Record Events and Annotate the Log
Double-click btmarker.exe in the BTStudio directory on the BT Studio
system or in the directory to which you copied it on the client system.
If the application to monitor resides on the BT Studio system, start BT
Studio and select Tools > Run BT Marker from the menu bar.
The BT Marker dialog box appears.
4. If BT Marker is not installed on the client system, use the Switch Agent
function to connect to the recording agent:
5. In the BT Marker dialog box, click Switch Agent. BT Marker displays the
Switch Agent dialog box.
6. Specify the name of the client system.
7. Click Connect.
8. A field in the middle of the BT Marker dialog box indicates the agent to
which you are connected. If you receive the error "Unable to send
message to the remote agent," verify that the remote agent is running.
(Use Control Panel, Services to make sure that the Application Response
Agent Proxy is started on that system.)
9. On the client system, start the application to monitor.
10. Now BT Marker and the target application are running simultaneously. You
can move between them to make annotations and perform transactions.
11. Perform the desired transactions, using BT Marker to annotate significant
steps within each transaction.
12. For example, before selecting File, New to create a new document in the
application, in the Annotation field of BT Marker, you might enter text such
as the following: Create document: File, New.
13. Then click Annotate, and use the application to perform the action.
14. In the event log, this text appears just before the event information about
that part of the transaction. When you later look at the event log in BT
Studio, the annotations appear in a column of the events pane.
15. Before saving the new document, you might use BT Marker again to add
this note:
Create document: File > Save.
16. Pause for about 30 seconds after performing each step of the transaction
to allow the application to complete processing.
17. When you have finished performing the desired transactions, exit the
application and BT Marker.
