This topic explains how you can specify localsettings to control options for reporting, task assignment, licensing, and more. Localsettings can be used to share preferences across a team as well as to apply different groups of settings to different projects and test runs.

Sections include:

About Localsettings

Localsettings can control report settings, Parasoft Concerto settings, error authorship settings, Team Server settings, and more. If a parameter is specified in this file and there is an equivalent parameter in the GUI’s Preferences panel (available from Parasoft> Preferences), the parameter set in this file will override the related parameter specified from the GUI.

Localsettings can be used to:

Enter GUI-specified and manually-specified settings into Parasoft Concerto, which centralizes preference distribution and updating across the team.
Configure and use different setting configurations for different projects.
Extend or override team-wide settings as needed (for example, for settings that involve local paths).
Adjust settings without having to open the GUI.

Defining Localsettings

There are two ways to define localsettings:

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 as described in Exporting GUI Preferences to a localsettings File then adjust or extend them as needed.

Using Variables in Localsettings

For a list of variables that can be used in reports, e-mail, Parasoft Report Center, Team Server, and license settings, see Using Variables in Preference Settings.

Specifying Which Localsettings to Use

Localsettings can be stored on Parasoft Concerto (where they are automatically applied to connected Parasoft Test installations) or in a local file (where they can be specified from the command line).

Multiple layers of localsettings can be active for a single test run.

For details on how to store and apply localsettings, see C++test Configuration Overview.

Localsettings Notes

Each setting should be entered on a single line.
If a parameter is specified in localsettings, it will override the related parameter specified from the GUI. If a parameter is not specified in localsettings, the parameter specified in the GUI will be used.
If you are importing preferences from localsettings specified on Concerto and you want to override these settings from the GUI, you can clear the Use Concerto settings option on the appropriate page, then manually configure the settings.
If any localsettings problems are detected during a test run, details will be reported in the command line output.
If you are running cli mode from a developer/tester desktop (as opposed to from a Server machine), use the tasks.clear=false option to ensure that your results from previous runs are preserved.

Available Settings

Reporting Settings

Setting	Purpose
`build.id`	Specifies a build identifier used to label results. It may be unique for each build but may also label more than one test sessions that were executed during a specified build. Default: build-yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
`report.active_rules=true\|false`	Determines if the reports contain a list of the rules that were enabled for the test. Default: false
`report.archive=true\|false`	Enables the generation of an additional compressed archive (.zip) file in the specified report location. The ZIP file contains all the files generated to build the report. This option can generate an archive for any report format (e.g., HTML, CSV, PDF, etc.). By generating an archive, you can also perform custom transformations of the report because all of the elements are generated to the specified destination folder. Default: false

C/C++test Project Creation and Import Settings

Note that any C/C++test options for creating or importing projects are valid only when creating or importing the project. They are ignored during subsequent runs.

Settings for Creating BDF-Based Projects

Option	Description
`bdf.import.location=[WORKSPACE\|BDF_LOC\|<path>]`	You can specify an external location, or use the keyword WORKSPACE. If WORKSPACE is used, projects will be created in subdirectories within the workspace directory. If BDF_LOC is used and one project will be created, then it will be created in the exact location as the bdf file. If more then one project will be created, then the projects will be created in subdirectories within the bdf file location. Those subdirectories will be named with corresponding projects names. If an external path is specified, then the project will be created in the specified location. WORKSPACE is the default. For details on the available project creation options and their impacts, see the C++test User’s Guide.
`bdf.import.pathvar.enabled=[true\|false]`	Specifies if Path Variables should be used in linked folders that will be created in the new projects. The default is false.
`bdf.import.pathvar.name=<name>`	Specifies the name of the Path Variable (if Path Variables are used, per the bdf.import.pathvar.enabled property). The default Path Variable name is DEVEL_ROOT_DIR.
`bdf.import.pathvar.value=<path>`	Specifies the value of the Path Variable (if Path Variables are used, per the bdf.import.pathvar.enabled property). The default value is the most common root directory for all linked folders.
`bdf.import.compiler.family=<compiler_family>`	Specifies what compiler family will be used (for example, `vc_6_0, vc_7_0, vc_7_1, vc_8_0, gcc_2_9, gcc_3_2, gcc_3_3, gcc_3_4, ghs_4_0`). For a custom compiler, you need to use the custom compiler family identifier, which is the name of the directory containing gui.properties, c.psrc and cpp.psrc files). If this property is not specified, the default values will be used.
`bdf.import.c.compiler.exec=<exec>`	Specifies the executable of the C compiler that will be used in the created project.
`bdf.import.cpp.compiler.exec=<exec>`	Specifies the executable of the C++ compiler that will be used in the created project.
`bdf.import.linker.exec=<exec>`	Specifies the executable of the linker that will be used in the created project.
`bdf.import.project.<proj_name>=dir1;dir2;dir3`	Specifies the set of folders to link for the project prj_name. Folders should be specified as a value list of folder paths, separated with semicolons.

Settings for Importing Green Hills .gpj Projects

Setting	Purpose
`gpj.import.location=WORKSPACE\|ORIG\|<path>`	Specifies the location of the imported projects. If WORKSPACE is used, then the project will be created in workspace. If ORIG is used, then the project will be created in the .gpj project location. If an external path is specified, then the project will be created in the specified location. The default value is WORKSPACE.
`gpj.import.linked=true\|false`	Specifies whether the .gpj project source folders are linked into the created Eclipse project. The default value is true.
`gpj.import.subdirs=true\|false`	Applicable when `gpj.import.location=<path>` Specifies whether the project(s) are imported into subdirectories or directly into the specified location. If you want the project(s) imported into subdirectories created in the specified external location, use true. If you are importing only one project and you want it imported directly into the specified external location, use false. The default value is true (subfolders are created for each project imported into in external location).
`gpj.import.pathvar.enabled=true\|false`	Specifies if path variables should be used when creating linked directories (if the above option is set to true). The default value is false.
`gpj.import.pathvar.name=<name>`	Specifies the path variable name. The default value will be used unless you specify a path variable name that points to a different location (for instance, DEVEL_ROOT_DIR). If a project with the specified name is already defined in the Eclipse workspace and it points to a different location than the value passed in the `gpj.import.pathvar.location` property, then Path Variable will not be used; full paths will be used instead. Also the default value of `gpjimport.pathvar.name` will always be DEVEL_ROOT_DIR if the `gpjimport.pathvar.name` property is not specified. If this property is specified with some `<name>`, then that `<name>` will be used as the Path Variable name. The default value is DEVEL_ROOT_DIR.
`gpj.import.pathvar.value=<path>`	Specifies the path variable value. By default, C++test calculates the common root for all linked folders.
`gpj.import.compiler.family=name`	Specifies the compiler family (compiler ID)
`gpj.import.c.compiler.exec=name`	Specifies the C compiler executable
`gpj.import.cpp.compiler.exec=name`	Specifies the C++ compiler executable
`gpj.import.linker.exec=name`	Specifies the linker executable

Settings for Importing Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 .dsp Projects

Setting	Purpose
`dsp.import.location=WORKSPACE\|DSP_LOC\|<path>`	Specifies the location of the imported projects. If WORKSPACE is used, then the project will be created in workspace. If DSP_LOC is used, then the project will be created in the .dsp project location. If an external path is specified, then the project will be created in the specified location. The default value is WORKSPACE.
`dsp.import.linked=true\|false`	Specifies whether the .dsp project source folders are linked into the created Eclipse project. The default value is true.
`dsp.import.subdirs=true\|false`	Applicable when `dsp.import.location=<path>` Specifies whether the project(s) are imported into subdirectories or directly into the specified location. If you want the project(s) imported into subdirectories created in the specified external location, use true. If you are importing only one project and you want it imported directly into the specified external location, use false. The default value is true (subfolders are created for each project imported into in external location).
`dsp.import.pathvar.enabled=true\|false`	Specifies if path variables should be used when creating linked directories (if the above option is set to true). The default value is false.
`dsp.import.pathvar.name=<name>`	Specifies the path variable name. The default value will be used unless you specify a path variable name that points to a different location (for instance, DEVEL_ROOT_DIR). If a project with the specified name is already defined in the Eclipse work-space and it points to a different location than the value passed in the `dsp.import.pathvar.location` property, then Path Variable will not be used; full paths will be used instead. Also the default value of `dsp.import.pathvar.name` will always be DEVEL_ROOT_DIR if the `dsp.import.pathvar.name` property is not specified. If this property is specified with some `<name>`, then that `<name>` will be used as the Path Variable name. The default value is DEVEL_ROOT_DIR.
`dsp.import.pathvar.location=<loc>`	Specifies what location the path variable points to. By default, the automatically-generated location will be used. This location is the common root location for all linked directories. If it is not possible to find a common location (for example because .dsp projects are on multiple drives) or the specified location cannot be used, then the path variable will not be used. Full paths will be used instead. For example, assume you have the following paths: path1: c:\a\b\c\proj1 path2: c:\a\b\proj2 The common root location would be c:\a\b The default value is automatically-generated.
`dsp.import.config=<name>`	Specifies which .dsp project configuration should be used. If the specified configuration cannot be found in the imported project, then the default configuration will be used. The configuration name can be passed in two ways: <project_name> - <configuration_name> or only <configuration_name>. If more then one project is imported, then only <configuration_name> should be entered. This prompts the wizard to search for that configuration in all projects. The default value is the default from .dsp.

For example, if the folder C:\temp\sources should be linked in an imported project and we have defined the path variable DEVEL_ROOT_DIR with the value C:\temp, then that folder will be linked as DEVEL_ROOT_DIR/sources and the DEVEL_ROOT_DIR path variable will be created in the workspace. If such a variable cannot be used (for example, because its value points to another folder not containing C:\temp\sources folder, it is already defined and has different value, or it has an invalid value), then C:\temp\sources folder will be linked using the full path C:\temp\sources.

Settings for Importing Keil uVision Projects

Setting	Purpose
`uv.import.location=WORKSPACE\|ORIG\|<path>`	Specifies the location of the imported projects. If `WORKSPACE` is used, then the project will be created in workspace.

The default value is `WORKSPACE`.
`uv.import.linked=true\|false`	Specifies whether the uVision project source folders are linked into the created Eclipse project. The default value is `true`.
`uv.import.subdirs=true\|false`	Applicable when `uv.import.location=<path>` Specifies whether the project(s) are imported into subdirectories or directly into the specified location. If you want the project(s) imported into subdirectories created in the specified external location, use `true`. If you are importing only one project and you want it imported directly into the specified external location, use `false`. The default value is true (subfolders are created for each project imported into in external location).
`uv.import.pathvar.enabled=true\|false`	Specifies if path variables should be used when creating linked directories (if the above option is set to true). The default value is false.
`uv.import.pathvar.name=<name>`	Specifies the path variable name. The default value will be used unless you specify a path variable name that points to a different location (for instance, `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR)`. If a project with the specified name is already defined in the Eclipse workspace and it points to a different location than the value passed in the `uv.import.pathvar.location property`, then Path Variable will not be used; full paths will be used instead. Also, the default value of `uv.import.pathvar.name` will always be `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR` if the `uv.import.pathvar.name` property is not specified. If this property is specified with a `<name>`, then that `<name>` will be used as the Path Variable name. The default value is `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR`.
`uv.import.pathvar.value=<path>`	Specifies the path variable value. By default, C++test calculates the common root for all linked folders.

The default value is true (subfolders are created for each project imported into in external location).
`hew.import.pathvar.enabled=true\|false`	Specifies if path variables should be used when creating linked directories (if the above option is set to true). The default value is `false`.
`hew.import.pathvar.name=<name>`	Specifies the path variable name. The default value will be used unless you specify a path variable name that points to a different location (for instance, `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR`). If a project with the specified name is already defined in the Eclipse workspace and it points to a different location than the value passed in the `hew.import.pathvar.location` property, then Path Variable will not be used; full paths will be used instead. Also the default value of `hew.import.pathvar.name` will always be `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR` if the `hew.import.pathvar.name` property is not specified. If this property is specified with a `<name>`, then that `<name>` will be used as the Path Variable name. The default value is `DEVEL_ROOT_DIR`.
