Hi,





Checking the Exists property value of the object directly when the needed object has not been created can lead to the error in the test log. There is a more reliable way: use the WaitAliasChild method and check the existence of the object returned by the method. As a second parameter, you can pass the waiting time:







  var DCIProcess;

  DCIProcess = Aliases.WaitAliasChild("DCI", 1000);

  if (DCIProcess.Exists)

    DCIProcess.frm_FormDci.close();







For more information, refer to the "WaitAliasChild Method" help topic.
