Favorites window

The Favorites Window mirrors the bookmarks created in Internet Explorer. These bookmarks can be used instead of typing the URL during the recording process. The Add and Organize buttons work exactly as they would in Internet Explorer. The Refresh button synchronizes the Favorites list with your current favorites in Internet Explorer. This is done automatically each time you launch the Recorder.

Create, publish scripts, and publish to Foglight

During the recording process, each click or action you make in the Main Window creates an instruction. Instructions are grouped into a script, assigned a name, and saved with an .ftr extension. Scripts are then published to a Foglight server and subsequently downloaded by Transaction Player agents where they are used for monitoring business processes.
Creating scripts with the Foglight Transaction Recorder and uploading them to the Foglight Management Server consist of the following steps:
1
Record scripts
2
Configure scripts (Insert transactions and validations)
3
Script playback
4
Analyze script results
5
Publish scripts to Foglight
