Find Out How

You can require that a specific Maestro control the playback for specific track in two ways:

Click on the down arrow in the select control underneath the track name in the left portion of the timeline. Then click on the Maestro server or location that you want to play that track. Please note that if you have only one Maestro server defined in your SOASTA Repository, this drop down will not be visible.

Maestro servers can also be selected from the lower panel of the SOASTA CloudTest Composition Editor. Click on the “Properties” tab in the lower toolbar to display the Composition Element tree. Navigate to the track whose Maestro you want to access, and single-click the name in the tree. In the right portion of the lower panel you will see the select control for the Maestro location.

You can also control Maestro locations and servers using the “Play Options” button in the bottom toolbar of the SOASTA CloudTest Composition Editor. Click on the “Play Options” button, make any changes in the dialog box, and then click “OK”. Your changes will be in affect for only the current load of this test composition, not for the life of the test composition.

The second way to control Maestro locations and servers is from the “Compositions” list in the SOASTA Repository. Right-click on the test composition that you want to play and select “Play with Options” from the context menu. Make any selections and click on the “Play” button.

Choosing a particular location means that you want to allow any Maestro at that location to control the track.

Choosing “Any Location” means that you do wish to specify a preference as to which Maestro will control the playback of the track.
