Is there a MQ plugin that could be leveraged in PC for Load Testing?
| ♥ 0 |
We’ve been approached to perform Message Broker load testing and wanted to see if there was a plugin that could be leveraged in PC 11.50. The goal would be to inject the load from the FTE perspective.

The MQ client needs to be installed on the VuGen machine. There is no way to send MQ calls to the server directly. Once the client is installed, Vugen can record MQ calls against that client. However, this recording solution requires an add-in called MQ tester on the Vugen machine which will provide a new Vuser type called MQ Vuser. This MQ Tester solution supports on IBM MQ and no other MQ protocols are supported. After the script is created,is a special license to run multi-Vusers in the Controller? HP has provided the following information. How to work with MQ Series protocol in Vugen / LoadRunner 11.5x and what are the various components and pre-requisite software's to work with this protocol? 1. Install WebSphere MQ version 5.3 or higher (this can be downloaded from internet) scripting), load generator based component (just for the sake of running MQ Tests on a standalone LG) or a full install (which includes both VuGen and LG components. Example: like on a full LoadRunner setup). To choose the VuGen-only option, choose custom type Also attached to this case is the MQ Tester document that explains the various pre-requisites for installation modes and the LRMQ API involved with these 2 protocol. This comes handy when working with these protocols and developing MQ Series scripts. PS: Also note that MQ Tester is supported only on Windows for LoadRunner. MQ Tester Unix setup instructions mentioned in the attached documentare obsolete and that section is not relevant for LR 11.5x. Marked as spam
