Entering repository variable values during recording and playback

Repository variables can be configured to prompt users to enter a variable value when recording or running. Depending on the variable settings, you can enter a value or select a predefined value from a list.

• If a repository variable is set to prompt and you use the QAWRunScript command to run scripts and batch files, you must set the variable value in the QAWRunScript command or the script will fail. See Running scripts from a command prompt.
• If a script variable and a repository variable have the same name, the script variable value overrides the repository variable value during playback.

1. If a repository variable is set to prompt, the Enter Variable Value dialog box opens when you record or run a script.

The variables configured for the version and their default values are displayed.

2. Optionally select a row and enter or select the value to use in the Value column.

If you enter a new value, it is saved and used as the default value the next time you record or run scripts against the application version.

3. Select Do not prompt again if you do not want the Enter Variable Values dialog box to open when you record or run subsequent scripts against the application version.

If this option is selected, the current value is used until QA Wizard Pro is restarted.

4. Click OK.

The value you entered is saved in the variable.
