AppAreaPath

The full ALM path of the application area.

OpenInReadOnlyMode

Indicates whether to open the application area in read-only mode.

SaveAll

Indicates whether to save changes for all open tests, components, and application areas in the currently open solution before opening the specified application area.

Remarks

This method is valid only for application areas and only when you are connected to an ALM project with Business Process Testing support. To open a test, use the Open method. To open a business component, use the OpenBusinessComponent method.

You can enter an Application.OpenAppArea statement without an Application.Launch statement. If OpenText Functional Testing is not already running when the OpenAppArea method is called, OpenText Functional Testing is automatically started.
