4. Click Remove.

5. Click Yes.

Importing DP Objects from a tsr or bdb file

You can import multiple DP or OR objects in a single instance by using tsr or bdb file that is generated in UFT.

To import objects using bdb or tsr file:

1. Go to Develop > Objects.

2. Select DP object tree.

3. Click the Import button to locate the saved file (bdb or tsr) folder to import DP objects.

A message box confirms the successful import of objects.

If any error occurs during importing objects, then Qualitia displays error messages. You can view the detailed information about the errors in the generated log file. The log file Import_Log.txt is generated as per the log path defined in Qualitia Config Settings.

The following are the reasons for the errors which may occur during the import process.

• Selection of invalid object repository file.
  For example: Any file extension other than bdb or tsr (QTP) file is selected.

• Omission of Database Server, DB User Name and DB Password in the Configuration Settings window.

• Invalid Log path

• Failed connection to Database Server.

It is recommended to analyze the log file after every instance of the Import feature usage.

Characteristics of Imported Objects using UFT

• The logical name in underlying automation tool object repository is appended with its class name.

• All the object names in Qualitia are unique.

• In scenarios where the object name and the class name of an imported object are conflicting with the existing object in the object repository, then Qualitia appends '_' and the sequential number (starting from 1) with the object name.

• The Description field of the imported objects is auto-populated with the following on the Object Management screen:

i. Name of the bdb/tsr file
ii. Hierarchy of the object in the bdb file

• If an object in bdb/tsr file does not contain any properties, then Qualitia sets micClass property as object property for that object during the import process.

Common Note for UFT

In property value, the following properties of an object are preceded by '/' (forward slash) as these characters are used as identifiers in Qualitia.

• The Import feature supports import of new objects only in the object repository of Qualitia. It does not support import of DP objects that require update or deletion. You need to manually update or delete objects in Qualitia.

• The Import feature imports only those objects that are supported by Qualitia. The information about the non-supported objects is logged in Import_Log.txt file during the import operation. The current list of supported objects can be viewed in the Object Class drop-down list on Object screen of Qualitia.

• You can use the Import feature only if the administrator has assigned you the Object Maintenance privileges in the Admin module.

If you click any object in the tree on the left pane of the Develop screen, the right pane displays all the child objects with object details like object name, object class, and description. Below the properties pane, property and value of that object are displayed.

Important Information on Property Values

You must know the following information related to property value of an object.

1. Regular expressions can be used in the Property value field. Qualitia supports the regular expression syntax defined by the underling tool. For example, suppose there is a Browser with the title Qualitia, then a user can give the title property in the form of regular expression as Qua.*

2. A key name can be used in the Property value field where the key name should be enclosed in braces. During execution, the value from the key will be retrieved and substituted for the corresponding Property. For example, suppose you have set up to store the value Qualitia in the key PropKey and then want to work on a Browser with the title Qualitia. In this case, on the Object Management screen, you can use the Property value for the Browser's title as {PropKey}. This is mainly to help you identify an object which is having a runtime property value.

3. To use the value from the key, you have to pass the key name in curly brackets. For example, the key name is QKey, then, to use the value from the key, you should enclose the key name in squiggly brackets like {QKey}.

4. The scope of a key remains only across the tasks within a test case.

5. We can even concatenate a key with a static string or a static string with a key. A key with a key combination can also be passed in the Property value field. For example, suppose you have set up to store two keys, Prop1Key and Prop2Key with values "Qua" and "litia" in them respectively. In this case, the following combinations in the property value field will yield output as shown below:

 
Following characters, if found in property value of an object, are preceded by '/' (forward slash) because these characters are used as identifiers in Qualitia.
