[Joe Boyle]

The moment I clicked the send button my minds eye caught sight of a cascade
of boulders, 'meteorites' and greenhouses winging their way through the
supernet interway avenue, straight to my inbox; but I think Mike has
provided a pretty hefty deflection - for which many thanks to Mike :-).

 

As for my Powerhouse Enhancement - how about a QTP report along the lines of
the output from 'set lang sql', but in this case QTP provides a list showing
how it has reorganised the qtp syntax coded by the programmer, into each of
the phases ( and reported in exactly the same format as the examples in
Matt's paper )  including all actions taken in the background by each QTP
phase, e.g. for a table update, the list would show that QTP has read in the
record, and exactly at which point in the QTP list of things to do, etc...
You would have to see an example of Matt's timing tables to fully appreciate
how this would help the developer.

 

That said, this is possibly already available in the QTP tracer output, but
as I haven't actually seen this feature in action I wouldn't know.

 

Regards, Joe

Shockingly bad joke!    ;-).

Good to see Matt come back from the bowels of Cognos blinking into the
sunlight. ;-). I'll say hi to Mr. Solland for you Matt.

I'll take this under advisement for the next release. It will depend on the
resources we have available to do an update. I do have the paper as well as
all of the information incorporated into the old Advanced PowerHouse Topics
Seminar.

By pure chance (and I haven't seen this in at least seven years ) I found my
copy of Matt's doc which runs to thirteen pages. I agree that the general
topics are present in the QTP documentation, but the examples given in
Matt's doc are much clearer and given in much greater detail.

 

The title of the paper is 'The care and feeding of QTP ( How to make it
obey, and what to do when it doesn't )'; I particularly like the first
paragraph, which includes the line 'QTP... it seems to have a ( fairly
malicious ) mind if its own' :-).

 

I couldn't remember the authors name until I saw it yesterday, I always
thought it was something to do with Physics, but 'Matt' rings no physics
bells for me :-).
