Question

 

We are planning to use Forms Playback Option for few of our Data Loading
requirements.

For simple forms, we have tried this option and found it is working
fine.

But for one of our actual requirements, the play option is not working.


Attached herewith are the screenshots of the sequence of screens for
loading data.

Request your help in analyzing the issue.

 

Answer

 

Thanks for writing to us.

 

If you are not able to record and playback then please

   1. Try to enter data directly into fields rather than using LOV's while recording. ( This could be the reason in your case after reviewing the screenshots which you have sent)

   2.  Please make sure you have edited the ICX:Forms Launcher Profile setting correctly, many a times users enter "&" character between record and playback. The record and playback options should not be separated by anything except %20 character in ICX: Forms Launcher string

       For Example:-
               http://host.domain:port/dev60cgi/f60cgi?record=rec.fdl%20play=myplay.fdl

  3. Please make sure that you have copied the playback file to the correct directory, that is, the same directory where you have found the recorded file and it has proper permissions.

If none of the above helps, then please make sure you have recorded the file correctly that is you have used keyboard keys for navigating the form and try to avoid using mouse clicks. In LOV fields try to enter the data directly rather than using  LOV's.

Hope this helps, if not, then please do write to us and we will be glad to help you.
