In JMeter, how can I correlate/parameterize from HTTP Header Manager? - jmeter

My HTTP Request has child HTTP Header Manager. The HTTP Header Manager has dynamic values, and other parameters depending on search on GUI application. See picture. The xsrf-token is dynamic, and auditlog varies depending on my search by vEnl. I am using JMeter 4.0. The HTTP Requests are GET, and therefore cannot use the checkbox "Use multipart/form-data for POST" either. How can I correlate/parameterize in this situation?

Use Regular Expression Extractor in the response of whatever request which has the right value for this Header Manager. Name it for example :testDynaVar
Then use ${testDynaVar} in auditlog's value. The parameter value will be passed to this header manager.

You need to extract this xsrf-token from the previous response using a suitable JMeter Post-Processor, save it into a JMeter Variable and substitute recorded hard-coded value with this variable in the HTTP Header Manager, check out How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites article for example implementation.
HTTP Header Manager can evaluate JMeter Variables in the runtime and substitute the placeholders with the respective values:
with regards to this auditlog header your question doesn't contain enough information to come up with the proper configuration, from the first glance you can parameterize this ctime argument using __time() function

jMeter: How to save a variable as cookie

I'm testing a site in jMeter 5.1 that once returns a header "X-Csrf-Token" and expects the value to be found in a cookie named __csrf_token-1.
The HTTP Cookie manager alone is no help, as I need to write a response header (not a recieved cookie) into a cookie.
How can change cookie values on the fly?
Thanks!
Extract the cookie from the previous response using i.e. Regular Expression Extractor configured like:
double check that the extraction succeeds using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
Add HTTP Cookie Manager as a child of the next request and configure it to send __csrf_token-1 cookie with the value of ${token}
make sure to provide correct Domain and Path values, if you don't know them - change "Cookie Policy" to netscape

Jmeter - Parameters missing

We are using the jmeter recording template to see the api requests by our unsigned app.
When we use charles as the proxy, we are getting all the urls properly.
But when we use the jmeter recording template, we get 'MISSING PARAMETERS' for all GET requests. Essentially, jmeter does not get any parameters that are sent with the GET request.
POST requests work properly.
Any advice?
For convenience JMeter stores the request parameters under "Parameters" section of the HTTP Request sampler
it's better to work with attribute-value pairs for parameterization or correlation purposes than having to edit the URL string which might be very long.
If you replay your recorded request(s) and look into Request tab of the View Results Tree listener you will see that the parameters are concatenated to protocol, domain, etc. in the URL:

How to create a test in Jmeter where a unique location header is returned

Sorry for the title being a little unclear, but I will do my best to explain what I am trying to achieve.
Send a xml request to the following URL `http://122.52.45.18:16000/foo/v1/TestData/ using POST.
This returns a HTTP/1.1 200 OK and a unique location header so something like `c4299g99-986f-53d6-c635-171b312333ef (location header is unique each time)
This is then added to the end of the request URL to retrieve the response(which is also an xml) via a GET. `http://122.52.45.18:16000/foo/v1/TestData/c4299g99-986f-53d6-c635-171b312333ef
In Jmeter, I have been trying to use the
WebSocket request-response Sampler plugin to get it working but don't believe this is the right plugin to use.
What can I do in Jmeter to create a test for this?
You can use HTTP Request sampler. Add this sampler to Thread Group, choose it and change Method to POST (by Default it's GET) then select Body Data tab to paste the XML that you want to send.
After that you will be able to extract and reuse the value from request with Regular Expression Extractor (just choose Field to check - Response Headers on that screen) to send it to the next one.
Also you can simply record a scenario with your browser and JMeter proxy.

Jmeter- Overwrite Global HTTP Header Manager over HTTP Header Manager available with Http Request Sampler

For my application when I record , each HTTP request has required Headers that are maintained at individual HTTP Header Manager.
Now an Authentication token is also managed in the Header manager for every request after login. For multiple users I pass variable for this Authentication token. To make this happen I need to edit in every Header(or I do it opening jmx file in Notepad++ and then replacing all). But is there any way like using a global HTTP header manager that will override over Sample lever Headers.
As per Using JMeter's HTTP Header Manager article:
JMeter now supports multiple Header Managers.
The header entries are merged to form the list for the sampler. If an entry to be merged matches an existing header name, it replaces the previous entry, unless the entry value is empty in which case any existing entry is removed. This allows one to set up a default set of headers, and apply adjustments to particular samplers.
If you don't like the situation you can uncheck "Capture HTTP Headers" box in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
If all headers are same throughout the script then you can remove all individual headers which are currently child of http request samplers and keep only one header manager outside of all request which will act as a global header manager and it will pass values to all requests

JMeter not recording an ADF application

I am following the below link to configure JMeter for Oracle's ADF 11g. I am not able to record the ADF Application deployed on WebLogic Server ver 10.3.6 using JMeter 2.10. My JDeveloper version is 11.1.2.4.
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/configuring-apache-jmeter-specifically.html
The document looks good but I see some weird Test Plan structure. I would suggest to do the following:
Record your use case via JMeter HTTP Proxy server
When you'll get set of "interesting" HTTP requests you'll need to deal with dynamic values as it's described in the guide. The key point is that Regular Expression Extractor is a Post Processor so it must be a child of HTTP Request.
JSESSIONID cookie is handled by HTTP Cookie Manager, there is no need to append it to the URL. Just make sure that you have CookieManager.save.cookies=true property. It can be found in jmeter.properties file under /bin folder of your JMeter installation.
So you need to implement next steps:
Record some HTTP Requests
Extract viewstate and other dynamic stuff from first request via Regular Expression Extractor Post Processor and save it as JMeter Variables
Use variables instead of recorded hard-coded values
You can inspect requests and responses via "View Results Tree" listener, it's able to demonstrate request and response headers, cookies, timings, etc. and response data to assure that you've reached desired page in your flow.
Hope this helps.
