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 pac...

How to troubleshoot high Memory utilization during performance testing

 When troubleshooting high memory utilization during performance testing, it's important to identify the underlying causes and take appropriate steps to address the issue.  Here are some steps to troubleshoot high memory utilization: Monitor Memory Usage: Use performance monitoring tools to track memory usage over time. Monitor both physical and virtual memory (RAM) to identify if memory consumption is exceeding available resources. Identify Memory-Intensive Processes: Identify the specific processes or components that are consuming a significant amount of memory. Performance monitoring tools can help you identify the memory-hungry processes. Look for any particular application, service, or module that stands out in terms of memory usage. Analyze Code and Memory Allocation: Review your application's code and algorithms to identify any memory leaks, inefficient memory allocation, or excessive object creation. Look for areas where large amounts of memory are being consumed unnec...
