Unsupported and deprecated features

OpenText Application Quality Managementintegration (ALM)

As a result of decoupling from OpenText Application Quality Management, there is no direct integration between OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering and OpenText Application Quality Management. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering does however integrate using VAPI-XP. For details, see Integrate with OpenText Application Quality Management.

This means that connectivity from OpenText Functional Testing (through OpenText Application Quality Management) is not supported. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering does still integrate directly with VuGen and Analysis.

Cloud hosts

Credits reports and calculations have been deprecated.

Database

OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering 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

• Elastic Dockerized Controller hosts are not supported.

• Monitoring orchestrator metrics using the Heapster Server (for Kubernetes) is no longer supported.

• When migrating a project that contains tests using Dockerized hosts, only the Orchestration configurations are migrated; the path to your updated Docker images must be redefined. For details and suggested resolution, see Notes and limitations.

File repository

• The file repository for each project is located under the same root folder with a fixed structure.

• A distributed file repository is not supported.

For details, see Project repository.

Offline results are not displayed for runs from versions of OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering earlier than 2021 R2.

Projects

• Direct migration from OpenText Application Quality Management is no longer supported. Instead, you must first migrate projects to OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering 2023, and then upgrade to the latest OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering version.

• The following entities are not supported when migrating projects from version 12.6x to OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering:

  • Event log, Audit (for all projects, LAB, and Site Admin)

  • Cloud accounts and templates

  • Roles and permissions

  • LDAP servers

• Project history data is not supported. All relevant historical audit data is in the original project's schema.

Reports

• All cloud reports were removed except for the Cloud Operations report.

• Cloud and Docker usage data is now centralized under the Elastic Cloud Utilization and Elastic Docker Utilization reports.

For details, see Reports.

Service Virtualization

The Service Virtualization integration as it existed until 12.63 is not supported.

Instead, you can monitor Service Virtualization resources during the test run by adding Service Virtualization monitors. For details, see Service Virtualization monitor.

Template projects

User-defined fields (UDF)

UDFs are not supported.

Note:

• UDF data is still migrated from earlier versions to OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering as part of the migration process (support is planned for this feature in an upcoming version).

• The default UDFs appearing in the schema during the creation of Lab or projects are migrated. If additional columns were added to a project, only the columns up to the number listed in parenthesis below are migrated:

  • For Projects: Test (24), Test instance (24), Runs (12), Test Set (6)

  • For Lab: Project Properties (4), Host (5)

Version control

OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering does not currently support version control. As a result, only the latest checked in tests and scripts from OpenText Application Quality Management are available after migration.
