This feature update for IBM Rational Performance Tester® provides support for testing Siebel® applications. Because the Siebel data correlation library runs only on Windows® computers, this is a Windows-only feature.
This Program is subject to a separate license fee that must be paid prior to use. Please log in to Passport Advantage Online to complete the purchase at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/pao_customers.htm
After you install the update, there will be a new test generation preference. Click Window > Preferences, expand Test, click Performance Test Generation. The new preference is Siebel support. The default setting is Automatic (automatically detect and activate Siebel support). You can change the setting to always On or always Off.
There is a new tab, HTTP, in the test editor preferences. Click Window > Preferences, expand Test, click Performance Test Editor, and click the HTTP tab. These are the preferences on the HTTP page:
Display decoded URLs wherever possible : If checked, any encoded element is a URL is decoded where possible. Decoding improves readability.
Skip responses with binary content: If checked, binary response data is skipped when you enable the content response verification point, which veries whether specified strings occur in response data.
Create only in primary responses: If checked, content response verification is enabled only in the response data of a page's primary request.
The General page is unchanged from what is documented in the product Help. The Colors and Fonts page shows the color coding for text that has been substituted from built-in variables (see the next section, "Siebel test editing").
The primary differences between a Siebel test and a standard HTTP test are in how dynamic data is stored and substituted during test execution.
To correlate a string with a built-in variable:
If you select Current Date, click Next, select the date format and then click Finish.
If you select SWE Counter, click Next, enter a Current Value and Maximum Value for the counter and then click Finish.
A content verification point verifies whether a specified text string occurs in the response to a request.
To add a content verification point to a test:
To add a content verification point to every response in a test, right-click the test name. To add a content VP to the responses in a page, right-click that page. In both of these cases, the Create/Enable Content Verification Point dialog box opens. To add a content VP to a specific response, right-click that response. In this case, the dialog box appears in the Test Details: edit it there.
To create a user-defined string, follow these instructions after completing step 3:
For information about installing the IBM Rational Performance Tester Siebel feature, refer to the installation instructions at http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rpt/61/html/ifeature001/install_ifeature001.html.
There are no additional hardware requirements for installing this feature.
This feature can be installed with IBM Rational Performance Tester 6.1. Before you can install this feature you must install IBM Rational Performance Tester Interim Fix 001. See http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rpt/61/html/ifix001/install.html for instructions.
The Siebel testing features require the
Siebel data correlation library, which is implemented by the file ssdtcorr.dll. You must obtain
this library from Siebel and install it on the computer where
Rational Performance Tester 6.1 has been installed and updated, in this
path:
...\SDP\6.0\rpt_prod\external_files\deployable\siebel\.
The correlation library must be present on any computer that runs a Siebel test. After you have installed the correlation library on the master Rational Performance Tester computer in the path shown above, it will be automatically copied as needed to any remote computer on which you deploy a Siebel test.
The currently shipped version of the Siebel correlation library is dependent on the Microsoft C++ runtime library, implemented by the file msvcr70.dll. It is possible that a Windows computer on which you want to run a Siebel test contains no C++ runtime library or contains a different version. In this case, obtain msvcr70.dll from the Microsoft Web site. Then install a copy of msvcr70.dll in the same folder as ssdtcorr.dll. This ensures that the file will be copied as needed to any remote host on which you deploy a Siebel test.
