Projects Page/Project details (Main Details view)

Use these pages to view all your projects and to manage their settings.

UI Elements | Description
--- | ---
Concurrent Run Limit | The maximum number of concurrent test runs allowed within a project.
Database (Oracle environment only) | If you are creating a project with a custom Oracle user, select Specific, and enter the Oracle user credentials in the Database Name and Password boxes. For details, see Create a project with a custom Oracle user. To create a new project using the default OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering user, change the setting to Default.
Database Name (Oracle environment only) | If you are creating a project with a custom Oracle user, enter the name of the custom Oracle user that is used to hold the schema of the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering project. For details, see Create a project with a custom Oracle user. Note: Available only when Database is set to Specific.
Deactivation Date | The date on which the project was deactivated.
Description | Displays a description of the project (if added during project creation).
Domain / Domain Name | The domain in which the project was created. To move the project to another domain, open the project details page and select the Main Details view. Click the Domain Name dropdown, and select a different domain for the project.
Host Limit | The total number of hosts (Controller + load generators) reserved for a timeslot may not exceed this limit.
ID / Project ID | The project's ID.
Last Run | The time and date of the last test run in the project.
Mode | Indicates whether the project is versioned or non-versioned.
Password (Oracle environment only) | If you are creating a project with a custom Oracle user, enter the password of the user that is used to hold the schema of the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering project. For details, see Create a project with a custom Oracle user. Note: Available only when Database is set to Specific.
Pool / Pool Name | The project's host pool.
Post-Run Action | Select the action that is triggered automatically when the test run ends. This does not replace the user permissions, and is not enforced on collate or analyze actions that can be performed by the user from the Test Runs page at a later time. Unrestricted (user-defined). Enables the user to select the post-run action when they start or stop a test, or when they select a timeslot. Do not collate. Frees the machines immediately after the performance test ends. When the run has finished, the run results are stored on the load generators. Collate results. When the run has finished, the run results are collected from all the load generators. This is recommended because collation of results takes only a few minutes, and can prevent loss of or inaccessibility to results in case any of your load generators becomes unavailable. Collate and analyze results. When the run has finished, the run results are collected and analyzed. Data analysis requires some time, depending on the size of the results file. Note: If you set the post-run action to Unrestricted (user-defined) and subsequently change the setting after a user has reserved a timeslot, the settings in reserved timeslots are not enforced or modified where it conflicts with the user's post-run action setting. When you set a post-run action other than Unrestricted (user-defined), the selected action is set as the only option for tests across the project, and users cannot change this setting. In addition, users cannot select an option for collating run results in Test Options; it is set to automatically collate at the end of the test run. For details, see Configure collate options. If you set a post-run action for which a user lacks permissions in Administration (for example, you set the post-run action to Collate and analyze results, and the user does not have Analyze permissions), the user is unable to run or reserve a timeslot for the test. In such circumstances, update the user’s permissions in Administration, or contact the site administrator. For details on permissions, see the Permission categories. Post-run actions are not applicable for test runs driven by the REST API or Jenkins plug-in. They are enforced for tests driven from the user interface only.
Project Name | The name of the project. To rename a project, open the project details page and select the Main Details view. Modify the name in the Project Name box.
Project State | Displays the selected project's state. It can be one of the following: Active. The project is currently in the Active state, and users can connect to the project. Inactive. The project is currently in an inactive (unavailable) state, and users cannot connect to the project. For details, see Deactivate or activate a project.
Project Status Note: Direct migration is no longer supported. Instead, you must first migrate OpenText Application Quality Management (ALM) projects to 2023, and then upgrade to the latest version. | Displays the selected project's migration or upgrade status. It can be one of the following: Not Migrated/Upgraded. The project has not been migrated or upgraded to the latest version. Pending Migration/Upgrade. The project is queued for migration or upgrade. Migrating/Upgrading. Project migration or upgrade is in progress. Completed. The project was successfully created, migrated, or upgraded. Failed. An error occurred during file migration or upgrade, and could not be completed. Check the cause of the error in the project log (see Migration issues). Fix the error, and run the migration process again. For details on migrating projects, see Migrate projects. For details on upgrading projects, see Upgrade projects to the latest version.
Project Unique ID | The project's Unique ID number.
Recurrent Timeslot | Indicates whether recurrent timeslot reservations are active or inactive (default) for the project. For details, see Enable recurring timeslots.
Test Connection (Oracle environment only) | If you are creating a project with a custom Oracle user, enter the custom Oracle user credentials in the Database Name and Password boxes, and then click Test Connection to check the connection to the database server using the credentials provided. For details, see Create a project with a custom Oracle user. Note: Available only when Database is set to Specific. If the Oracle user provided does not pass the test connection (for example, if it does not have the required Oracle permissions), this is detected and a new project is not created.
VUFDs Consumed | The number of Virtual User Flex Days (VUFDs) consumed by the project.
VUFDs Limit | The maximum number of Virtual User Flex Days (VUFDs) a project can run at once. The total number used by all of the project's concurrent performance tests must not exceed this limit.
Vuser Limit | The maximum number of Vusers available to the project.
VuGen Working Mode | The mode to use to upload scripts from VuGen: Runtime Files. Uploads only the necessary files to replay the script correctly. User Defined. Enables users to choose whether to upload runtime setting files only or all files. If you select Runtime Mode, only the .usz file is uploaded. If you select All Files Mode, all available files including thumbnail images are uploaded (the script size is much larger).
