We recently upgraded our AppLoader to 8.5.0.0 and cannot find test plan archive option anymore. Is this a bug?
Beginning from version 8.5.0.0, AppLoader does not support archiving feature anymore.
All new test plan runs will create their own small database file in AppLoader/apps/screenshots folder. This makes archiving (backing up) and transitioning from one machine to another easier.
This addition also prevents your AppLoader/data/AppLoader database from growing very large.
In order to archive or backup you older test plan runs, do the following:
- Search for previous test runs
- Find the ones that you want to backup by writing down its test plan run id or TPR ID
- Open AppLoader/apps/screenshots folder and copy the folders with those TPR IDs
- After you have backed up test runs you don’t want to keep in AppLoader, go ahead and delete them from AppLoader interface.
