Global Directory
This option is provided only for backward compatibility for earlier versions. In earlier
versions of LoadRunner (4.51 and below), when you created a new data table, you
specified local or global. A local table is saved in the current Vuser script directory
and is only available to Vusers running that script. A global table is available to all
Vusers scripts. The global directory can be on a local or network drive. Using the
General Options dialog box, you can change the location of the global tables at any
time.
In newer versions of LoadRunner, you specify the location of the data table in the
Parameter List dialog box. LoadRunner, using its new No-NFS capabilities, is able
to retrieve the data from any location--the default script directory or another
directory on the network. For more information, see
Data Files
on page 72.
To set the global directory:
1
Choose Tools > Options in VuGen. The General Options dialog box opens.
2
Select the Parameterization tab.
3
In the Global Directory section, specify the directory containing your global data
tables.
4
Click OK to accept the settings and close the dialog box.
