E-business suites: ISSUE WITH RECORDING SCRIPTS IN R12.1 USING LOADRUNNER 9

Question

My Customer use Mercury LoadRunner to execute our performance stress tests. The standard feature of
creating a transaction clickstream for the LoadRunner tool, requires that the tool know the object
(field, button, LOV, text). The way all performance tools identify an object is by RIGHT CLICKING
on the screen and selecting VIEW SOURCE.
Unfortunately, VIEW SOURCE is displaying the R12 Oracle object names with garbage appended at the
end of the string.
Examples of expected values:
value="DefaultFormName"
type="hidden" value="Cost_Allocation_KFF"
But what they get in View Source is as follows:
value="DefaultFormName Eb65TJbm "
type="hidden" value="Cost_Allocation_KFF 3WPwQoB7V "
BUSINESS IMPACT
The issue has the following business impact:
Due to this issue, users cannot complete a stress test
And without a stresstest, They cannot go-live with R12
=================================
This is generic isssue across all applications including sshr,
They are getting Dynamically Generated Characters in the field names while viewing the source
code of the JSP.
> For example, following comes while doing 'View -> Source' in IE:
>
> <input id="_FORM" type="hidden" value="DefaultFormNameuf3GKIsO" name="_FORM">
>
> There are extra characters 'uf3GKIsO' in 'DefaultFormName' .
I will appreciate if any one has come acrosss this kind of issue, please let us know how it can be resolved.
Any help / tips are appreciated.
Regards

I found the same issue but resolved it by myself. The user table of the MySQL changed, my guess. You need to add another 'Y' or 'N' to the end of this statement in the build.xml of DataAppLoader:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL,'N');
The original one is like this:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL);
The new column added is password_expired. Y or N to indicate the password is good or not.
