ECM performance testing with mercury loadrunner

Hi all,
A team within our technical divisions is currently trying to record mercury loadrunner scripts to performance test the ECM standard functionality that we have implemented on our portal. They are having a lot of problems to get these to work, they are complaining about random errors being generated, http 500 errors and values that are not passed. Now, I realise this isn't a lot of information and frankly I don't have much to give you myself as I'm not part of that team. But I was wondering if anyone has run performance tests on ECM with mercury loadrunner scripts and were succesful. To be honest I don't see what the problem is with recording and running these scripts, but the pressure is on me to try and resolve the issues. They keep saying they've got errors when running their scripts but I can't see anything in the logs.
Does anyone have any experience on performance testing ECM with loadrunner?
Thanks for your time.
best regards,
Dion

Hi James,
thanks for your replies. I don't have access to the scripts as I'm not part of the team. I'm sitting on the SAP side trying to support them but I can't understand what the problem would be. They claim to have issues with the parameters for the ECM in their scripts and I was wondering if anyone else had similar difficulties recording scripts for these components.
regards,
Dion

Performance testing with PetStore

I'm going to make some performance tests with WebLogic 7.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.
Sun´s PetStore is some kind of basic web application. So I decided to use it for
test application. The PetStore isn´t the best J2EE application, but it suits for
this test just fine.
Has anybody already made database creation clauses or scripts?

RMS performance testing using HP Loadrunner

Hi,
We are currently planning on how to do our performance testing of Oracle Retail. We are planning to use HP Loadrunner and use different virtual users for Java, GUI, webservices and database requests. Have anyone here done performance testing in RMS using HP Loadrunner and what kind of setup did you use?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gustav

Hi Gustav
How is your performance testing of Oracle Retail ? Did you get good results ?
I need to start a RMS/RPM performance testing project and I would like to know how to implement an appropriated structure . Any informations about servers , protocols , tools used to simulate a real production environment would be very appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

SolMan Diagnostics integration with Mercury LoadRunner

Hi,
I've been reading about the new SolMan Diagnostics and specifically about the Going Live Check that includes a load test of the 3 most important customer click scenarios in SAP Portal using Load Runner tools.
My questions are:
1. The 3 most important customer scenarios are defined by SAP or by the customer?
2. The LoadRunner Generator installed in the Sol Man act as a client to generate the load on the SAP Portal? The script is running in Sol Man hitting the SAP Portal?
3. If I have my own licensed LoadRunner Controller can I
connect to the same Generator installed in the Solution Manager to run my own scenarios and take advantage of the Sol Man Diagnostics integration?
Thanks for your time and responses.

Hello Vitor,
There are currently no known issues with version enabled tables that are partitioned. The merge operation may need to access all of the partitions of a table depending on the data that needs to be moved/copied from the child to the parent. This is the reason for the 'Partition Range All' step in the plan that you provided. The majority of the remaining steps are due to the hints that have been added, since this plan has provided the best performance for us in the past for this particular statement. If this is not the case for you, and you feel that another plan would yield better performance, then please let me know and I will take a look at it.
One suggestion would be to make sure that the table was been recently analyzed so that the optimizer has the most current data about the table.
Performance issues are very hard to fix without a reproducible test case, so it may be advisable to file a TAR if you continue to have significant performance issues with the mergeWorkspace operation.
Thank You,
Ben

10Gbps performance issues with Nexus1000V

Hello,
currently we prepare the implemention from several ESX-Hosts with 10gbps NICs. The ESX-Hosts are connected via 10gbps SFP+ ShortRange to Nexus5548UP switches with 2x FEX C2232PP (each ESX host ist connected to a diffferent fex , both fex are connected to the same 5548UP via a 40gbps "channel" ).
At the ESX-Hosts is a Nexus1000V with version 4.2.1.SV1.4a installed.
During some Vmotion performance tests the transfer rate between 2 ESX-hosts was only 5-6gbps. But when we move the ESX-Nics from the Nexus1000v to a vswitch, the transfer rate is 9-10gbps. At the Nexus1000V is no rate limiting configured.
What could be the reason for that behaviour?
Regards
Hendrik

Robert,
we did the performance test with a large VM thas use 124Gbyte RAM and we did this several times. When we move the VM to the other host, we see a 40-50% higher transfer time when we use the n1v.
These are the test results
Transfer time with vswitch: min. 2:05min max: 2:10min
Transfer time with n1v: min. 3:10min max. 3:34min
In the Vcenter screenshot I attached you can see the difference between such a vmotion transfer via vswitch and Nexus1000V. The first 3 curves show a vmotion transfer via vswitch, the last 2 curves a transfer via Nexus1000V.
I don't see any noticeable things about a high CPU load or memory usage in the VSMs during the vmotion. At Nexus5548UP I can see many TX-Pause frames during the transfers, but this happens for n1v and vswitch.
I've to open a TAC case for this issue, I will update this discussion when I get new information.
Thanks+Regards
Hendrik

SAP performance test, stress test using HP LoadRunner

Hi experts,
Our project is going to Go live soon, customer want to ensure about performance of SAP system and require some testing.
I am preparing HP LoadRunner script and perform a most complex scenario for stress test. But with performance test, we cannot perform because we do not have enough transaction data
Please advice me some solution for this case
Thanks & Best Regards,
Luong Doan

Hello,
If you are looking for simulating load using minimalist tools, a crude way to do this would be configuring Ecatt scripts and running them from multiple machines
But I think it doesn't work for web based transactions.

What are the better load/performance testing tools available for Flex Application with BlazeDS RO?

In my application is designed with Flex3, ActionScript3, BlazeDS Remote Objects.
Just i tried with OPENSTA but i cant do the dynamic parameterization in their generated scripts because the response of the calls is binary values and also we cant get the response using with SCL language.
While testing with OPENSTA with HttpService, i can do the dynamic parameterization and got the response.
can give the information about the below questions
whether we can do dynamic parameterization with OPENSTA for Flex Remote objects?
and what are the better load/performance tools available for Flex Remote Objects?

Your approach is fine, depending on how many and what type of CFCs you are talking about. If they are "singletons" - that is, only one instance of each CFC is needed to be in memory and can be reused/shared from multiple parts of your application - caching them in the application scope is common. Just make sure they are thread safe ("var" or local.* all your method variables).
You might consider taking advantage of a dependency injection framework, such as DI/1 (part of the FW/1 MVC framework), ColdSpring, or WireBox (a module of the ColdBox platform that can be used independently). They have mechanisms for handling and caching singletons. Then you wouldn't have to go to the application scope to get your CFC instances.

Performance testing doubt with XI.

Hi All,
How is performance testign done inside XI?
We need to propose to the testing team the different methids of testing the interfaces that run through XI.
Is there some document available to explain the same?
Also any other method of testing for XI?
Thanks.

Hi
How is performance testign done inside XI?
Performance testing can be done by passing certain number of the messages and you can get how fast those messages being processed in Integration Engine or BPE.
On RWB, you can get the reading from "Performance Monitoring"
We need to propose to the testing team the different methids of testing the interfaces that run through XI.
Unit test is done by developer.
End-to-Ent test: is functionality test of your interface, a basic message are triggered from your sending system, and final verification point should be on your receiving system.
Loading test: A test to stress application server to identify bottbleneck:
e.g. can my system process single message with size of 50 MB ?
if I sending 10000 messages within very short of time period, is my system is able to process them without error ?
UAT: User acceptance test: This test is conducted by business user, will execute all the business scenarios to see if your interface can handle without error.
Hope it helps

Besides LoadRunner, any other SAP Performance Test tool?

Hi, Dear All:
I'm doing some planning for the SAP performance test. But our budget is very limited. It seems my company could not afford LR. LoadRunner took over 95% of this market. Beside LR, I heard Worksoft Certify is another option. Is there any other tool or open source tool?
Thank you all so much in advance.

SAP Performance Testing - Manual or Automated?

Our organization is attempting to develop a regular performance testing effort. Everything wehave read points to using a tool, such as LoadRunner, to do performance testing. However, we're just starting and simply want to baseline several transactions, jobs, programs, etc (less than 30 items). We have tools to monitor the backend results and grab metrics, but no tools to automate the testing itself. Does anyone do their performance testing manually? What are some advantages to doing this?

Hi Yogi,
I think HP LoadRunner is one of the best tools for SAP performance testing. I did it for many years. It is now included with Solution Manager. Here is the link for for HP Mercury regarding performance testing.

SAP provides Load testing/Performance testing tool

Kindly suggest any Load testing tool which is provided by SAP itself.
*Note to author of this question: I have taken the liberty of moving this to the proper thread
cheers, Marilyn

Hi Swapan,
I would be glad to know if you can give me a step by step screenshot document for a Loadtest on SAP Application ( Any Module).
Y i am asking you all this,.. well, downloading and installing a loadrunner on a desktop/standallone machine is very simple,.. but when it comes to Network environment where you have Controller installed on one machine and Load Generators on Another machine.. and Diagnostics installed on ( i donno where it will be installed ) user/server machine.. it is really difficult to imagine/assume/picturize the whole scenerio by taking x as example..
I would be really glad and thankfull if someone can let us know, how to quick start a project..
I have gone thru the Documentation " How to Perform SAP EP Load Testing.." good enough to understand but it would be more good if someone have articulated with interactive screenshots..
Ok fine, now my next question is , how do we go with SAP GUI protocol..
can someone give me an example with some interactive screenshots..
If someone is working in SAP. then you may please contribute your knowledge by all means.. like https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/ba95531a-0e01-0010-5e9b-891fc040a66c [original link is broken]
This is a very beautiful video example on SAP Bex reports,.. with video and Voice..
Recorded by using Camtasia Studio software , which will record you desktop,.. how you do , while you explain in voice..
Hope someone comes up with a nice video presentation on SAP LOADRUNNER..
Can you please show me /upload any document with some interactive screenshots on configuring Loadrunner with SAP and testing with SAP Gui protocol ,..on any one module of SAP.. either it be SD, MM, or APO..
Infact as of now, i am in an urgent need of a sample scenerio of Loadtest by using Mercury Loadrunner ( SAP GUI Protocol) on any SAP Module with some interactive screenshots,...
I appreciate your quick response..
Will award maximum points.
Please help me.. by mailing any document with some sample scenerio's step by step to my mail id: [email protected].
Thanks
Vinni..

Regarding Test Director(Mercury Test)

Hi,
Can any one tell me how to work in Test director(Mercury Testing), BPT, Load Runner, Change Impact Testing and QTP. I want all steps with screen shots.
point will Rewarded.
Waiting for Quick Response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

I guess two previous replies answer your query. In case you do not want to read all those documents, Mercury provides several tools - Winrunner and QTP for automated functional testing (QA) and LoadRunner for load testing (Performance related). For all of those three tools, you need to create some scripts for different use cases. Test Director is a tool which allows us to maintain those scripts (a repository) which can be reused for multiple test cases. Test Director keeps test plans (a list of test cases you need to test), etc. In other word, TestDirector is an integrated QA enviroment where you can keep all the pieces together to run QA activities "systematically".

SAP Business Explorer Analyzer Performance testing

Hi, All
I don't have any experience in SAP at all. So maybe I will ask silly questions.
I was asked to provide performance testing for SAP Business Explorer Analyzer. As you know it is Excel base application with ActiveX control from SAP. HP Loadrunner doesn't support such configuration (It can only work with SAPGUI). So I am forced to search for other possible solutions. So maybe here I can get ideas and opinions about options:
1. I asked SAP admins about possibility to do the same things what users do from BEx (query execution + some drill down in data) in SAPGUI, maybe with predefined parameters or with additional customization. Unfortunately I've got an answer that it isn't possible at all. Is it really?
2. Another idea is to simulate what users do in BEx with VBA since anyway Excel interacts with BEx engine via DBA. There I met another problem. There is no any documentation about ActiveX components (e.g. com.sap.bi.et.analyzer.addin.BExConnect) or API used in BExAnalyzer.xla. The question is "is it possible or not to fully automate all data manipulation with VBA" and "Where can I get documentation about SAP VBA API?"
Thanks,
Alexander

You can run the queries with drilldown using transaction rsrt in list mode and interact via standard screen functions
This won't however give you the WAN or the presentation server overhead (ie formatting of the cells with excel wrappers of styles)
Read here for a testing example
