Instead of using the default
launch configuration, you can specify the file name for the execution
results, the name of the folder for the execution results, and, for
a test, the number of users.
About this task
You generally run a
Schedule by right-clicking
it and selecting or . However, you should set a launch configuration when:
- You want to specify a name for the execution results, or you want them in a separate
folder.
- You plan to run a test outside of a Schedule, and
you want to run the test with more than one user.
- You want the launch configuration to appear in your toolbar menu.
- You want the launch configuration to be available to other users.
Procedure
To set a launch configuration:
- In the Test Navigator, expand the project until you locate
the schedule or test.
- Right-click the schedule or test, and then click . If the Perspectives page is displayed, keep the defaults.
- In the Configurations area on the left, click VU Schedule or Rate Schedule, and then click
New. A test configuration, initially named New_configuration, is
created. Typically, you supply a configuration name that is similar to the schedule name.
At this
point, you can run the schedule if you click Run. However, you will not have
created a meaningful configuration.
- Click the Test Logs tab and check the default settings. To change the
default settings, clear the Use defaults check box and type a file name for
the execution results. Performance Tester appends a time stamp to this name. To overwrite the file
each time that you run the configuration, select the Override existing test
log check box.
- Click the Common tab to inspect
or modify your run preferences.
- In Save as, select one of the following options:

- Verify that Launch in background is selected. If you do not run the configuration in the background,
you cannot do anything in Eclipse until it finishes running the configuration.
- Click Apply, and then click Run to run the configured schedule or test, or click Close to save the configuration and run it later.
