Configure global scenario options

The following sections describe how to configure global options relevant for all your scenarios.

In this topic:

Configuring scenario options overview

Before you run a scenario, you can configure both the load generator and Vuser behavior for the scenario. Although the default settings correspond to most environments, LoadRunner Professional allows you to modify the settings to customize the scenario behavior. The settings apply to all future scenario runs and generally need to be set only once. Settings related to load generator behavior apply to all the load generators in a scenario.

You configure these settings from the Tools > Options dialog box. For details, see the Options dialog box.

Global scenario configuration settings are unrelated to the Vuser runtime settings. Runtime settings apply to individual Vusers or scripts and contain information about logging, think time, and the network, the number of iterations, and the browser. For information on setting runtime settings, see Runtime Settings in the Virtual User Generator Help Center (select the relevant version).
