Merge multiple scripts

[Shama Ahsan]

Hi Basanth

As told by you
We can use the "Copy of action". Create a new test, and call all of the tests as copy of action to merger multiple scripts.

form where we can create copy of action?
please do guide in steps...
i recorded 11 scripts, i recorded these scripts separately. now i want to put them at one place. guide please

Sure. Aah i almost forgot.. My friend QTP told me once to contact his close friend Mr.F1 who would be glad to loan me any knowledge. I learnt from him and he was very articulate with his words. The best part is you dont have to wait for his answers. Here is what you need to do,

1. Open QTP help.
2. Search with the keyword copy of action.
3. Learn about how to use copy of action.

As simple as it is, it would save me to copy paste .

Hope it helps

Shama,

Can you please cross check once if actions in all the tests (the 11 separate scripts as per you) are reusable or not?

[Shama Ahsan]

Hi Prabhatn
well, can we only merge reusable actions??

[basanth27]

What was the error which caused you to conclude that it screwed the whole script? Would you please elaborate.
BTW, it is not mandatory for an action to be reusable to call it as a copy of action. I have been through this discussion on a separate thread under the same category.
