1. Open the Remote Agent from the Start menu or by running <Installdir>\bin\UFTRemoteAgent.exe.

   The Remote Agent icon is displayed in the task bar tray.

2. Right-click the Remote Agent icon and select Settings. The Remote Agent Settings dialog box opens.

Set OpenText Functional Testing Remote Agent Preferences.

For tests, restarts OpenText Functional Testing after ALM completes the specified number of tests runs. When OpenText Functional Testing restarts, it continues with the next test in the test set.

For business process tests, restarts OpenText Functional Testing after ALM completes the specified number of component iterations. However, if it reaches the specified number of iterations in the middle of a business process test run, it waits until the current business process test iteration is finished before restarting.

You may want to use this option to maximize available memory.

If you do not want OpenText Functional Testing to restart during a test set run, enter 0 (default).

Closes OpenText Functional Testing after it has been idle for the specified number of minutes.

This option is applicable when running tests from Server Side Execution in ALM only. For details on Server Side Execution, see Run tests in Server-Side Execution.

This option is ignored if the test is launched from a non-scheduled ALM test run.

Instructs OpenText Functional Testing to pause test runs at breakpoints inside in a test.

If an existing test or keyword GUI component is open in OpenText Functional Testing when the Remote Agent begins running a test, this option instructs OpenText Functional Testing to save any unsaved changes to the open test or keyword component.

If a new test is open in OpenText Functional Testing when the Remote Agent begins running a test, the test is saved in:<OpenText Functional Testing>\Tests\ALM with a sequential test name.

Specifies whether to run OpenText Functional Testing in hidden (silent) mode when you run a test set from the Test Lab module in ALM. By default, this option is selected.

Display hidden-mode notification tooltip: If this checkbox is selected, the Remote Agent displays a tooltip window when OpenText Functional Testing runs an ALM test in hidden mode. You can click the tooltip to display OpenText Functional Testing during the test set run. By default, this option is selected.

By default, when ALM opens OpenText Functional Testing on a remote computer during a test set run (or when it runs selected tests or configurations from the Test Lab module), it closes OpenText Functional Testing at the end of that Test Lab run session. This ensures that the OpenText Functional Testing license is released at that point and made available for other OpenText Functional Testing users.

Selecting this option causes OpenText Functional Testing to stay open on your computer (and to continue using the OpenText Functional Testing license) after a Test Lab run session ends.

If OpenText Functional Testing is opened from an earlier version of ALM (or the above-mentioned parameter is set to N), this option is ignored and OpenText Functional Testing always remains open at the end of run session.

For details on the SUPPORT_TESTEND_END parameter, see the section on setting ALM configuration parameters in the ALM Administrator Guide.

Restarts OpenText Functional Testing if there is no response after the specified number of seconds for:

• Operations.OpenText Functional Testing operations such as Open or Run.

• Queries. Standard status queries that remote applications perform to confirm that the application is responding (such as the ALMget_status query).

The default value for both options is 2700 seconds (45 minutes). However, while OpenText Functional Testing operations may take a long time between responses, queries usually take only several seconds. Therefore, you may want to set different values for each of these options.
