canceling Scripts During Recording on page 7-10.

3. Click OK.
4. After you click the Stop Recording button to end the recording session, type or

select a name for the last script you recorded, or accept the default name.

Repeat the previous steps as many times as needed to end one script and begin
another.

Importing a Session

You can import a session from a source file into your current project. For example,
assume someone at another site e-mails you a session file. You can import this
session file, regenerate scripts, and create a suite in TestManager.

To import a session file:
1. Click Tools > Import Session.
2. Type in the source file path or click Browse to search for the file.
3. Click in the Automatically Generate Scripts Upon Import box to

automatically generate a script after importing the source file. This selection
allows you to set session record options by clicking Options.

4. Click OK.

After successful import, the file is saved to your current project. If you chose the

Automatically Generate Scripts Upon Import option, the script automatically
generates.

Robot can import four session file types: watch files (.wch), XML files (.xml),
annotation files (.ids), and extension files (.ext). Robot looks for file sets to import. If
a file of the same name with one or more of these four extensions resides within the
same directory, Robot imports all of the files. For example, if you have a test.wch,
test.xml, test.ids, and test.ext file in the same directory, Robot imports all four of the
files. To import only one file, either rename the file or move it to another directory.

Exporting a Session

To export a session from the current test datastore to any location within the
computer's file system:
1. Click Tools > Export Session.
2. Click the session to export.
