  Correlation of cookies is not mandatory in RPT. During playback some values which are recorded during scripting are sent to the server to be processed, but these values most of the time are dynamic in nature, and they do not form the page content during response from the server.

To summarize, no it is not necessary to correlate cookie in RPT, as they do not... [More]
