Relation to Port Configuration Files#
ValkyrieManager saves test port configurations (.xpc file) in the exact same CLI command format as used by the XOA CLI. This makes it very easy to go back and forth between a ValkyrieManager environment and XOA CLI. For example, exporting a port configuration from ValkyrieCLIManager generates a configuration file in a simple text format that can be edited using a text editing tool such as Microsoft Notepad. It can then be imported back into ValkyrieManager.
The seamless interaction between port configuration files and the XOA CLI accelerates your scripting learning curve, letting you get more done quicker as complex test port configurations can easily be defined in ValkyrieManager, and then exported to a text based configuration file, which in turn can be cut & pasted into your scripting tool environment.
Here is an example of a port configuration file.
