For details, see Workload Types dialog box.

Note: Not available for Goal-Oriented schedule.

Displays the Controller selected for the test. Click to open the Select Controller dialog box and select a Controller for the test.

For details, see Select a Controller.

Displays the trending settings for the test. Click to open the Trend Settings dialog box, which enables you to configure Performance Center to automatically publish trend results.

For details, see Trend Settings dialog box.

Options. Opens the Test Options dialog box, enabling you to set general scheduler and testing options. For details, see Test Options dialog box.

Select Scripts. Opens the Scripts Tree pane, enabling you to select scripts to run in your test. For details, see Scripts Tree Pane.

View Script. Opens the script selected in the Groups grid in a read-only window.

Versioning:

• As long as a script is checked in, the same version is displayed for all users.

• If you have checked out the script, the script displayed is your own private copy of the script. If you make changes to the script, other users will not be able to see your changes until you check the script back in. Similarly, if other users check in changes to this script, you will not be able to see them as long as you have the script checked out.

• If another user checks out the script, you will still see the latest checked-in version.

Edit Script Parameters. Opens the Parameters dialog box for the selected script, enabling you to modify any parameters that are in the script.

Note: If you edit a parameter, the change will affect every performance test in the current project that uses the script.

For more on script details, see Manage performance tests.

Delete Group. Deletes the selected Vuser group.

Edit Runtime Settings. Opens the Runtime Settings dialog box for the selected script, enabling you to configure its runtime settings.

To use the default settings, click Use Defaults. Vuser scripts have individual runtime setting defaults for VuGen and the Controller, to support the debugging environment of VuGen and the performance testing environment of the Controller.

For details, see Runtime settings.

Duplicate Runtime Settings. Opens the Duplicate Runtime Settings dialog box, enabling you to select a source script, and copy its runtime settings to one or more scripts of the same type.

Edit Command Line. Opens the Command Line dialog box, enabling you to pass arguments to instruct the Controller how to behave. By passing arguments in the command line, you configure test settings without the need to manually define them in the user interface.

• Command line. Type the name and value of the parameter you want to send using the format, <Parameter_Name> <value>.

  Note: For information about the command line parsing functions, or for details about including arguments on a command line, see the LoadRunner Online Function Reference, provided with Virtual User Generator.

• <Command line options>. Select whether to:

  • Apply the command line to the current script only

  • Apply the command line to all the scripts in the test

  • Add the command line to all the scripts in the test

Relative Distribution. Opens the Relative Distribution dialog box, enabling you to provide a ratio by which Performance Center calculates the percentage of Vusers to distribute to each Vuser group. For details, see Relative Distribution dialog box.

View Rendezvous. Opens the Rendezvous dialog box, enabling you to enable or disable rendezvous points, and set policies for how to treat Vusers when they arrive at a rendezvous point. For details, see Rendezvous dialog box.

Duplicate Scheduler Settings. Opens the Duplicate Scheduler Settings dialog box, enabling you to select a source Vuser group, and copy its schedule settings to one or more Vuser group in the test.

For details, see the instructions on how to copy group schedules in Define a schedule for the performance test.

Available for: Schedules by group only.

LG Management. Opens the Load Generator Management dialog box, enabling you to define properties for a load generator. Properties include a location, and other host attributes. You can also create and connect to a terminal session, which enables you to run multiple load generators simultaneously in your performance test. For details, see Load Generator Management dialog box.

Virtual Location Editor. Opens the Virtual Location Editor dialog box, enabling you to emulate probable Network Virtualization effects over your network, thereby creating a more realistic performance test.

For details, see Virtual Location Editor dialog box.

Opens the Configure Service Virtualization dialog box, enabling you to integrate virtualized services into your performance test. For user interface details, see Service Virtualization dialog box.

For details on creating projects that contain virtualized services, see the Service Virtualization User Guide.

For task details on using virtualized services in performance tests, see Add virtualized services to performance tests.

Opens the Analysis Template Options dialog box, enabling you to select a customized template for the analysis report of your performance test.

For task details on using customized analysis templates, see Customize Analysis templates.

Displays the total number of Vusers distributed to all of the Vuser groups participating in the test. For details, see Distribute Vusers among Vuser groups.

Located under each column name. Displays the filter that is currently applied to a column. If the filter box is empty, no filter is currently applied to the column.

Type directly into the box and press Enter to apply the filter.

Displays the Vuser groups participating in the test.

• Vusers. (By Number mode, for Basic or Real-World Schedule) The number of Vusers distributed to the Vuser group. The default value is 1 Vuser.

• % of Target. (For Goal-Oriented Schedule) The percentage of the overall target number of Vusers, hits per second, or transactions per second that is automatically distributed to each Vuser script.

• Group Name. The name of the Vuser group.

• Script Name. The name of the Vuser script associated with the Vuser group. When the group is selected, the script name turns into a link. To select a different script, click the script name and select a script.

• Script Type. The Vuser script type.

• Load Generators. The load generators assigned to the Vuser group.

• Virtual Location. Enabled when setting Network Virtualization per load generator. For details, see Integrate Network Virtualization into a performance test.

• NV Insights. Enables you to include an NV Insights report into your performance test.

  Note:
  • This field is displayed when Network Virtualization is enabled from the Virtual Location Editor. For details, see Integrate Network Virtualization into a performance test.
  • For more details on NV Insights, see NV Insights report.

• Tag. A tag for the Vuser group. Tagging enables categorization and easy identification of Vuser groups.

  Example: If you have finished configuring runtime and Scheduler settings for the group, you could tag the groupDone. For a group that is not yet done, you could tag TODO.

• Drag and drop one or more scripts from the tree into the Groups pane or select the scripts and click .

  Tip: You can select whole folders of scripts, or select multiple scripts while holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.

• To refresh the Scripts tree, click .

• To filter the Scripts tree by script or script folder name, type the name of a script (or part of the name) in the search box. Performance Center displays all scripts and/or folders that contain the search string.

• Drag and drop a script from the tree into the Groups pane or select the script and click .

• To create a new script, click and type the URL to which you want to apply noise testing. You can provide a server name, IP address, or a full URL (supports http and https).

• To edit a script, select a script and click .

• To delete a script, select a script and click .
