Error-27995:Requested link(“Text=ABC") not found

The requested link was not found in the page received from the server. Possible reasons can be:

 (i) The current or a previous HTML page was changed after the script had been recorded.

 (ii) A previous request navigated to a wrong page or failed.

 (iii) One or more web_link arguments are missing or incorrect (especially for manually coded, parameterized, or correlated functions).

 (iv)  The server returned an unexpected page (e.g., under excessive load).

SOLUTIONS:

If the current or previous HTML page was changed, look for the correct value of the inner text and change it in the script.

If your snapshots and extended log are disabled, enable them and run the script again.

(i) To enable Snapshots: Select Tools > General Options > Correlation, and check the Save correlation information during replay box.

(ii) To enable Extended Log: Select Run-time Settings > General: Log, and check Enable logging, Always send messages, Extended log, Data returned by server, Advanced trace.

Compare the record and replay snapshots for each step in the script from the beginning, and locate the first difference. If you identify a difference in the snapshots, locate the corresponding HTTP request in both the recording log and the extended log. Compare the requests and, if they are different, have the replay issue exactly the same request. This can be done, for example, by adding web_add_header (for adding missing headers or adjusting existing ones), web_remove_auto_header (for removing extra headers), and web_add_cookie (for missing cookies).

If some correlation is missing, (e.g., the recording and replay runs have different session IDs), use the correlation to locate and handle such cases.
