How to extract the response in Load Runner when there is only one value in response.
For example response contains value "3".I need this value in next request.How can I correlate that.
In the case where there is no other data returned in the message body, you can use empty left and right boundaries to capture everything that is returned. You will of course need to do some validation on the returned value.
web_reg_save_param_ex(
"ParamName=cValue",
"LB=",
"RB=",
SEARCH_FILTERS,
"Scope=body",
LAST);
In addition to what has been described by Joel, you can also try this:
Snapshot View --> HTTP Data --> Response Body --> Select the response value to be correlated --> Right click --> Create Correlation
This would create the correlation code automatically on to the script at the required place.
There is always a left and right boundary for you to hook to, example
..."lb=<html>","rb=</html>",...
What did you try before asking and what were the results of those experiments?

I have prepared my script using Correlation-regular expression. How can I provide the assertion for account which is selected from .csv file. Here the account selection is stored in a regular expression as follows.
CSV_Data_set_Config, CSV_File_info, Account_Selection_From_UI, Regular_Expression, Sample_Thread_Group, Response_Assertion
Your screenshots are very beautiful but you need to specify what do you want to compare with what in order to get a comprehensive answer.
If you need to compare this 0048852 with the value from the CSV file you need to:
Extract this 0048852 using Regular Expression Extractor or Boundary Extractor
Add Response Assertion as a child of the request and configure it like:
For more detailed response you need to share at least partial HTML code of the page where the dropdown is selected showing the dropdown markup and indicate what exact value you need to "assert"
Why I cannot click on Parameters tab in HTTP Request section after I insert JSON body data in Body Data tab? I tried to define correlation and of course this will require us to define the variable as well. Just wondering, after I'm done with correlation part, how can I insert the variable in Parameters if it is disabled?
You can't send Parameters and Body Data, you must choose only one option of sending request body
If you need to send extra parameters in additional to request body then use query parameters in Path field, for example
path?parameter1=value¶meter2=value2
If you want to variablize/correlate the JSON request body - you can put the relevant JMeter Functions/Variables directly into "Body Data" tab
as you can see all the functions/variables are getting replaced by their respective values.
Also most probably you're getting JSON as the response so it makes sense to consider switching to JSON Extractor or even better JSON JMESPath Extractor for the correlation.
I have to extract multiple correlating variables from a response (which is json) in JMeter. Part of the response is listed below:
I have tried $..[?(#.sType == '7')].tId but its not worked for me
To proceed with the next request, I have to extract tId (2309), on the basis of " Stype = 7 " There are several units, each unit has several children and each children has several contents. Each content id matches just one children id and each children id matches just one unit id. Ids have to be selected on a random basis.
I've tried to extract all ids from the response and use them randomly, but it doesn't work this way.
Posting incomplete JSON is some form of disregard to the community, you're supposed to create a minimal reproducible example yourself, I'll note your username and it will be the last time you're having support from me.
Coming back to your question:
Try something like:
topics.*[?(#.tSections[3].sType == 7)].tId

You cannot get parent of a JSON node using JSON Extractor. you will need to write custom code in groovy / javascript with for-loops
I need to take the input for next page from previous page source.
Previous page source:
In next page I need to pass this departure city as input in URL.
Sample URL:
/findflight?depart=Acapulco
Here I want to pass the Departure city's(previous page) in next page URL.
So, how can I parameterized this in jmeter??
Let me know if anyone need any additional info on this!!
You can use "Post Processor" like "Regular Expression Extractor" or Boundary Extractor and then pass it in the next sampler path as ${varSam}
Below is a sample where I am using Regular Expression extractor to fetch a value and putting it in a variable. So, this is your request from where you have to fetch the departure city.
Here I am passing that variable in the URL
Hope it helps
Add CSS/JQuery Extractor as a child of the request which returns the above HTML
Configure it as follows:
You will get a random city stored as depart variable and will be able to access its value as ${depart} where required
Optionally you can extract all the values by setting "Match No." to -1, this will give you the following variables:
See How to Use the CSS/JQuery Extractor in JMeter for more information if needed
It is resolved by using the Post Processor(Regular expression extractor). Applied this to the page response.
Page response
parameterized this as following:
Request for the next page by using the above parameterized value
Thanks for the help!!
I am using SoapUI Pro 4.5.2 to read data from spreadsheets, put them into Soap requests to my web service, and get responses back to write to a spreadsheet. It's working.
I have two fields in the input data pertinent to my question:
Middle name is defined as a string of 4 characters, and as minOccurs = 1 and maxOccurs = 1.
Postal extension code (the 4-digit number that is optional after the normal 5-digit code) is defined as a string of 4 digits. This field is optional, so it is marked as minOccurs=0 and maxOccurs=1.
When I use the SoapUI UI interface to send a request, this works fine; if there's no value for middle name, SoapUI generates an empty tag and sends it (I guess because of the minOccurs=1). If there's no value for PostalCode, it does not send any tag at all (I guess because of minOccurs=0).
When SoapUI reads data from an Excel spreadsheet, however, the response to the same data is an error indicating that the extended postal code value of '' is not legal, because it must be 4 digits. It appears that SoapUI generates an empty tag for the extended postal code when reading data from the spreadsheet, and sends it.
I found the "Remove Empty Content" option for SoapUI requests, default to false. I set it to true, and now get an error back from validation indicating that middle name is required but not found. I'm guessing that the remove empty content removed all the empty content (reasonable enough), and middle name has to be there, even if empty, because of the minOccurs=1.
Do I have any way out of this tail-chasing problem? I suppose I'm looking for something like a conditional for the output of the postal extension code, so I can eliminate it if it's empty, even if reading values from the spreadsheet.
I am also curious if there are XSD fixes, but I greatly prefer a fix that doesn't involve changing the XSD -- that becomes a political matter.
EDIT FOR DETAIL:
To put input into the request: I have used the SoapUI UI to choose "properties" from the input spreadsheet for each of the input fields; when that's done, one ends up with values in the request fields like:
${SpreadsheetInput#FrstNm}
Where SpreadsheetInput is the name of the datasource step reading the spreadsheet, and FrstNm is one of the properties. I do this with the "Get Data" option off the popup menu you get by right-clicking the request input field, but there may be other ways.
So first your problem:
Remember that internally to SoapUI almost everything is a string. Doing something like:
<postCode>${SpreadsheetInput#PostCode}</postCode>
in your SOAP request, assuming PostCode is either blank or does not exist outright, will expand to:
<postCode></postCode>
and SoapUI will even optimize it to:
</postCode>
Then your validation kicks in, which says you do not need to provide this element, but if you do, it had better be 4-characters long. Which the above fails.
The solution:
You need to pragmatically (meaning you will have to write Groovy code) create this node in your request. There are several ways to handle this. The quick and dirty is with a Groovy step, that goes something like:
def postCode = context.expand('${SpreadsheetInput#PostCode}').trim()
if (postCode != null && postCode != '')
testRunner.testCase.setpropertyValue("postCodeNode", "<postCode>" + postCode + "</postCode>")
else
testRunner.testCase.setpropertyValue("postCodeNode", "")
Then in your request replace the original:
<postCode>${SpreadsheetInput#PostCode}</postCode>
with just:
${#TestCase#postCodeNode}
Notice, the XML node elements are part of the SoapUI property! Again: everything in SoapUI is just a plain string.
If you want something more hard-core, have a look at
dynamically create elements in a SoapUI request. This is mine.
