You can change how SAP performance tests are generated,
such as how tests will process verification points, data correlation,
and pages.
About this task
To change the SAP test generation preferences:
Procedure
- Click .
- In the list on the left, expand Test, expand Performance Test Generation, and
click SAP Test Generation.
- Select the preference to change.
- Automatic Generation
- These settings specify test elements that are automatically generated
after recording the test.
- Use connection by string
- When enabled, tests are generated with the connection by string
launch method instead of using the SAP Logon program. This option
is enabled by default.
- Verification points for SAP screen titles
- When enabled, this option generates verification points on screen
titles with each SAP screen. This option is disabled by default.
- Verification points for SAP request response time threshold
- When enabled, this option generates verification points on the
response time of the SAP R/3 server. If the server response time is
above the specified threshold, the test produces a failed verification
point. This option is disabled by default.
- Calculate threshold from recorded (%)
- This specifes the default response time threshold that is calculated
when response time verification points are generated. The threshold
value is calculated as a percentage of the actual response time that
was measured during the recording. By default, the response time threshold
is generated with a value of 120% of the recorded response time.
- Default request timeout [ms]
- Specify a timeout value for a request to ping the server. When
the request is timed out, it no longer pings the server for that request.
- GUI on execution
- During test execution, it might not be desirable to display the
SAP GUI. Hiding the SAP GUI improves the performance of the virtual
users. This setting specifies the default behavior when the test is
generated. However, you can change this setting in the test editor
by selecting the SAP test element.
- Hide GUI during execution
- When selected, all instances of the SAP GUI are hidden. In some
cases, modal dialog boxes from the SAP GUI can flash briefly on the
screen. This is the default setting.
Note: If you run a test in the
hidden mode and the test fails due to modal dialog boxes or pop-up
windows in transactions, you must add the
RPT_VMARGS property
with value set to
rptSapForceShowNone=true in the
Location property.
- Show GUI for only one virtual user
- When selected, the SAP GUI is displayed only for the first virtual
user. All other instances of the SAP GUI are hidden. This allows you
to monitor the execution.
- Show GUI for all virtual users
- When selected, the SAP GUI is displayed for all virtual users.
- Password prompt
- Specifies behavior of the password request.
- Prompt me for password when generating test
- When enabled, a password is requested at the end of the recording
session. If disabled, the password is recorded with an empty string.
The recorder cannot record the password during the test. Therefore,
if this option is disabled, the test uses an empty string for the
password.
- After changing a setting, click Apply.
