The instructions from Tip 2 should cover this.. Basically the steps provided there show how to "inform" LoadRunner that you are using a secure connection. Then it should be able to record the Oracle actions. Cheers, Martin Apparently you are using HTTPS (Secure), instead of plain HTTP connection. The instructions from Tip 2 should cover this..

So there is no issue with browser 2) When we are using Oracle Web application 11i protocol in GUI recording mode, the LR is recording web transactions but not Oracle transactions. In HTML mode, no web transactions are getting recorded too. 3) When we use Oracle NCA + Web (Click and Script), the LR is recording web transactions but not Oracle transactions. Using Oracle NCA + Web (HTTP and HTML), no web transaction is getting recorded too. 4) I am still to try "tip 2" you mentioned as it requires some server side information. 5) As per your suggestion in #23, I tried to look for a protocol "HTTPS changes" but I do not find one. Can you please elobarate on this Thank you, Sai. Hi Martin,

3) When we use Oracle NCA + Web (Click and Script), the LR is recording web transactions but not Oracle transactions. Using Oracle NCA + Web (HTTP and HTML), no web transaction is getting recorded too.
4) I am still to try “tip 2″ you mentioned as it requires some server side information.

Does it record the Web part but not the Oracle part? If that is the case, your problem is probably the same as the one presented by Jonathan above. Check Tip 2 on the post: http://martinspier.co.uk/creating-oracle-12-scripts-loadrunner Also, if that is not the case, you might have a problem with IE8. If you're using IE8, please check post: http://martinspier.co.uk/loadrunner-ie8 Let me know if that helps. Cheers, Martin Hi Saiprasad,

When you try to record using Oracle NCA, without any changes, over HTTPS, that's exactly what happens. What you can do is: 1. Use Web (HTTP/HTML) + Oracle NCA + HTTPS Changes or; 2. Use Oracle Web Applications 11i. I strongly suggest using option 2 if you have a newer version of LoadRunner. Regarding the changes to support HTTPS, you can find them in the following post: http://martinspier.co.uk/creating-oracle-12-scripts-loadrunner <strong>Check Tip 2!</strong> Cheers, Martin Hi Jonathan,

I am experiencing a Load runner – Oracle apps compatibility issue. None of the actions performed on Oracle apps application are being recognized by Load runner i.e. load runner is not generating any script for the user actions on Oracle apps application

Tried using Oracle NCA protocol first – No luck

Tried with multiple protocol recording using Oracle NCA and Web protocols and recorded in HTML mode – No luck.

I am sure I am missing something. Can you help me is resolving this issue at the earliest.

This is usually not a problem, you only have to pay more attention to the request body since it is not neatly organized. I'm not familiar with Liferay, but I assume they use it on their website, so I tried recording with the usual HTTP/HTML on HTML mode and no custom requests. Nothing special there, but your implementation might have some differences. The problem is only on the controller or on VUGen too?? It might be a concurrency problem on the website if that is the case. Have you tried recording the same steps to another script and compare the two with diff?? You might be missing a correlation on the custom request. If that doesn't help, send me a sample of your script to have a look. Cheers, Martin Hi Devaki,

The steps are pretty much the same as the ones described on the "Using WSDL files to Create WebService Scripts" post. You only have to add the auth details on the Import Service window, by clicking on the "Connection Settings ..." button, checking the "Use Authentication Settings" checkbox and then entering your username and password on the required fields. Just remember that if you are using a Domain account, you need to add the domain name to the username too. This usually works and I never had to do anything else to import the services. If that doesn't work for you, double check your username\password and also the domain name if necessary.
