# Integration with OpenText Core Performance Engineering

OpenText Core Performance Engineering uses scripts to create load tests and analyze system performance. You can upload and download scripts from VuGen, and open and edit scripts that are in an OpenText Core Performance Engineering project.

For more information, see the Help Center.

Tip: Check out the video: VuGen integration with OpenText Core Performance Engineering.

## Connect to the server

After connecting, you must define the relevant tenant number and project. VuGen then stays connected to the server until you disconnect or end the session. You can connect to only one OpenText Core Performance Engineering instance at a time.

To connect:

1. Select Integrations > Core Performance Engineering. The integration window opens.
2. On the Server account tab, enter the server address. Do not enter the tenant.

3. Select your preferred authentication method, and then enter the relevant information:

   - Use user name and password. Enter the user name or email address you use with the account, and your password.

   - Use client ID and secret. Enter the client ID and secret key used for your API access key.

   - Login using the default browser. For SSO authentication, enter the email address of the user you use with the account.

4. Enter the Tenant number.

5. If the connection is using a proxy server, expand the Configure with Proxy dropdown, and enter the relevant details.

6. Click Authenticate. If authentication succeeds, the Project field is enabled.
7. Select a project from the dropdown list.
8. If you want to automatically reconnect to the server when restarting VuGen, select the Restore connection on startup option.
9. Click the Login button. VuGen logs into the specified project and displays the Script management tab. The scripts contained in the project are displayed in the script table.

Tip: When VuGen is connected to OpenText Core Performance Engineering, a shortcut icon is displayed in the VuGen status bar. Hover over the icon to view connection details.

## Edit scripts inside VuGen

You can open scripts that are saved in an OpenText Core Performance Engineering project, and edit them with the VuGen script editor.

Tip: After opening a script, it is included in the Recent Activity area on the VuGen Start Page, providing a shortcut to quickly reopen the script.

To edit scripts:

1. Connect to the relevant project on the OpenText Core Performance Engineering server. See Connect to the server.

2. In the script table, select the check boxes for the scripts you want to open.
3. Click Open scripts. The Integration window closes, and the scripts are displayed in Solution Explorer, below the currently open scripts.

4. Edit the scripts in VuGen. When you save your changes, the changes are automatically uploaded to OpenText Core Performance Engineering.

   Note:

   - If you make changes to the runtime settings for the script, a popup dialog is displayed when you save the script. You can then select to update all runtime settings changes to OpenText Core Performance Engineering (overwriting the global runtime settings for the script), or to update only the run logic settings, or not to update any runtime settings changes.

   - A warning message is displayed if the connection to the server is lost. In this case, you can save the script locally until the connection is restored.

## Upload scripts

You can upload script files from VuGen to the selected project. VuGen automatically zips the files before uploading.

To upload scripts:

1. Open the script or scripts you want to upload in Solution Explorer.
2. Connect to the relevant project in OpenText Core Performance Engineering. See Connect to the server.
3. Click Upload scripts. The Upload scripts from Solution Explorer dialog box is displayed, listing the scripts you have open.
4. Select whether to upload All files for each script, or only the required Runtime files.
5. Select the check boxes for the scripts you want to upload.

6. By default, the zip file is given the same name as the script. If the zip file name already exists in the target folder, this is indicated in red, and the Overwrite check box is enabled. You have two options:

   - If you want to overwrite the script file on the target, select the Overwrite check box for that script (or select Overwrite for all scripts).
   - Alternatively, change the default name in the File name (zip) column.
7. Click Upload. The dialog box indicates whether the upload succeeded for each script.
8. Click Close. The uploaded scripts are added to the list of scripts on the Script management tab.

## Download scripts

You can download script zip files to the VuGen machine.

To download scripts:

1. Connect to the relevant project in OpenText Core Performance Engineering. See Connect to the server.
2. In the script table, select the check boxes for the scripts you want to download.
3. Click Download scripts. The Browse for Folder dialog box is displayed.

4. Browse to the required folder and click OK. (If a file with the same name already exists, VuGen asks whether to overwrite the file.)

   The dialog box indicates if the download succeeded for each script.
