Enhancing Vuser Scripts

-
1.   You define transactions to measure the performance of the server. Each transaction measures the time it takes for the server to respond to specified Vuser requests
2.   You configure multiple Vusers to act simultaneously by creating a rendezvous point.
3.   Rendezvous points are only effective in Action section(s)—not init or end.
4.   lr_get_attrib_string - Returns a command line parameter string.
5.   lr_get_host_name - Returns the name of the machine running the Vuser script.
6.   lr_get_master_host_name - Returns the name of the machine running the Controller. Not applicable when working with the HP Business Availability Center.
7.   lr_whoami -Returns the name of a Vuser executing thescript.
8.   lr_debug_message -Sends a debug message to the Output window or the Business Process Monitor log file.
9.   lr_error_message - Sends an error message to the Output window or the Business Process Monitor log files.
10.                lr_get_debug_message - Retrieves the current message class.
11.                lr_log_message- Sends an output message directly to the log file, output.txt, located in the Vuser script directory. This function is useful in preventing output messages from interfering with TCP/IP traffic.
12.                lr_output_message- Sends a message to the Output window or the Business Process Monitor log files.
13.                lr_set_debug_message- Sets a message class for output messages.
14.                lr_vuser_status_message- Sends a message to the Vuser status area in the Controller. Not applicable when working with the HP Business Availability Center.
15.  lr_message- Sends a message to the Vuser log and Output window or the Business Process Monitor log files.
16.  The behavior of the lr_message, lr_output_message, and lr_log_message functions are not affected by the script’s debugging level in the Log run-time settings—they will always send messages.
17.  Synchronization applies to RTE Vuser scripts only. The time that a user waits between performing successive actions is known as the think time.
18.  When you record a Java Vuser script, lr_think_time statements are not generated in the Vuser script.
19.  VuGen uses 32-bit encryption.

How to use a value between two different threads in Jmeter

How to use a value between two different threads: Let us see how we can use the extracted value in one thread can be used in a different thread: As shown below we have Two threads (Thread Group – 1 and Thread Group -2). Under Thread Group -1 we have a HTTP Request where we extracted Request_Id and Session_Id. In our example we will use the same Ids in Thread Group -2 We have BeanShell PostProcessor to log the output of the variables in the output log. The Lines in the both BeanShell is as below: log.info("Request Id in Thread 1 = " + "${Request_Id}"); log.info("Session Id in Thread 1 = " + "${Session_Id}"); Now if we run the Script we get the below output: As we see the values of both the IDs are not passed to Thread Group-2. Now we will add few lines in the BeanShell PostProcessor as below and run again: ${__setProperty(Request_Id,"${Request_Id}")}; ${__setProperty(Session_Id,"${Session_Id}")};

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle

Steps to Analyze AWR Report in Oracle AWR -   Automatic   workload repository is a collection of persistent   system performance   statistics   owned by SYS. It resides in SYSAUX   tablespace . By default snapshot are generated once every 60 min and maintained for 7 days . Each snapshot has a unique ID know as "snap_id". Snapshot detail can be found in " dba_hist_snapshot " view.   If we have Database performance issue and not the Database machine, then AWR Report is the place to look at. AWR is not used for real-time performance monitoring like the v$ tables. It is used for historical analysis of performance. AWR complements, but doesnot replace real-time monitoring. Once AWR Report is generated in Oracle, the next task is to analyze it. By going through the AWR Report we can easily solve issues like slow database, high wait events, slow query and many more issues. Even though the report is lengthy, Analyzing or Reading relevant part of AWR Report can

Correlation and checking in Results

Correlation and checking In Previous post we have randomly selected value for depart and arrive. Each Depart and arrive have a outboundFlight and returnFlight field, which changes according to the selected values. For E.g.: When we recorded the script with depart as “London” and arrive as “Paris” the below flight details was recorded accordingly to the selection.      /*web_submit_form("reservations.pl_2",          "Snapshot=t5.inf",          ITEMDATA,          "Name=outboundFlight", "Value=241;97;03/28/2014", ENDITEM,          "Name=returnFlight", "Value=422;102;03/29/2014", ENDITEM,          "Name=reserveFlights.x", "Value=26", ENDITEM,          "Name=reserveFlights.y", "Value=8", ENDITEM,          LAST); */ As we see above the outboundFlight and returnFlight is hard coded and needs to be correlated according to the selected value. So inserting the c
