Set a launch configuration

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.

You generally run a schedule by right-clicking it and selecting Run > Run Performance Schedule. 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 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.

To set a launch configuration for a schedule or test:

1. In the Test Navigator, expand the project until you locate the schedule or test.

2. Right-click the schedule or test, and then click Run > Run. If the Perspectives page is displayed, keep the defaults.

3. In the Configurations area on the left, click Performance Schedule, and then click New. A test configuration, initially named New_configuration, is created. Typically, you supply a configuration name 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.

4. Click the Execution Results tab and type a file name for the execution results (the default is the name of the test or schedule). Performance Tester appends a time stamp to this name. Select Override existing Execution Results resource to overwrite the file each time that you run the configuration.

5. If you are setting the configuration for a test that you will run outside a schedule, click the Users tab and enter the number of users to emulate.

6. Click the Common tab to inspect or modify your run preferences.

7. For Type of launch configuration, select one of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Local	This launch configuration is stored in the workspace, and it is not visible to other users.
   Shared	Other users have access to the launch configuration; you are asked where to store it.

8. For Display in favorites menu, select one or more of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Run	The configuration is displayed in your Run toolbar menu. If you select a toolbar menu at all, this is the logical choice for a schedule or test.
   Debug	The launch configuration is displayed in your Debug toolbar menu.
   Profile	The configuration is displayed in your Profile toolbar menu.

9. 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.

10. Click Apply, and then click Run to run the configured schedule or test, or click Close to save the configuration and run it later.
