LoadRunner can be installed using the silent mode in this case can be used the next commands

- Silent installation of full LR, after prerequisites have already been installed:

”<Installation_disk>\lrunner\En\setup.exe” /s

– Silent installation of full LR, including prerequisites:

”<Installation_disk>\lrunner\En\setup.exe” /InstallOnlyPrerequisite /s
msiexec.exe /qn /i“<Installation_disk>\lrunner\MSI\LoadRunner_<arch>.msi”

 

– Silent installation of a standalone application:

”<Installation_disk>\Standalone Applications\Setup<application name>.exe” /s /a /s

 

– Silent installation of an additional component:

”<Installation_disk>\Additional Components\Setup<setup file path>” /s /a /s

The different and other installation commands related to LR installation can be found in the attached document.

Hi,

We are unable to upgrade the loadrunner version from 11.5 to 12.x.  When i am trying to install the loadruuner 12.x version, it is looking for LoadRunner_x64.msi in the previous version. Unfortunatley my customer was deleted the loadrunner 11.5 version instead of upgrade directly. Now while installing the 12.x version he is facing it is looking for

"\\mlgmuc00sap026\LR 11.5\LR 11.5\lrunner\MSI\". Also we have tried to install the same by using LoadRunner_x64.msi. But its not installing. Could you please suggest us how to proceed further.

Version:- From 11.5 to 12.01

O/S:-  Windows 64-bit

Regards,

-Kiran

I am trying to test using multiple users however I am unable to add my 11 load generators.  Is there a separate file that I install on the load generators (in my care, virtual machines) to communicate with the 'main' loadrunner machine?

I am trying to use parameters in a very simple TruClient Script. The script just opens google, enters a search term, and starts the search.

On the main window I am defining the parameter as a table like follows:


 

Great, just realized the stupid forum did not save my actual post!!! Need to write again...

So anyway, in the TruClient developer I try to access the value from the parameter as follows:



 When trying to run the script in developer mode; I get the following error:

** 3.2: Type API_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUME... step only" mode in Suche combobox ** failed - an argument is invalid: 'Value': JavaScript exception 'API_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENTS_RUNTIME: TC.getParam("searchterm") APIError: Can not be used in "Play this step only" mode' during evaluation

 This is not user-friendly. So I save the script and change back to the main LR window, and try to run the script from there, only to get another error:

 

t=00006161ms: Warning -205179: Failed to get a parameter: Parameter_GetParameterExt failed. Internal: bsTempName="searchterm" (length=10), bsTempValue="" (length=0), paramValueLen=0, rcGetParameterExt=-1, ClrParamAPI::GetParam returns LR_ERROR_PARAM_NOT_FOUND [MsgId: MWAR-205179]
t=00006238ms: Error -205177: ** 3.2: Type API_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: TC...s not a function in Suche combobox ** failed - an argument is invalid:
'Value': JavaScript exception 'API_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: TC.getParam TypeError: window.getL10NStr is not a function' during evaluation Snapshot Info [MSH 1 0] [MsgId: MERR-205177]

 

I have three questions:

1. Looking at the >1000 page user manual I did not find any hint on how to use a parameter from a table in TruClient. I think this is pretty basic stuff and should be documented. Is there documentation where I can see how I can use parameters?
2. How to fix the main error? I mean, how to use a parameter ...?
3. Is it still possible to let the script run in the developer mode? How to be able to develop a script if I am not able to develop a script with parameters ...?

I have created a TruClient Script (Web-actions) that runs without problem and finishes in about 90 seconds,.

Now I have put this single script in a Controller Scenario, but it runs much longer than 90 seconds. How can I see from the controller what really is going on when running this script? Can I see an output as I can see when I run the script in the VuGen Client? How else can I see what is going on in my scenario?

For sevral days we have been unable replay  TruClient Fire Fox on our Vugen 12.02 scripting machines because Mozilla crashes. We can record a new Truclient FF script but it will crash upon replay. The Mozilla crash report lists 'URL: about:blank' so I am assuming this will occur will all sites. If we try to run existing scripts in interactive or vugen mode it will die with  "Error -205177:  IPC connection to browser process is lost"

Our Vugen scripting machines are Windows 8 virtual machines. Existing Truclient FF scripts will run correctly on non-VM BPMs, they fail on the VM BPMs.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thanks,

Dave

I am working on a scenario where I have 3 user contexts. Each user will need to submit data 5 times. Each submit data will have 4 different values.

I could handle the 3 user logins with parameterization

  web_submit_data("login",
    "Action=.../login",
    "Method=POST",
    "RecContentType=text/html",
    "Referer=",
    "Snapshot=t4.inf",
    "Mode=HTML",
    ITEMDATA,
    "Name=utf8", "Value=...“", ENDITEM,
    "Name=token", "Value={token}", ENDITEM,
    "Name=id", "Value={UserId}",ENDITEM,
    "Name=pwd", "Value=Somepwd", ENDITEM,

LAST);

To submit data 5 times, I did a for loop.

   for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
   {
    // Submit data
   }

The challenge I am encountering is with submitting 4 different values. Because the preferrable option is a list of values per User, I have created parameter files for each user, PO_{UserId}. My intention behind doing this is to make vugen pick each file and parse through the file for 4 values and submit 4 values. I have setup the option of Sequential->Per occurance for PO_{UserId} parameter file. This is not working as expected. I am reusing the csv upload concept that I had used earlier where I set value with sample_{UserId}.csv and File=yes. I understand the scenario here is different and we are not looking at using the file's contents in one go but to parse the file and submit data 4 times. I really appreciate any assistance.

  for(i = 1; i <= Count; i++)
   {
 web_submit_data("Submit_i",
    "Action=...",
    "Method=POST",
    "Referer=...",
    "Snapshot=t6.inf",
    "Mode=HTML",
    ITEMDATA,
    "Name=id", "Value={LR_MyId}", ENDITEM,
    "Name=preferable_option", "Value={PO_{UserId}}", ENDITEM,
    LAST);
  }

Hi,

I have installed Load Runner Full Setup version 12.50 in Azure Server. During installation, it asks to provide CA Certificate and SSL Certificate. Could someone tell me How can I get these files? Is there any link between these files and Load generator installation.

When I skipped the CA Certificate steps and installed, from Controller, I am not able to connect Load generator. I got connection failed.

What is the role of MI Listener to establish connection between Controller and Load Generator.

In the LoadRunner Controller there is a Network Delay Time Graph in Network Graphs. I have set the measurement from localhost to server under test.

The average response time as show in Trans Response Graph is 2.3 secs

The Network delay time graphs shows an average delay of 2.75 secs

Is this data consistent. Does Response time include network delay time also ?

Please explain What is response time in Loadrunner ?

Hi Team,

I am trying to record multiple web service call using Load runner vugen tool. I use Load runner version 12.2 which generates script in C language.

I have following requirement.

Based on first web service response, (for example login web service which returns session token) i need to pass it in subsequent web service call.

Since it is a load test, I have an input file whci has some 10000 XMLs separated by ~. so I should be able to have a script which can pick up XML files randomly from this input file and then make subsequent web service call using this input xml. Please let me know if you have any sample script to achieve this or any documentaton.

Regards,

I am developing LoadRunner scripts with TruClient. I overcame many, many problems, but managed to create scripts which use functions from a library named "SRG". Now, in another script I AM using function calls from this library:



But when I then try to group other steps in the same scripts in a function, I AM NOT ABLE TO CHOOSE THE SRG LIBRARY:



I cannot name the library "SRG" because the library already exists! OF COURSE IT EXISTS! But I obviously cannot use the library "SRG" as an existing library!!

How can I fix this cumbersome problem??

PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!!!

We have some Truclient IE scripts which are not working when we execute trhe through Performance Centre ALM.

Scripts recorded in VUGen 12.5
ALM / PC= 12.5

Script is a very simple webpage, it works fine when we replay the script in VUGEN we have also run it from a the controller (outside of PC) and it works fine.
When we run it from PC using the same INJECTOR as we use for the controller which is the same machine we can run it from VUGEN it false at the first URL request.

There is some external content which the page tries to load which would require a proxy. We have go0t the script working in VUGEN by applying download filters to only download content from the URLS we need. Even after this there were 4 URLS which were being attempted , which required a proxy, so we updated the HOSTS file on the injector to point those URLS back to local host.
This has the script working in VUGEN and in a standalone controller, however it is still failing in PC.

In PC it starts and the tries to access the first URL and then times out after 3 mins.
It feels like its still trying to access the content which requires the proxy but we have no way of proving this.
