Sometimes you will get a message as "Information cannot be retrieved for the selected test object." when you are trying to edit/add shared object repository from Object Repository Manager in UFT/QTP.
It is quite annoying if you have lot of objects added in your shared OR and when you get such message. Once you receive this message in OR you can't add/modify any objects. It throws an error while saving OR.
Remember one thing, there is no direct solution to fix this. Following are few work around options. But some times these work around options too doesn't work. It happened for me too and Micro Focus team didn't provide any fix for this other than providing work around options.
1st Option:
Open the OR in the object repository manager.
Click on file->Export to XML. Save this xml file on the computer.
Close the object repository manager and open it again.
Click on File->Import from xml and import the XML you have just created.
Click on File->Save as to save this imported data as .tsr file.
Open the object repository comparison tool (Tools-> Object repository Comparison tool) and compare the new and the old repository. They should be same.
This newly create OR should resolve the issues.
2nd Option:
Create new empty OR and save it
Open corrupted repository in another window in OR Manager
copy objects whichever you need from corrupted OR to new OR
3rd Option:
Though this is not the option. you can choose this option if you have failed in above 2 options
Create Object Repository again from beginning :)
4th Option:
Keep maintaining back ups while you are creating OR. whenever you
Micro Focus team is aware about this defect in their product.
