Are there any special difficulties in monitoring a Microsoft Dynamics application?

As it turns out we have been working with some customers who are monitoring Microsoft Dynamics applications and it appears that eValid can handle that quite well.

The only limitation we've seen so far is that Microsoft Dynamics tends to open sub-windows where the name is constant (and therefore unique to the DeskTop). This means that two copies of the same script will not work independently -- the second one is likely to try to open the same named window that the first one has already opened. Such testing has to either be serialized manually, or must use the Lock/Unlock commands to time-divide the DeskTop.

Microsoft Dynamics does, in some cases that we have found, reassign ID tags dynamically, and this means that the adaptive playback feature may not work every time. To make a script for monitoring that will ignore the "dynamic" aspects of how the page changes by relying on structural aspects of pages. We've found this to be straightforward to do on typical Microsoft Dynamics applications.
