  • FORMS CRASHES (FRM-92101) ON AS 10.1.2.0.2 DURING LOAD PERFORMANCE TESTING

    Hiya
    We have been doing Load Performance Testing using testing tool QALoad on our Forms 10g application. After about 56 virtual users(sessions) have logged-in into our application, if a new user tries to log-in into our application, the Forms crashes. As soon as we encounter the FRM-92101 error, no more new forms session are able to start.
    The Load Testing software start up each process very quickly, about every 10 seconds.
    The very first form that appears is the login form of our application. So before the login screen appears, we get FRM-92101 error message.
    However, those users who have already logged-in into our application, they are able to carry on their tasks.
    We are using Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2. I have checked the status on Application Server through Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. The OC4J Instance is up and running. Also, server's configuration is pretty good. It is running on 2 CPUs (AMD Opteron 3GHz) and has 32GB of memory. The memory used by those 56 sessions is less than 3GB.
    The Applicatin Server is running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64bit Enterprise Edition.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi Shekhawat
    In Windows Registry go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
    In the right hand side panel, you will find String Value as Windows. Now double click on it (Windows). In the pop up window you will see a string similar to the following one:
    %SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,768 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
    Now if you read it carefully in the above string, you will find this parameter
    SharedSection=1024,20480,768
    Here SharedSection specifies the system and desktop heaps using the following format:
    SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzzz
    The default values are 1024,3072,512
    All the values are in Kilobytes (KB)
    xxxx = System-wide Heapsize. There is no need to modify this value.
    yyyy = IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the IO Desktop.
    zzzz = Non-IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the Non-IO Desktop.
    On our server the values were as follows :
    1024,20480,768
    We changed the size of Non-IO desktop heapsize from 768 to 5112. With 5112 KB we managed to test our application for upto 495 virtual users.

  • Load & Performance testing of VB applications

    How we can perform load & performance testing of VB6 applications? Are there any tools available for same?

    You could look at something like this:
    http://www.aholme.co.uk/Profiler/Install.htm
    However VB6 as a development environment is no longer supported by Microsoft and this forum is not for VB6 questions, but VB.NET questions.

  • Load/Performance Testing using ECATT

    Please provide the process to perform Load/Performance Testing using ECATT ASAP. 
    What are the T-Codes are required to fulfill Load/Performance Testing using ECATT.
    Thanks in ADVANCE.

    Hello Colleague,
    Here are the steps that you need to do, for performance testing using ST30.
    Use transaction ST30 to invoke Global Performance Analysis ( Widely used for performance tests of certain transactions ).
    On the eCATT test tab, Key in the folloing data
    Log ID ( needs to be created ONLY for the first run ),
    Performance test ( logically the entries for Perrformance test field are of the format:
    Logid_name/PERF_transaction_name/systemname/client/date ),
    Name of the testconfiguration ( You need to create a test configuration for the eCATT to be used in ST30, use the same name for the created Test
    configuration as that of the test script ),
    No of times the test configuration needs to be run as the preprocessor to create the required backend data, No of times the test configutation needs to
    run as processor ( both these fields are filled with 5 and 5 or 5 and 10 respectively for performance measurements, but in your case you can give a 1 and 1
    or 0 and 1 in these fields for your requirements )
    With all the check boxes in the Programming guidelines and Distributed Statistics Data unchecked ( unless req ). In the data comparison ( use No - option
    for With values ).
    Click on the eCATT test only button to start the performance run using ST30.
    Now the procedure stated above makes the eCATT test configuration execute as many times as the sum of pre and pro given by the user AT ONE STRETCH ONLY. But if there is a requirement of having the eCATT execute after an interval, we follow a different approach.
    We have a VB script that will create a ECA session, call se37, select the required test package and then execute all the required test cases ( eCATTs ) in the
    test package and also ensure the KILL ECA session at the end of the execution.
    We then create a batch file to execute the VB script and call the batch file for our executions
    In you case, please schedule the execution of the batch file for every 30 mins ( or any such time duration ) using the simple scheduler functionality provided by
    Windows.
    The only problem with this is that whenever we have some system messages / Software updates / any new screens the scheduling is bound to fail as the called VB script does not handle the new situation. Please also ensure that the user whose Password has been given in the scheduler has to be the user who has logged into the system during the execution period.
    So, to summarize : ST30 will only allow you to run the eCATT as many times as required, but only at ONE STRETCH, you need to use the second mechanism to make the eCATT run effectively after a predetermined time without any user interaction.
    FYI : A new feature to handle the scheduling of executions is being developed, will post the details when it is available and the usage steps soon. We also have a new command called PERF ENDPERF in eCATT also ( a new development ), kindly go through the documentations for the new developments in eCATTs for the same
    Thanks and best regards,
    Sachin

  • 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.

  • Load & Performance Testing In The Cloud - Silverlight Support

    I currently have Visual Studio Premium with MSDN. I know in order to use Load Testing in the cloud I will have to upgrade to Ultimate.
    One of the our web apps that I need to do a load and performance test on uses SilverLight.
    Here is my questions. I want to verify that the provisioned virtual machines in the cloud when I run load testing will support Silverlight. I know it sounds like a silly question but before I go to Management to approve this upgrade I need to verify it will
    work. No need to waste money.
    Thanks

    Hi rgelston iso.com,
    The web tests: Web tests are used to test the functionality of Web applications and to test Web applications under load. Web tests are used both in performance tests and stress tests. It works at the protocol layer by issuing HTTP requests.
    Reference：
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff520100%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    So the real issue is that whether your apps meet the above requirements.
    For example, for the general Silverlight Apps, it would have some limitations if you want to create web performance tests.

  • JMS Grid Load & Performance Testing

    Does anyone know if this has been done/ can be done? We are implementing a JMS Grid with JCAPS. None of the proprietary testing tools I've seen support PTP testing of this type of messaging as it doesn't have a JNDI binding.
    I have to find some method to apply messages directly into the system to assess the performance characteristics to enable the system to be tuned.
    Any suggestions?

  • Performance Testing on Oracle 11g

    Hello all,
    I am trying to run many joins for testing purpose and need to clear the buffer/cache before each run to time it.
    Note: I am not trying to emulate real world production-just want to run a few test on the time the query is complete.
    I am using:
    ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH SHARED_POOL;
    ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH BUFFER_CACHE;
    before each query and not sure if there is anything else i need to do to get a fresh start beside start/stop DB.
    Reason is, my query time is not too conisistent after a few test....seem like memory/cache/buffer from the operating system is grabing it from somewhere i guess......please advise
    thanks

    There are many reasons why your timings might not be consistent but you've not indicated how inconsistent so just a couple of thoughts.
    1. Flushing is nice but it puts you into a realm where your results are meaningless. A real world system has been up for months and both data
    and index blocks are cached, plans are parsed, cursors exist for reuse, etc. It makes sense to have a clean start for testing but you need
    to emulate reality before running your timings.
    2. What else is running at the O/S level or within the database? I have seen similar things only to check and find a stats job or something
    else was eating resources. Sometimes it is someone else, in another application, on another server sharing infrastructure such as a SAN
    or VLAN.

  • 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.

  • Load testing in Oracle BPM

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me how to perform Load testing in Oracle BPM
    Regards,
    Jai

    Hi Jai,
    What we are using is Oracle ATS (Application Test Suite) for both functional and load testing (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/app-test/etest-101273.html) .
    Of course there are a lot of open source tools that you can also use such as JMeter.

  • Oracle database Performance testing

    What are the procedure to dp Oracle performance Testing???
    Is there any tools to do Oracle database Performance or load testing??

    insa wrote:
    OS- windows
    DB-Oracle11gr2
    Just i want check if 100 of users using my Application at a time what will be the performance of my database??Database performance is dependent on a number of factors - where application design, application code and data model, are critical components.
    And these components need to be designed, written, and implemented with performance and scalability as primary requirements. From design issues like using 3NF correctly, to coding issues like using bind variables correctly.
    You cannot simply slap design and code together, run that against the database, and then tune database performance. That is not the correct approach. Oracle database technology performs very well. It is the application that does not perform. It is the design that does not perform. It is the architecture that does not perform.
    When I see the comment that someone wants to test database performance, I see someone not understanding what determines performance - and incorrectly thinking that the database is a black box, and that this black box's performance can be tuned and set, irrespective of the data model, application code and architecture used.

  • Oracle Lite Performance Testing

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to sync more than one client from the same PC/Laptop to simulate a concurrent sync for performance testing purposes? Greg Rekuonas did mention, some script available by Oracle Support for the same. Oracle (on raising an SR) unfortunately says that they cannot make that available to customers.
    I have found a way out, but it involves changing one of olite's dll's and was wondering if anyone else knew a better solution.(Other than finding 50-100 different laptop's/handhelds and make them all synchronize one by one).
    Cheers,
    Vikrant

    Hi Greg,
    Thanks for the reply. I will try and re-raise it with them, though they have closed my SR with a "Not Entitled" status.
    In case anyone is interested I finally, got the trick done by using the following:-
    1) Open ocapi.dll in your $MOBILE_HOME/bin folder. (Right where the msync_java.dll is there)
    2) Open the above file in a text editor like EditPlus(Note this is a binary file)
    3) Search for the string OracleLiteSync.
    4) Change the string to something else(Do not add any characters, just change any one alphabet).
    5) Save this file as ocapi.dll in a different directory.
    I wrote a standard java program, to programatically trigger a synchronization. To, handle concurrent synchronizations, I create multiple copies of ocapi.dll with different strings for OracleLiteSync.
    Each of my simulation "Clients"(Basically Java Threads) were invoked with a different path each pointing to a different ocapi.dll. This seemed to work, and the "Mutex" error went away.
    The exaplanation is that basically OracleLite uses the Kernel32 API CreateMutexA to create a mutex to ensure that two synchroninzations cannot happen on the same machine. The mutex name is OracleLiteSync and the code is in ocapi.dll.
    By changing the mutex name and using a different version of ocapi.dll (Oracle Lite uses JNI which reads DLL from the PATH environment variable) you can fool Oracle Lite into doing different synchronizations.
    This did give me some errors when it tried to apply the downloaded changes simultaneously in different ODB's, but allowed me to load the mobile server concurrently with syncrhonization sessions.
    Cheers,
    Vikrant
