This guide describes how to carry out a load test on an application using Oracle Forms under optimum conditions. We strongly recommend that you read this guide before you start your first tests, after having first acquainted yourself with NeoLoad by reading the Quick Start Guide and the Design User Guide.
During a test, NeoLoad records the requests and responses exchanged between the Oracle Forms applet and the server. For these exchanges to be intercepted, both NeoLoad and the Oracle Forms server need to be configured.
The Oracle Forms applet file must be copied into the
<neoload>/lib/plugins/ext directory. By
default, the Oracle Forms applet file can be found in the Oracle Forms
installation at:
<oracle_home>/forms/java/frmall.jar. For
further information, see the documentation on configuring NeoLoad for Oracle
Forms.
NeoLoad supports the naming of Oracle Forms components. This allows NeoLoad to identify the Oracle Forms graphical components by their name instead of by a number.
To configure the server, see the documentation on configuring the Oracle Forms server for NeoLoad
You may check to see if the Oracle Forms server is configured correctly.
Procedure 11.1. How to check that the Oracle Forms server is configured correctly
Make a recording.
In NeoLoad, find the page with the name starting with
1:initial_version.
Expand the page, then click on the request with the same name as the page.
In the XML content, find the INITIAL_CMDLINE
property.
In the relevant value tag, find the
record=names string. If the string is present, then
the Oracle Forms server is correctly configured. If the string is not
present, the Oracle Forms server needs to be configured. See the
documentation on configuring the Oracle Forms
server for NeoLoad.
