  1. Hello Sumeet, Is there a way using UFT 12.5 we can store the value in Global DataSheet which we can use it in another action that follows at the end of the test.

    I am using something as described below, But it doesnt seem to set the value in the Global Data Table

    submissionID = Browser(“Logon”).Page(“GeneralInformationPage”).WebElement(“SubmissionID”).GetROProperty(“innertext”)
    print submissionID
    DataTable.Value (“User”, dtGlobalSheet) = submissionID

    • Hi Tilaknath,

      UFT creates the sequence of actions to be executed at runtime using Datatable, so you will have to make sure that, it fits into that sequence properly.

      There can be different things which you can try

      Instead of writing it into the datatable, you can also create environment variable or call the Action with the parameter “SubmissionID”

      Let me know, if you need any other details.

      • Hello Sumeet,

        Web elements are not recognized by firefox browser, The test doesn’t seem to execute in firefox version 40 and above eventhough UFT 12.51 states it supports it, Is there any additional installation that needs to be done for UFT to support firefox?
