Configuring to export report counters automatically

When you run a test or schedule from the Command-line interface (CLI), you can configure HCL OneTest™ Performance to export reports automatically.

Procedure

  1. Open HCL OneTest™ Performance.
  2. Click Windows > Preferences > Test > Performance Test Reports > Export Reports.
  3. Perform the following actions in the Export Reports window:
    Options Actions
    Command Line

    Select this checkbox to export the report after the test run is complete when you run the test or schedule from the command-line interface. The report is stored in the Exported Results Data directory. You can access this report from the Test Navigator pane.

    The report is also saved in the Results directory. You can access the Results directory by navigating to the location of your workspace.

    For example, C:\Users\username\HCL\hclonetest\workspace_name\project_name\Results

    If you select the Command Line option, you can also select the Print simple CSV reports to command line option. When you select these two options, then you can display the exported data on the command-line interface, if you used the -stdout parameter. Otherwise, the report information is printed in the CommandLineLog.txt file. You can access this file from the following path:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\CommandLineLog.txt
    Note: The command line preferences take the precedence over preferences set in HCL OneTest™ Performance.

    Consider that you selected the Command Line and Print simple CSV reports to command line options. You then run the test or schedule from the command-line interface by using the -exportstats or -exportstatsformat parameter. In this scenario, the report is exported to the path mentioned for the -exportstats parameter.
