Error description
When you playback a GUI script, IBM Rational Robot does not prompt you to overwrite the script. Before you playback, you set Tools ? GUI Playback Options ? Log ? Log Data ? Prompt before overwite Log. Steps To Reproduce 1. Start Robot in Standalone Mode. 2. Record a Script ? play it back. 3. Once the Script is played back Log gets generated and opens in IE in an XML format. 4. Now, close the XML Format Robot Log. 5 Run the same Robot Script again 6. Observe that Robot Script does NOT ask whether you want to over-write the LOG that was previously generated. NOTES: This behavior is expected. In other words, you cannot overwrite the log. The reason is that it would break the integration with IBM Rational Quality Manager otherwise. In the latter product, you cannot overwrite logs. The change request's purpose is to remove the option to prompt before overwriting the log. To workaround the problem you can add code to your script to backup the log before, you run the same script again. For an example: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=727?uid=swg21454494
