Changing TestNode Memory Settings

To set the memory for an installed TestNode, change the contents of /AIQ/TestNode/startup.bat for Windows and /AIQ/TestNode/startup.sh for Unix and Mac OS X systems. These files contain the following command line:

@"%Java_HOME%/bin/java" -Xmx128M -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=secret -jar start.jar @echo "TestNode? Started"

Adjust the memory settings using the -Xmx parameter.

Enabling Java Server Mode for Faster TestNode Performance

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) running the TestNode uses just-in-time compilation and other techniques to deliver the performance of your tests. You have two choices of JVM: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK.)

To see which JVM you are running, open a command shell and run: java -version.

The JDK offers a special -server switch. This tells the JVM to use pre-compilation and other techniques to improve your test performance. The tradeoff of -server is the test will take longer to start and use more memory.

Proxy Server Configuration

If you normally need a proxy service to access Web sites, instruct Appvance IQ to use the proxy with the following instructions for Appvance Designer 2.0

For Appvance Designer 2.0, configure the external proxy by editing /Appvance IQ/sahi/userdata/config/userdata.properties and setting these properties:

ext.http.proxy.enable=true

ext.http.proxy.host=external_proxy_server_hostname_or_ip

ext.http.proxy.port=external_proxy_server_port

If your proxy needs authorization, you should set these properties too:

ext.http.proxy.auth.enable=true

ext.http.proxy.auth.name=proxy_authorization_username ext.http.proxy.auth.password=proxy_authorization_password.

Make the same changes with ext. HTTPS settings for HTTPS sites.

In addition, if you need to bypass the external proxy for some local sites you need to configure that too in sahi.properties like this:

ext.http.both.proxy.bypass_hosts=localhost|127.0.0.1|*.yourinternaldomain.com

Note that there is only one bypass setting for both HTTP and HTTPS.

For TestNode, configure the external proxy by changing nodethe settings.

Validation workflow

1. Reviewin the nodeOptions role,tab controllerwhen URL, browser/runtime availability, and execution capacity before changing settings.
2. Update onlyusing the requiredScenario settingBuilder andto restartconfigure the affected service if needed.
3. Run a small execution and confirm heartbeat, logs, output, and results collection.
