Products

Issue/Introduction

Have a custom jar that is a parser. 

Able to run in ITR from local Workstation. 

When deployed to remote VSE, testing causes a timeout, even though the jar is in the hotDeploy folder of the remote VSE.  

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

tested with a Workstation from the VSE machine, that had the custom jar applied, using ITR and getting error: 

Exception caught writing property to file: Cannot create parent directory <directory folder>. 

Custom jar was reading from location on remote VSE that had no access to as well as the filter on the step writing to a location remote VSE did not have access to.  

Resolution

Modified custom jar and removed filter, then able to get the response from the JAR file.
