Enabling a New Extension for a Java Application

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

You must enable a new Java application in both the Extension Enabler and the Extensions dialog box.

To enable a new extension for a Java application:

  1. Click (in Microsoft Windows 7) Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Test > Tools > Extension Enabler or (in Microsoft Windows 10) Start > Silk > Extension Enabler. If you are running your Java application on a remote 32-bit Windows machine, launch extinst.exe, which is in the Silk Test Classic installation directory on the remote machine.
  2. On the Extension Enabler dialog box, click New.
  3. Click Browse button to navigate to the location of the JVM executable you want to hook into, and then click OK.
  4. Check the Java check box for the executable you just added, leave Primary Extension set to (None), and then click OK.
  5. Start Silk Test Classic.
  6. In the Silk Test Classic menu bar, click Options > Extensions. The Extensions dialog box opens.
  7. On the Extensions dialog box, click New.
  8. Click Browse button to navigate to the location of the JVM executable you want to hook into, and then click OK.
  9. Check the Java check box for the executable you just added, leave Primary Extension set to (None), and then click OK.
  10. Start your Java application.
