Opening Keywords from Silk Central

To open a keyword in Silk Test Workbench from Silk Central, you can click on the icon to the left of the name of a keyword in Silk Central. This opens the asset that implements the keyword in Silk Test Workbench.

If no instance of Silk Test Workbench is open, you have to enter your username and password or use Windows authentication. Silk Test Workbench creates a DSN and auto-selects it in the Login dialog. The database connection information for the database, from which the keyword was originally uploaded to Silk Central, is included.

If an instance of Silk Test Workbench is open, and the instance is connected to the database, from which the keyword was originally uploaded to Silk Central, the keyword is opened in this instance.

Note: If the keyword library was originally uploaded to Silk Central from Silk Test Workbench 16.0, you have to re-upload the library before you open the keyword in Silk Test Workbench. If you do not reload the library, you might experience unexpected behavior when using the keyword.
