Hi,

We have a requirement to performance test an application that works only on IE9. However the LR machine we used to record is a 2003 server box and has only IE8. VUGen and Controller are installed in this, other load generators available are also 2003 servers.

We plan to record script with IE9 in a different machine and then move the scripts here.

Please let us know if we need to be vary of any issues in doing so? LR 11.04 displays upto IE8 only in the run time settings - Browser setting.s

Will the response times captured in this manner be accurate?

Kindly request your advice.

Thanks

Hi,

Maybe you know, or maybe not, but when you have a Loadrunner Controller license, under an active support contract at HP, then you may use "HP SiteScope for Loadrunner" free of charge.

There is a limitation of 500 monitoring points on "HP SiteScope for Loadrunner".

And there is a difference in the minimum interval between measurements, regarding "HP SiteScope for Loadrunner" vs regular "HP SiteScope".

I have a question about this "HP SiteScope for Loadrunner" concerning the monitors.

Are all "HP SiteScope for Loadrunner" monitors available and ready to use?

Or are there only a few available and you have to buy additional licenses for those other monitors?

With kind regards,

Dennis

Has anyone else noticed this? When I record a script (11.52) ) and tell it to use a few text checks sporadically through the script, sometimes web_find() is placed in the script, and sometimes web_reg_find() is placed.

Why both of them? And why would the tool ever insert the deprecated version?

Not the end of the world, but it does seem odd.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Does the Road Runner Controller where vu-gen runs need to have administrator rights? I’ve recently inherited this product with little turn-over, but the one thing I was told in order to run the necessary Load Runner processes the users would need to have Admin. Rights. I was wondering if a Windows Group could be created that gives them the rights they need to do their testing without Admin. Rights. Is there any hope for this?

Hi,

I am trying to recording a website using web protocol. While recording I clicked a button, which opened a new window with flash content. In script, I can see web_url for images, .js, .xml related to the flash. Recording snapshots are available for this web_url but I am unable to see the replay snapshots for them. So, is Flash contents getting downloaded during replay. If not how to make them get downloaded during each replay.

I also used web+flex , web+amf but I found same problem.

Thanks in advance.

We have a requirement to develop load runner scripts on ODBC. Our client has System iNavigator as ODBC client. Can we record the scripts with ODBC protocol using System iNavigator as an exe? If not could some one let me know which ODBC clients will be supported by LoadRunner preferably freeware

I want to extract word "UP" from attached pic, I need to count in page how many times this word is coming,

but as it is not visible in view source and coming under read only attributes in IE 8 and I am using VuGen 11.0

I want to extract UP from below code and web_reg_find and web_reg_save_param is not

working in below case, space is main issue I think

web_reg_save_param("count","LB=> ", "RB= <a href=","ORD=ALL",LAST); (err boundry does not exists)

web_reg_save_param("count","LB=>\n ", "RB=<a href=","ORD=ALL",LAST); (err boundry does not exists)

web_reg_find ("Text=>UP<a href=","SaveCount=Auth",LAST); (gives 0 as output)

actual output is 4

Hello,

I am attempting to set up LR 12 with AWS load balancer and LR requires an SSL Certificate.  I am attempting to create a new server certificate but am not sure what to use as the common name.

I am not sure on how best to proceed to enable running the load generator in the cloud.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Best,

How to generate Seat Locking code for "

HP PC Enterprise Protocol Suite 10000 Virtual Users Global (1-4 Cntlr) SW E-LTU" ?  I am in need of this for license application.

We are having some problems with SSL session stickiness.

Everything works from the browser, however from load runner we are having problems.

We turned off new session for each connection, and it is pinning, but what we noticed now is the session is lost deep into the transaction.

We connect to one web site, then another, and when we connect back to the original the ssl session id is lost.

Have you guys seen something like this with Vugen and LR 11.52 recently?

we did a trace and found it is not persisting the ssl session id.

Tried everything in the script, including web_set_sockets_option("MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOST","1");

Works from the browser, does not work from load runner.

Even recording does not persist the session id, bounces around.

After enabling the trace found the message below.

web_set_sockets_option("TRACE_SSL_IO", "1");
web_set_sockets_option("PRINT_SSL_INFO", "1"); 

Transaction.c(25): [SSL:] X509 certificate error 19: self signed certificate in certificate chain 
        for certificate "/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=VeriSign Trust Network/OU=(c) 2006 VeriSign, Inc. - For authorized use only/CN=VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5"     

        depth=2, x509_ctx=06B4CC14, x509_ctx->ctx=07106438, preverify_ok=0, current_cert=070D6698, subject_name=0712FCE8        [MsgId: MMSG-26000]

Transaction.c(25): [SSL:] Considering establishing the above as a new global SSL session: bSslRessionReuseGlobal=1, _ptSSL=0712D080, bSslRessionReuseGlobal=07086B10, ptConnectedSslSession=00000000. Global session (_ptGlobalSslSession=00000001): no session     [MsgId: MMSG-26000]

Definitely not reusing the ssl session id, and the certificate chain error is interesting considering it is set to use Windows store and all intermediate and trust is in there.

I also hit the server directly each server and verified gave back the proper cert for each one.

Can someone let me know of any tips why this is occurring:

Transaction.c(25): [SSL:] X509 certificate error 19: self signed certificate in certificate chain 
        for certificate "/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=VeriSign Trust Network/OU=(c) 2006 VeriSign, Inc. - For authorized use only/CN=VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5"

This is exactly the same script in both instances - when running under citrix Receiver 13.4.0.24 the bitmap check fails to refresh. I have tested this in both Loadrunner  11.52 and Loadrunner 12 and same thing happens - also tested using the XenApp 4.5 and XenApp6 with the Citrix Receiver version - each time the bitmap synchronisation check fails to refresh and find and substitute the new hash value. The misleading thing is that the pop-up 'Failed Image Synchronisation..' actually show the correct image that should be substituted - clicking Continue fails to store the new bitmap (as it wasn't refreshed in the output it there is nothing to replace!) - see attachment

Hello Experts, I have a requirement to create a VuGen script which opens an excel file from a shared folder. Reads the content of the file and validates it. 

I am using LR 11.03.

This script is meant to be run by BPM for monitoring purpose. Therefore I cannot use VBScript or VB to launch open the document and read the content as BPM wont render the excel. 

I want to know if there are appropriate MS libraries that I can use in COM/DCOM protocol. Vugen Protocol advisor seemingly did not help.

Appreciate your respones.

Thanks,

Alaksh

HI Team,

We are trying to record a java application (JSF) with applet functionality which interactively communicates with SQL db.

We tried multiple protocols which were suggested in protocol advisor and other protocols as well but we were not able to record the applet interaction.

-Java over HTTP
-TruClient Ajax - Firefox (Can't use this protocol as application is designed only for IE)
-Ajax - Click and Script
-Web - HTTP/HTML

Please help us in finding some solution for this issue.

Thanks,
Lakshminarayanan

I am using VUGen v 12 to access apps through a Citrix storefront presented in a browser, using IE, 

I record using Citrix ICA and HTTP. The entire recording executes without trouble. Playback does not work – ending with web 403 error at a web_submit_data statement. Access denied to a folder. With testing, I also get a 403 error at web_custom_request. This Is only on playback.

Record options are set to use “explicit URLs only”, not the “user actions” choice. Playback options include setting “WinInet replay instead of Sockets (Windows only)”.

Playback does not work even if I do not open the target application. I get the error even if the only thing I do is open the web storefront.

What can I do to diagnose and resolve this roadblock?

Hi

I use Loadrunner 11.52 over a Firewall. 2 Machines with Loadcontroller for Vuser scripts and one machine is configured for monitoring over firewall. LR Agent works as service on this machines. All of this three machines connect the MI listener over the firewall. Mi Listener and Loaccontroller are on the same machine. 

All works fine, when the connection to the Monitoring machine is established.  The Monitoring get the data from the servers configures servers,as it should be.

I testthe availability of theloadgeneratorsin the consolethey are displayed as"ready". I do not dothis,the status of themonitormachineremains "down"and therearenomonitortransferringdata.
