    Merging your name mapping could help, yes.  Be sure and keep a copy of each individual one in case you want to start over.

     

    Once you are working from the same mapping, if you still get the object not found errors, then the easiest thing to check is to see if it's a timing issue.  You may need to put some Wait or Delay messages in to make the test work amongst many machines.  

     

    Let us know what happens after the name mapping merge and we can go from there.

Thanks for the reply!. Added delays to the script. But still same error. The mapped object is not found or recognized when the name mapping files are merged. Should I re-map or spy the object which is not found and add it?

    Spy the object and determine what the property differences are.  Once you determine the property differences - you will be able to make an informed decision if adding a new object to the namemapping files or modifying the current properties of an object already in the namemapping files is the correct response.
