Remarks

This method is valid only for business components 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 an application area, use the OpenAppArea method.

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