To retrieve the recorded events, you can import them from a Recording Studio history file
or from HCL Quality Server.
Before you begin
The HCL Quality Server import capability is available only
in HCL OneTest™ API 8.5.1 or later.
Before you can import recorded
events from HCL Quality Server, you must ensure that your
HCL OneTest™ API project is connected to a valid instance of HCL Quality Server.
To ensure that the connection is working correctly, click Project
> Project Settings on the menu bar, click the Server
Settings tab on the Project Settings window,
and verify that a green checkmark icon is displayed next to the URL field
on the HCL Quality Server area
of the tab. If there is no URL displayed or if there is a red cross
icon next to the URL field, you should contact
your HCL OneTest™ API project administrator.
About this task
Importing recorded events from a Recording Studio history
file enables you to retrieve recorded events that were generated during
an earlier user session for your project and import those events into
Recording Studio.
In contrast, importing recorded events from
HCL Quality Server enables you to import recorded events to your project
that were previously exported to HCL Quality Server by you or another
user.
Any recorded events imported into your project can be
used to create tests and stubs.
Restriction:
- There are limitations with importing recorded events into a project that is different from the
project from which they were exported.
- If you are using HCL Quality Server 8.5.1.1 or later and domain-level
security is enabled, you can view recordings only for domains to which
you have been granted access.
When importing a Recording Studio history file created
by 8.6.0 or later, the original
Enabled and
Color attributes
are also restored.
