Range Checking/Error Messages
In the dialogs described later in this chapter, the user interface will verify
all entries that require values within a specified range. If a field can
contain a very large number, do not enter commas (,) for values larger
than 999 (e.g., use 1000 rather than 1,000). If you use an invalid
character in a field or specify a value that is not within range, a dialog will
tell you the allowable range. Example:
When an Invalid Data dialog is displayed, click “OK” and reenter a value
that is within the allowable range for the field.
Using Load Profiles
Load Profiles allow you to control the execution of virtual stations:
Unscheduled or Scheduled. In Unscheduled mode, virtual stations can be
manually controlled. In Scheduled mode, virtual stations can be run
incrementally based on groups (all virtual stations within the group) or by
individual virtual stations.
NOTE: In order to use Scheduled mode, you must disable “Batch EE
Requests” in EmulationEngine configuration (See EE->Configure EE).
When requests are batched for transmission to the EmulationEngine, they
will not be sent at the scheduled interval defined by the Load Profile.
Run tests: Select Unscheduled or Scheduled. The default is Unscheduled.
If Scheduled is selected, the Load Profile is in effect for the scenario. If
Unscheduled is selected, the Load Profile is not in effect.
After: This field defines an initial delay before a run starts: 0...3600
seconds (1 hour). It is the number of seconds after a Run command has
been issued (e.g., the Run button is selected in the toolbar) that the Load
Profile will begin executing.
run: Enter the number of virtual stations to start each time interval of the
load profile. The time interval is specified in the “every” field.
