SOAtest - Virtualize Co-Installation

When Parasoft SOAtest and Parasoft Virtualize are installed on the same machine, SOAtest and Virtualize must have an identical version number. This ensures compatibility between both products. 

If you are updating an existing installation (including updating from a service pack), be sure to update both products at the same time.

Recommended

We also recommend configuring the osgi.bundlefile.limit property to 0 (unlimited) for Windows or 300 for Linux and macOS when starting Eclipse. For example:

Code Block
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=0

The osgi.bundlefile.limit property limits the number of JAR files the Eclipse framework will keep open. In Eclipse 3.5 and later, this property defaults to 100, which may be too low and result in performance issues. Setting the property manually overrides the default setting. If you experience crashes or a "Too many open files" exception after setting the property to the recommended values, try setting the property to a lower limit.

...

When installing Parasoft SOAtest from  from the p2 update site on Windows, you should it is necessary to run the .bat script named named soatest_install.bat as an administratoradministration. The script is installed into the eclipse directory  directory of the Eclipse installation into which you installed the update site. It script registers .dll files that are needed for web functional testing on Internet Explorer. The script executes tasks that are normally completed by the Parasoft installers, but are not supported by the p2 update site. Running the script as an administrator allows it to install the Parasoft certificate for the local machine. If you are not able to run this script as an administrator, some components (such as browser playback) will not be usable. However, you can resolve this issue for the current user by manually installing the certificate. After the script has been run, double-click the parasoft.cer certificate file found in <eclipse_directory>\plugins\com.parasoft.ptest.libs.web_<ver>\root\lib, then click Install Certificate. Even without administrator privileges, you should still be able to install it for the current user. Once the certificate has been placed in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" certificate store, those components will work for the user. This script must be run as administrator.
