PM36190: RFT 8201 : Recoder do not emit java code for VP image

IBM Rational Functional Tester Version 8.2.0.2 iFix02

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The issue is also reproducible in house using the latest RFT
  8.2.0.1 iFix1 against ClassicJavaA application
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  - Enable simplified scripting
  - Make sure that the 'Skip verification points' option in RFT
  preferences is unchecked
  - Record a new script that launch IE and go to ClassicJavaA
  application
  - Create an image VP by using an option 'Click on the Camera
  icon below to capture the screen image.'
  - Create another text VP on the order button
  - Playback the script
  -? The text VP works properly. The image VP does not show up in
  the log. No error message
  
  The problem is, there is no java script emitted during recording
  itself, hence playback obviously would fails. We need to
  investigate why java code is not getting emitted for screen
  image vp. For now, there is a workaround available. The
  workaround is manully use custom code and then add a VP code
  within a custom block. Please see the escalation for more
  details.
  
  Please note this problem only occurs when you use an option
  'Click on the Camera icon below to capture the screen image.'
  The problem does occurs when you use 'Using the mouse, click the
  Object Finder icon'.
  
  Expected results: Recorder should be able to emit Java code for
  image VP
  Actual results: Recorder does not emit the Java code
  automatically.

  ****************************************************************
  Java code was not being generated for the screen capture
  verification point and hence, we couldn't playback the
  operation. Made appropriate changes to take care of such
  non-mapped test objects.
  

Problem conclusion

• Java code corresponding to screen capture VP is generated as
  expected and we are able to playback the script.
