Proxy settings for freeform DataWindow PowerBuilder controls
In Rational® Functional Tester, from version 8.2.1 onwards, new proxies are available for recording and playback on freeform DataWindow PowerBuilder controls in functional test scripts. By default, in a Rational® Functional Tester 8.2.1 installation, scripts that you recorded using the old proxies can be played back normally but any new scripts that you record will use these new proxies.
- rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usenewproxyonly
- rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usehybridproxy
| Flag in the ivory.properties file | Default setting in Rational® Functional Tester 8.2.1 | Setting to use only the pre-8.2.1 proxies | Setting to use only the new proxies |
|---|---|---|---|
| rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usenewproxyonly | FALSE | FALSE | TRUE |
| rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usehybridproxy | TRUE | FALSE | Setting ignored |
The default setting for the two flags in a Rational® Functional Tester 8.2.1 installation is shown in the first column of the table. On playing back a script, the GetChildren function looks for the accessibility object references and the new proxies added in version 8.2.1. By default, the new proxies are used only when you record a new script.
To revert to using only the pre-8.2.1 proxies, set the rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usehybridproxy flag in the ivory.properties file to FALSE. Recording and playback are reverted to using the pre-8.2.1 proxies. This setting is shown in the second column of the table.
To use only the new proxies that were added in version 8.2.1, set the rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usenewproxyonly flag in the ivory.properties file to TRUE. This setting is shown in the third column of the table. It ignores the rational.test.ft.pb.datawindow.freeform.usehybridproxy flag setting, and uses only the new proxies for recording and playback. This setting is useful if you do not need to play back any existing scripts and if you are recording only new scripts. It is also the setting which ensures the most optimal playback performance.
