[Crazyprincess]

Hi All,

Happy New Year!!

I would like to know if there is way to keep running the script of QTP
when system is locked if yes please do give the process for it?

In advance thanks you all!

Hey if  you one to run only one script u can schedule is using windows
schedular,if u want to run batch of script from QC then u have to
write a VB script using QC with Open Test Architecture which will
drive qtp to run one by one scripts from QC.

Hi,

Locked system is a secured system - operating system restricts API
that
allows programmatic emulation of keyboard and mouse input.
I wouldn't expect QTP to work in a security lock mode.

By the way, QTP imitates user actions - how can a user act on your AUT
if
computer screen is locked?

The only way to overcome that is to set up a virtual machine using
VMWare or VirtualBox (without a screensaver or lock password) and
install QTP within that virtual machine.

Then you can lock your workstation (maintaining any security) and
still run tests.

"The QuickTest Professional computer is locked or logged off." error
message will be displayed, if the system is locked while running
automation scripts.Even a single script will not get executed.

I believe you can do that

Write a VB Script code that invokes QTP, load script and run that.
put that VB Script in Schedule Task and provide it with the login
credentials.
this way you can run QTP script when machine is locked.

Yeah Azhar this way I have executed my batch run scripts,but I was
working on client pc I mean to say i do a remote desktop login on
client pc from my local pc so if my computer got locked,It wont make
any difference to the PC where i was executing the scripts.

Andrey,

This can be done even when system is locked as i was able to run scripts before when i modify regedit option but was wondering if we have any other options as this option is working sometime on some machine not on all.

Hi All,

As suggested by experts above even if we write the vb code to invoke
QTP , as one point for example if we are running the script for 500
users after 30 or 40 user still we would be facing same issue.I know
one option was to edit regedit option of skipenvironmentcheck for
hkey_current_user which will make keep to work even when system is
locked.As i was wondering if anyone can suggest me any other solution
and coming requesting for new VM is matter of cost to client? but let
me debug all th ways i can if i do find any solution i will update my
states and onces again thank you for the quick solutions.Onces again
thanks all.

Thanks,
Bhavi!

Hi Kevin,

Right now I dont have the script but you can visit
http://technologicaguru.blogspot.com/2008/01/connect-to-quality-center-using.html
there you can find the code.

Once this script is ready we can schedule it using windows scheduler
very easily just open windows scheduler and follow the instructions.

Hi Mehmood,

If the system is locked, we cant send inputs from mouse or keyboard
right ???

suppose if a script needs some inputs from keyboard or mouse (For
Ex:Clicking on OK button) ,is it possible when the system is locked ??

Also can we use framework if we use the scheduler to run a script ???

Thanks in Advance

Change the following registry settings.. 
Goto following folder.. 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\MicTest 
Locate the key "SkipEnvironmentChecks" 
By Default the value will be "0" 
Change the value to "1" and restart the QTP. 
Now QTP will run with system locked.
