Can a OpenText Service Virtualization solution include projects saved both in the file system and in OpenText Application Quality Management?

Yes. You can create a solution with projects that are saved both in the file system and in OpenText Application Quality Management. You can also add a new project to your existing solution, and save it in OpenText Application Quality Management. For details on creating a new project within an existing solution, see Manage Virtualization Projects.

In the event that a project saved in OpenText Application Quality Management is unavailable when you open the solution, a message displays. After the connection to OpenText Application Quality Management is restored, you can reload the solution to work on the OpenText Application Quality Management projects. From the main menu, click File > Reload Solution.

Can I share my services?

You can make your OpenText Service Virtualization projects and services available to others to download and deploy to other OpenText Service Virtualization Servers. This functionality is enabled using the Service Virtualization Management. For details, see OpenText Service Virtualization Management.

I want to view a project in the Designer but not make any changes. What should I do?

You can open the project in read-only mode. This prevents you from inadvertently making any changes. It also allows another user to open the project for editing.

When opening a project that is saved in OpenText Application Quality Management, select Open in read-only mode in the Open dialog box.
