Integration with OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering
You can upload and download scripts from VuGen, and open and edit scripts that are in an OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering project.
For information, see the Help Center.
Connect to the server
The server connection enables you to select the relevant domain, project, and folder.
After connecting, VuGen stays connected until you disconnect or end the session. You can connect to only one server and tenant at a time.
To connect to a server:
- Select Integrations > Enterprise Performance Engineering. The integration window opens.
-
On the Server account tab, enter the server address and the tenant ID (if the server supports tenants).
-
If the server address URL includes the tenant ID (for example: http://myserver.mycomp.net/?tenant=fa123a56-789-123b-4abc-5f67bb89abc), then the ID is automatically moved to the Tenant field.
-
If the server has a default tenant, or only one tenant, then you do not need to include the tenant ID. The login will automatically connect to that tenant.
-
-
If the server is behind a proxy, click Configure with Proxy and enter the required details.
-
Click Connect. VuGen attempts to connect to the server. If successful, you continue with SSO login (if supported).
Note: If your SSO security provider does not support SSO login from the embedded browser, check the Open SSO page in default browser box and click Connect again. The SSO login page is then opened in your default browser, using private browsing mode, enabling you to log in.
-
If SSO login is not supported, the Login and Password fields are enabled. Enter your Login and Password details, and click Authenticate.
- If login succeeds, the Domain and Project fields are enabled. Select the required Domain and Project from the dropdown lists.
-
If you want to automatically reconnect to the server when restarting VuGen, select the Restore connection on startup check box.
Note: You will still be prompted for a password before reconnecting.
- Click Login. VuGen logs into the specified project and displays the Script management tab, where you can select the relevant project folder.
Tip: When VuGen is connected to OpenText Enterprise 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 Enterprise Performance Engineering project, and edit them with the VuGen script editor.
To edit scripts:
-
In the Scripts Management tab of the integrations window, select the required project folder in the Enterprise Performance Engineering folder field.
Tip:
-
Use the Refresh folders refresh button to update the folder structure.
-
Use the Refresh list refresh button to update changes to the scripts.
-
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.
The scripts contained in the selected folder are displayed in the script table.

Upload scripts
You can upload script files from VuGen to the selected project on the server.
You can only upload zipped files; VuGen automatically zips the files before uploading.
To upload scripts:
- Open the script or scripts you want to upload in Solution Explorer.
- Connect to the relevant project and folder on the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server. See Connect to the server.

Click Upload scripts. The Upload scripts from Solution Explorer dialog box is displayed, listing the scripts you have open.
Note: You cannot upload a script if it is currently locked by another user.
- Select whether to upload All files for each script, or only the required Runtime files.

-
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.
- Click Upload. The dialog box indicates whether the upload succeeded for each script.
- Click Close. The uploaded scripts are added to the list of scripts on the Script management tab.
