TestManager can determine correlation items

Setting Script Generation Options

6-25

3. At

Correlate variables in response

, select one of the following:

All

All variables are correlated. You should generally select this option.

Select another option only if you encounter problems when you play back
the script.

Specific

Only the variables that you select are correlated.

None

No variables are correlated.

If you have selected

All

Specific

, your generated VU script will contain the

function

http_find_values

. This function finds the value of items that the

server returns and the user does not change. It then correlates these values and places
them in a system-defined variable in the form

SgenRes_00n

Examine the script to determine whether the proper values are being correlated. If
you want fewer values to be correlated, change the

Correlate variables in response

option to

Specific

, and then use the

Add

and

Remove

buttons to select only the names

that you want correlated.

For example, assume you enter data in a form during recording, and the form has a
field that you cannot modify--for example,

UNITED STATES

. In the generated

script, the

http_response

emulation command will show the form as follows:

"<form name = \...

...

"\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Country\" value=\"UNITED

STATES\">\r\n

TestManager can determine that this is an item for correlation, and adds an

http_find_values

function to your script. This function puts the

UNITED

STATES

value in a variable. Your script will also contain a line that looks like this

{

string SgenRes_002[];

SgenRes_002 = http_find_values("Country", HTTP_FORM_DATA, 1);

#if 0

#endif

}

If you do not want

UNITED STATES

to be correlated, choose

Specific

but do not

select the Country name from the list. You do not have to re-record the script; you
can simply regenerate it from the session.
