Activating secure storage of dataset passwords

You can store the encrypted dataset passwords in the Eclipse secure storage location, so that when you run the tests from the command line, IBM® DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance) automatically uses the password and completes the test run.

You must have created an encrypted dataset. See Encrypting a dataset column.
  1. Open Test Performance.
  2. Click Window > Preferences > Test > Test Execution > Automation Security.
  3. Select the Activate Secure Storage Support for Encrypted Datasets check box.
    The password is storing in the Eclipse secure storage. You must not share the computer's login credentials with others.
  4. Click Add, and then select the encrypted dataset from the project.
  5. Click OK.
    The Enter Password dialog is displayed.
  6. Enter the password that you used while encrypting the dataset, and then click OK.
You have added the password of the encrypted dataset in Test Performance.
You can run the tests from CLI. See Running a test or schedule from a command line.

When you run the tests from the command line, the test runs completes without the need to specify the password. If another user runs the same tests with encrypted datasets, the dataset password must be entered for the tests to run successfully.
