Setting the Location of the WinRunner Configuration File
A GUI Vuser, running on a Windows-based host, uses WinRunner to execute its
Vuser script. To enable the LoadRunner Controller to open WinRunner, you specify
the location of the appropriate WinRunner configuration file (
wrun.ini
). To specify
the location, you can:
·
use the default configuration file for the scenario. For more information, see
Chapter 9,
Configuring a Scenario
.
·
specify another configuration file for all Vusers on a certain host--all the
Windows GUI Vusers running on the specified host will access this file.
To select the location of WinRunner for a GUI Vuser:
1
Open the Host window. The Host menu appears in the LoadRunner menu bar.
2
Click a host in the Host window. The host entry is highlighted.
3
Choose Host > Details. The Host Information dialog box opens.
4
Click the WinRunner tab, and then click one of the following options:
Scenario Default: Instructs the Vuser to use the WinRunner configuration file
specified in the Scenario Configuration dialog box. For more information, see
Chapter 9,
Configuring a Scenario
.
Local Configuration File: Instructs the Vuser to use the host's WinRunner
configuration file.
Path: Instructs the Vuser to use the WinRunner configuration file that is in a
specific location on the network. To specify the path of the configuration file, click
the browse button to the right of the Path box, and then set the location using the
Choose WinRunner Configuration File dialog box.

Click OK. The Host Information dialog box closes.
