...

  • Default timeout (milliseconds): Allows you to enter the length of delay (in milliseconds) after which SOAtest should consider your FTP, telnet, or HTTP requests to be “timed out.” The default is 30000 milliseconds.
  • Report each duplicate error that occurs on the same line: Tells SOAtest to show only the first instance of duplicate errors that occur for the same line of code.
  • Reset Cookies: Allows you to clear the current global cookies so that next HTTP invocations start a new session.
  • Enable the Automatically backup project files option and specify a file size threshold for .tst and/or .pva files in the Warn on file size large than (MB) field to be notified when the size of the file exceeds the threshold. You can then reduce the size (and prevent performance problems) by dividing it into smaller files.

OpenID Connect

The OpenID Connect panels allows you to configure the application to authenticate users via your OpenID Connect server.

  1. Go to Parasoft > Preferences and select OpenID Connect.

Azure Active Directory users: Enter the redirect URL configured above under "Mobile and desktop applications" in Azure AD.

Proxy Settings

The Proxy panel controls how SOAtest and/or Virtualize works with proxy servers. It does not control the separate intermediary proxy used for web scenarios (for details on this other proxy, seeProxy Configuration Details). 

...

The Scripting panel allows you to specify properties used for custom scripts.

    • Java: For Java, you can specify the Java home directory and the path to the javac compiler. You need to specify these parameters if you want to compile Java methods in the editor.   

      Note
      titleNote

      The javac compiler is not included.

      • Java home: Specifies the Java installation directory.
      • Javac classpath: Specifies the Java classpath.
    • JavaScript: If you create scripts using
    • Jython or
    • JavaScript, you can specify a script template in the Script Template field.
      • Script Template: Whatever code is specified in this field will be used as the default code for inlined scripting in the language with which the field is associated. This is primarily useful for setting default inputs and common
    • global variables. Script templates apply to scripts used in Extension tools; they do not apply to JavaScript that runs in a browser context.
      • global variables. Script templates apply to scripts used in Extension tools; they do not apply to JavaScript that runs in a browser context.

    • Jython: If you are using Jython scripts, you can specify the Jython Path variable. Jython scripting support can be used without setting this variable by specifying a script template in the Script Template field.

      • Jython Path: Specifies a list of directories to search for python modules that are not already included with Jython. Separate multiple directory paths using the OS default path separator (";" for Windows and ":" for Linux and macOS). If you set the Jython path then you need to restart SOAtest or Virtualize for the change to take effect.
      • Script Template: Code specified in this field sets a default template for Jython scripts used in the tool.

  • Jython: For Jython, you can specify the jython.home and jython.path variables. Both variables are used to locate Jython modules. Jython code that does not import any Jython modules can use the Jython scripting support without setting either variable. If you set the jython.home and jython.path variables, you need to restart SOAtest or Virtualize before the changes will take effect.

  • Jython Home: Specifies the Jython installation directory. This must be a single directory. Use a forward slash (/) or backslash (\) to escape special characters.
  • Jython Path: Used to add to your path modules that are not in your jython.home/Lib directory. Multiple paths can be listed. Use a forward slash (/) or backslash (\) to escape special characters.
    • Script Template: Jython code that does not import any Jython modules can use the Jython scripting support without setting either the jython.home or jython.path.

    • Timeout Settings: Specify how many minutes SOAtest or Virtualize should wait before attempting to stop an unresponsive script and log an error message.

Security Settings

You can configure default security settings for clients and Responders used in your projects. In most cases, the security settings can be overridden by configurations set locally in your suites:

...

  1. Click the Add button beneath the OASIS XML Catalog Locations section of the Schema Locations tab. The Location dialog box displays.
  2. Type in the OASIS XML Catalog Location or Browse to it by clicking the Browse button.
  3. Click OK after you have added all of the necessary locations.

Settings

There are two ways to define localsettings settings files:

  • Enter them manually in a simple text file simple text file. There are no name or location requirements. Each local setting should be entered in a single line.
  • Export your GUI preferences, then adjust or extend them as needed. To export, choose Parasoft> Preferences, select Parasoft (the root element in the left tree), click the Share link, specify which settings you want to export.

Localsettings Settings files can specify the following settings.

...

SettingPurpose
server.startupDetermines whether the server is automatically started upon Virtualize startup.
server.port.httpSpecifies the port that the Virtualize Server uses for HTTP.
server.port.httpsSpecifies the port that the Virtualize Server uses for HTTPS.
server.port.monitoringSpecifies the port that the Virtualize Server uses for monitoring.
system.properties.class-
path=[path1];[path2];[path3] ...

Specifies which jar files and class folders are in the classpath. 

For example: system.properties.classpath=C\:\\myjars\\myLib1.jar;C\:\\myjar s\\myLib2.jar

scripting.timeout.minutesSpecifies the number of minutes after which Virtualize will attempt to stop an unresponsive script and log an error message.
scripting.jython.homeSpecifies the Jython installation directory. This must be a single directory.scripting.jython.pathUsed to add to your path a list of directories to search for python modules that are not in your jython.home/Lib directory. already included with Jython. Multiple paths can be listed using the OS default path separator (";" for Windows and ":" for Linux and macOS).
parasoft.event.monitoring.broker.portSpecifies the port number for the event monitor. Add this setting to the JVM arguments. If you don't set this property, port 9617 is used by default. If the default number is being used by another application, the even monitor will scan for open ports incrementally starting with the default.
parasoft.server.statistics.broker.portSpecifies the port number for the server statistics collector. Add this setting to the JVM arguments. If you don't set this property, port 9618 is used by default. If the default number is being used by another application, the statistics broker will scan for open ports incrementally starting with the default.
parasoft.mq.environment.ccsidSpecifies a CCSID to connect ot he MQ queue manager. Contact your MQ administrator for additional information.
datasources.jdbc.classpath=[path1];[path2];[path3] ...

Specifies the location of JDBC driver jar files and class folders.

Special characters (spaces, slashes, colons, etc.) must be escaped; for instance:

%20 = SPACE

%3A = :

%5C = \

%7B = {

%7D = }

%24 = $

If listing multiple jars, use \n as a delimiter.

For example,
C:\temp\with
space\${example}\jar.jar

becomes

C%3A%5Ctemp%5Cwith%20space%5C$2 4%7Bexample%7D%5Cjar.jar\n

traffic.wizard.xpath.ignores

Lets you globally indicate that you want certain values (such as times-tamps) ignored whenever:

  • you are creating parameterized .pvas from traffic, and
  • request body correlations are configured automatically.

Exclusions are specified in the format

traffic.wizard.xpath.ignores=[element name 1]:[value pattern 1];[element name 2]:[value pattern 2];[element name 3]:[value pattern 3]

For example:

traffic.wizard.xpath.ignores=*:[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}T[0-9]{2}:[0- 9]{2}:[0-9]{2}([.][0-9]{1,3})?(([+-][0-9]{2}:[0- 9]{2})|Z)?;uuid:[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}

Note that when the backslash character (\) is used in the regular expression, it needs to be escaped.  For example, the regex [\d], which represents a single digit, would be entered as  [\\d].

...

SettingPurpose
dtp.autoconfig=true|false

Enables autoconfiguration with Parasoft Test settings stored on the DTP server.

Default: false

dtp.enabled=true|false

Determines whether the current Parasoft Test product is connected to DTP.

Default: false

dtp.server=[host]Specifies the host name of the DTP server.
dtp.port=[port]Specifies the DTP server port.
console.verbosity.level=low|normal|high

Specifies the verbosity level for the Console view. Available settings are:

low: Configures the Console view to show errors and basic information about the current step’s name and status (done, failed, up-to-date).

normal: Also shows command lines and issues reported during test and analysis.

high: Also shows warnings.

parallel.mode=Manual|Auto|Disabled

Determines which of the following modes is active:

  • Auto: Allows the product to control parallel processing settings.
  • Manual: Allows you to manually configure parallel processing settings to suit your specific needs.
  • Disabled: Configures the product to use only one of the available CPUs.
parallel.max_threads=<number>

Specifies the maximum number of  parallel threads that can be executed simultaneously. The actual number of parallel threads is determined based on the number of CPUs, available memory, and license settings.

parallel.free_memory_limit=<percentage>Specifies the amount of memory that should be kept free in low memory conditions (expressed as a percentage of the total memory available for the application). This is used to ensure that free memory is available for other processes.
parallel.no_memory_limit=true|falseIndicates that you do not want to place any restrictions (beyond existing system limitations) on the memory available to the product.
tasks.clear=true|falseClears existing tasks upon startup in cli mode. This prevents excessive time being spent "loading existing results." The default is true.
security.trust.all.certificates=true|falseTells Virtualize that you want it to accept any certificate. This is useful if you want to load pages whose certificates are not "trusted."
security.use.default.java.cacerts=true|falseTells Virtualize that you want it to accept only certificates from the standard list of Java trusted certificate vendors.

Manually Adding the License to

...

Setttings

To add or change license settings via settings vialocalsettings:

  1. If you will be using a custom edition license, define the appropriate license features in the localsettings settings as follows:
    [product].license.custom_edition_features= All enabled features
    Note that license feature settings apply only to custom edition licenses.

  2. Define the main license settings in the localsettings settings as follows:

    Code Block
    virtualize.license.network.edition= Type of license edition 
virtualize.license.use_network= Value (true or false) 
license.network.host= Host name
license.network.port= Port number

    If your server uses the HTTPS protocol, prepend https:// to the hostname.

Here are several examples of properly-configured license settings in localsettings settings file:
