Setting server connection options

The QA Wizard Pro Server stores global application data and hosts the server database on a networked computer. You must enter server connection information to perform the following tasks:

You may need to ask your system administrator for connection information.

Note: These options apply to all QA Wizard Pro applications that run scripts on the local computer. For example, if sending playback data to the server is enabled, information about scripts run from QA Wizard Pro and the command prompt is sent to the server and displayed in the dashboard and status tool.

1. Choose Tools > Options.

The Options dialog box opens.

2. Click the Server tab.

3. Enter the QA Wizard Pro Server IP address or DNS name.

4. Enter the QA Wizard Pro Server port number. The default port is 8002.

5. Select Send playback data to server to send playback information to the server, which includes the scripts run during the session, the session name (optional), when the session ran, the host computer, warnings or errors that occurred during playback, and the session status.

You must select this option if you want information about scripts run on the computer displayed in the dashboard or status tool, or imported to ALM Data Warehouse for reporting purposes.

6. Select Prompt to name sessions before running scripts to be prompted to enter a playback session name before scripts run.

Naming sessions makes them easier to find when viewing playback information in the dashboard or status tool, or removing data from the server database. If this option is selected, you are always prompted to enter a session name when you run scripts, but you can also choose to run them without entering a name. You cannot name or rename playback sessions after they are sent to the server.

7. Click OK to save the changes.

You must restart QA Wizard Pro before you can connect to the server.
