Description

Organization Resources are variables shared across an organization, with user-specific values. They're available to all projects and versions. Users can customize directory paths for these shared resources. After doing so, users must download their User Profile and place it in the .genrocket folder. The profile is needed to perform a license check when running a Scenario. To learn more about Organization Resources, click here.

What Paths Should I Use for Each Resource?

Resource NameRecommendation
resource.home.directoryIt should point to the user's home directory on the machine.
  • Windows Example - C:\Users\username
  • Linux/Mac OS Example - /home/users/username

resource.jdbc.directory

It can be any arbitrary location. It should be different from the home path. 

resource.output.directory

It can be any arbitrary location. It should be different from the home path. 



Why Should I Not Use the Home Path for All Three?

It is not recommended to use the path set in the resource.home.directory for the  following resources: 

  • resource.output.directory
  • resource.jdbc.directory


We recommend using a subdirectory within the home directory for the other two resources. Using the same path could result in errors during test data generation or, in some cases, a process that never finishes. 


For example, when generating EDI documents, the process will take an extended time (more than 2 hours) and not finish.

How Do I Change a Resource Value? 

  • Click on the Edit (Pencil) icon. 



  • Enter the new value and click Save.


Remember to Download Your Profile!

*IMPORTANT* When a Resource Value is altered, the user must download their profile and place (or replace the existing profile file) it in the .genrocket folder.  

  • Expand the Download menu.
  • Select Download My Profile.




Your .genrocket folder should be in the path specified for the resource.home.directory if it is a local install. If it is a shared machine, the .genrocket folder would be the shared location. Examples are shown below:

This occurs when one or more resources are not configured properly in the Project Dashboard. All resources appearing in the dashboard must have a value.

  • Then make sure that N/A has been entered as the value for any resource that is not needed.
