2. Create a Instruction list file for PVITransfer(RUC)
3. Execute the Instruction list file with PVITransfer(RUC)
   This will create and start the ArSim instance

Some more hints how to do this are available here.

I have used a separate “UnitTesting” configuration in Automation Studio for this and I first build a RUC package for this unit testing configuration, then i use RUC to start the ARSim instance and then it is possible to run the unit tests with HTTP requests. I used a powershell script to run the tests and parse the results so that I could return either a pass or fail value. Automation Help: Using the Unit T…
