Mass target change provides the ability to change the target of all the messages or browser actions in a test clip at once.

Mass target change can be useful when two target sites are identical (e.g. from the root folder of the test site) but have changed physical location.

For example, a test environment target site that has changed physical location. For example, a test site that was on server1.yourhost.com moved to server2.yourhost.com. Similarly, mass target change can be used to re-adapt test clips between target sites on the same LAN.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the target to change to exists before using the Mass Target Change command in the Clip Editor.

You can create a new target via the Central list > Targets. Refer to Target for an overview.

To mass change the target for a test clip:

1. In the Central list, select Test Clips, then locate and double-click the test clip to open it.

The Test Clips list shows the current Test Clips in the system.

1. On the Clip Editor toolbar, toggle from Icon view to List view.

Target names per clip element are more easily identified in List view. Note that the Target Name column shows each item's target.

3. With the Messages/Actions tab active in lower pane, right-click the target and select the Mass Target Change command fromn the context menu. The Mass Target Change dialog box appears.

4. Find the replacement target in the list and then click OK

The target is replaced for the test clip.
