Unsupported features
While most of the features defined in previous versions are displayed and work in the same way in the current release, the below features are not available or fully implemented:
Feature | Comments |
---|---|
ALM integration |
As a result of decoupling from ALM, there is no direct integration between LoadRunner Enterprise and ALM. LoadRunner Enterprise does however integrate with ALM via VAPI-XP. For details, see Integrate with ALM via VAPI-XP. This means that connectivity from UFT One (via ALM) is not supported. LoadRunner Enterprise does still integrate directly with VuGen and Analysis. |
Cloud hosts |
Credits reports and calculations have been deprecated. |
Database |
LoadRunner Enterprise can only work with a single database server. As a result, all project schemas must be located on the same database server. |
Define Target IP addresses |
Defining IP addresses to use as a target for performance testing is currently not supported. |
Diagnostics |
Diagnostics integration is currently unavailable and was removed from the user interface. |
Elastic Dockerized hosts |
|
File repository |
For details, see Project repository. |
Multilingual user interface | The Russian language pack is not supported. |
Monitors | The Oracle Database monitor is not supported and was removed from the monitors list. |

PAL |
PAL (Performance Application Lifecycle) is not supported and was removed from the navigation toolbar. Note: PAL data is still migrated from earlier versions to LoadRunner Enterprise as part of the migration process (support is planned for this feature in an upcoming version). |

Template projects |
The ALM template projects feature is not supported. |
User-defined fields (UDF) |
