Bind Output Parameters to VU Variables
Select this check box to automatically script the VU expressions needed to contain
the return values of output parameters. This applies only to emulation commands
that support output parameter binding (currently the
iiop_invoke
command).
Clearing this box shortens VU scripts, but you have to manually script output
parameter binding expressions and binding variable declarations for any output
parameters of interest.
Playback Pacing
Controls the script's playback speed by including or excluding think-time delays in
the script. A

delay includes both the time required for the user to think
about and key in a request and the time required for the client to receive a response
to the request.

Plays back the script at a rate based on the actual time required to
record and process each emulation command or DCOM method call.
For example, if the think-time delay for a VU emulation command is
16,703 ms during recording, Robot adds the following line before that
emulation command:
push Think_avg 16703;
This setting provides a realistic rate of playback on a per-command
basis, reproducing delays in the same script locations as they occurred
during recording. However, this setting adds more commands to the
script than the per script
per script
per script
per script setting does.

Plays back the script at a rate based on the average time it took to
record and process all emulation commands. All emulation
commands use the same (average) think-time delay.
This setting and the per command
per command
per command
per command setting both run a script in
roughly the same amount of time. While playback timing is not as
accurate on a per-command basis with the per script
per script
per script
per script setting, it
requires fewer commands to be inserted into the script. As a result,
you can modify the script's average think time by editing one "think
average" environment variable (VU
Think_avg
or Visual Basic
EVAR_Think_avg
).
