Hi Philippe,
Oops, it appears that I still need to work on my communication skills. It is
rather opposite to what I meant.
The number in the beginning are important for me - because, as far as I
understand, it is the only way to ensure that transaction/requests would be
ordered properly in all reports/listeners.[of course, we can create transaction
name / prefix with our number - then autonumeration doesn't matter, but that is
some additional efforts]
1) So my actual suggestion for prefixes was to change it
from prefix_number_url (as in 5.1.1)
to number_prefix_url
to ensure proper sorting.
2) On transaction name, maybe we should make it consistent with "Apply Naming
Policy". If we want that way of naming for transaction reporting, why not to do
it during recording?
So (if we keep numbering in the beginning) transaction would be:
sequentialNumber_transactionName
and requests underneath transaction:
sequentialNumber_transactionName-0sequentialNumber_transactionName-1sequentialNumber_transactionName-2...
[somewhat reversing what I wrote below - while I am not sure that these schema
is optimal, at least it would be consistent with what we want it to be for
reporting]
Or the idea to move sequential numbers to the end is to make it consistent with
that naming policy?
Sorry for confusion.
Thanks,Alex
