Windows 2000 Controller and Load Generator Machines

If your Controller or load generator machines are Windows 2000, configure the following to improve performance:

c^TZ rX)d0
  • Load Generators:To optimize performance and run more virtual users on each load generator machine: In the Control Panel Systems dialog box, click theAdvancedtab, and make sure that theBackground Services option is selected in the Performance Option section.
  • Controller:To optimize performance on the Controller machine: In the Control Panel Systems dialog box, click theAdvancedtab, and make sure that theApplications option is selected in the Performance Option section.

Windows Firewall Considerations

If you're running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows 2003, Windows Firewall is turned on by default. The firewall does not allow certain LoadRunner components to communicate with each other. The Windows firewall therefore needs to be turned off.

fH:g K+`3I ]ddM0

To turn off Windows Firewall:

mda5gW0]q,z}0
  1. OpenStart > Control Panel > Windows Security Center(not in Advanced look of control panel).
  2. ClickWindows Firewall.
  3. In the General tab selectOff.

    4. Note: Turning off Windows Firewall increases the risk to your computer's security.

    @0e|l7b-_a]0

    For each process that needs the firewall you can unblock the process by clicking the unblock button in the popup window that indicates that the program needs it, or by manually tuning the Windows firewall from the Exceptions tab.51Testing软件测试网D(y${3Gv!J3v

HP-UX

To run LoadRunner on HP-UX platforms, you must first install two HP patches, PHSS_17225 and PHSS_17872, which upgrade the C++ libraries. These patches are also available on HP's site.51Testing软件测试网#nD(U X\/K [#F

  1. Login as user root.
  2. Copy PHSS_17225 and PHSS_17872 (from the patch directory of the LR installation) to the /tmp directory.
  3. Run "sh PHSS_17225" - this creates two files: PHSS_17225.text and PHSS_17225.depot.
  4. Run "swinstall -x matchtarget=true -s PHSS_17225.depot" After the patch installation, the system will be rebooted.
  5. Run "sh PHSS_17872" - this creates two files: PHSS_17872.text and PHSS_17872.depot.
  6. Run "swinstall -x matchtarget=true -s PHSS_17872.depot"

  2. In the Advanced tab, clickPerformance settings.
  3. In the Performance Options Data Execution Prevention tab, select the first option,DEP for essential services only.
  4. Click OK to save the settings.
  5. Reboot the machine.

Microsoft .NET

  • When the application under test retrieves a server-activated object by callingnew RemoteObject(), VuGen generates aRemotingServices.Connectfunction.
  • Applications using multiple processes or multiple application domains are only partially supported.

Web Services

  • In Tree view, VuGen cannot display the properties for steps containing simple values forany_objecttype arguments.
  • You cannot change the order of the user handler in scrīpts that use .NET or Axis toolkits.
  • Vuser scrīpts using the .NET toolkit that were created on a machine with .NET Framework 2.0, must be replayed on a machine with the same version of .NET Framework.
  • The recording of requests with attachments or security is not supported.
  • For the .NET toolkit, attributes are viewed as elements in the API ofweb_service_call, but they are sent as attributes in the soap request.
  • Importing services from different Quality Center projects or instances into a single scrīpt is not supported.
  • The shortcut keys of the editing operations (Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete) do not work with a right-click in the XML Checkpoints grid. Use the Window's right-click menu for these operations.
  • Referenced WSDLs that are located on the file system are not supported. When importing services, if the WSDL imports another WSDL, make sure that the import is specified by a URL, and not a location on the file system.
  • It is recommended not to make any changes to a test that is currently open in Quality Center, either from VuGen, or from a different instance of Quality Center.
  • VuGen only supports Web Service messages over JMS message queues, but not topics

WAP

  • Cannot record in secure mode.Workaround:Record scrīpt in non-secure mode and then replay it in secured mode.
  • Cannot replay a scrīpt in connection-less mode.

Web (Click and scrīpt)

  • Does not support VBscrīpt
  • No longer supports replay of Applets and ActiveX objects. This functionality is now part of the new AJAX (Click and scrīpt) protocol
  • Does not support user actions on ActiveX objects and Macromedia Flash
  • Scalability is lower than the Web HTML protocol, depending on the size and functionality of the business process
  • Replay snapshots may differ slightly from the actual Web page
  • Support of right-to-left languages is limited (e.g., bi-directional or reversed text may not be processed as expected)
  • Recording of an application in a specific language (e.g., French, Japanese) must be performed in a machine whose default locale (inSettings > Control Panel > Regional Options) is the same language
  • Load generator machines must have exactly the same default locale as the recording machine
  • UNIX load generator machines are not supported for locales other than U.S. English

SAP (Click and scrīpt)

  • Cannot define transactions to measure time of a subset of steps done in a modal dialog
  • During recording, if a user double-clicks on a tree-view tree cell outside of its text, VuGen records "Select" instead of "Activate." This results in a missing POST in replay.
  • If the list of retrieved values contains a scroll bar, cannot select an item that requires scrolling in order to get it from the server.
  • Scalability is lower than the SAP Web protocol, depending on the size and functionality of the business process.
  • Does not support theReplace with Alternate Navigationrun-time setting.
  • The SAP (Click and scrīpt) Business Process Report does not include snapshots.
  • To end a recording session, make sure to log out and not just close the browser.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

  • This protocol was not tested on AMD platforms.
  • Cannot record an already open RDP session—only new sessions

Custom Protocols

  • To run custom protocols (created with the Protocol SDK) on Load Generator machines, either install the Load Generator using the main LoadRunner installation screen, or by selecting bothLoad GeneratorandProtocol SDKfrom the Custom setup.
