Correlate variables in response

Setting Script Generation Options

6-29

In an arbitrarily named field of the HTTP header.

In an arbitrarily hidden field in an actual HTML page.

TestManager finds the session IDs (and other correlated variables) and, when you
run the suite, automatically generates the proper script commands to extract their
actual values.

Before you record a script, you can tell TestManager to correlate all possible values
(the default), not to correlate any values, or to correlate only a specific list of variables
that you provide.

To specify the level of data correlation:
1. Click

Tools

Tools >

> Session Record Options

Session Record Options

2. Click the

Generator per protocol

tab.

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 select

All

Specific

, your generated VU or VB scripts 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 correlated. If you
want fewer values to be correlated, change the

Correlate variables in response

option

Specific

, and then use the

Add

and

Remove

buttons to select only the names that

you want to correlate.

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 shows the form as follows:

"<form name = \...

...

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

STATES\">\r\n
