Use this function

lr_save_datetime("<format of datetime>",DATE_NOW,"")

then you can replace the value in your code with the

NOTE: DATE_NOW fetches the current system time

Use the parameterization settings in Parameters.  There is a date format that you can use to extract date.

Agreed on giving two different set of results, with and without the hotfix. You can also do a verification run and advise the user the impact on performance after the hotfix is been implemented. This goes back to what is the intention of the report to the user.

It would be good if you provide both the response time with and with out the Hotfix.
This would be a comparision and the client can think whether to include that Hotfix or not.

I don't think there is a straight forward answer for this. Usually patches are needed when certain situation arises. Therefore, study the environment for load test well and make an assessment with the basic installation (Read Me file).

You can use either COM/DCOM protocol or ODBC,

Based on the Data base also u can use the protocol like your database is Oracle then u can user Oracle2-tier

1. Select the Protocol type as Web(HTTP/HTML)2. Start & Stop recording on the Application (Browser level API)3. The recorded events on the Application calls loading from the Web/Application Server to ...

1. Record the user activity at the browser level.
2. COnfigure the loadrunner and servers for monitoring the Web, App and DB server.

For this you can refer to the documentations that is provided by the installer.

Its better to go for the loadrunner 9.0 because its having lots of futures to support the desktop apps. Use CLICK AND SCRIPT.

LoadRunner 8.2 has the capability of recording purely desktop based activities. Use Protocol Web_Click&Script for the same.

correlate Hits/sec graph with running Vuser graph, if you have any memory leak then hits/sec graph will be saturated it won't get spiked according to more number of vusers  gets in.

Hi,
According to my knowledge best way to detect memory leak is by conducting soak testing.

Let me know how many people agree with this answer nd let me know the correct answer if my answer is wrong.
Thanks

You've to verify the type of DB connection are you making to the DB.  It might be using ODBC or JDBC which translates to the type of protocol used.  Also, other than DB type of protocols, you may also...

The transaction performance graph is to illustrate the performance of the transactions plotted against load being generated in a load test.  This is good if you want to relate load against transaction timing.

LoadRunner is a load testing tool that predicts system behavior and performance.

It exercises your entire enterprise infrastructure by emulating thousands of users and employs performance monitors to identify and isolate problems.

LoadRunner is a load testing tool that facilitates load testing against application thus determining the behavior of the application (server and network) when under normal load, stress or prolonged te...

Parameterization is used to specify the different values from the client end to the server so that the scripts can use this value dynamically and we measure the performance transaction timers efficien...

Parameters are like script variables. They are used to vary input to the server and to emulate real users. Different sets of data are sent to the server each time the script is run. one script can emulate many different users on the system. 

typedef long time_t;

Action()

{

     time_t t; 

lr_message("Time in seconds since 1/1/70: %ldn", time(&t));

     lr_message("Formatted time and date: %s", ctime(&t));

     return 0;

}

You can utilise the parameter value for "Date/Time" where Vugen can extract the date for you depending on the format you want.  This is much simpler in writing codes.

The script should fail when replayed may signifies a dynamic variable.  In this case, watch out for "sessionid" or related type of variables.  Also, a good way is to re-record the script to detect the differences.
