Hi All,
I'm trying to design a load test that will conduct a SOAP transaction with the AUT. It requires that the responses from the AUT be parsed for certain elements in order to create proper subsequent SOAP requests. This is the basic design: request1: give me a session string response1: encrypted session string (parse response using regex and store session string in jmeter variable v1) request2: initiate webservice on AUT using encrypted session string v1 (this will start a long-running SQL query managed by the AUT) response2: AUT sends back a handle for the process, a date string (parse response using regex and store handle in jmeter variable v2) request3-N: check status of process using session string and handle vars v1 and v2 response3-N: AUT sends back response, either "running," "completed successfully," or "error" (parse final response and store results as to whether it was a success or failure) Questions: 1. How can I construct the SOAP request with the discovered variables v1 and v2? Can I simply place "$(v1)" and "$(v2)" within the text of the SOAP requests in the SOAP Web Service Sampler? 2. Is this kind of processing too intensive for Jmeter, given that I want to run this as a load test with as many as 20 users at a time? 3. How can I output information to a log file such as "value of v1,v2" and whether each individual user instance was a success or failure? Thanks for any help. I've been trying to get an index of the mailing list using the instructions but have been unable to do so. I wish there was a BB instead. I really want to use this tool instead of diving into LoadRunner. Thanks again, Matt ************************************************************************** The information contained in this communication is confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
