Description

Organization Resources are variables shared by all users throughout an organization but whose values may differ for each user. They are available to all Projects and Project Versions within the organization.  


Organization Resources allow each user to enter their own directory path for shared resources. This makes it possible for any user within a given Organization to download a Scenario and run it on their local computer.

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

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


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.


Using a subdirectory within the home directory for these resources is best practice. An example of the recommended path setup is shown below. 



Path Format by Operating System

  • Mac OSx / Linux Example 


  • Windows OS Example - Make sure the drive letter is included.
