Performance Manager execution servers are responsible for executing monitors, for example Silk Test Classic and Silk Performer STM scripts. Silk Test Classic must be installed on the same computer on which a Performance Manager execution server is installed. Silk Performer STM components are installed with the Performance Manager execution server setup.
When executing Silk Performer STM scripts against multibyte applications or Web pages, review the Multibyte Support section in the Silk Performer STM Help.
For information regarding Silk Test Classic and Silk Performer STM, refer to the respective product documentation.
By default, the execution server will run as Windows system service. For Silk Test Classic, Citrix, and SAP test executions it is recommended to run the execution server as Windows process however. For detailed information, see Starting the Performance Manager Execution Server as a Windows Process.
