Hi Galstar,

You could set the navigation of flow of an actions in KeyWord View

Lets consider this as the example

1) You have 3 actions Action1,Action2,Action3

But you want to run the Action2,Action1,Action3 i.e in the order of 2,1,3

So please drag the actions and drop in this manner like first keep the Action2 as the first one and Action1 and Action3 as the last action.

Incase if you want to execute the actions in the order liek 2,1,3,1,2

2) Proceed with the above step mentioned then go to Expert View then script appears like

Code:
RunAction "Action2","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action1","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action3","One Iteration"

Then Insert the "Action1" as Copy of an action then script appears like

Code:
RunAction "Action2","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action1","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action3","One Iteration"

RunAction "Copy of Action1","One Iteration"

Then Insert the "Action2" as Copy of an action then script appears like

Code:
RunAction "Action2","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action1","One Iteration"

RunAction "Action3","One Iteration"

RunAction "Copy of Action1","One Iteration"

RunAction "Copy of Action2","One Iteration"

Please let me know for further clarification.

Thanks and Regards,

Venkat.Batchu.

Hi Venkat,

Are you sure that your above given solution would address the galstar issue?

RE: Calling an action in the same script in QTP - venkatbatchu - 08-23-2010

Hi,

Sorry to mislead you, the solution which i posted is not for this issue that was for another issue some guy posted in another forum mistakenly i copied here.

Once again sorry for misleading.

Regrding your query:

You have created "Order Creation" action and called three actions in this action i.e "Order Creation"

So obviously it will start executing this action and reusuable actions associated to this action (three actions).If you dont want to execute these actions
1. Either you would have not calledthese reusable actions here incase if you require thse actions need to be run on the logic base then put some logic and wherever you dont require put "Exit Action" before these three reusable action. so that it will not execute once the logic meets the particular requirement.

Sorry once again......

Thanks and Regards,

Venkat.Batchu

Thanks for the reply....

Sir,no need to say sorry Smile

But i think exit action will exit from that particular action not from others proceeding actions...

RE: Calling an action in the same script in QTP - venkatbatchu - 08-26-2010

Hi Galstar,

You have called 3 actions in to "Order Creation action" so three actions becomes associated to this main action when you put "Exit Action" no matter how many actions called into this main action so with this stament it will not execute any called actions.

Please let me know for further clarification.

Hi Galstar,

Creating & Accessing Environment Variable programmatically would solve your problem Smile

Refer the below example for more info.

For example, there is Test by name "MyTest" which contain 3 Actions i.e Action1,Action2,Action3.

Here I am calling Action2,Action3 in Action1 and once Action1 is executed Action2,Action3 will not get executed again.

Action1 Code:

Code:
Environment.Value("Execute")="Yes"

      Msgbox "This is Action1 code"

      RunAction "Action2",OneIteration

      RunAction "Action3", oneIteration

  Environment.Value("Execute")="No"

Action2 Code:

Code:
If Environment.Value("Execute")="No" then 

       ExitAction

    End if 

    Msgbox "This is Action2 code"

Action3 Code:

Code:
If Environment.Value("Execute")="No" then 

       ExitAction

    End if 

    Msgbox "This is Action3 code"

Yeah, it is working....

Thank u so much to both of you......
