Load-testing Forms Services

Any suggestions on how to load test a Forms Services (9.0.4) system to see how well an application scales? I was wondering if there is an approach I can use to load-testing the applets that doesn't require purchasing a full-blown Loadrunner license...

Hi Steven,
You should try NeoLoad to load-test Oracle Forms apps.
NeoLoad is a load-testing software for Web apps provided by the Neotys company.
NeoLoad decodes the Forms communication between the client and the server. It shows instead a nice XML page where all parameters can be read and modified.
Afterwards, while the load-test is being played, the information is sent back to the server in the Oracle Forms format.
As for the load itself, no worries, NeoLoad handles thousands of simultaneous virtual users.
You can give try, a free trial version is avalaible on the Neotys website: http://www.neotys.com/product/download-neoload.html.
You'll find useful information on the website to start the evaluation.
Here is the page related to the Oracle Forms technology: http://www.neotys.com/product/technologies-oracle-forms-load-testing.html.
And here is a flash demo that shows in detail how NeoLoad works against an Oracle Forms app.
Take also some time to read this testimonial from "American TV": http://www.neotys.com/references/success/load-testing-americantv.html. It tells how NeoLoad helped them to carry out a great load testing campaign.
Really hope it helps you testing your Oracle Forms app.
Olivier.

Testing Forms Services availability with Hardware Load Balancer

I have posted a question about load balancing to a group of application services running Forms Services here on the Forms forum but have had no reply:
Forms Services availability checking for BIGIP Load Balancer
My basic questions are:
a) What do people recommend for load balancing Forms ... least connection, round robin ... ?
b) Do people use http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status or have some of you used something else?
My reason for the question is we had a Forms Services failure that was not detected by the ifcmd servlet as the HTTP side of things was still working. This meant that the BIGIP load balancer sent everything to the failed server as it had the least connections. So basically no-one could logon.
I've raised an SR with Oracle but they recommend the standard URL above. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so were you able to fix it?
Regards,
Philippe

Well SR followed up and it looks like the only course of action is to use the standard HTTP check: http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status ...
... unless that is you want to do some serious customisation. Oracle don't support any other form of checking.
I'm guessing from the lack of responses to this thread that this hasn't been an issue for anybody else ... ???
Any thoughts/suggestions really welcome as we go into production in 4 weeks.

Load Balancing Forms Services with an effective healthcheck

I am in the process of configuring two forms 11.1.2 servers running with weblogic 10.3.5 with multiple forms applications clustered across both physical servers. We are looking to load balance to the various forms applications using a hardware load balancer. Can anyone comment on their experience with setting up effective application healthchecks using either hardware or software load balancers?
For example say that we have 3 applications clustered across 2 servers with the following
URLs:
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp1
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp2
http://server02:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=myapp3
We would need a checking mechanism on the load balancer that could tell if myapp2 was down on say server01 and therefore block traffic to that application yet keep traffic open for the other 2 apps on the same server.
A specific difficulty with forms is that when the database behind the application is down forms services will return an error message within a displayed error form. From the load balancer's point of view the forms services are "up". We need to find a way of detecting that the application is actually available and not just that the forms services themselves are available. To detect that the forms services are available we might normally use the status check:
http://server01:7777/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
however this will only tell use the availability of the forms services on a physical server and not whether any actual applications are available.
I am aware that f5 do a BIGIP offering that includes some Oracle Forms specific components. Can anyone comment on how they have setup Oracle Forms healthchecks using various load balancing methods. In particular if a load balancer is limited to using WGET commands to check HTTP returned content is there a way of checking a forms application's availability and if not how have other people achieved an effective healthcheck?
Many thanks,
Philippe

Did you ever Get this to work?
I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discover and reports Oracle Application Server Release 10g (9.0.4.0.2) and I was wondering if you could help. Has any one ever got this to work consistently? We are an ERP product written mostly in forms (904) and are trying to implement are largest customer there performance issue so we need the load balancing to work. Will also accept other recommendation as cost effective as solutions.

ATS load testing for E-Business Suite using IE8 issue

Hi,
I am trying to record a load testing script using Oracle Application testing SUite for E-Business Suite R12.1.3 application. When I start recording I get a pop up asking me to change/disable XSS filter in IE8. I have altready done that and restarted the browser. But the same pop up message comes up.
My queries are:
1) Is ATS 9.3 supported for use with Internet Explorer 8? I am using Windows 7
2) How can I overcome this issue so that I can records EBS script in openscript.
I have run the runDiagnosis.bat file under openscript install folder and the output is as follows:

Hello
1/ ATS 9.3 is supported with IE8, not IE9 at the moment
2/ Did you disable xss settings for the four different security zones?
You can also try to add the EBS url to the trusted sites and disable xss settings for that zone only.
Let us know and good luck

Forms Services availability checking for BIGIP Load Balancer

We are load balancing across a number of 10.1.2.2 Forms servers using a BIGIP load balancer. Currently our load balancing is done based on which server has the "least connections" to the BIGIP. So far we have been using the following test URL to allow BIGIP to check the availability of the Forms Services on each server.
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
This works well however it only checks through to the HTTP level within Forms Services. We encountered a problem when the Forms Services failed to work on a particular server however the above URL showed that everything was OK. The effect of this was that all new users attempting to login were directed to the failed server as this server had the "least number of connections".
After raising an SR with Oracle they advised that the forking of runtime processes had probably failed and this was not detectable by the load balancer with the above URL. So they have recommended a number of options for checking the status of the Forms Services. These are:
a) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet
This loads the default Form and therefore by definition tests the forking of runtime processes. However BIGIP is unable to automatically process the information to distinguish whether the service is up or down. Oracle recommended that if using this method we would need to customise BIGIP to handle the various FRM-xxxx error codes.
b) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?userid=scott/tiger@YOURDB&form=yourtestform.
fmx
Even more thorough would be to actual log on to the database using a test form as above.
My question is does anyone out there have experience in checking Forms Services availability using these last two methods as I'm not sure how to customize the load balancer so that it can handle the output of these URLs. Also when using the original URL is it normal to load balance using a "least connections" method or do people out there use a different algorithm.
Thanks for any help/advise that you can give.
Regards,
Philippe

Basic Authentication for load testing WSDL Web Service

I'm trying to load test a web service; the WSDL URL is behind a username and password, using the basic http authentication. I can add the WSDL URL without issue with the username and password, but when I playback the script, I get "401 Unauthorized" errors
I looked at Preferences > Record > Web Services > Proxy Configuration, which then refers you to Preferences > Record > HTTP > Proxy Settings. I also looked at similar settings under Preferences > Playback.
I am running OpenScript (9.1), how do I configure this ... ?
Many thanks!
KM
Edited by: KM on Sep 14, 2011 12:12 PM

Hello
You can right click on the initialize section of your script then:
Add -> Other -> HTTP -> Authentication.
You need 3 parameters:
A url - http://someurl - that will authenticate any url that contains the http://someurl string e.g http://someurl.com/index.html
A password
A user
The following code should be added in your script:
http.addAuthentication("http://someurl", "username",
deobfuscate("5blNah5kX/XuZnepYwInFw=="));Hope this helps

Configure Forms Service on 10G and test a form

Hello,
I have installed a standalone 10G APP SERVER.
How can I configure a Form Service on this?
How can I test a Form running on the 10G APP Server.?
Any pointers as to how to configure a Forms Service thru
the Application Service control menu (http://localhost:1810)
and then trying a form ?

Mona,
You were suppose to check the document Oracle Application Server Forms Services - Deployment Guide as suggested in Deploying an Oracle Form on 10G AS.
Please do! All your answers are in that document.

Oracle Form Services Installation (Test.fmx) Trigger Not working

Hi
I install oracle BI and forms Services on oracle application infrastructure after installation i run the following command "http://ora.server.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=testfrm" it will show the form "form services install sucessfully" but when i do a certain cusmization on it i.e. put a one text box on that text put put a key_next tigger in which i show a alert message only. After Customization i run a same URL it will again show that form with the changes but the trigger (Key_next) will not fire
I don't understatnd why tigger is not working or fire.

So we understand things correctly,
You are running a form and a trigger won't fire. What kind of trigger? A when-button-pressed, or a key-next-item, or something else? I don't believe key_next is a valid trigger.
If you are using a key trigger, you need to make sure that the keys are mapped as you expect. You can see how the keys are mapped in the menu under Help => Keys when you run the form. Make sure the button is mapped like you expect. Additionally, you can modify the mapping by updating the resource file, but that's kind of outside the scope of this...
This type of questions really is suited for the Forms forum under Developer Tools => Forms at: Forms
If you need more help, post there. The focus of that section if Forms.

Microsoft Certification on Load Testing using Visual Studio Team Foundation Services

Hi Folks,
I need your help in finding the Microsoft Certification for load test using TFS Online.
I've gone through the MSDN blogs for this topic. The closest one that I found was https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a25f86d4-9089-42d8-a9a1-32d22fe8f82b/microsoft-certification-exam-for-load-testing?forum=vstswebtest
With reference to above, can you please let me know if there is any kind of certification that is now added for load testing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Also If there is no update with the above certifications then can we suggest to the Microsoft certification team about the same? I think many of the software testers would be awaiting to get an Microsoft Certification in this field.
Thanks,
Devendra

There is no certification that specifically focuses on Load Testing. The closest is perhaps exam 70-497, "Software Testing with Visual Studio", but this deals mostly with functional testing, and only has minimal coverage of load testing.

Unable to capture the D4OSESSION during LOAD testing??

Hi,
Summary:
---------- I am doing the performance testing of the 50 concurrent users using one of the third party load test tool.But that tool is not able to capture the opening workbook sessions.
Detail
----------- Normally when I open a D4O session in the URL from the client machine in the database I saw the 3 sessions in v$session table.
2 sessions from Application Server.
1 Session from client machine.
the protocol that I used to open the D4OSession is HTTP
When I Choose any workbook from the opened d4osession in the V$session table the session from the client machine status becomes active.
so for the single d4o session oracle opening 3 session in the database.
Under this calculation I try to record the session for the performance testing using one of the third party tool called QA LOAD. I am unable to record all the 3 session,
I am able to record the application server sessions only ie.2 session ,but I am unable to record the session from Client machine.(User session is coming only when I opens the workbook)
I am not able to understand why the tool is not able understand d4osession protocol??
What could be the problem. Why I am not able to capture the d4osession when I opens the workbook.???? . Without using the tool I can able to see the all 3 sessions.
Actually the goal is to do a performance testing for 50 concurrent users.Its very difficult to do performance testing without a performance test tool...
Normally this tool can understand all kind of javabased application,Microsoft applications but I am not sure why it won't understand part of the d4osessions???
Even when I ry to capture this opening workbook session using winsock protocol also...but no luck!!!!.
Any advice/ Idea....Please post it !!!!
Eg: ---------------
Details of the d4o session
---------------------------- d4osession user : user1
Workbook name : workbook1
URL : http://applicationserver:7778/discoverer/plus?us=user1&lm=olap......
Browser : Internet Explorer 6.0
Database : Oracle 10G
Discoverer plus for olap : 10.1.2.48
Load Test tool : QA LOAD
Database OS : Linux
Application Server OS : Windows.
Thanks,
