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 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 it.

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. Select Options->Option files from the Menu bar.

   The Option Files dialog box is displayed.

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

4. Click on Store.

5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each test session configuration you want to save.

6. Click Close in the Option Files dialog box.

   The Option Files dialog box is closed, and your test session configurations are saved for future use.

To Load an Option File

Loading an option file that was created on another system is permitted, but you must make sure that the configuration is valid for the system you plan to test.

   The Options Files dialog box is displayed.
