The Test Composer Storage

Using the Test Composer Storage ( Figure:The Manage Composer Items Window), TestComposer —Procedures, Device Sessions, Response Tmplates, MIBs, and CSVTemplates— can be moved in the resource tree, or can be imported or exported out of the resource database.

Figure:The Manage Composer Items Window

The Manage Composer Items window permits you to browse the resources repository, manage resource using cut/copy/paste operations, open resources for editing, and import or export resources.

The functionality implemented by the Test Composer Storage toolbar buttons is given in Table:Manage Resource Window Toolbar Buttons:

Opens the selected resource for editing (if the resource is editable). For example, if the resource is a procedure resource, it is opened in a new TestComposer tab,

As explained in Specifying a Response Templates Folder, device sessions are configured with associated Response Template folders that store templates applicable to that session. When you then add or edit commands for the session, the configured Response Template folder is searched and matching templates become available for the command.
  While working on a script that uses a device session resource, if you edit the templates in the session associated folder, or modify the Test Composer Storage file structure using cut/copy/paste operations, the Response Template resources associated with the session are not updated. Updates only occur when loading the session anew into the script.
  For example, if you edit or move Response Templates to another folder after a script was opened and while script editing is in progress, the script does not take into account that templates have been moved, but displays the same Response Template associations.
