Web_Add_Cookie, do i need to remove this from my script?

[Ltester]

All,
I created a script with the protocol "SAP WEB", and now i can see
lines that look like this

web_add_cookie
("__utma=53051772.1381310793.1258072906.1258710680.1259973614.20;
DOMAIN=susd15.Testingqa.com");

web_add_cookie("IV_JCT=%2Fscesus;
DOMAIN=scesuppliersbx.edisonintl.com");

Am i suppose to take them out of the script?

can this cause any issues?

Thanks

The answer is "sometimes". It depends on where that recorded cookie came from.
The rule of thumb:
- If the cookie is added via a HTTP header, then you can probably remove it
- If it's added via javascript (document.cookie = ) then you probably
can't and may have to correlate.

Remove the cookie and run the scripts, if no issues, then u can remove it. Only some cookies need to correlated. These cookis will not make any impact on the system/response times.

Try running the script w the cookies. Cookies should be handled by LR
so you need not be too worried over it
However, at times, the cookies may cause your scripts not to work as
they are retrieving specified values from the cookies which are used
in authentication.
therefore do take note of this.

The thing is, Loadrunner solves the cookie problem for roughly 90% of
the cookies by automatically handling cookies that get added via HTTP
headers when the script runs.
Don't ask me why it still records those. It does, and we get to delete them.

But, for the remaining 10% or so (YMMV - it's probably less) of the
cookies in your recording there actually is a good reason why they are
there: They were added via other means - usually javascript, code
running inside the webpage which the basic HTTP protocol does NOT
emulate.
(That's what Click & Script is for..)

Er, cookies do not on their own retrieve values from other cookies.
Sure, it's possible that a cookie gets added via javascript that uses
a value that was added via a different cookie. In that case you may
have to correlate these values. But the criterium 'it uses a value
inside a cookie' isn't why you correlate. The real criterium is "it
uses data that was send to me in the previous transaction". How it was
send to you and how you send that data back is kind of irrelevant. ;-)
