Hello

There could be multiple reasons for the issue, like antiviral software or DEP Windows functionality enabled. Java security settings could affect a LR’s recording process as well.

Please try to do the same recording but with LR’s WEB (HTTP/HTML) protocol, to check wither the issue relates to Oracle recording functionality or to WEB only.

Thanks, Dmitry

During replay of a Web service script where the soap request is being sent over JMS, the replay fails with the error message

"<faultstring xmlns="">Unable to dispatch</faultstring><faultactor xmlns=""/></SOAP-ENV:Fault></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>".
Action.c(5): Error:Web service call "XXXXX" execution failed
Ending action Action.”

This is becasue the request which is going thru Vugen is missing a required property. After comparing how the request is sent outside Vugen and thru vugen, the difference is identified as the property is missing when the request is going thru vigen.

Adding the property before the step where the request is sent helped in fixing the proble. Here is the step added:

"jms_set_message_property("Soap Action","SOAPAction","EDMS/Fax");"

Can you attach the error screenshots?

Hello Praveen,

In LR 12.02 and earlier - no way.

The only solutions are:

- wait for upcoming LR 12.50. It will have command TE_disconnect which allow to force terminal to disconnect. Also this command will be automatically recorded on any disconnection event (e.g issuing "exit" command to terminal or exiting from terminal using menu) except abnormal termination.

- if you have no time to wait and your LR is 12.x, please open Incident and I'll make patched DLLs for you version of LR. The only difference to LR 12.50 will be absence of syntax highlighting and no help support for new command.

Best regards,

Demian

Please see the screenshots.

Error message popped up after clicking on create button. 

I have installed _00033 and _00048 patches also

Seems like an application specific issue. Might need to open a sujpport ticket.

Does this application work properly in standard mode? You cam check that by using real IE browser, open developer tools using F12 key and set the document mode as standard.

If it works correctly in standards mode, can you please check what happens when you just navigate to the application using TC IE browser without recording.

Your logon call should look like this:

imap_logon("ImapLogon",

                                                "URL=imaps://abcdefg:zzzzzz@imap.exchangeserver.com:993",

                                                LAST);

You should not pass your Mailbox ID anywhere in the imap_logon() call. Try to use it in one of the appropiate functions (imal_select, imap_subscribe, imap_status) instead.

The HTML is recording. It's just not recording the Oracle window

Hi,

Looks like it's time to upgrade.

Thank you

YES

I looked at the updates that our operators pushed to my system and sure enough KB3038314 was there.

Removed it, and I now have TC working again.

I now have a post-it on my monitor with the words "KB3038314 - TC Killer" so I know what to look for next time they push updates.

THANK YOU NeilChikode

HP LR 12.2 (OS Win 7, 64bit)

Http/Html protocol

Application is an MS .asp/

Security SSL - https://

The application is designed as such that most new actions in application come in as a new frame in separate window.

Rest of the functionalities are working fine with LR and I can capture and replay without any issues.

The issue is when trying to capture a report (it can be also downloaded to as .pdf manually ) I get the error message an page break in the page and doesn't record and which has no issues when tried manually.

Please can someone help me with this, I have attached a snap shot of the application, if it helps.

Thanks,

AJ

Hello

There are 3 different recording modes for Web Protocol:

1. HTML-based script - A script describing user actions
2. HTML-based script - A script containing explicit URLs only
3. URL-based script

What is the difference between 2 and 3?

Thank you in advance.

I have recorded one part of my application which is registering for an appointment (date and time). while replay it without any change it has to show error as 'already booked' but its not throwing error and the script in VuGen showing as passed. but when i do the same part manually it shows error.

If i try to register the appointment through LoadRunner script the appoinment is not registering.

i have used JavaOverHTTP protocol and LR12.02

Also when i try to correlate i could see the design studio is in disabled form.

Kindly help me to over come as of my client says JavaOverHTTP is enough for scripting but i need to clarify with protocol bundles before start. which bundle is prefered for java application.

Hi,

1. Is CitrixAgent installed on your Citrix server? In case it is installed, please check if problematic application can be recorded when Citrix Agent is disabled.

2. Does runCitrixClient.exe process simply exit on "Initializing..." stage or does is crash? You can check this, for example, using procdump from SysinternalsSuite - launch procdump.exe -ma –e -w runCitrixClient.exe before starting the recording and check whether crashdump will be created or not.

3. Please take a look into Windows EventLog - are there messages about problems in the Citrix client components (wfica32.exe, wfcrun32.exe...) which preceed the closing of runCitrixClient.exe process?

4. Regarding "Unexpected disconnect" - one of possible causes of this issue is getting into existing session on Citrix server.
Could you check that during replay your script starts new session ? 

Hello All,

I have scripted an SAP Portal using SAP web protocol and scripting was successful. While reply, the status shows passed, but while checking in the backend it has not hit the server. iam using LR 12.02. can you please help me in this.

regards,

Nirupa.

Hi there,

I'm trying to record a SAP script with SAP GUI protocol + COM/DCOM.

I have some questions:

1-. I've enabled scripting in SAP and when I replay the script I get an error: "Warning: The scripting interface is disabled on SAP server. No actions can be recorded on this connection". Should server's admin enable it?

2-. Auto-logon is not working. It stops in login window.

3-. I have the code in vuser_init section. Should I move it all to action?

4-. I get an error: Error from vuser_init.c (65) : lrc___Connection_OpenSchema : hr = -2146825037

do you know why I get this?

Thanks for your help.

Juan

You can continue with your current version of LR and use MySQL. This has been covered previously in this forum and a search on the web should get you the files required. I have used it extensively with both LoadRunner and QTP.

There is a security patch which is downloading without the user's intervention.

All you need to do is start TruClient Firefox, and the update is installed "automagically."  There is no need to start the browser as stand-alone, either. The Truclient session will cause the install By Itself.

So far, it APPEARS - but is not fully confirmed - you can get around the problem with these steps:

- Replace the ../bin/firefox directory with the opriginal version from the CD.

- Reboot

- Unplug the network cable.

- Start the Firefox install from within LoadRunner/bin directory

- Enable the menus (<alt> key)

- tools menu, select Options, click the "Advanced" button, then "Updates" tab

     - Turn off ALL UPDATES.

To proof out the fix:

- create a new Truclient - Firefox protocol script

- Click "develop script"

- Now you should be OK....  Back up the Firefox directory (since it's now not going to update) and keep it handy - you may get nailed a few more times, we're not yet sure.

If you see the "Select Your Add-ons" screen (Attachment TC-FFx_Patched_Start.png) you're running a "patched" version of firefox, and the TruClient add-on is disabled - it's incompatible.

The second image (if the system is working, I can't be sure it's uploading correctly) shows the "Update History" for Firefox.  the fix is "firefox 12.0 (20120420145725)", it is a security update, and I can't seem to get rid of it.

Of note: It looks like it affects old scripts, precluding viewing the steps or editing the script.

It looks like NEW scripts may work.

The reason for all the uncertainty is, the patch appears to download regardless of whether or not we open firefox stand-alone.

I ran the steps above before I took the screenshot of the Update History, and the machine was unplugged from the network while I did the steps for disable the updates.

I then opened FFx stand-alone, and - "HEY! There's the security update in the update history!" 

+++

An aside: There are two services in Windows for updates. One is know, and you can simmply turn off the automatic updates.

There's a second one, for whem M$ decides you MUST have this fix. It's always on, unless you go digging through KBs and find out how to turn it off. Your machines all have this back door built in if they run Winblows.

Maybe Firefox decided to do the same?

---------->>> PLEASE UPDATE WITH ANY FINDINGS FROM FOLLOWING THESE STEPS. We REALLY need keep things stable, our environment here stinks. (No control, no Admin access, a User Access Control software called "Beyond Trust" which stops us from doing about half our job, and a change rate that a glacier considers slow. We upgraded to Windows 7 THIS YEAR; windows 10 comes out in JUNE. We went to LR 11.52 Last Year, October. So I REALLY need any other eyes on this to shoot back their findings, PLEASE!)

Added the images.  I had to go to another machine and use Firefox (We're an IE-only shop that's on Version 9...)
