Do one of the following: Click Continue with offline suite execution, without viewing the suite execution results in Real Time Reporting portal. Click Cancel to cancel the offline suite execution.

   Info

   If UFT is working on a test case, which is not associated with Qualitia, then the following message is displayed. “A UFT instance is already opened. Do you want to execute the selected Qualitia test case?” Do one of the following: Click No to avoid any data loss in the UFT test case. You need to save the UFT test case, and close the UFT and then start the offline execution again. Click Yes to continue the offline suite execution.

Executing an Offline Package using CLI Commands

The offline package executes the offline suite that you want using its mapped execution profile. Also, you can override any pre-configured settings and the mapped execution profile.

If you want to use 

To execute an offline package using a CLI command:

1. Open the Command Prompt.

2. Navigate to the location where you have saved the offline package.

3. Enter the following code:
   
   The offline package is executed using the settings defined in the Qualitia Offline Configuration Manager.
4. To override any of the following parameters:
   1. Mapped Execution Profile: Enter the location of the execution profile you want in the following ways:
      1. The location of the execution profile must be enclosed by double inverted commas.
      2. You do not need to add any key.
      3. It must be the first argument.
         For example: java -jar qualitiaoffline-8.0.

      java -jar qualitiaoffline-8.0.x.jar googleChrome.version=81.0.

1. 1. 1.36 PageTimeoutInSeconds=10

      If you are overriding the mapped execution profile enter it as the first argument, as shown in the following example:

Viewing an Offline

Suite Execution Report

You can view the test suite execution report in the Real Time Reporting Portal, which updates the execution results after every test case iteration is completed.

Every offline suite execution creates a test suite execution summary report as per the location defined in Execution Result Path on the General Settings tab of the Qualitia Offline Configuration Manager. It updates the results into this folder after every task iteration execution is completed.

You can import the locally created test suite execution summary report in the Real Time Reporting Portal if the:

• Qualitia Server URL is not configured in the offline suite.

• Connection to Qualitia Server fails during offline suite execution.

For instructions on how to upload a suite execution report, refer to Uploading a Report into Real Time Reporting Portal.
