Unsupported and deprecated features
This section provides information about features and technologies that are not available in the current release, or whose support was partially or fully discontinued, or will be discontinued in future versions of LoadRunner Enterprise.
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 using VAPI-XP. For details, see Integrate with ALM using VAPI-XP. This means that connectivity from UFT One (through 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 not supported. |
Elastic Dockerized hosts |

Template projects |
The ALM template projects feature is not supported. |
