accesses the server database by modem

Every time a field service representative makes a repair, he accesses the server
database by modem. Using a character-based application, the service
representative records the customer complaint and accesses additional
information about the customer.
You want to test the response times of the server when many service personnel
simultaneously access the server. Using LoadRunner, you could create several
hundred RTE Vusers, each Vuser accessing the server database using a
character-based application. The RTE Vusers enable you to emulate and measure
the performance of your server under the load of many users.
The operations that an RTE Vuser performs on an application are defined in an
RTE Vuser script. You create RTE Vuser scripts by using the RTE Vuser Script
Generator for a Windows platform, or RTEGen for a Unix platform. The generator
enables you to record the actions that you perform on a character-based
application.
For further information on RTE Vusers, refer to the Creating Vuser Scripts guide
