Most of the time, we need to know the data that is being transmitted to and back from the server in the Replay Log to troubleshoot the scripts. And what we usually do, is to configure the settings in the Runtime Settings through the following options:
In LoadRunner (as of this writing which is version 9.0), the supported databases that can be monitored are mainly proprietary, such as, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Sybase and DB2. Open sources such as MySQL are not supported. In order to monitor this type of databases, we have to employ alternative methods. And one of it, is to utilize SiteScope.
MySQL database monitoring will require SiteScope to be deployed acting as a bridging collector before it can be displayed in LoadRunner. The connection is illustrated in the following. Read the rest of this entry »
There are situations where recording application using protocol Web (HTTP/HTML) encounters problem such as (1) not recording events, (2) not launching or (3) crashing. The context may deviate however the below list aims to provide a quick-and-dirty resolution to the problems. Obviously, the quick-and-dirty may work/not work in different environment and situations, however it will help you scope down the problem in a sequential and logical manner.

This document is intended for an audience that is unfamiliar with the RMI-Java protocol or Java Technology. Follow the below procedures, step-by-step sequence to ensure that the Java application can be invoked and recorded properly. If you failed at any point of step, apply the appropriate solution before proceeding to the next step as the sequence below is designed to ensure that all requirements are met for the recording to succeed.
What we want to achieve in an overview is as followed:
Let’s dive down to the detail configuration of Windows System Resource monitoring. First, I’m leaving out the configuration in Controller and will be discussing only the monitoring setup outside of LoadRunner. If you want the details for configuring in LoadRunner, I encouraged you to refer to the Controller User Guide that comes along with the installer. (Which I may discuss it if feasible in future).
Second, concepts and fundamentals must be aligned before proceeding and these, can be found in the previous posts, “How does the monitoring work in LoadRunner?” and “4 Monitoring Implementation Models”.
