Problem with waiting page

[Pavan Maddipati]

Hi All

i recorded a script for a website & did dynamic correlation for all required parameters. but when i play the script , sometimes a new page is encountered saying "please wait while your request is been processed" . This page occurs randomly (based on server response time maybe) and has a different URL which keeps changing after about 2 seconds. so script is failing as it cant find the parameter values from the server response(as it sends a wait page instead of actual next page).


I am getting error like

" The parameter wcsparam_text1 could not be found"

I cant use think time for this as wait page is a different url itself. & there is no surety that wait page is definitely going to occur after a particular page (its just random)

How can i get the script to ignore the waitpage & search values in the next valid page only?


Thanx a lot in Advance


Thanks & Regards

Dont do Auto Correlation.

Do Manual correlation. 

That will solve your problem.

Autocorrelation is a crutch. Time for you to start learn how to walk for real.

This is a fairly classic and simple case. You'll need to do a list of things:

1) Make all web_reg_save_param() and web_reg_find() calls stop causing
errors when the values they were looking for are not getting found.
This is done with the "NotFound=Warning" argument, or possibly with
the "SaveCount=some_parameter" argument to web_reg_find().

2) Add a check for the text "please wait while your request .." etc:
web_reg_find("Savecount=pleasewait", "Text=please wait", LAST);

3) Now build a loop around the entire thing request as follows:

---
lr_save_int(1, "pleasewait");
while( atoi(lr_eval_string("{pleasewait}")) )
{
lr_think_time()


// setup the web_reg_find() and web_reg_save_param() calls here

// do the request and any start/end_transaction statements etc. here.
}


---

4) After that loop you will want to check if your original
web_reg_find() calls still found what they were looking for.
I'm not going to write that code out for you: This is left as an
exercise to the reader :-)
