How do we write a user defined function in LoadRunner?

Create the external library that contains the function. This library must then be added to the bin directory of VuGen. And then, the user-defined function can be assigned as a parameter.

-Source-Internet:

We need to create an external DLL libraray to use the user defiend function. It can be substitued as paramter values.

The syntax is:
__declspec(dllexport) char *(char *, char *)
Both the arguments passed are NULL for this function.

An User-defined function could be :
__declspec(dllexport) char *GetSysDate(char *, char *)

This would return the system date. You could substitute this returned value for a parameter instead.

Once the .dll is declared In LoadRunner script you can directly use this function:

lr_load_dll("mydll.dll")

Then you can call the functions in the .dll directly:
date = GetSysDate(char1, char2)

char1 and char2 and the names of variables

Note: Within a header file you can also define other user defined functions to be called within the script. This process is followed in most of the situations as working with DLL is costlier for simple functions which can be created within a header file.

Pacing Time in LoadRunner

What is Pacing? Where and why to use it? -Pacing is the time which will hold/pause the script before it goes to next iteration. i.e Once the   Action   iteration is completed the script will wait for the specific time(pacing time) before it starts the next one. It works between two actions. eg, if we record a script there will be three default actions generated by the Load Runner:   vuser_init, Action   and   vuser_end,   the pacing will work after the   Action   block and hold the script before it goes to repeat it. The default blocks generated by LoadRunner is shown below: Actions marked in Red Now we know what is pacing and we use it between two iteration. The next question comes to mind is why we use pacing: Pacing is used to: To control the number of TPS generated by an user. To control number of hits on a application under test.     Types of Pacing: There are three options to control the pacing in a script: General Pacing:    1. As soon

Error handling using Text Check

String Comparison in Loadrunner script

How to compare a string in Loadrunner script? -There are various methods to compare a string, in below example we have used "strcmp" to compare two values. We have captured a string in "pComparisonString" parameter and comparing it with ABC. Lets say if you have captured some string using correlation and want to compare if the captured string meets the condition then only pass the transactions else fail the transaction: if (strcmp(lr_eval_string("{pComparisonString}"),"ABC") == 0) { lr_output_message("The parameter value is %s", lr_eval_string("{pComparisonString}")); lr_end_transaction("Transaction_Failed",LR_FAIL); } else { lr_error_message("No parameter value captured."); lr_end_transaction("Transaction_Passed",LR_PASS); } -------------------------------------------------------- strcmp- String comparison function. pComparisonString- String which we have captured for compar
