Jmeter for recording http protocol in citrix environment
Hi,
I need to record the peoplesoft application using Jmeter.
It has a web url. But the application is accessible in citrix environment
only.
The problem I am facing is, Jmeter is not able to record the events when
application is accessed in citrix environment.
What I have done is:
I have created the test plan,
where I have added, HTTP proxy server, HTTP request defaults, HTTP
cookie Manager and Recording Controller.
Now to record the events in http, we need to start the HTTP proxy server,
but the problem for me is, when I open the IE which is part of Citrix
environment, I am not finding the LAN settings option itself in IE (because
the IE which is part of Citrix will not have Connections tab enabled) .
Where I can go and give the proxy server as localhost and port as 8080 and
start recording.
Without doing the proxy server setting, how can I make jmeter understand
the events.
My query is, is there any alternative to record in Jmeter without doing the
proxy setting for citrix environment and any other alternate way to record
using jmeter?

I have used JMeter on Citrix and have faced this problem.
So I installed BadBoy on Citrix, recorded the application using BadBoy
and exported it to JMeter.
If you don't want to do that, you should have admin privileges on Citrix
Box so that you can change the Connection Settings on IE.
Thanks
Pramod

Probably not possible.

No, JMeter can only record events that it sees, and it can only see
events via its Proxy Server. If you cannot set the browser to use the
JMeter Proxy then JMeter cannot record the events.
I don't know how Citrix works, so I don't know if JMeter will work
with Citrix. Does Citrix work with any browser? If not, then it is
possible that it has to hook itself into the browser in order to work.
In which case it's unlikely it will work with JMeter.
But you could try using BadBoy with IE to record a simple session.
Check if that works when played back with Badboy.
Then export it and see if it works with Citrix. You may need to tweak
the exported plan.
