How to record Putty Commands

[Mahesh]

Hi Frns,

I want to record putty session on loadrunner, steps will be like this.

I will login to Putty , goto current directory, copy some files and transfer the same to other directory.

I tried using WinSock protocol but not able to identify parameters and correleation values.

Please help me with useful links or docs to learn about more on winsock protocol.

Regards

Mahesh

Thnks James,

Can we get the time taken by the service task on server machine by using RTE protocol?

My Requirement is as below,

I will copy a batch of files from one server to another server , 

This copying process will run on another interface server.

I want to get the time taken by Interface Server to copy files from Server A to Server B.

Regards

Mahesh

You can also use file transfer protocol but I am not sure it will support SSH.

You can connect your unix environment with winscp  via cmd
for example:
1. go to directory where winscp located in cmd
2. type this command
winscp.exe sftp://user:pwd@host:port
3. now you are in secure sell environment from your cmd
4. you can transfer files back and forth.

Once you do this manually, it becomes easy to convert into a script via simple C functions like system, popen, chdir .

Note: There may be some security constrain but talk to system admin or developer about your approach.

One you have decided upon your path, then you just insert the appropriate transaction markers around the transmission.  If you take the path of the system() command then you will not get timing data inside of LoadRunner and you may have to pull information from logs on the destination host.   Keep in mind that you will need to carefully watch the network interface of your load generator, particularly if you are doing large concurrent file transfers as this is quite different on the behavioral use of the interface from large numbers of users who are downloading small files (html, .js, .css, image, ...) as you wont have any inter-stream gaps during which other users/processes can naturally use the interface.  In this case you may have ten or more users all streaming their upload at once and competing for the same interface, which would be very different than an end user.    This may call for larger number of load generators to avoid a drag on the network interface which colors the result set.   Control factors of single users on load generators are going to be essential as a cross check against test design imposed delays.

This solution will involve the foundation skill of 'C' programming.

Thanks James, It's working on RTE.
