QTP & IE9: Record no scripts in SAP Web, but Object Spy could recognize element

Question

I am facing a weird problem using QTP (Version 11), that when I did some actions in the web, no scripts will be recorded, while I could be able to recognize elements in the web. i.e. when I click a button "set up", no script will be recorded in the "Expert View", while when I use "Object Spy" to recognize that button, I could be able to get it.

It is so weird because QTP is able to record on other web pages, could it result from the settings of my target server?

The patches I installed are QTP_00699,QTPWEB_00101, QTPWEB_00078, and I am using IE9, with QTP version 11.

-- Updated: When the "Record and Run Settings" are set to open a specific url, I could get the scripts for log in the system, while after that, no script will be recorded, although I could still get the web element by "Object Spy".

I could be able to implement a working script just using Object Spy, but I really want to know the reason why "Record" does not work as expected.

Thanks so much in advance.

We had similar issues. Make sure you have the following patches installed in this order:

1. QTPWEB_00090
2. QTPSAP_00012
3. QTPSAP_00037
4. QTPSAP_00044

Also, when using ICWeb/CRM, make sure you append the suffix to your URL: "?sap-testmode=X")
