Hi,
We have to call around 1500-2000 External Resuable Actions in a single script.
So just wanted to know is there any limit of External Actions?
Please share your experiences
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Not sure, but it's 255 I guess. Even QTP starts working weirdly after attaching 40+ external actions. I guess the external action limit willbe due to XLS limit. (255 Sheets in a workbook).

Are you using Shared Object Repository or Local? also implementation is with QC or without QC?

In our case, we don't use QC.

Each External Action has its local repository and for this script we are not using QC.
Here is the response I got grom HP Support:
"Regarding your query, please note that there is no limitations for external actions for a script to handle.
However, the performance could slightly be degraded as QTP has to fetch the data from these many actions. "
Thanks...

I would never go for such approach for following reason
- Having 1000+ actions in the same script will make maintenance difficult as you can only select action from list box
- If the script somehow gets corrupted it might mess up so many scripts
- Every Action has an overhead of DataTable, ObjectRepository.mdb etc...A blank Action with no code has 197KB of size. So having 1000+ action means your script size will go over 197MB just w/o any code. This is not at all a reasonable.
I would rather go for Function in Library file to improve performance and make maintenance easier
