Points to note with web_url and web_link:

  • web_url is not a context sensitive function while web_link is a context sensitive function. Context sensitive functions describe your actions in terms of GUI objects (such as windows, lists, and buttons). Check HTML vs URL recording mode.
  • If web_url statement occurs before a context sensitive statement like web_link, it should hit the server, otherwise your script will get error’ed out.
  • While recording, if you switch between the actions, the first statement recorded in a given action will never be a context sensitive statement.
  • The first argument of a web_link, web_url, web_image or in general web_* does not affect the script replay. For example: if your web_link statements were recorded as
    web_link("Hi There",
             "Text=Hello, ABC",
             LAST);

    Now, when you parameterize/correlate the first argument to

    web_link("{Welcome to LearnLoadRunner}",
             "Text=Hello, ABC",
             LAST);

    On executing the above script you won’t find the actual text of the parameter {Welcome to Learn LoadRunner} instead you will find {Welcome to Learn LoadRunner} itself in the execution log. However to show the correlated/parameterized data you can use lr_eval_string to evaluate the parameter.

How to handle pop-up windows in Oracle NCA?

We will see step-by-step procedure of how to handle the pop-up windows while using Oracle NCA protocol:

  1. Put the title of the pop-up window in nca_obj_status function.
  2. Find out where the pop-up is occurring, put the handling statement below it.
  3. The handling statement could be nca_popup_message_press or nca_message_box_press. To find out which function is suitable for your script, record a script using data that generates that popup window, click on the button and check which function gets recorded.

Example:

This piece of code will trigger a pop-up:

nca_set_window( "PopUpObjects");
nca_lov_retrieve_items("PopUpObjects",1,20);
nca_lov_select_item("PopUpObjects","POP UP NOTIFICATIONS");

If title of the window is “Warning”, put it inside the nca_obj_status function. The code would be something like-

int status;
status=nca_obj_status("Warning");
if (status = = 0)
nca_popup_message_press("Warning","OK");
// nca_message_box_press("Forms",1); Any one of them
