Before you migrate existing Classic Agent scripts to the Open Agent, review the Agent Options listed below to determine if any additional action is required to facilitate the migration.
| Classic Agent Option | Action for Open Agent |
|---|---|
| OPT_AGENT_CLICKS_ONLY |
Option not needed. Note: Use
OPT_REPLAY_MODE for switching between high-level (API) clicks and low-level clicks.
|
| OPT_CLOSE_MENU_NAME | Not supported by Open Agent. |
| OPT_COMPATIBLE_TAGS | Option not needed. |
| OPT_COMPRESS_WHITESPACE | Not supported by Open Agent. |
| OPT_DROPDOWN_PICK_BEFORE_GET | Option not needed. The Open Agent performs this action by default during replay. |
| OPT_EXTENSIONS | Option not needed. |
| OPT_GET_MULTITEXT_KEEP_EMPTY_LINES | Not supported by Open Agent. |
| OPT_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT | Not supported by Open Agent. |
| OPT_MENU_INVOKE_POPUP | No action. Pop-up menu handling using the Open Agent does not need such an option. |
| OPT_MENU_PICK_BEFORE_GET | Option not needed. |
| OPT_NO_ICONIC_MESSAGE_BOXES | Option not needed. |
| OPT_PLAY_MODE | Option not needed. |
| OPT_RADIO_LIST | Open Agent always sees RadioList items as individual objects. |
| OPT_REL1_CLASS_LIBRARY | Obsolete option. |
| OPT_REQUIRE_ACTIVE | Use the option OPT_ENSURE_ACTIVE instead. |
| OPT_SCROLL_INTO_VIEW | Option not needed. Open Agent only requires scrolling into view for low-level replay. By default, high-level replay is used, so no scrolling needs to be performed. However, CaptureBitmap never scrolls an object into view. |
| OPT_SET_TARGET_MACHINE | Option not needed. |
| OPT_SHOW_OUT_OF_VIEW | Option not needed. Out-of-view objects are always recognized. |
| OPT_TEXT_NEW_LINE | Option not needed. The Open Agent always uses Enter to type a new line. |

| OPT_TRAP_FAULTS | Fault trap is no longer active. |
| OPT_TRAP_FAULTS_FLAGS | Fault trap is no longer active. |
| OPT_TRIM_ITEM_SPACE | Option not needed. If required, use a * wildcard instead. |
| OPT_USE_ANSICALL | Not supported by Open Agent. |
| OPT_USE_SILKBEAN | SilkBean is not supported on the Open Agent. |
| OPT_VERIFY_APPREADY | Option not needed. The Open Agent performs this action by default. |
| OPT_VERIFY_CLOSED | Option not needed. The Open Agent performs this action by default. |
| OPT_VERIFY_COORD | Option not needed. The Open Agent does not typically check for native input in order to allow clicking outside of an object. |
| OPT_VERIFY_CTRLTYPE | Option not needed. |
| OPT_VERIFY_EXPOSED | Option not needed. The Open Agent performs this action when it sets a window to active. OPT_ENSURE_ACTIVE_OBJECT_DEF should yield the same result. |
