Challenge-Response Authentication Issue in Web/HTTP Protocol

$
0
0

I created a script(http/web) to open a url which is challenge-response authentication type(negotiate) applicable.  web_set_user("<domain>\\<username>", "<password>", "<server:port>") is used to input username and password. In the run-time settings, "Preferences -> Advanced -> Options -> Enable Integrated Authentication" is enabled. However an internal error is poping out saying "Internal Error - can't parse username <username> [MsgId: MERR-27732]"

 

Is there anybody knows how to solve this issue?

 

 

 


Does LoadRunner supports IPDR streaming protocol?

$
0
0

Hi,

Brief about IPDR

The Cisco universal broadband router supports the Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR) streaming protocol feature that provides high volume data exported from the network equipment to mediation systems such as the Operations Support Systems (OSS) or Business Support Systems (BSS). IPDR provides information about IP-based service usage and other activities that are used by OSS and BSS. This protocol provides a mechanism to collect data from various network elements or equipment using a push model as opposed to the conventional Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) polling mechanism.

Need some help regarding Mobile HTTP/HTML protocol in Load Runner 12.50

Hello All, 

Need some help regarding Mobile HTTP/HTML protocol in Load Runner 12.50.  

What am doing : Just wanted to record the scripts via proxy recording method,for Mobile HTTP/HTML protocol. 
My Vugen Machine and my mobile device is in same wifi network.Then I changed my Mobile wifi settings to manual and added my Vugen machine Ip address(IPv4 address of my laptop) to proxy server and changed the ports to 8282 (common ports)on both devices to capture the activities that I am doing on my device.  
Then I clicked 'next' to start recording but VUgen not capturing any transactions. 
I used google chrome browser for transactions in mobile (Nexus 9 Tab) and also tried deleting all cached files from mobile and laptop, unable to find any solution yet.  

The same above process I have tried in JMeter and its capturing all the activities fine. Could you guide me regarding this issue please.

Citrix XenApp ICA - Issues

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a citrix xen app application under test. Initially I used multi protocol to create scripts. As I got so many issues with ICA file handlling, I bypassed the web interface and used ICA file as input and created a single protocol ICA script. 

I am not understanding why my script runs only a single iteration. Second iteration, it halts parsing at the first step i.e, citrix_set_connect_opt(ICAFILE, launch.ica). I could see the login screen but the script waits for a time out and fails. I have attached the error log to this post. 

I somehow thought that the issue is with logging out, some server session is not able to launch second iteration, I moved login to init and logout to end and had business steps in action part. So each user, logs in only once through out the test. 

With this approach, when I injected load from controller, I could see only 4 users running at any point in time. Rest of the users are failing and the logs give a blank Error, no description and no number associated to it. 

When I replay the script in Vugen, I see in log "Number of max concurrent connections to server: 4" as a statement. Does this have any impact on my session handling with multiple user load test. I spoke with the citrix administrator and found that the max sessions are unlimited to that server. Infact, I am able to establish more than 12 sessions  manually.

Is this something related to my tool that I should handle from or do I need to ask my developer to change some settings at server side. 

Please suggest at the earliest. 

Load Runner - Web Services - encoding buffer is too small - Agent service crashing - response to big

$

Hi All

I'm running a number of web service tests in load runner, and while they all play back successfully in vugen, one of the service requests will return a response body exceeding 20,000 bytes.

When I try to run this scenario from the controller, the agent service on my load genertor is crashing each time.  I get the following errors in the agent log

Error: Internal error - encoding buffer is too small (20000 while required 26816) at CDataAndControlLayerMessageBuilder::ConvertXdrToBuffer [MsgId: MERR-60244]

Error: Internal error - failed to build DC layer of a new data message [MsgId: MERR-60248]

My natural instinct would be to try and increase the size of the 'encoding buffer', but I don't know if that is possible or how to do it.  The other option is to wonder if the response body can be compressed?

I've not been able to find anything of relevance to those error messages, and I'm hoping someone out there will know how to resolve.

Many Thanks!

Authentication Issue while connecting to cloud app

Hi All,

I am facting authentication issue while my app submitting credentials to external cloud app (integration).

The recording of the script is happening perfectly fine, but when I am trying to replay getting error before connecting to cloud.

 

Action.c(8): Error -26547: Authentication required, please use web_set_user, e.g. web_set_user("domain\\user", "password", "host:port");   [MsgId: MERR-26547]
Action.c(8): Error -26630: HTTP Status-Code=401 (Authorization Required)

p.s:  1. proxy autoconfiguration file is specified in Run-Time Settings, this will have any impact on web_set_user function ?

2. Web_set_user   username & password contain special character '@"  

I have already added the web_set_user in the script but am still getting the same error.

Any help on this is highly appreciable.


Script will not run in Controller...

$

I have created a Loadrunner script (LR 12.50) using VuGen and TruClient. When I start the script in VuGen the result depends on the proxy settings:

screenshot_29.png

No proxy: The script finishes correctly.

Use system proxy settings: I get an HTTP-503 error

Use automatic configuration script (PAC)...(with an EMPTY textfield): The script finishes correctly.


 

Now I am using this script inside the controller and again I choose different proxy settings. Here are the results:

No proxy: The script runsfor 6 minutes (normaly it finishes witnin 1 minute), and gives a HTTP-503 error. The very first step was not executed.

Use system proxy settings: I get an HTTP-503 error

Use automatic configuration script (PAC)...(with an EMPTY textfield): I get the following error: AUTOMATIC proxy specified without an automatic proxy configuration (PAC) URL.

Because I cannot see what is going on in the first case, I do not know what is wrong in the No-Proxy case.


 

I have the following questions:

- How to fix this problem? How to find out about possible causes?

- Why are the behaviors different between VuGen and Controller? I expect the exact same behavior!

- Why does the Controller yield an error after 6 minutes in the NoProxy case, but it works just fine in the VuGen case?

- Why can I define a PAC without server adress in VuGen, but Controller gives me an error?

- Maybe there is some place with some configuration I need to adjust?

 

Suggestion: Add basic Windows Resources (CPU, Memory) to Summary Report

$

I'm in the process of cross training back to LoadRunner after using Visual Studio Web/Load test for a while. One thing that I miss in LR is seeing Processor > % Processor Time > Total and Memory > Available Bytes for monitored servers as part of the Summary Report like I get with Visual Studio by default. I don't even see a way to add that in LR. without getting a bunch of graphs that I don't really need.

It's not unusal to cut/paste the Summary Report into an Excel spreadsheet and use static formulas to extract and format results on a seperate tab for comparison purposes of a large number of runs (trending). Tabular data works best for this and in LR, I have to do a fair bit of manual effort to get the same info out that comes stock with Visual Studio.

LR Vugen hangs when trying to replay recorded steps (TruClient - Firefox)

Hi,

Since a couple of days, whenever I try and record a scenario and then try to play it, Vugen hangs while it says "Analyzing automatic end event. After step ended". I have tried leaving it in case it comes back - no luck even after I left it for a couple of hours.

Note that this was working till a couple of days ago, and I am still able to successfully replay recordings that I had done in the past. Has anybody else seen this?

Hi,

I would like to know whether load runner is having the below functionality to extract the n number of value usinf single correlation function.

1)Extracting multiple values from the single response body with single correlation function similar to jmeter with Array format( Example: test_g1, test_g2)

This functionality is available for siebel protocol in loadrunner as per the user guide( mentioned as star array format)

Is it available in Http/Html protocol to extract multiple values with single regular expression?

Scripts in Controller just stop after some time.

$

Within VuGen (TruClient, LoadRunner 12.50) I have created some test-scripts that work fine in VuGen. I start these scripts and they finish within about 90 seconds.

I then combine those scripts in the Controller and run them, one after one. Two of the scripts are passing fine, but two other scripts just STOP after 6 minutes each without an error.

How can I find out the reason why they just stop? Why don't they finish? Where do they stop? Is there a difference somewhere between VuGen and Controller? How to debug the difference and the reason those script stop in Controller?

Thanks for any input!
