I need a solution
Hey ppl,
I am usign Silk Performer Tool for Load testing my web application.
I have recorded a script with Java over HTTP protocol having two application profiles, one with IE and other with a custom application named Web-retrieve which is developed in Java script and invoking call from the application is VB call. At one point IE interacts with the custom application via a thick client (.exe) that communicates with a server and fetches user info. I select the details and then the control is reverted to IE.
My script had the following code under the custom application interaction part :
MeasureStart("Clk_OpenSigcap");
// Webpage is using the same encoding as your selected Windows System Codepage
SetEncoding("WINDOWS-1256");
WebSetBrowser(WEB_BROWSER_MSIE7);
WebModifyHttpHeader("Accept-Language", "en-US");

// 2
WebPageDeleteContext(hWebStoredCtx_Search_Signatories_0323248);
WebPageLink("strDlgUrl", "WebRetrieve");
WebPageBack();
WebPageLink("strDlgUrl", "WebRetrieve (#1)");
MeasureStop("Select_Sign");
ThinkTime(17.0);
MeasureStart("Clk_Ok");
WebPageBack();
WebPageLink("Javascript Redirection in page Transaction Status", "Transaction Ended...", 5);
MeasureStop("Clk_Ok");
MeasureStop("Clk_OpenSigcap");
When I re-record the application in the same manner again, the custom application part alone, which I have mentioned above is not getting recorded. The only change that was made after that was, Symantec EndPoint URL weekly update. The script which was recorded successfully is replaying successfully even now.
I have read in some blogs that certain Anti-virus Softwares block third party .exe interaction and prevent tehm from loading.
Is this something related to the Symantec Update? Since I am not aware of the other background incidents happening I just wanted to confirm on this front. Kindly help me out of this issue. My Symantec Verssion is 11.0.6005.562.
