Recording a Script

You can use the ATG Recording Servlet facility as an aid in constructing a test script. This is particularly helpful in tests of form submission (such as requests with the POST method) because the script must supply the data for the form. Follow these steps to record a test script:

  1. Open the /atg/dynamo/servlet/pipeline/RecordingServlet component in the ACC.

  2. If the RecordingServlet component is not running, start it by clicking the Start button.

  3. Change the live value of the recording property to true.

  4. Perform the actions you wish to record (for example, page requests and submitting forms).

  5. Change the live value of the recording property to false.

  6. Copy the <ATG9dir>/home/logs/record.log file to another filename to save its contents.

You can also use the Recording Servlet with the Dynamo Administration UI:

  1. Browse the Recording Servlet in the Dynamo Administration UI:

    http://hostname:port/dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/dynamo/servlet/pipeline/
    RecordingServlet

  2. Click the name of the recording property.

  3. Set the value to true and click the Change Value button.

  4. Perform the actions you wish to record (for example, page requests and submitting forms).

  5. Return to the Recording Servlet page in the Dynamo Administration UI.

  6. Click the name of the recording property.

  7. Set the recording value to false and click the Change Value button.

  8. Copy the <ATG9dir>/home/logs/record.log file to another filename to save its contents.
