LoadRunner is unable to direct to a specified URL with web_url() function

[NeerajSharma]

Hi All, 

I have been trying to test my Application built in Spring Web Flow through LoadRunner, property of which(Spring Web Flow) is that the URL changes frequently after each browser navigation request. But when I am replaying my script through VuGen tool , it is redirecting it to new a unexpected URL. Manually everything works fine.

Expected URL Flow is given below : 

http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e1s2 to http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e1s3

But actually what is happening as I figured out from the logs is that It is redirecting it to a new URL 

http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e2s1 instead of http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e1s3.

Which is causing my test case to fail..

Below attached is my script and logs mentioned below.... Please help me...

web_url("main_3",
"URL=http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e1s2",
"Resource=0",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=http://cscvappnor107:9085/exceed_8087_nor107/spring/main?execution=e1s1",
"Snapshot=t7.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
LAST);

Logs of LoadRunner Script execution :

In bold text, It is showing that redirection of URL. And By Manual execution of flow everything works fine.

Please help if somebody has ever faced this kind of problem before.

NeerajSharma, welcome to the forum.

When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.

Sure. Thanks.. But Anyone who has an expertise in this thing. Please help me. It seems to me that LoadRunner does not support Spring Web Flow Applications because the URL changes dynamically.

[NeerajSharma]

Some thing that I checked with my Application is that the value of javax.faces.viewstate is generating randomly large. To me it seems to be an issue. Just look at the underlined text value.

Environment Details :

Window 2008

Application Server : - > WAS 8.5

Finally I am able to resolve this Issue. The issue is basically specific to WAS application sevrer. Changing the Header options in the recording options options in Load Runner Settings resolved this Issue.

What I did to resolved it :--->

In Vugen Setting-

1). Go to HTTP Setting.

2). Go to advanced.

3). Click on Headers

4). Remove all the Headers.

5). Click on restore List.

6). Save Setting and try to execute the script again.
