Options
This parameter allows additional options to be set which modify the behavior of the interface with the target application or enable special features. Normally it should be left empty, unless these specific features are required. To enable features, add them in a comma-separated list as required.
Options currently defined are:
- descendtree – For Java applications, causes element searching to be done by descending the tree of elements within the target application. The default (i.e. when this option is not set) is to directly retrieve a list of visible Java elements for each Java-associated window in the target application. Descending the tree is usually slower, but some target applications and JREs can crash using the default method.
- ignorenotshowing – For Java applications, when descending the tree, ignore branches of the tree below elements which are reported to be not showing. This may result in a significant performance improvement.
- nodisconnect – For terminal emulators, when enabled this option will result in the underlying terminal emulator API not being closed down when disconnecting, terminating or detaching from the emulator. Dependant to the API specifications, its usage may lead to memory leaks (both in Blue Prism and the Terminal Emulator software) and other associated problems such as crashes (known to happen with Attachmate). However, the resulting behaviour has been found to be desirable and free from obvious problems with some emulators. This option should be used with caution, and tested before use within a production environment.
