Hi,
As a customer you can try to post your question in the LoadRunner Support Customer forum at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/LoadRunner-Support-Customer/bd-p/loadrunner-support-customer-forum
When you are trying to find the protocol which needs to be used during recording it is very important to know the communication protocol which is used in the communication between the client and the server: is it http, tcp, etc. Is the client part web-based or it is a desktop application? What technologies it is using, etc.
In your case as far as I see from the case it is 64 bits app which is using TCP/IP to communication to the application server and a normal oracle client to connect with the database.
So your options will be to use a protocol which
- supports 64 bit recording as per http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/document/KM00429332
- and (TCP/IP) communication
As far as I see you have tried windows sockets and Oracle – 2 Tier which meet the requirements listed above i.e 64 bit application recording and (TCP/IP) communication.
In case you do not manage to record your application with the standard VuGen protocols you can use as a workaround gui-based protocols such as RDP and Citrix. In this case you will be able to run comparatively small number of Vusers during the load test.
Kind regards,
