| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| executablePattern | The executable name of the application. The pattern may include the wildcards '?' and '*' which match one or none to many characters respectively. For example myApplication.exe, myApplica?ion.exe, and myApp*.exe. String. |
| commandLinePattern | Optional: This pattern is matched against the command line arguments of the application. This is useful when multiple instances of an application are running, but only some of them should be tested. For Java applications, the command line pattern could include the name of a characteristic jar or the main class, for example *org.MyMainClass. You can use "" to specify no command line pattern when you want to load specific tech domains. String. |
| techDomains | Optional: The tech domains to load in the application. Typically, this parameter is only used by technical support. As a best practice, do not specify a tech domain. If you do not specify a tech domain, all available tech domains are loaded. TechDomain. |
