Portal Load Testing

We are implementing ESS in the SAP Portal. We are on ECC 6.0. We are looking into load testing our portal. We are currently trying to use the IBM Rational Performance Tester, but we are having difficulties.
What tools do other companies use for load testing their portal?
Thanks!
Mary

hi,
We have installed Wily's Introscope for load testing. Although it is not a specific EP testing tool, it can be used.
Load Runner can also be used for load testing.

Info required on load testing the portal

Dear friends,
We are working on EP 7.0.
I have the how to guide on load testing. What I need is the ideal values to which the various test results must tend. I mean I want the specific number values which can be reasonable for optimum system performance.
Regards,
Pawan.

There are two meaning to this
ex- material A and product B
In the BOM of B, A is assigned as a BOM component
1. Material (A)is not costed at all
2. If the material (A) in question is costed wih error, then give a warning message or error message when costing its product B.
I hope you are clear.

Errors while running load test scripts in Oracle Load Test

I am a QA Analyst and this is my first time using the Oracle Load Test application. Acutally this is the first time I have done anything related to load test scripts. The Oracle Load Test version I am using is 9.10.0219. When I run some of the scripts with a user ramp up of 1 user per step, the load tests complete successfully. When I begin to adjust the number of VUs per step to 2 or more, I begin to get some of the following errors. By the looks of these errors can you provide any feedback as to whether these are issues with OLT or with the application I am running the load test against? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

Hi,
It looks like an application issue since you are getting a HTTP 500. The other errors relate to the fact that ti can't resolve some dynamic values in needs to extract from the resonse content since the pages are different (probably due the 500 error).

Hi Jean,
Our application contains customised retail webcenter portal on which retail application is hosted.This portal application is not able to scale up more than 10 users.I had created portal application without the customised framework and then for a similar usecase it is able to scale upto more than 50 users but once it hits 100 VU mark it starts giving errors.If it were an issue with client tokens or login,I would have been able to have more than 1 user at a time.It seems to be an issue with custom framework developed on top of webcenter portal.I have faced a similar issue while testing for this app with jmeter also.I was able to test for the webcenter portal app without any customisation for more than 100 concurrent users. But I was not able to test for more than 1 user for customised retail webcenter portal

Application Insights for load testing in VS 2013, Azure Preview or Visual Studio Online?

I'm trying to get some clarification on which version of application insights to use to get performance counters from application insights for my azure cloud service for load and performance testing purposes.
So far, its not be clear what the differences between the two versions are, after deploying first the Azure Preview version, I attempted to set up performance counters using application insights but was shown an error because my visual studio online account
did not have an associated application insights instance.
Is it possible to get performance counters using AI for load testing using the Azure Preview version? If so, how? If not, is that planned as a new feature or will performance counters for VSO cloud based load testing have to be used when support for the
VSO version of application insights is eventually dropped?
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. I do have an Azure account, and have tinkered with AI in Azure Preview. My question was more about what the differences between the VSO and azure preview versions of AI are.
When I initially deployed AI to the azure portal and tried to run load tests from visual studio (cloud load tests, that is) I could not. Its possible I had made a mistake in configuring the azure version of application insights though. Strangely enough,
I actually do still see application insights data in the azure preview portal after I removed the newer AI version and installed AI 1.3.
To clarify my question, is it or will it be possible to run cloud based load tests (using visual studio online or another integrated service) against a azure web role deployed with application insights for azure and get performance counters of the system
under test via AI? To do that, will I also have an application insights application in the visual studio online account (similar to how I do now with the VSO version of AI), because that seems to be a requirement to load performance counters from application
insights within visual studio.
Thanks and sorry if I misunderstood your answer.

OATS Load Test - Wild Card

Hi,
Could anyone assist me with the following plz:
We have a scenario in Load Testing where we run a test for users with exactly the same data on the input page.
When we change the data & make it different for each user, the test falls over.
Any thoughts, ideas, & assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Stress and load testing

Hi all,
How do you do the stress and load testing on queries( WAD) in BW, does mercury loadrunner supports this? I am little bit confused with the portal and BW, where i hv to do stress and load testing of Web queries( i views)? plz help me

Stress and Load testing are the different types of testing used to test the Application in Development by increasing the loads on the application in order to test the applications behavior as to how it would react with the increased loads. Example in testing a website we constantly increase the number of users accessing that website at the same time in order to check how much of response time is the web page taking to show up on the screen, how is the back end of the website working and at a time how many users can log on before the website crashes.
Let me know if this is of any help and assign points if helpful. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Thanks,
Reena

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

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,

Unable to capture the Citrix network response time using OATS Load testing.

Unable to capture the Citrix network response time using OATS Load testing. Here is the scenario " in our project users logs into Citrix network and select the Hyperion application and does the Transaction and the Clients wants us to simulate the same scenario for load testing. We have scripted starting from Citrix Login and then launching Hyperion application.

Load Test Results - time series request data for by URL in VS2013

I am trying to figure out how to export and then analyze the results of a load test, but after the test is over it seems I cannot find the data for each individual request by url. This data shows during the load test itself, but after it is over it seems
as if that data is no longer accessible and all I can find are totals. The data that I want is under the "Page response time" graph on the graphs window during the test. I know this is not the response time for every single request and is probably
averaged, but that would suffice for the calculations I want to make.
I have looked in the database on my local machine (LoadTest2010, where all of the summary data is stored) and I cannot find the data I'm looking for.
My goal is to plot (probably in excel) each request url against the user load and analyze the slope of the response time averages to determine which requests scale the worst (and best). During the load test I can see this data and get a visual idea but when
it ends I cannot seem to find it to export.
A) Can this data be exported from within visual studio? Is there a setting required to make VS persist this data to the database? I have, from under Run Settings, the "Results" section "Timing Details Storage" set to "All individual
details" and the Storage Type set to "Database".
B) If this data isn't available from within VS, is it in any of the tables in the LoadTest2010 database where all of the summary data is stored?
Thanks
Luke

Hi Luke,
Since the load test is used to
simulate many users accessing a server at the same time, it is mainly verify a wev server load stress.
As you said that you want to find the data
for each individual request by url, I know that generally we can analyze the url request from the Summary like the following screen shot.
>>I
have looked in the database on my local machine (LoadTest2010, where all of the summary data is stored) and I cannot find the data I'm looking for.
I suggest you can try to add the
SQL Tracing Connect String in the Run Setting properties to trace the data.

In addition, you can try to create an excel to analyze the load test result, for more information:

How to set Proxy for IE 8.0 on doing Load Testing with OATS 12.1.0.2

I have tried adding proxy server by adding the address to "Localhost" and Port as 8080.
but nothing is working out, for recording an EBS instance its working fine ,no need to setup anything in the OATS tool, eg, Proxy settings.
But when it comes to BPM with ADF technology , the recorder is not starting the Recording even the pointer navigation also not wokring.
So, is there way to record the ADF applications in BPM ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wayne,
Thing is do we need to add the proxy server here?, as for doing Load testing on EBS application,there is no need of adding a proxy server,
So the same way it should work with the ADF application too, but its not showing any mouse pointer in the Browser tool bar or recording
the navigation.
Point to be noted is, we need to connect to VPN in order to access the Application.
is it because of VPN connection that its not recording?
But while doing the functional testing I didn't face anyproblem though as its recording everything even if we are connected to VPN.
In Functional testing also i found ,all the input fields where we add the "username" or any input data via a "text box" the tool is not able to
record the field information along with the input we enter.
If you could let me know ,how to do a Load testing for ADF application using BPM , it would be helpful
Thanks

Load testing of Web ADI in EBS R12

Hi,
I am currently testing Oracle E-Business Suite R12. Has anyone load tested the Web ADI integrator for Oracle EBS R12? What tool did you use?
Did you use QTP or Oracle ATS functional testing? I was not able to do a POC using LoadRunner or OATS load test tool.
Basically Web ADI is an integration that allows data to be uploaded/downloaded between Oracle EBS R12 and local excel.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
I have found that OATS does not work easily with Web ADI in my case.
