WinRunner FAQ’s

81) Explain the following commands:

a) db_connect
i. to connect to a database
db_connect(, );

b) db_execute_query
i. to execute a query
db_execute_query ( session_name, SQL, record_number );

record_number is the out value.

c) db_get_field_value
i. returns the value of a single field in the specified row_index and column in the session_name database session.

db_get_field_value ( session_name, row_index, column );

d) db_get_headers
i. returns the number of column headers in a query and the content of the column headers, concatenated and delimited by tabs.

db_get_headers ( session_name, header_count, header_content );

e) db_get_row
i. returns the content of the row, concatenated and delimited by tabs.

db_get_row ( session_name, row_index, row_content );

f) db_write_records
i. writes the record set into a text file delimited by tabs.

db_write_records ( session_name, output_file [ , headers [ , record_limit ] ] );

g) db_get_last_error
i. returns the last error message of the last ODBC or Data Junction operation in the session_name database session.

db_get_last_error ( session_name, error );

h) db_disconnect
i. disconnects from the database and ends the database session.

db_disconnect ( session_name );

i) db_dj_convert
i. runs the djs_file Data Junction export file. When you run this file, the Data Junction Engine converts data from one spoke (source) to another (target). The optional parameters enable you to override the settings in the Data Junction export file.

db_dj_convert ( djs_file [ , output_file [ , headers [ , record_limit ] ] ] );

82) What check points you will use to read and check text on the GUI and explain its syntax?

a) You can use text checkpoints in your test scripts to read and check text in GUI objects and in areas of the screen. While creating a test you point to an object or a window containing text. WinRunner reads the text and writes a TSL statement to the test script. You may then add simple programming elements to your test scripts to verify the contents of the text.

b) You can use a text checkpoint to:
i. Read text from a GUI object or window in your application, using obj_get_text and win_get_text
ii. Search for text in an object or window, using win_find_text and obj_find_text
iii. Move the mouse pointer to text in an object or window, using obj_move_locator_text and win_move_locator_text
iv. Click on text in an object or window, using obj_click_on_text and win_click_on_text

83) Explain Get Text checkpoint from object/window with syntax?

a) We use obj_get_text (, ) function to get the text from an object
b) We use win_get_text (window, out_text [, x1, y1, x2, y2]) function to get the text from a window.

84) Explain Get Text checkpoint from screen area with syntax?

a) We use win_get_text (window, out_text [, x1, y1, x2, y2]) function to get the text from a window.

85) Explain Get Text checkpoint from selection (web only) with syntax?

a) Returns a text string from an object.

web_obj_get_text (object, table_row, table_column, out_text [, text_before, text_after, index]);

i. object The logical name of the object.
ii. table_row If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the row within a table. The string is preceded by the # character.
iii. table_column If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the column within a table. The string is preceded by the # character.
iv. out_text The output variable that stores the text string.
v. text_before Defines the start of the search area for a particular text string.
vi. text_after Defines the end of the search area for a particular text string.
vii. index The occurrence number to locate. (The default parameter number is numbered 1).

86) Explain Get Text checkpoint web text checkpoint with syntax?

a) We use web_obj_text_exists function for web text checkpoints.

web_obj_text_exists ( object, table_row, table_column, text_to_find [, text_before, text_after] );

a. object The logical name of the object to search.
b. table_row If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the row within a table. The string is preceded by the character #.
c. table_column If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the column within a table. The string is preceded by the character #.
d. text_to_find The string that is searched for.
e. text_before Defines the start of the search area for a particular text string.
f. text_after Defines the end of the search area for a particular text string.
