Hi Vikas,
let’s see if I understood you question correctly. You’re not working with IT and plan to take a course on Oracle EBS (Finance) and want to know how this can help your career.
I’m not an expert on your field of work, but one thing I always advise people is to first make a plan (Short Term, Long Term) with your career objectives and then drill down to specific goals and then actions, like courses.
Assuming you want to continue on your work field, but get a position on another company, the first thing I would do is to check the requirements on similar positions. If you already done that and noticed that Oracle is one of the requirements, I would check which modules are the most important and then get a course to have a better change of getting the position.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Pooja,
Always I have to give training to someone new to LoadRunner, I prefer starting with the basics, Web protocol, Google Searches, LR Tutorial, etc. If you’re learning on your own, I think the best approach would be starting with the tutorial that comes with LoadRunner. It covers all basic skills and also comes with its own web server and step by step guide.
Oracle scripts are not difficult, but since you have to set some parameters and do some basic correlation, I believe starting with the LR tutorial would be the best option.
To start scripting oracle apps you just have to create a new script, multi-protocol, web and oracle NCA and record the desired steps. After that you can just follow the correlations present on this post.

Hi all,

I am pooja, QA Tester. I am intrested in Load runner, so i gained some knowledge on it by browsing and reading some PDF’s online. since i am novice to this technology, can i handle LR with oracle 11i protocol. If yes, give the steps needed right from the scratch. I am ready to work thoroughly to gain knowledge and expertise in it.

Does it work when you’re not recording with LR??
If its working when you’re not recording, probably it is an issue between the ActiveX plugin and the LR recoding module. You can try a couple things if that’s the case:
Recording it with another browser. This already happened with me. IE was crashing when recording and I had to record the script with Firefox, which uses a different plugin.
If that doesn’t help, you can try changing the recoding mode to a lower level, like HTTP/HTML in URL mode (Options > Recording > URL-based Script)

Thanks Martin I was able to record the oracle 11i but facing another issue. Oracle form is linked to 170 Markview solution. When I click on the oracle form, it opens a url which inturn download a plugin(activex plugin) for markview. while recording its starts downloading but do not open the markview page. Instead it gives error on browser stating object does not support property or method. This happens if I have tried to open it first time on a system. So if this plugin is already installed and then if I try to record it give an error stating that ” not able to open configuration file of plugin”

Since we’re talking about Oracle Apps, my guess would be always remove any Java installs and also the current JInitiator and then try again. I can say that about 90 of the strange issue I had recording Oracle apps had something to do with the Java version and JInitiator. Try removing both and start fresh.
Alos, does it work when LR is not recording?? I already faced a similar issue with an application where LR was interfering with a ActiveX control installed on the browser. If that’s the case, it could be interesting removing some unused ActiveX controls from IE6.

I am using LR 9.10 / Jinitiator 1.3.1.25 / Oracle 11i .But during recording IE crashes once I click on the link which opens the oracle forms. What happens in application is that when I click on that link it initiate downloading of some jar files and Jinitiator1.1.1.25, then it opens oracle form and also one another page which says applet started and message stating that ” closing this window will cause oracle based application to close immediately”. So while recording when I click on the link to open oracle form, IE(V 6.0) crashes and I am not able to record .

Hi Gaby,
what is the Oracle version? 11 or 12? I had some issues with 12, some additional parameters are needed.
Also, in some cases, the port number returned by the Oracle server is wrong and I had to manually change it, ignoring the correlation and using a pre-defined parameter.
Please let me know it this helps, otherwise I could check the code.

Rgds,
Martin
