runsim.tcl file its always giving me an error of couldn't read file
"runsim.tcl".

I Already tried the chmod the file and using the file's absolute path like

[Loadsim-users] Inserting cookies into a pre-recorded session

[Drew V. <dv...@in...>]

I have a site protected via pubcookie. The pubcookie configuration 
(which I cannot change) requires SSL. This means that I have to disable 
the pubcookie authentication in order to record my LoadSim session. 
Testing with SSL disabled is, of course, useless because SSL will be 
required by the live site. Is there a way to copy/paste cookies into a 
pre-recorded session file or simulation file?

Drew Vogel

P.S. I am not on the list. Please be sure to CC me explicitly.

Re: [Loadsim-users] Documentation For Loadsim Reports

[Vincent S. <vsh...@op...>]

The histogram  will  break down the number of requests that fall into a=20=

range of response times (the time to first byte and time to last byte=20
numbers).  How those ranges are determined depends on the minimum and=20
maximum response times as well as the number of "bins" specified when=20
the histogram is generated.  Once the bin ranges are determined than=20
the height of the bar is simply the number of links that fall within=20
that range.  The histogram helps you understand where most of your=20
links are falling in terms of response times.

Does that help?

[Loadsim-users] "Page" data

[Stephen M. <st...@mo...>]

I am trying to use the page data option for the LinkData but it appears that this has
been commented out and as I try to enable it I'm getting errors, including compiler
errors. Has anyone done been able to use this feature and if so what did you need to do.

Re: [Loadsim-users] conditional logic

[Vincent S. <vsh...@op...>]

The only way to do it would be to implement the IContentHandler 
interface.  The object passed into the method you must implement 
contains the last page in the form of an HTTPUnit WebResponse object 
(look at the doc for HTTPUnit to see what methods are available, things 
like getting all of the links is one such method).  So, you can use 
that to extract the information that you desire from the page.  In 
addition to the WebResponse object is a Link object which you can use 
to set the next link.

It should be noted that this will slow down the simulation considerable 
because now every page will have to be parsed.

If you do this I would appreciate any feedback you have on it.

[Loadsim-users] conditional logic

[luke cassady-d. <lu...@ne...>]

Is it possible to use some form of conditional logic with loadsim? I am
working with a survey application where the user will take only 5
questions randomly chosen from a pool of around 100. each question needs
slightly different parameters, so i need to do something where i parse
out the question id from the url and then decide which data to post. 

Re: [Loadsim-users] trouble connecting to SSL site

[Vincent S. <vsh...@op...>]

I believe it should work with JDK 1.4.  You need the jsse.jar file in  
your classpath (though JDK 1.4 may come with it).

You don't need a cert from a valid CA.  A test one should suffice.

If you continue to have problems you can try it with the JDK 1.3 and 
jsse.jar in the classpath.  When you start up if SSL is available then 
you should see a little blurb to that effect.

Hope this helps.

RE: [Loadsim-users] trouble connecting to SSL site

[Summers, B. W. <BER...@sa...>]

Just thought of a possible reason.

My webserver does not have a cert that is from a known CA.

Do I need to import something into the keystore? my servers key, my CAs key?

[Loadsim-users] trouble connecting to SSL site

[Summers, B. W. <BER...@sa...>]

I have IIS5 running on my box without SSL.
I run the proxy, setup the sequence file.
Then change all the http to https, change the localhost to other host name
Change the :8888 port to nothing, should it be 443?

Then when I run I get (from ssl site)
cmatt,//10.8.16.10:8000,ramping done,-1,-1,-1,<unknown>,200
cmatt,//10.8.16.10:8000,ramping done,-1,-1,-1,<unknown>,200

,//10.8.16.10:8000,ramping done,-1,-1,-1,<unknown>,200

instead of ( from localhost to ssl)
cmatt,//10.8.16.10:8000,ramping done,30,30,151,text/html,302
cmatt,//10.8.16.10:8000,ramping done,0,0,151,text/html,302

In the result file.

I saw one message that this only works with jdk 1.3 is that still correct?
I am using jdk (build 1.4.0-b92)

[Loadsim-users] Urgent: please help me for LoadSim Windows Installation!

[Yannick G. <ya...@co...>]

Due to a short term notice,I'm in a hurry to stress load our web
application.  Because I read a lot of good things about LoadSim, I would
like to use it to to this test.  So, I download LoadSim and follow all the
steps in the Readme document.  But here is the problem.  Even after set the
Loadsim_Home and path environment variables on my Win NT workstation, I
can't do nothing in console mode.  The only thing I have been able to do is
to run Muffin (the recorf mode) only by usind Java Web Start. But in console
mode (MS-DOS), I always obtain the message " loadsim is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable command or batch file".  I asked an
expiremented Java programmer and he was not able to help me.  It looks like
that the files found in the /bin are set for a Linux environment.  I try to
change all the $ sign by % (or more than one when apply.)

Here my modified file:

"LOADSIM.BAT"

setlocal
set
LOCAL_CP=%LOADSIM_HOME%\lib\loadsim.jar;%LOADSIM_HOME%\lib\httpunit.jar;%LOA
DSIM_HOME%\lib\Tidy.jar

for i in %LOADSIM_HOME%/lib/*.jar ; do
    LOCAL_CP="%LOCAL_CP:%i"
done

%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -classpath %LOCAL_CP%

[Loadsim-users] Some feedback about loadsim....

[Jon S. <jo...@ze...>]

Vince,

Hi, thanks for your work on loadsim.

Some comments:

    * it is not clear what the duration attribute in the use-sequence
element does
    * an example of the publish XML configuration would be useful
    * for some purposes, such as measuring response times as a function
of time, it would be good if the results.csv file contained timestamps

I had problems starting the LoadSim filter in Muffin. The only way it
would work was for me to add a new filter with the fully qualified class
name of the filter - the pre-configured LoadSim filter did nothing.

Also, when it did work, it generated a sequence.xml file with links like
the following:

    <link
id="Params.richmedia=yes&site=smh&adspace=468x60&cat=breaking&loc=top"
          host="http://campaigns.f2.com.au"

pathroot="/js.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&site=smh&adspace=468x60&cat=breaking&loc=top">

    </link>

The simulator wouldn't load this file because the XML is not
well-formed. In particular...the &'s  should be encoded as &amp;'s.
Manually editing the file to change occurrences of & to &amp; solved the
problem.

[Loadsim-users] Loadsim logs

[Hakala T. <Tom...@so...>]

I am trying to find out what is causing the bad samples when
generating heavy load to my website. The log has the following kind
of error messages:

[22 huhti 2002 11:19:34.729 GMT+03:00][ERROR][Caught an exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException: killing thread]

[22 huhti 2002 11:19:35.450 GMT+03:00][ERROR][Caught exception: Address in
use: no further information ignoring sample]

Are these exceptions coming from my webapplication or are this generated by
the loadsim? 
How can I get more specific information about the errors?

[Loadsim-users] HTTP Auth

Hello

I was trying to use loadsim on a project of mine. The site is however 
password protected via Basic HTTP authentication. Is there a way to

http://<username>:<password>@www.server.com method and it didn't seem to 
work.

Re: [Loadsim-users] Record isn't working

[Vincent S. <vsh...@op...>]

This is a bit confusing...

Once you've got the LoadSim window open in Muffin, you should click the
"Browse" button next to the Output File: text box.  Select the directory
where you want to the file saved and then give the file a name.  In the
text box you should see the full path of the file. 

Now, if you record/stop you should see the resulting file.  You should
only see the file after you hit the "Stop" button.

I've checked  this and it does, indeed, appear to be a bit flaky.  I
will try and look at the code tomorrow.  If you know much Java you can
also look at the code.  It is the org.openware.loadsim.muffin.LoadSim
class.

Sorry for the confusion.

SV: [Loadsim-users] Problems with session id's

[Torvald B. B. <Tor...@er...>]

Hehe, can't really say that I understand what I meant by mail html eiter,
but you got the point. What I have done in the meantime is to hack the
source so that if I specify ____SID____ for a constant value, it inserts the
value of the form field 'sid' from the last response. This works for this
problem. In the meantime I have found some problems with the dataset
functionality also, so I have made some modifications there too.

regards
Torvald B. Bringsvor





It's unclear to me what you mean by "mail html".  LoadSim generally does
support what I call page data (the most common example being URL encoded
session IDs).  That functionality is, unfortunately, currently broken.



If you can use a cookie based approach LoadSim will work for you now. 
One of the downsides of paged data is that LoadSim has to parse the
downloaded pages, which means you cannot simulate as many virtual users.
