LoadRunner Citrix Protocol
  • Citrix Vuser scripts emulate the Citrix ICA
    protocol communication between a Citrix client
    and server. VuGen records all activity during the
    communication and creates a Vuser script.
  • A Citrix VUsers memory footprint is 2x-3x a Web
    VUsers memory footprint.

Tips Tricks
  • Use keystrokes (not the mouse) as much as
    possible within the application.
  • For expandable submenus, click on each
    menu/submenu in order to display the submenu on
    playback.
  • Sync on bitmaps when changing windows, tabs, and
    menus to ensure the current screen/tab/menu loads
    successfully before entering data.

5
Tips Tricks (cont.)
  • When parameterizing combo boxes, use the down
    arrow key to select an entry.
  • Verify that the Citrix color settings for all
    load generators are the same (as the computer
    where the scripts were recorded) before running
    the scripts.
  • Passwords are now encrypted.

Keystrokes
  • Use keystrokes (not the mouse) as much as
    possible within the application.

7
Menus/Submenus
  • For expandable submenus, click on each
    menu/submenu in order to display the submenu on
    playback.
  • The Citrix protocol does not record mouse
    movement, only mouse clicks.

8
Bitmap Syncs
  • Sync on bitmaps when changing windows, tabs, and
    menus to ensure the current screen/tab/menu loads
    successfully before entering data.
  • The script may run successfully without these
    syncs when few users are running. As load is
    added, the scripts will most likely fail.

9
Combo Boxes
  • When parameterizing combo boxes, use the down
    arrow key to select an entry.
  • The number of down arrow key presses can then be
    included in a loop with the number of loops
    determined by a parameter in order to select the
    appropriate value in the list.

10
Color Settings
  • Verify that the Citrix color settings for all
    load generators is the same (as the computer
    where the scripts were recorded ) before running
    the scripts.
  • Citrix color setting differences can cause
    problems with bitmap sync functions.

11
Encrypted Passwords
  • Passwords are now encrypted.
  • To parameterize the username/password, record a
    small script with each username/password
    combination.
  • The username and encrypted password can be stored
    in a parameter file.
