Re: Working with dynamic links (HTML Link Parser) (Websphere portal
6.0)
Shouldnt be any difference from any other web app . Dynamic links almost
always need a regex post processor or an XPATH post processor. A link parser
is probably not appropriate. Do you have a specific problem?

Also to add if you are having security related problems , you might be
facing problems with SessionIds. Ensure you have a CookieManager, your
requests use FollowRedirects (and not RedirectAutomatically)
and http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/DifferentBehaviour

Re: Working with dynamic links (HTML Link Parser) (Websphere portal

Posted by Deepak Shetty <sh...@gmail.com>.
Hi
I havent worked specifically with WebSphere (WebLogic being my thing), but
this really doesnt matter , its a web -application and the principles are
the same.
You have to first note what your app does on the browser (you can use
LiveHttpHeaders, Fiddler, HTTPWatch or tool of your choice). Then identify
what parts are dynamic (if you do the same thing again in a new browser
window, what changes?.) Then find out where in the previous http request
this data is present and then modify JMeter test to add a post processor to
extract this data out into a variable and then change the JMeter test to use
this variable in the next step. You should also add assertions to each step
so that you can quickly identify which pages are failing. And finally you
can use View Results Tree Listener to compare what JMeter sends and receives
with what the Browser sends and receives.
If you have any internet facing website we can take a look ...

Re: Working with dynamic links (HTML Link Parser) (Websphere portal

Thank you.
Did you test portal application use JMeter successfully?
My test case navigates about 10 portal page and makes data update. After I
start JMeter and sent requests, I checked the WebSphere log, always got
invalid security ID and the data never be updated.
I have no idea what kind of post process I should do. It seems some server
related response security stuff should be saved, I do not know what they are
and how to do it. Would you give me detail example about it?
Thank you very much.
