On a shared network drive: Instructs the Controller to save the scenario results and/or the Vuser scripts on a shared network drive. A shared network drive is a drive to which the Controller and all the load generators in the scenario have read and write permission. If you select to save results to a shared network drive, you may need to perform path translation. Path translation ensures that the specified results directory is recognized by the remote load generator. For information about path translation see Appendix , Performing Path Translation.
If you specify that all Vusers access their Vuser scripts directly at some shared location, no transfer of script files occurs at run time. This alternative method may be useful in either of the following situations:
The file transfer facility does not work.
The Vuser script files are large and therefore take a long time to transfer. Remember that Vuser script files are transferred only once during a scenario.
This alternate method often necessitates path translation. For details, see Appendix , Performing Path Translation.
