Using Windows Remote Desktop Connection Remote Desktop Connection (part of the Terminal Services that comes with

Winodows XP) is not as reliable with LoadRunner as Remote Administrator.

To keep Windows Remote Desktop Connection sessions from timing out during a test, the Terminal Services on each machine should be configured as follows:

1. Click Start, point to Programs (or Control Panel), Administrative Tools and choose Terminal Services Configuration.

2. Open the Connections folder in tree by clicking it once.

3. Right-click RDP-Tcp and select Properties.

4. Click the Sessions tab.

5. Make sure "Override user settings" is checked.

6. Set Idle session limit to the maximum of 2 days instead of the default 2 hours.

7. Click Apply.

8. Click OK to confirm message "Configuration changes have been made to the system registry; however, the user session now active on the RDP-Tcp connection will not be changed."

 Make sure that when you do this you're not violating one of your corporation's security policies.

 Terminal Server only allows two simultaneous connections. To disconnect from a session, do not click "X" on the remote desktop window but click Start and Log Off.

(II) Install and Uninstall Load Runner:

The Annoyance

I began writing this page because this message pops up when I ran the LoadRunner 9.10 setup after I had uninstalled LoadRunner 9.0.

"Setup has determined that a previous installation has not completed.You should restart the system in order to complete this process."

I rebooted and restarted the machine several times, but still got this message when I ran LoadRunner setup.

Others who have encountered this same problem solved this by re-imaging the LoadRunner machine and cussing at HP's copyright protection gone wild.

But being the stubborn sort, I investigated further before pulling out my Windows install CDs.

As it turns out, Alejandro at HP's help desk helped me identify the problem as having to do with geeky paranoia and incomplete instructions rather than HP's greed and distrust.

The people who wrote that message from LoadRunthe setup are actually trying to tell us something like "your fly is open" -- reboot did not complete all tasks specified for it in the Windows Registry.

Out of self-defense, LoadRunner setup was (understandably) written such that it doesn't allow itself to be installed on a machine if its Windows Registry has other installation tasks that may conflict with LoadRunner. The logic is that it's better to avoid doing the install with something that can be "easily fixed" (by completing the install) than to plow on with an install that may be interrupted by possible malware.

Perhaps the LoadRunner developer who wrote the pop-up message didn't have enough room in the message to say this clue:

Rebooting Windows is not resolving "PendingFileRenameOperation" or "RunOnce" requests in the Windows Registry.

Or perhaps a dutiful programmer proposed putting this in the message to "users", but someone would redact it after saying "oh, nobody would understand this" because the assumption is that monkeys are running LoadRunner (even though it takes deep and wide experience in multiple technologies to be an effective Performance Engineer).

 

 

Page 4: LR(Dotexe Files)

Some documents say "disable" spyware before attempting setup. But doing so does not necessarily remove keys in the Registry that creates the problem.

 The Solution

Invoke   regedit to see if a "PendingFileRenameOperation" is waiting unsatisfied under the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

One example I deleted is:

\??\C:\Program Files\McAfee\SiteAdvisor\Download...

A "Run Once" registry key entry can exist in several places:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Windows may get stuck with these entries if someone runs a setup program that requires a reboot (as LoadRunner does), but deletes that program before rebooting. And when Windows can't carry out the deed, it leaves that request in the registry on the oft chance that the file sought will someday turn up, like a forelorn animal howling in the night.

 The key "PendingFileRenameOperation" doesn't seem to have anything to do with LoadRunner. Deleting it from the registry enabled LoadRunner setup to continue on its merry way.

My suggestion to LoadRunner programmers is to look for the key LoadRunner places in the Windows Registry during setup rather than throwing up if there are ANY unresolved items there.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons for LoadRunner doing this. For example, Windows Update, some spyware (and anti-spyware) add such entries to make some programs load after reboot. If an installer is asking for a reboot after install, chances are that it has placed a RunOnce or pending request in the Registry.

BTW, it's still a good idea to start from a fresh install of Windows to setup LoadRunner if your are also running programs to "harden" the LoadRunner machine.

 Files LoadRunner Installs

Within the C:\WINDOWS folder:

wlrun5.ini wlrun7.dft wlrun7.hst wlrun7.ini 

 

 

Page 5: LR(Dotexe Files)

wlrun.ini LRAnalysis80.ini LoadRunner.log vugen.small.ini

In the folder where LoadRunner is installed:

Program Files\HP\LoadRunner for V9.10 Program Files\Mercury\LoadRunner for V8.x

Within Program Files\Common Files

\Mercury\LoadRunnercfgamp16.dll cfgamp32.dll cfgams32.dll

\Mercury InteractiveWithin folder TDAPIClient:

tdclient.dll TDClntui.dll OTAClient75.dll (in versions prior to 9.x).

Within folder TD2000:TDClientBridge.dll

Within Program Files beginning with LR9.50

\Bradbury\TopStyle3\ (for CSS) \LogiXML IES Dev\ (for Logi Report)

Version 6 of LoadRunner created folder C:\Borland or C:\BDE.

 Windows Registry Entries

LoadRunner affects keys within several Windows Registry keys at the high level:

o HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\  (HKCR)o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\  (HKCU)

o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\  (HKLM)

o HKEY_USERS andHKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG are not involved.

The {GUID} identified below may change for different versions of LoadRunner.

(III)Why Load Test?

  

Page 13: LR(Dotexe Files)

Scability Testing buys us confirmation of predictions about what will happen before it happens, buying the lead time to do the right thing when additional capacity is needed.

Load testing provides measurements for Capacity Managers  to anticipate the true capacity of IT resources: whether it can really support the peak workloads  anticipated.

Stress (Overload) testing  identifies the predicted point of failure where servers fail to handle loads.

The biggest actionable concern is time needed to recover from overload.

Most web hosts today control overload by issuing "Service Unavailable".

The existing capacity of the system is ideally defined by the usable capacity at a point of load where users noticeslow response time is noticeable. This is obtained by conducting Speed (performance) testing

The difference between the current load (the actual demand) and usable capacity from load testing is the realreserve capacity — the amount of "head room" for growth or the ability to handle variation in demand.

The work of capacity management is finding a balance between the unused expense of having too much idle capacity against the risk of reputation-damaging problems from not enough capacity.

Upgrades to capacity can be smoother if there is what the ITIL methdology calls a common Forward Schedule of Changes (FSC).

Lead time include time for planning and testing, which can be shortened by a more agile approach.

The approximate date when usable capacity will be reached can be calculated by dividing into the usable reserve capacity the rate capacity usaage is growing (per day). Subtracing the lead time from that date yields the the Trigger Point when upgrade work should begin.

Subtracting the amount of capacity growth during the lead time yields the threshold of workload which should trigger an upgrade.

Thus, this chart gives actionable meaning to production monitoring.

 Sample Capacity Projection CalculationsA. An analysis of archived Weblogs reveal the current daily peak of 300,000 hits per hour and

(dividing by the average of 10 resources per page as determined using HTTPWatch or YSlow) yields 30,000 pages per hour.

B. A meeting with analysts (using Google Analytics) identify that each user transaction averages just 3 pages.

So 30,000 / 3 means that there are currently 10,000 user transactions per hour. Divided by 60 minutes in an hour means 166.667 transactions per minute. Divided by 60 seconds in each minute means 2.778 transactions per second.

C. A conversation with Marketing department obtained the prediction of a 100% increase in workload by the same time next year.

So this means that the workload rate will double to 600,000 hits per hour or 60,000 pages per hour or 20,000 user transactions per hour.

The amount of workload growth is 60,000 pages - 30,000 pages current = 30,000 pages per hour.

Since each day is 100% / 365 = 2.74%, the daily growth rate is 30,000 * 0.0274 = 82.2 more pages per day growth each day, on average (assuming a linear growth pattern).

D. Load test runs find that the current system fails when load reaches 60,000 pages per hour. However, response time degrades after 50,000 pages per hour.

Subtracting the current capacity means there are 50,000 - 30,000 = 20,000 pages per hour of reserve capacity growth remaining.

This translates into 20,000 / 82.2 = 243 days of growth remaining.

E. A conversation with Operations reveals that it takes 40 days to order, receive, install, configure, test, and switch over before a machine can be used. That is when there is no queue in Operations, which is generally 10 days.

This means that upgrading action should begin no later than 40 + 10 = 50 days of lead time before the usable capacity limit is reached.

If the predicted growth actually occurs accurately, this trigger point will be reached in 243 - 50 = 193 days.

Page 15: LR(Dotexe Files)

During the lead time, the anticipated growth in workload over 50 days * 82.2 per day * 24 = 98,640 more pages per hour.

Working backward, the workload trigger point is when the workload reaches 50,000 - 10,686 = 39,314.
