1. Do one of the following:

   • Ensure that a GUI test, action, or component is in focus in the document pane.
   • In the Solution Explorer, select a GUI test or component node or one of its child nodes.
2. Select Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Terminal Emulator node.

This pane is available only when the OpenText Functional Testing Terminal Emulator Add-in is installed and loaded.

Any changes you make to the settings in this pane are immediately applied to the currently open test or business component when you click OK.

Terminal Emulator area: You can select an emulator to test using the Vendor and Emulator list boxes. The displayed lists include all of the vendor/emulator combination settings that are:

• Preconfigured (supplied with your Terminal Emulator Add-in)
• Copied to your computer
• Previously configured using the Terminal Emulator Configuration Wizard

You can also open the wizard to configure a new terminal emulator setting or modify an existing setting.

Clicking the Restore Factory Defaults button resets all product settings, including ALM connection information, the recent files list, and anything defined in the Options dialog box, such as startup options, UI layout, GUI, API, and BPT testing options, remote connection credentials, and more.

Errors may result from:

• invalid terminal emulator configurations in the Terminal Emulator pane (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Terminal Emulator node).
• invalid configurations made when configuring the terminal emulator using the Terminal Emulator Configuration Wizard (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Terminal Emulator node > Open Wizard).
• errors in the terminal emulator itself.

For a list of possible error responses, see Validating a terminal emulator possible error responses.

The area from which OpenText Functional Testing reads the label property of the emulator screen while recording a test or business component. If the location and length of the label are correctly defined, OpenText Functional Testing uses this value as the name of the TeScreen object. The Screen label area is enabled only for emulators that support HLLAPI.

To set the screen label:

Enter the Start row and Start column coordinates that mark the beginning of the emulator label. Define the size of the label by entering the Length (in characters).

You can change the way that OpenText Functional Testing reads the label property of the emulator screen, by adjusting the configuration settings. For details, see Manage terminal emulator configuration settings.

Opens the Terminal Emulator Configuration Wizard. The wizard enables you to define new settings for a terminal emulator or to modify existing user-defined settings. For details, see Terminal Emulator Configuration Wizard Overview.

Opens the Terminal Emulator Configuration Adjustments Dialog Box to allow changes to existing configuration settings in exceptional circumstances.

In general, we recommend using the Terminal Emulator Configuration Wizard to configure your emulator screen settings. For details, see Configure Emulator Screen Settings Page. You should use the Adjust Configuration option only if you have a good understanding of your terminal emulator settings and of the impact that such changes may have on your tests or business components. For more details, see Manage terminal emulator configuration settings.
