BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench - Micro Focus

TrueLog Explorer Enhancements
Enhancements have been implemented throughout TrueLog Explorer.
• Create Recording Rules from TrueLog Explorer - Recording rules allow you to configure the Recorder
in a number of ways. Example use cases include session customizations, excluding JPG images from
download while recording Web pages, and excluding Web pop-ups and ads that originate from a specific
URL.
You can also create a new recording rule out of TrueLog Explorer, using the values that you have specified
in a parsing function. For example, creating a recording rule from a session-customization parsing function
allows you to record the application without the need to ever care about session customization again.
• Auto-Sync in TrueLog Explorer Compare Mode - In TrueLog Explorer compare mode you can now
maintain automatic synchronization between corresponding API nodes in replay and record TrueLogs. This
greatly improves your ability to identify script-replay differences and debug script errors.
With auto-sync enabled, when you click an API node in either TrueLog, TrueLog Explorer automatically
selects the API node in the other TrueLog that best correlates with the selected API node.
• Context-Sensitive Exploring of TrueLogs - The replay TrueLog of the most recent Try Script run can be
opened at the corresponding node by right-clicking within the script in BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench's
script editor and choosing Locate In Recent Try Script TrueLog. Additionally, the replay TrueLog
of the current run can be opened at the corresponding node by right-clicking a virtual user output in the
BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench Output pane on the Virtual User page and choosing Locate In
Recent Try Script TrueLog.
• Improved Comparing of Flex/AMF3 TrueLogs - By default, TrueLog Explorer now steps through whole
pages when stepping through Flex/AMF3 TrueLogs in compare mode, rather than stepping through HTML
documents. This greatly improves the efficiency to find the information you are looking for.
SAPGUI Replay Enhancements
With improved BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench SAPGUI replay, BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench recognizes
and reports potential instabilities of the SAPGUI client. The affected VUser process automatically restarts in
the background, reducing failures when problems occur within SAPGUI itself. SAPGUI monitoring is now more
reliable than ever.
SAPGUI support also includes a new SapGuiRestart BDL function.
Windows 7 Support
BMC TM ART Monitor Workbench now runs under Windows 7, both 32bit and 64bit. Additionally, it makes full
use of the Windows 7 new taskbar context menu. Along with the standard functionality to open and close an
application from the taskbar, and to pin the application to the taskbar, you can open recent projects and start
TrueLog Explorer, and the System Configuration Manager directly by right-clicking the BMC TM ART Monitor
Workbench icon on the taskbar and selecting the respective menu item.
New Recording Rules
• Suppress Modification of Server Response Headers - The recorder routinely modifies some
request/response headers of HTTP traffic to ensure best recording results with common browsers. However,
some not so common user agents may misbehave when recorded this way. This rule allows to suppress
the modification of response HTTP headers for all requests, which solves such recording problems.
• Do Not Generate WebPageAddUrl Functions - The No AddUrl rule can be used to suppress the
generation of a WebPageAddUrl function for particular HTTP requests. The recorder will then choose the
next best way to record this request.
