Saving a Test Session Configuration for Repeated Use (Option Files)

You can use the Option Files feature to save the current set of selected devices and test options for reuse. This is a convenient feature when you plan to use the same test session configuration over and over again.

The configuration information is saved in a filename of your choice in the /var/opt/SUNWvts/options directory.

Do not manually edit any option file. Unnecessary or spurious characters in the option file can cause unexpected behavior when you use them.

To Create an Option File

1. Configure SunVTS for the test session that you want to save.

   See "To Configure SunVTS for a Test Session".

2. Highlight option_files in the Control panel, and press return.

   The Option Files menu box is displayed.

3. Specify an option file name in the Option File field.

4. Highlight Store, and press return.

To Load an Option File
