How to reuse Rational Performance test against different URLs
How do you make a Rational Performance Tester (RPT) HTTP test that can do requests to different URLs?
I want to reuse my script. Generally, a test recorded against an ibm page would not run correctly against a microsoft page. The reason is that RPT tests capture all the requests that a browser sent to a site. The requests at these two sites are certainly substantially different.
EXAMPLE
If you recorded your own Web site hosted on server1 and then at some point moved this site to server2, you could adjust the test to account for the changed server.
In older RPT versions like 8.2.1.5, the server name is specified in the Test Variables > Server Connections. Change the string in the Server Connection host, the requests will connect to the new host. You see the host header in the requests with the new host name.
