Hi all,

I have created a script to randomly click on a link from a dropdown menu. I've created some JavaScript code to do this without using any parameters. The issue I have is that it will complete the code but on the next step it will fail due to the following message - "x ** was aborted due to an error in a handler".

The code I have is as follows:

var no=Math.random()*44;

no=Math.ceil(no);
window.alert(no); //Verify what number will be appearing (used for troubleshooting)

var Xpath = "/html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[3]/div[4]/div/a["+no+"]";

evalXPath(Xpath);

If you are able to help me as soon as possible I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks,

Is LoadRunner v12 able to run on Windows 2003?

I know the system requirements only mention windows 2008 is supported, but as we currently run v11 on Windows 2003 I'm investigating whether we can move to v12 before we upgrade windows server version.

Thanks.

I am relatively new to correlation, updating existing scripts for a new release of our product.  The existing scripts extract correlation values like this one to get the value of the "name" attribute of an input tag:

web_reg_save_param("c_EB1", "LB=Duration (days): </span></td><td colspan=\"1\"></td><td colspan=\"1\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"><tr><td valign=\"top\"><input name=\"", "RB=\"", "ORD=1", LAST);

which depends a whole lot on all the (non-relevant) HTML between the display text and the input field tag. Any minor change in the style breaks this correlation (e.g. the cellpadding changed, a 'style' attribute was adeded, etc, and this script broke).

Is there some way to make this more robust against changes in the HTML? What I really want is an LB with a simple wildcard that would represent an arbitrary number of characters, e.g.

"LB=Duration(days): * <input name=\"

This seems so simple and obvious, I must be missing some easy solution...?

Thanks for any ideas...

I recorded the Citrix script for our application. Before it worked  fine yesterday when I replay.  When I replay the script today while debugging it, I always got error like Citrix client does not perform the step as LR script requested.  I forced to kill the citrix client and got error from LR as below

 Don't know why it pointed to e: driver. I even don't have e: driver.

Any thoughts? Thanks

I am trying to build a script for testing a python based desktop application which sends files to the server.

I have created the script after recording the actual application.

How can I send the contents of different file to the server (instead of sending the same data while recording) each iteration.

the above line in orange sends the recorded data(i.e. a file data).

How can we send custom data from specified file??

is HP Load runner can be installed on a RHEL 6.4 server ?

Have gone through Installation deck, as per 11.5 version it can be installed on Windows and Load generator can be installed on Linux which will connect to Load runner to generate the Vusers.

Hi I Downloaded this trial version but it doesn’t seem to work with Delphi Application. I get the following message (No Correlation occurrences and no script is generated) It works fine with Websites but not with Delphi application even I selected different protocols.

I press the record button after specifying the path of the applicaton in my c drive. The application is opened successfully but it doesnt record any clicks.

Does it only support Websites or can it work with Delphi applications? I didn’t see any on the Protocols list

Thanks

Hi expert,

I  am new to vugen and finding hard time to save parameter for htm response code:

Not sure why it is not getting saved.

Hi team,

   I am currently trying to record a web application which runs only on Google Chrome.When i tried recording, i am unable to do it as i see nothing when the script gets generated except for transaction names.(I even tried to record google but again,i can see events increasing while recording but once the script gets generated i see no content).Can you please let me know how i should proceed further? below are the details of the LR and Chrome which i am using.

Application: Web Application

Load Runner Version: 11.52

Google Chrome Version: 39.0.2171.95 m

Thanks and regards

Hi,

We are currently running LR 11.52 on winserver2003 and planning to setup LR12.02 on winserver 2012, within the next month possibly.  We will have one controller and 2 additional servers for Load Generators.  Is this an easy setup in one day or are there going to be some gotchas ?  I have already downloaded the LR12.02 and awaiting for my 3 winserver2012 VMs.

Any tips to offer ?

Thanks

Can you test VMware Hosted Applications using LoadRunner? Is there any documentation you can direct me to on how to get this working?

First I am new to Loadrunner, but I have used Silk Performer in the past.

I have a web application that I was able to script in Silk Performer but I am running into the same issues with Loadrunner.

There is a call that has a very large string, in Silk Performer I had to compare the recording vs the reply and it would find the differences between the 2. I then had to manually select the entire string and parse that into a variable and then use the variable in the script and not the actual string.

Is this type of thing easy to do in Loadrunner?

I have been playing with the Correlation feature but it does not find this string.

Any thoughts or help would be great.

Thank you

Hi, 

I have downloaded Loadrunner free version for 50 user - version no :12.02

I am trying to use controller and the app is throwing this error "You dont have a license for this Vuser type. Please cntact HP software to renew your license"

Details of how the controller is used:

1. Site for which I have generated script is - Make my trip

2. Number of Vusers - 10

3. Load Generator - Localhost

Screenshot attached.

I have tried to run controller with other sites scripts as well but everytime it says this type of Vuser cannot be used for this liecense.

Thanks and regards,

I have installed Vugen 11, I try recording scripts  but it takes so long to launch the browser that I get a timeout message.

Please help me as this is very urgent.

Waiting for reply.

Hi All,

Why does a cache file getting saved with each run into the script location (script folder)

the file name is something like -

 ccache.<username>.3696.9236

I doubt if it is something wrong.  or impacting the desired behaviour to pick up the user credentials from the parameter file only.

Note: the username and password are already parameterized.

Also, runtime settings to clear cache are off.

Eagerly waiting for the responses.

Thanks

I have a requirement where i need to validate the page with sync _on_text function in citrix protocol. I have installed the LR citrix agent (11.52.496.0) on the citrix server and using vugen (11.52.4391.0) for recording. I am able to insert sync_on_text during recording. But during replay getting warning & error message.

Action.c(27): Start notification arrived from the Agent, Agent version = "11.50.2216.0"

WARNING: The Citrix Agent is not the same version as the Citrix Recording Client, which is "11.52.4391.0".
You are advised to install the same version of the software on both client and server machines
Action.c(27): Error: ctrx_sync_on_text(118 , 180 , 65 , 20 , "Internet" , "*") failed. Sync on the text failed on the agent side

The warning message says that the agent version is 11.50.2216.0 which is diiferent than what i have installed.

Is this error because of the agent and vugen version  mismatch?

Any one faced similar kind  of issue please help me....

Hi,

We need to delete the unnecessary files in the script folder because the script folder contains 23MB data,

Which it may causes Nodata issue in BSM. So please suggest us what are the files or folder need to be delete in the script folder. This script was recorded using multi  protocol Citrix ICA and Http/HTML

Regards,

Praveen.
