The end result is two scripts:

1. Create - Fill out an application and save (ie navigate an select option to put on your shopping cart) - runs every 30 minutes

2. Remove - Remove items (if any) in shopping cart - runs every 15 minutes.

In KITE, I was able to create files as flags. When the "create" script starts, it creates a text file. The last step in the "create" script removes the file.

I dont want the "remove" script to delete items in the cart if the "create" script is running, so the "remove" script checks for the presence of the text file. If the file is found, it does not run the javascript which removes the cart items.

This was accomplished in kite using ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"). However, neither script with this control works when provisioned to an a TxP private agent. When I remove the ActiveXObject calls from the scripts, they both work when provisioned to a TxP agent.

However, this is not desired as the "create" script routinely saves items in the cart, and if the "remove" script runs before the "create" script is completed, I cannot validate all of the objects which should be in the cart at the end of the "create" script.

Is there another alternative to accomplish the same idea?

URL:

http://<server>:<port>//cms/soap

Query:

<CT_Get><userid>uid</userid<password>pwd</password<table>O4SRV.LOCALTIME</table><sql>SELECT NODE, O4ONLINE FROM O4SRV.INODESTS</sql></CT_Get>

Virtual Profiles allows you to create rows of data in named profiles.  Each row can have as many columns as you want.  You can then use those column values at multiple points in your script instead of static values.  The key is that the values are kept in sync.  Bob's password is letMeIn, his accountnumber is 1234 and his favorite color is blue.  Sally's password is IneverChangeIt, her accountnumber is 4321 and her favorite color is red.  Those variables, username, accountnumber and favColor can appear anywhere in your script.

When running in KITE, you can instantly promote one of the rows (profiles) to the default and run that example, then switch to another profile and run it again. 

When provisioning a script on the Keynote Network for proactive monitoring (paid usage), you leave the default blank and then assign each profile to a particular agent on the Keynote Network.  Need "Bob" to always log in from Hong Kong and "Sally" to always log in from London?  For that, Virtual Profiles are your friend.  This feature is also good if your application will not allow the same user to be logged in from more than one location.  Just be sure you have a unique profile for each agent location your script will run.

By the way, a profile can be deployed to more than one location (Bob can log in from Hong Kong and Seattle), but a location can only have one profile assigned to it.  The assignment of profiles to agents is handled in the Keynote Service Center, not your script.

Have a look at the graphical example of using Virtual Profiles that Karthik Chandramohan posted in the thread, Multiple Validation Required Text

Is this possible? If so, how would such a thing be done?

Thanks,

When I recorded the script (TXP script), Input file element has Use file 'Generated' in script properties editor. Is it possible to use 'Custom' option here while recording the script?

This script was used to show the performance gained by hosting images on a CDN.  ApP's scripting features let the test be done without any changes to the production website.  The "mydomain.com" and "myotherdomain.com" represent the production web site and an alternate site hosting just the images from the first web site. 

This script parses the first website's HTML, pulls out a list of images into an array, ensuring no duplicates, and then fetches the images from the alternate site instead of the primary site. 

The ApP script that contains this Advanced Script has been confgured to not download images, so the only images downloaded are the ones called by the code below.

I'm uploading this here mostly so you can see the syntax and flow of an ApP Advanced Scripting script, not because I think you'll want to use this exact logic or solve this same problem.

The Scripter.Logging=1 command and subsequent Scripter.Log commands cause debug information to be written to the KITE console during testing.  You would probably disable this when pushing to production.

I want to know if we can display all download elements "HTTP Headers' Response status" (Like HTTP/1.1 200 OK) in KITE's Transaction Performance Details.

I try to select "Status Code and Error Code" columns in KITE's Transaction Performance Details. In Status Code column, I found all "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" elements were not displayed.  Do all others status display in "Status Code"?

I want to check "404" error on element download status. Do I see it in "Status Code" and "Error Code"?

I've added a javascript completion event to a script as follows:-

<completion>
<window index="0" type="DOM">
<event type="Script" name="JavaScript" timeout="2" frame="0">
<code>
<parameter name="Code">
<variable type="Static">
<![CDATA[
{var kite = document.getElementById("kite");
                              if(kite){
                                 window.external.ImmediateCompletion();
                              }}

]]>
</variable>
</parameter>
</code>
</event>
</window>
</completion>

This script waits for a dom node with id="kite" to be present then fires the completion event.

If I set the timeout on the event node to anything less than 2, the completion event never fires.

Why is this?

Also, does this mean that I can only ever measure the performance of a web page using this method to a maximum accuracy of 2 seconds? So any improvement in page performance which gives a gain of less than 2 seconds will be undetectable with keynote?

I really want the script to complete immediately when the "kite" node gets added to the page. I'd rather not wait for an arbitrary period of up to 2 seconds after the node's been added before keynote gets around to firing the completion event.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Stuart

I'm trying hard in vain to get keynote DOM addElement completion events working.

Please see attached a zip containing an extremely simple webpage and the associated kite script.

What I'm trying to do is to trigger a completion event when a div node with an id of "kite" gets added to the page. This sounds like it should be fairly easy to achieve with DOM addElement completion events.

When I run this script agaist the attached web page, the completion event fires as soon as the cycle period (5 seconds) elapses, whether the "kite" div is present or not. I must be doing something wrong but I'm finding the lack of documentation or examples frustrating.

Hope you can be of some help.

Many thanks,

Stuart

In a similar vein, if I'm using MS Silverlight and there are 4 videos in one screen, how do I select a single video, go to full-screen mode, and then back to the 4 in 1 mode? 

I have tried "REMAP ERROS" in the Settings:

Start = -90500

End = -90500

New = 0

But this seems to not work. How does "Remap Errors" work?

I am new to KITE.I went through the demo and i tried to record the gmail or yahoomail website.But I am not able to record these websites since the recording windows says not able to open the mentioned website.

Then, I went through the demo for recording an application with AJAX.The demo showed the recording of mail.aol.com.I tried recording that and this also fails.

But some websites like wikipedia,easyui are opening.Any particular reason??

The attached PDF explains the various completion event choices and includes screenshots of KITE's script properties editor for each.

The following completion event types are discussed here:

• Browser
• Browser completion event with additional conditions
• DOM
• HTTP Messages
• Timer

Note: to download this or any other attachment here, you need to log in.  Just use your KITE login and password.  No need to create a new account!

This is a silly question but the only way i'm going to find out the answer is to ask it.

What is a Download cycle?

Is it the time a page takes to load from first request to the firing of the window.onload event?

Also, i want to determine when a page containing 7 iframes is fully loaded. To do this would I check for 7 download cycles as a completion event?

Thanks,

Stuart

How to count every elements download time using KITE v1.0 or v2.0?

Like KITE, under "Transaction Performance Detail" -> "Select Columns":

Action

Detail

Content type Icon

Object from cache

offset

............

Request Verb

what's means for these parameters?

Please kindly help on this.

In the KITE events tab - this is what I am looking for

Type                               Info   
document complete        http://dte-filenet1/idmws/DocView.asp?id=6205006&Library=DefaultIMS:FNPS:FileNet

I figure it is under Brower=>document - but stuck on where to go from here.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

I get an error either "we can't find / on www.site.com", or i get the browser trying to download the homepage instead of browsing to it.

I am running the latest IE8 release candidate. Any thoughts on why this is an issue?

When I use Record IE Script and input the URL, digest authentication dialog does not appear and 401 error as a result. How can I use digest authentication?

I am working on a method to document each KITE script into a nice looking  HTML document for our internal Wiki. 

My first choice is to use a utlity such as ANT to parse the XML out into a formatted html document. I am trying to create a build file for ANT and would appreciate any assistance.

I am looking for a way to monitor file download with KITE the URL I try to get is a file download and can't be rendered in the browser.

What I get back is just a blank recording browser, no download dialog for save , open or cancel.

How should i solve this problem?

For example:

navigate to www.google.com

        certain Ad appears or text in the page

        click Ad

else

      no Ad in page or text matched

      click in search box, enter text and submit

Is this possible with TXP ?

Once I log into Siebel, I can past the following URL:

javascript:alert(theApplication().GetProfileAttr("Me.First Name"));

And I get a popup the the user name in the test. (i.e. Joe User)

What I need is to do a Keynote validation for the function theApplication().GetProfileAttr("Me.First Name") against what I expect it to be (i.e. Joe User).

How exactl can this be accomplished?

Thanks

Dear all,

I want to know what’s the condition for us to add another script in the keynote website? Whether we can add another script to mykeynote and change it links by ourselves?

Thnaks,

Andrew

It does not, I just get a small number of milliseconds. My question is - why? And how can I edit the script so that it detects the Javascript that is executing on this page. Here's the HTML:

---snip---

<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
// www.sean.co.uk

function pausecomp(millis)
{
var date = new Date();
var curDate = null;

do { curDate = new Date(); }
while(curDate-date < millis);
}

document.write("<h1>Wait for 5 seconds...</h1>");
pausecomp(5000);
document.write("<h1>Done</h1>");
</script>

</body>
</html>

---snip---

Is there a special way I need to record our web application to handle these popup windows?

We encountered some wired situation. When I used the KITE to test our website. After record the script and run it, I select "select column" --> "object from cache". Most of the elemnts from cache didn't have content size, but I found that a elemnt from cache had content size. Does this elemnt really download the content size?  When I used the IE 7 had this problem. But IE6 didn't have this problem. Please kindly help on this if you know something.

Thanks

Andrew

Is there a way to get KITE to navigate through a Flash file or to wait until the swf has downloaded?

I wonder if anyone in this community has any tip/tricks for monitoring Siebel apps, whether it is entered in from either websphere or directly from an agent.

For instance, I have noticed in recrding that inside the Siebel user interface, clicking on the "File" menu item generates a step in the KITE recorder, but the actual "file" menu itself does not drop down. I going to ask my Siebel SME's to see if they can put a "logout" button on the desktop -but I am curious why the drop down menu does not work.

However, once in Siebel, I cannot make the File meny drop down to work. An alternative is to use the keystroke ctrl-shift-x.

How do I add this keystroke to a script?

Thanks

Chris Scott

whether or not the KITE v1.0 or KITE v2.0 has the function that can count website download time?  Like the firebug net function. If you know about it, please kindly help me.

Thanks

Andrew
