Ok...I ended up sitting through about a 2 hour session with my LoadRunner guy today...apparently what's happening is they are trying to track certain events within dialog windows. When they went into their logged script afterwards they found that there was nothing between the 'start of event' and 'end of event' brackets...so they thought nothing was being logged...it just wasn't logging it between the brackets...so tragedy averted...but here is another question...in case anyone knows LoadRunner seems to track allot of information that I wouldn't think an automation tool would need....but it doesn't seem to be able to replay the login sequence...any advice?...I'll do some web searching to see if I can help them out...:)

We have not tried using it against 7.1 though. Remedy Midtier is a fairly standard java application. If the people creating the scripts in loadrunner have used it against a java application before, it should work similarly. thanks Kelly _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LJ LongWing (Head) Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 14:21 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Loadrunner ** Through Mid-Tier? _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 1:18 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Loadrunner ** No, I haven't used Load Runner - not directly anyways. A team doing testing on one of my projects I had been on in the past has used it against ARS 6.3. I don't recall them having complain about the same thing.

What are the actions defined on Window Open/Loaded when that dialog is opened? Maybe one of more actions defined is causing this?

What the testing team is telling me is that load runner tracks clicks, load times, etc. As soon as the dialog is opened they are unable to collect any data on what events are occurring nor timing metrics of any sort. They again regain collecting as soon as the window closes. Everything happening is through Remedy and non of it is unsupported...just standard set fields and the sort. Is anyone successfully running Roadrunner against Remedy Mid-Tier? _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 11:51 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Loadrunner ** What exactly do you mean by saying that you loose visibility to the application? Does whatever you say is happening, happen only when you open that dialog in the Mid-Tier? Does it work alright over the native client? What are the actions that are defined to fire on opening that form (On Window Open / Loaded actions)? Any actions unsupported by the Mid-Tier?

Has anyone experienced something similar and is there anything I can do to help them get it working on Mid-Tier 7.1 __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
