Load testing Alfresco using JMeter

poptarts

Hi all, I've successfully load tested Alfresco using JMeter to browse various nodes and log in hundreds of users.

My question: is it possible to use JMeter to initiate a workflow? I've tried using JMeter's proxy to load test the above case, but JMeter cannot replicate the process when it involves load testing a workflow wizard.

Has anyone done workflow wizards, or any wizards using JMeter yet? Any successes? Failures?

Hi,

I am not sure anyone has tried using Jmeter with workflows yet.
I'll ask around and post back if anyone has.

Thanks Steve. JMeter seems to get confused when doing anything involving Dialogs, such as executing a Simple Workflow or even when uploading a file.

Uploading a file works sometimes in that JMeter doesn't get a 500 Server Error, but the file itself does not appear in the space.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, I'm currently building a JMeter script to Login, Upload content, Delete content, and Logout.
I'm getting a 500 http error when trying to delete a file from alfresco. I built the script based on the proxy captured requests; but it seems something is wrong or missing.

the Delete request are:

Hi,

There are some issues with your jmeter code.

1. Leave ref field empty.
2. Provide valid value for delete_file_browseid_${deleteFileBrowseID} - in your code given above ${deleteFileBrowseID} is empty.
You should extract it from the preceding request.
If you use any regular expression extractor - ensure that it work correctly.

POST http://localhost:8080/faces/jsp/wcm/browse-sandbox.jsp

Edgar,

What version of Alfresco are you trying to use jmeter on?

Thanks,

Steve

edgar_torres

Hi,
It's Alfresco version 2.2

I also have tried to re-run the jmeter proxy captured requests but still getting the error 500, something else should be missing.. =S

Regards,

steve

Hi Edgar,

I have emailed you a sample working script that works for what you are trying to perform, hopefully it will give you some help in getting yours working.

Regards,

Steve

emailed.

I managed to do a junit meter simple login test : login, browse and logout.
But when I attempt to open a dialog through a request with jmeter, I have this NullPointerException quoted in this topic too.
Can you email me your script please. I need to test dialogs response time.

steve

Hi,

You can download the sample jmeter script from here: Jmeter_example.zip

Steve

zomurn

OK that's really good !

Thanks you very much for your reply !!

zomurn

Hi,

I tried your example and rely on it. All my tests passed successfully.
But I still don't manage to open "virtually throught request" a dialog.
I know that because, inside my logs, the init() method of the dialog bean (instantiated by spring) is not called : logs doesn't appear in file.

Can you tell me the right request to send through JMETER ?

Below the post data with JMETER request :

POST data:
dialog:search:_option=0&dialog:search=&dialog:traiter_button_id=Traiter&dialog_SUBMIT=1&id=&dialog:act=dialog:dialog-body:traiter_button_id&dialog:sidebar-body:navigator=&dialog:_link_hidden_=&dialog:_idcl=&dialog:_idJsp7=&dialog:modelist=&javax.faces.ViewState=rO0ABXVyABNbTGphdmEubGFuZy5PYmplY3Q7kM5YnxBzKWwCAAB4cAAAAAN0AAExcHQAGC9qc3AvZXh0ZW5zaW9uL2xvZ2luLmpzcA==

Thanks you very much.

nobody ?
