You can find more information on how StresStimulus handles request cookies and correlation from https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Cookie+correlation and https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Cookies+to+send

5 days ago Topic: unique number in every request George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: unique number in every request You can use data generators (described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Data-Generators) in StresStimulus to generate a unique number. 1. Create an integer data generator. Set the Min Value and Max Value to define the range of possible values. For example, if you want a random 7 digit number, then set Min value to 1000000 and Max value to 9999999 Set the When to Evaluate property to On-request to generate a new random number on every request. 2. Parameterize the recorded unique numbers in each request with the data generator. To create all parameters at once follow the steps described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Creating+Multiple+Parameters+at+Once. You can create the parameters by using regular expressions or wild cards.

5 days ago Topic: Cookie Management Unregistered User Posts: 475	Unregistered User Posts: 475 Topic: Cookie Management I’d like to know more about how StresStimulus handles cookies. My goal is to setup a configuration, that allows virtual users to have their own cookie container. Each cookie should be reused for every iteration. So for a test run with 4 VU and 4 Iterations, 4 Cookies should be set overall. Is this the default behavior of StresStimulus? If not, which steps should be taken?

5 days ago Topic: Dynamics nav 2015 is not creating a record George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: Dynamics nav 2015 is not creating a record Your test has a scripting issue. One possibility is if your application has a duplicate constraint, then you must parameterize the recorded values before running a test to avoid duplicates. First, decide what source variable (described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc56/Variables) type you would like to use, for example, a data generator (described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc56/Data-Generators) or a dataset (described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc56/Creating+Datasets). After that, parameterize the recorded date and time by creating the appropriate parameters as described here https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc56/Creating+a+Parameter. Another possibility is that your script is missing some manual correlation. Here are the references for the manual correlation: creating extractors is described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/_Extractors working with data sets is described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/_Datasets creating parameters is described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Parameterization If you need our assistance to fix your script, then: if you are an existing customer, contact your support rep if you are evaluating StresStimulus, you can schedule a test configuration session to complete a POC - Cheers

5/4/2023 Topic: Access denied - when trying to record a script George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: Access denied - when trying to record a script It sounds like your application uses Server credentials to log in. By default, during recording, StresStimulus uses your Windows user credentials for authentication. To input different credentials during recording, do the following steps as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Other+Recording+Options: 1. In the Recording source dialog, click Other Options… button In the Other Recording options dialog, select Recording Credentials on the left and uncheck the Automatically Authenticate checkbox Start recording again and input the proper credentials when prompted.

5/3/2023 Topic: NonUI test start error log George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: NonUI test start error log Test tracing will only start when the test begins. One possible suggestion is reading the exit code from the StresStimulus application that is described here https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Command+line+interface+for+Standalone+version The no UI mode will return the following exit codes: 0 when the test successfully starts and passes the test pass criteria 1 when the test successfully starts but fails the test pass criteria 2 when the test does not start. The Console.The error will contain the error message To start StresStimulus and redirect the Console.Error to a log file uses the following command line: StresStimulus.Application /noui {test file} 2> error.txt

5/1/2023 Topic: Multiple random extractors from same record Unregistered User Posts: 475	Unregistered User Posts: 475 Topic: Multiple random extractors from same record We have a requirement to extract multiple values from a single random JSON record. I know we can use Random extractor but if we create multiple random extractors then they are not guaranteed to be from the same record. How can we create multiple random extractors from the same record?

5/1/2023 Topic: Multiple random extractors from same record George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: Multiple random extractors from same record In order to create multiple random extractors with the same occurrence, you need to do the following: 1. Create a single extractor with a random occurrence that returns the entire record. Call this extractor EntireRecord 2. Then right-click on the extractor and select Create Extractor to create an extractor for bookableForRommTimetable as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/How+to+create+an+Extractor

4/3/2023 Topic: Reached Maximum database capacity George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: Reached Maximum database capacity It looks like you running out of space in your SQL Server CE database file (the limit is 4GB). There are two recommendations the following remedies (you can do both of them): Reduce test storage use as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Reducing+Test+Storage+Use. Suggest setting Purge session content property to Non-Errors. Switch to Embedded SQLite data storage as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Test+Result+Storage. SQLite does not have a database size limit.

4/3/2023 Topic: What does ramp-down feature do? George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: What does ramp-down feature do? Ramp-down functionality is described here https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Step+Load. It is essentially a ramp-down ending to a test. The difference between Wait for iterations to complete and Ramp-down and wait for iterations to complete is as follows · Wait for iterations: After the run duration elapsed, the test will be over when every VU currently running finishes its current iteration. I.e., every VU is “marked for completion”. · Ramp-down and wait for iterations to complete: After the run duration has elapsed, the test will continue. Then, for every period (determined by the Step Duration property), some number of VUs (determined by Step VU Increase property) will be marked for completion.

4/2/2023 Topic: Script failing on subsequent iterations Unregistered User Posts: 475	Unregistered User Posts: 475 Topic: Script failing on subsequent iterations In one of our application, once we logout of application we land up in a landing page. Next time when the user launches the application without clearing the cache, the same landing page is shown. But when the user tries to launch the application after clearing the cache the actual login screen will be shown. When we try to replicate same scenario of clearing the cache after every logout by setting the cache control to “Disabled” as shown in the below snapshot, we are still landing up on the landing page and all our scripts are failing every time after the first iteration. Is it a right way of clearing the cache or is there any other alternative to clear the cache after every logout?

4/2/2023 Topic: Script failing on subsequent iterations George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 511 Topic: Script failing on subsequent iterations The reason that the script is failing on subsequent iterations is probably that, by default, the HTTP session persists between iterations. To clear the HTTP session between subsequent iterations, set the Cookie correlation scope property to None as described https://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc57/Test+Case%3A+Session+Persistence
