About 'Read-Only Access' Failure Emulation
Use this emulation type to check whether your application handles errors that occur when it tries to write information to read-only files or folders. AQTime will catch all the attempts of your application to write information to the file or folder you specified and will make your application “think” that this file (or folder) is read-only.
Specifying Emulation Parameters
You can specify emulation parameters in the Profiler Options dialog which AQTime invokes upon running the Failure Emulator profiler or in the Failure Profiler Options dialog.
To create a new 'Read-Only Access' failure emulation and specify its parameters:
-
In the dialog, click Add.
-
On the first page of the subsequent Add New Failure Emulation wizard, select the Disk category from the list on the left, then select Read-Only Access from the list on the right and click Next.
-
On the second page of the wizard, specify all parameters for the selected failure emulation and click Finish.
To modify parameters of an existing 'Read-Only Access' failure emulation:
-
Click the ellipsis button in the Parameters cell.
-
In the subsequent Edit 'Read-Only Access' Failure Parameters dialog, modify the desired parameters and click OK.
AQTime saves your settings between profiler runs, so you will not have to define parameters next time you run the profiler.
Parameters
File (folder) name
The fully-qualified name of the tested file (or folder). You can either enter the desired name or click the ellipsis button and select the file in the Select File dialog that appears.
Options
Specifies which type of special characters (wildcards or regular expressions) can be used within other parameters of the failure emulation. To choose the desired type, select it from the drop-down list:
-
Regular expressions are coded strings that define an infinite number of possible matches. For more information on regular expressions and how to use them in parameter values, see Regular Expressions Syntax.
-
Wildcards are special symbols that can be used to match characters in string values. AQTime supports two standard wildcards: the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?). For more information on wildcards and how to use them in parameter values, see Using Wildcards.
To insert a regular expression or a wildcard quickly, click 
and select an item from the menu that appears. The menu also provides a brief description of regular expressions and wildcards.
For information on using the Failure Emulator profiler, see Failure Emulator Profiler - Overview.
