Configuring HCL OneTest™ API Agent
After you install HCL OneTest™ API Agent, you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
Configuring the temporary storage location used by the agents
By default, project files are stored in the temporary folder for the username who is running the HCL OneTest™ API Agent. In a few scenarios, however, the temporary folders might get cleaned up by automated processes, for example, when a stub stops running. To avoid losing data, you can change the default setting.
