Recorder options
User interface elements are described below:
| UI Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Recorded Protocol |
Specifies which protocol to record, For supported protocols, see Supported Java communication protocols.
Default value: RMI.
|
| Extensions List |
A comma separated list of all supported extensions. Each extension has its own hooks file.
Default value: JNDI.
|
| Serialized objects representation |
Use XML (Xstream) or Performance Engineering obsolete representation for serialized objects. XML representation is only supported for Java 8 and later.
|
| Use DLL hooking to attach Performance Engineering support |
Use DLL hooking to automatically attach OpenText Professional Performance Engineering support to any JVM.
|
| Load parent class before class |
Change the loading order so that parent classed are loaded before child classes. This helps identify hooking for trees with deep inheritance.
Default value: enabled.
|
| Use _JAVA_OPTIONS flag |
Forces JVM to use the _JAVA_OPTION environment variable, which contains the required JVM parameters.
Default value: disabled.
|
| Record Performance Engineering Callback |
Records the VuGen stub object as a callback. If disabled, VuGen records the original class as the callback.
Default value: enabled.

Code generation options
The primary options are listed below:
| UI Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Insert Functional Check |
Inserts verification code that compares the return value received during replay, to the expected return value generated during recording. This option only applies to primitive return values.
Default value: disabled.

The format of byte arrays in a script: Regular, Unfolded Serialized Objects, or Folded Serialized Objects. Use one of the serialized object options when recording very long byte arrays.
Default value: Regular.
|
| Search for loops |
Search for loops and when possible, create a for loop.
