LoadRunner soaptests as templates

Question

I want to have my soap request saved as a template on the filesystem and have placeholders that could be replaced by substitutes with the editing of contracts/wsdl's. Does Loadrunner support soap templates?

I do this all the time. I just use a standard web virtual user with a web custom request. I load the file in the init phase of the script to avoid disk I/O on the load generator during the test and then reuse it over and over again for multiple iterations with multiple parameter sets. See the C standard file I/O and memory management routines for loading the file and managing the memory.

In the source request file simply include your parameter markers "{paramname}" in the source file.

Works just fine.

James, could you please provide an example C code used to loading the file? – Magnus Jensen Mar 21 '13 at 17:49
Look at the fopen() and fread() examples in the help file. This should provide the first steps on the path. – James Pulley Mar 21 '13 at 19:40
