Handle correlations in Load runner and use them in JMeter

Question

I am trying to record SAP scripts in Load Runner and correlate the business flows. I want to convert the script to JMX to be used in JMeter.

My query is will this be a good option to go forward with running SAP business flow testing using JMeter? As the company won't spend money on Load runner enterprise version.

Secondly, if I convert the already correlated script in Load runner to JMeter will the script be auto correlated ? Or do i have to do the correlation back again?

NOTE: For the above point I have gone through one of the posts in Stackoverflow where they have mentioned how to convert the script from Load runner to JMeter.

Quick Response is much appreciated.

Answer 1

First of all, SAP is a company which produces a lot of applications and these applications rely on different network protocols so you need to ensure that the protocol(s) in scope is (are) supported by JMeter which might not be the case especially when it comes to SAP GUI

For "normal" HTTP protocol it's not a problem to convert LoadRunner scripts into JMeter using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder but you will have to perform correlation yourself. Alternative options are:

• Use JMeter Correlation Recorder Plugin where you can define correlation rules and they will be applied to downstream HTTP Request samplers
• Use external recording solution like BlazeMeter Proxy Recorder which is capable of exporting recorded scripts in "SmartJMX" mode with automated detection and correlation of the dynamic parameters
