Custom profile for Ready API or open source SOAP UI - make them use different workspaces.

ReadyApi and free SoapUi share the same profile file (%USERPROFILE%\soapui-settings.xml). So I often accidentally upgrade the Soap UI script created by my colleagues who don't have ReadyApi when I forget to switch workspace before closing SoapUi and openning my ReadyApi.

Is there a way to make one of the apps use different profile?

 

(Same problem as in https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Ready-API-and-SoapUI-PlugIn/Readi-API-for-open-source-Soap-UI/m-p/148465#M406 , but the accepted solution doesn't work.)

    Hi mhRandom, 

     

    As you said, ReadyAPI and SoapUI open-source uses the same soapui-settings.xml file where the workspace is defined. So, there is no way to make them use different workspaces.

      Hello Nastya,

      I see. (I've tried to edit .vmoptions -Dsoapui.properties but it didn't help.)

       

      Isn't there at least a command line option to open specific workspace? (Again, simply trying as a single argument for the soapui.exe nor soapui.bat didn't work).
