You can modify the logical name or the physical description of an object in a GUI map file using the GUI Map Editor.

While recording a script, WinRunner learns objects and windows by itself. This is actually stored into the temporary GUI Map file. We can specify whether we have to load this temporary GUI Map file should be loaded each time in the General Options.

When we load a GUI Map file, the information about the windows and the objects with their logical names and physical description are loaded into memory. So when the WinRunner executes a script on a particular window, it can identify the objects using this information loaded in the memory.

WinRunner fails to identify an object in a GUI due to various reasons. i. The object is not a standard windows object. ii. If the browser used is not compatible with the WinRunner version, GUI Map Editor will not be able to learn any of the objects displayed in the browser window.

If we are using a single GUI Map file for the entire AUT then the memory used by the GUI Map may be much high. If there is any change in the object being learned then WinRunner will not be able to recognize the object, as it is not in the GUI Map file loaded in the memory. So we will have to learn the object again and update the GUI File and reload it.

You can manually add the logical and physical description in GUI Map if winrunner is not recognizing it or you have not installed/selected the required add-in.If MSW_id is changing then use regular expression to identify varying labels.
