Requested form not found in web_submit_form

[former_member203322]

Hello

I'm new to Loadrunner and installed the 11.5 version and was trying to record a sap portal transaction..however I'm getting the following error in module web_submit_form when using the controller

Error -27979: Requested form not found

I recorded the script and performed the correlation and can successfully replay the script in vugen, but it always fails in controller...I'm just trying with 10 virtual users so it cannot be a resource bottleneck in the portal...

if I switch to URL recording everything wents fine but as far as I understood the HTTP based recording should be preferred.

Thanks and best regards

Michele

Hi Michele,

You should determine if it is a server error or a scripting problem

These errors indicate that the link/form that is supposed to be executed is not found on the current webpage. The cause could be one of the following:

Scripting Problem

You can identify this by running your Vuser with the extended log turned on in VuGen for at least two iterations. Then, review the log file and try to identify the cause of error. Very often this is caused by dynamic values in the script.

HTML Recording Mode Problem

If your site contains JavaScript, in the source, check if there are any nested pairs of <SCRIPT>...</SCRIPT> (e.g., from a document.write statement) within the <SCRIPT>...</SCRIPT> for the JavaScript. If so, switch to HTTP mode recording.

Server Problem

If your server could return different pages for a request, make sure that you include the logic in the script. If you can detect the behavior as to why your server would send a different page, it is best to get the help of your administrator for further diagnosis.

Monitor the servers on the back end (including the Web, database, and application servers) for any unusual behavior. A typical error returned to a Web client might be a 500 Internal Server Error. The specific reason for this is not obvious based on the message, it simply indicates that somethingwent wrong when trying to process the request by the client. Rerun the test as necessary to pinpoint the issue.
