Adding a Recording Connector |
PROIV Assure |
|
Recording Connectors contain the full connection details to a PROIV environment and are a mandatory and permanent feature of a Recording. They contain the same information as an Open Client service, or a PIV file, which is used to connect to a PROIV Server. Refer Open Client documentation for more information.
You can create a catalogue of Recording Connectors, they can be added, deleted and maintained on the Recording Connectors window. The connection details are dependent on the Session Type that is selected, i.e. Windows or UNIX. Consequently, you will notice that there are more fields enabled when a UNIX Session Type is selected.
Recording Connectors can be created when you initially create a Recording, or you can open the Recording Connectors window from the Admin Options on the PROIV Assure Toolbar, and then you can create or amend the connection details. In addition, you can test the connections from those windows and feedback is provided if the connection is successful or fails, or displays a PROIV message box, if applicable.
Recording Connectors are permanent part of the Recording itself and as such they cannot be amended once set. When you amend a Recording Connector, you are changing that particular connection configuration, and any Recording that may use the Record Connector is not affected by the change.
It is also important to note that the Recording Connector details are logged against a Test Run.

||
Success Prompt |
The string to search for to indicate that the login has been successful. Applicable for UNIX operating systems. The default value is '$'. This field is disabled if the Session Type is set to Telnet with No Host Login (Windows). A10 - Non-Mandatory |
||
Failure Prompt |

Command |

||
Image Paths |
By default, Assure picks up the application which is set in the OpenClient; however, the image path mentioned in this box will overwrite the default path. |
||
Xferin |
Passes parameters to the PROIV session at start up. A250 - Non-Mandatory |
||
Template Page |
A template page is used to reference Cascading Style Sheets which control the look and feel of the rendered widgets (for example icons, objects, etc.) You do not have to enter a template page name in the field as Open Client will search the resource paths for the default template page, index.html. If the file is located, it will be used. It references two CSS files; PROIVFixedStyle.css and PROIVDefaultStyle.css which control the look and feel of the rendered application.
You can also create your template page which must be called index.html and must be placed in the root of your folder under the appResources folder. The Open Client loads its own CSS files, but properties in these files may be overridden by properties in your CSS files. A250 - Non-Mandatory |
||
Upload Maximum |
Sets the maximum upload size for the file send and receive process. The send and receive process in Open Client requires user interaction, it is not a transparent process. Therefore, when a file is required by the PROIV Virtual Machine, a message box appears which prompts the user to locate the file and manually upload it to PROIV. To avoid the system bottlenecks, it is advisable to set an upload file size limit to prevent users from uploading huge files. N10 - Non-Mandatory |
||
Calendar Control |
Check to enable standard Windows Calendar Control for input of dates. This is enabled on a global basis and does not require any application changes. You can select or deselect this option only when disconnected from PROIV. Once a connection is active, you cannot change the setting; the box and the text are greyed out, but the check is still visible in the box. The default setting for the option is disabled. |
