This could be caused by VuGen’s recording mechanism not being able to connect to the application’s server. Network connection errors can be seen in the Recording Log:
[Net An. Warning (1068:197c)] Request Connection: Remote Server @ 123.123.123.123 - 5222 (Service=) Failed attempt #1. Unable to connect to remote server: rc = -1 , le = 10060) [Net An. Warning (1068:197c)] Request Connection: Remote Server @ 123.123.123.123 - 5222 (Service=) Failed attempt #2. Unable to connect to remote server: rc = -1 , le = 10060)
Note: the Recording log is in the ‘Output’ pane. Make sure ‘Recording’ is selected in the combo-box on the left:
In order to fix this problem, the Port mapping for the specific IP and port should be added to the Port Mapping dialog (under the Record > Recording Options… menu), and the entry should be unchecked. That will ensure that the above IP and port are not recorded – that application simply connects to them without any LoadRunner involvement. For the messages above the correct setting would be:
This workaround can be done in case the communication to 123.123.123.123:5222 is not important for the business process and can be omitted. If that’s not the case, the same entry should still be added, but left as checked. That will ensure correct traffic capture to this address.
