In our hyperion application, we have a explore button. Here is its post:

web_submit_data("explorer", //FIXME: id vlaue parameter
    "Action=https://{host_url}/raframework/browse/explorer", 
    "Method=POST", 
    "TargetFrame=", 
    "RecContentType=application/x-json", 
    "Referer=https://{host_url}/workspace/index.jsp?framed=true", 
    "Snapshot=t19.inf", 
    "Mode=HTML",
    ITEMDATA, 
    "Name=class", "Value=com.hyperion.tools.cds.explorer.ExplorerView", ENDITEM, 
    "Name=id", "Value=EV1390418511260", ENDITEM, //"Name=id", "Value=EV1389926310921", ENDITEM, 

    LAST);

This EV1390418511260 is from 

this._rstExplorerViewId = "EV" + (new Date()).getTime();

from the loaded module.js file I guess, which is Unix time stamp

I tried lr_save_timestamp("timestamp", LAST ); to correlate value of id with Unix time stamp. like Value=EV{timestamp}. The request is being posted but the response body has

Content-Length: 0 
X-ORACLE-BPMUI-CSRF: false

I want to try 

typedef long time_t;
time_t t;

and correlate something like Value=EV{time(&t)} but here it converts to url encode and takes ascii values of those special chars.

What should I do?

Why are you using C code to replace the functionality of built in capability to LoadRunner?

See web_save_timestamp_param() for the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970.

web_save_timestamp_param("tStamp", LAST );

web_submit_data("explorer", 
...
ITEMDATA, 
"Name=class", "Value=com.hyperion.tools.cds.explorer.ExplorerView", ENDITEM, 
"Name=id", "Value=EV{tStamp}", ENDITEM, 
LAST);

if this is your first trip into the Hyperion universe I would heartily suggest you find the most experienced LoadRunner professional available anywhere in the nation to support your efforts. You do not need to be struggling with tool use while at the same time working in one of the more difficult environments for any performance testing tool. Assuming you get someone who has been succesful with Hyperion recently, no matter what your organization spends (even as high as $300 per hour or more) it will be money well spent versus struggling with both tool mechanics and testing of the environment

  • yes this is the first time I am doing hyperion. I have used `lr_save_timestamp` which is same as `web_save_timestamp_param`. I tried as you suggested too but I get this below response which is same as before and server is not accepting it or returning anything. `HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:12:14 GMT Server: Oracle-Application-Server-11g Content-Length: 0 X-ORACLE-BPMUI-CSRF: false X-ORACLE-DMS-ECID: 00iJmmnLUkQ66Uw5oFL6iY0000zK000F7m X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5 JSP/2.1 Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain Content-Language: en` – cnu Jan 22 '14 at 22:13
  • Do you mean lr_save_datetime()? lr_save_timestamp shows as an unresolved symbol on my system – James Pulley Jan 23 '14 at 03:53
  • Here it is in LR help, `Utility Functions and C Language Reference > Utility Functions: C Language (lr) > Alphabetical Listing > lr_save_timestamp` and `lr_save_timestamp("timestmp", LAST );` which saves the current timestamp to a parameter in Unix format **LR11.52** – cnu Jan 23 '14 at 18:36
  • It looks like they took the web item and simply made it available in the general library for all virtual user types. In either case, unless you are explicitly checking for expected results on every step then the odds are near certainty that the issue is with a request earlier than the one you are having issues with. If you simply accept an HTTP 200 and continue (or have continue on error without error handling code) then you likely have an out of context request which is throwing a catastrophic error – James Pulley Jan 23 '14 at 19:44
  • Thank you, I figured that, header was carrying some other additional tokens like asserttoken and other oracle tokens. I have correlated them. Now fiddling with folder and file structure. I assume, you must be Hyperion-loadrunner guy, do you mind sharing your code snippets to handle folder and file structure of hyperion...? appreciate.. – cnu Jan 24 '14 at 00:04
