    Hi amit_2006 ! There's been a lot of suggestions in this thread. I think that contacting support directly is the best next step if you are still facing this. This definitely needs deeper investigation. The Community would be very thankful if you post the final solution in this thread.

Need to see the rest of the code.

How is the variable link mapped?

        Hi,

         

        As per screenshot, the problem occurred within your custom UPN script extension.

        You need to debug it in order to understand what went wrong.

    as per Marsha_R could be a timing error.

    to check you may add 

    aqUtils.Delay(ms, Str)

    just before "Set link... " ( just to confirm ...adding delays are not a good practice )

     

    also in your code 

    valArray = Array(linkText,"Cell")

    linktext is not withing " " ....is it purposely?

     

    and when you post some codes, write it as code, then it's easy to read & figure-out problems

      Thank Team for giving valuable advice .next time i would mentioned as code as per below advice.

      I have my pain point .I didn't change any code and gave to other team then they confirmed 2-3 times as working fine and also it was working fine same code last 2 days before.I am suddenly surprise why code is not working .

      When i used wait method but some time it work but some time it is giving same error.When i used other property (isObject) then it is working without delay but I need to make so many changes from exists property to 'isObject(WinparentObj)

      Please help me to understand why same code is working fine in other team workstation every time for running same application without any code changes but it is not working fine any time now and need to make so many changes from 'Exists' property to 'isObjects(WinparentObj)

      Thank you for giving quick response always

      Thanks Amit G

        The tests always run well on the machine where they are developed because that's where they get fine tuned.  Most people have to adjust their tests even if just a little bit when they move to another machine.  Sometimes it happens like it did to you that you have to adjust more than a little.  The software can't possibly be written to handle all the combinations of machines that we have, but it will run well on most and we have to do a little work to keep it portable in our own labs.

         

        There is one other thing you can try which is easier than changing a lot of code.  You can make a change in the Project Properties setting for Delay between events.  This slows down the test step by step so it's not running as fast as it possibly can and it allows a little more time for the objects to be detectable.  I would set it to a large number first so you can see it work and then back the number down so you're waiting long enough but not too long.
