When tests exceed 24 hours, resource consumption issues can cause
problems with the SAP and Citrix clients. The long run mode increases the
reliability of long duration tests with the SAP and Citrix protocols by running
the tests in multiple processes.
Before you begin
Ensure that the test plays back reliably, with no errors, when
run as a single test.
For Citrix tests, a new process is created for
each virtual tester.
For SAP tests, a new process is started each time
the number of test instances reaches a specific value.
