Description
Click Browse to open the Select Application Catalog Dialog Box and select an
Application Catalog to receive the test results.
If the Web Service selected on the
with an Application Catalog, this radio button will be selected by default the first time
the Predeployment Test Preparation Wizard is run, and the Application Catalog that
AdminStudio is currently connected to will be selected. On subsequent runs, this
panel will default to the data entered in the previous run of the Wizard.
Registering is not required, but can significantly streamline the process of creating
test-ready packages. In addition, when you select an "alternate" package, if you ever
want to change the Application Catalog, you would have to rebuild all of your test-
ready packages. With registered catalogs you just change the Application Catalog
registered with the test service and then all of the new test runs will be committed to
the newly registered catalog. It would be expected that the most common uses of the
alternate package setting would be for people evaluating the tool and for people who
need to occasionally target alternate Application Catalogs.
Note • If you select a Microsoft Access database, you must enter a path relative to the machine
running the test service virtual directory.
Note • You are permitted to specify one Application Catalog for the Web Service and specify a
different Application Catalog in the instrumented package. In this instance, the catalog
information specified in the instrumented package takes precedence.
Description
Locates a particular file, folder, registry key,
on a target system prior to installation. Essentially, this feature lets you
perform application, version, and configuration data searches.
Evaluates a set of conditions that must return True if the installation is to
continue. If any condition fails, the user is presented with an error message
and the installation ends.
