The process name. |
|
prctype=value: |
The process type. |

True - the test waits for the process to finish. False - the test does not wait for the process to finish. The default is False. |
|
distribution_expected=value |
The status of the file to be posted. Values are:
If the distribution final status equals the distribution expected status, then a Pass is logged; if not, a Fail is logged. |
|
distribution_ret=&variable |
True or False value which captures the distribution status of the file in Process Monitor. |
|
click_refresh=value |
On or Off value determines if PTF refreshes process monitor status in fixed intervals or the status gets auto-refreshed. The default value is On. On - PTF refreshes the Process Monitor page every six seconds to verify the process and distribution status. Off - PTF does not refresh the Process Monitor page. Instead, the Process Monitor page auto-refreshes to display the updated process status. No value- takes the default value. Note: If the PIA does not support auto-refresh of process monitor, then the value must be set to Off.
