Could someone please advise how to do testing with more than 5 users ? 

We are getting parallel session limit exceeded error.


Hi,

I see you double posted this in both the older tool and this, which tool are you using?

IF, you are using the Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability Tools, which authentication type are you using JWT or Header?

the max parallel sessions of 5 is when you are using user access type and are simulating either fast enough (very short scenarios or forgotten to put think times) or many enough in parallel with a short userlist. You can read about token allocation here .

My first assumption is that whichever authentication type you use (header or JWT) has not been configured to use the generated user names.

If you use e.g. static header auth, you will need to configure a header to be sent such as

 

"connectionSettings": {
		"server": "your-server-hostname",
		"mode": "ws",
		"security": true,
		"virtualproxy": "yourvirtualproxy",
		"headers": {
			"X-Qlik-User-header": "{{.UserName}}"
		}
	},

 

  where {{.UserName}} will automatically insert usernames according to your settings for user name generation. And X-Qlik-User-header is the header name you configured in the proxy.

My problem is on the Qliksense scalabilty tools Analyzer app..

The analyzer app needs a Gophericer log file (the TSV file that I can find thanks to your message) and it also needs an SDKExercier scenario log file (*_scenario txt file, that I can't find anywhere...).

 


The the SDKExerciser log is only needed if you want to analyze results from the older QSST tools, for QSEST tools only the tsv configured in path is needed. Be aware these to logs have different formats and go into different folders for the analyzer.

Hello 

Yeah sorry for double post, 
I have this problem only in new tool. I am using header auth, but it looks like it is not working as expected - no users are created in Qlik , no license consumption. 

In old tool everything is running as should.

The new tool is a lot more configurable, which makes it slightly less automated to use.

Is it dynamic or static header auth?
Are you using the GUI or changing script directly?

Since you are getting errors on exceeding token usage for a user there's definitely consumption, but sound like not for the users you want. This points towards the probable issues I listed above. Most likely one being the header not being added correctly.  If it's static header auth, is it added as per above in the example?

and user generation

Could you advise how to set this in gui ?

your header value is set to "test" which means all iterations and parallel executions will simulate the user "test" not the ones from user generation.

once again are you using static or dynamic header auth?

if it is static then the value should be {{.UserName}} , exactly like that. then it will use variable from the user name generation you have configured.

if it is dynamic it depends on what pattern you are using, if the pattern is e.g. directory@username  then the value should be {{.Directory}}@{{.UserName}}

Filling the "User directory" field is only necessary if the {{.Directory}} variable is used. If it's static header auth the directory defined in the virtual proxy is used.

Thanks Daniel, 

It is confusing in documentation , as here for static directory Header value is exact value of directory. 
Maybe Qlik could change this , and make it more understandable.

Ah I  understand your confusion. That could definitely be improved. I will create an issue on it. So the "Header name" should be exactly as in proxy, but the value arrow there is just incorrect.

Thank you for your help.

It is working fine both with QSST and QSEST.

With QSST, the scenario result file (txt) goes in the "Exercicer" folder of the Datalib specified path.

With QSEST, the scenario result file (tsv) goes in the "Gopherciser" folder of the Datalib specified path.

Hi Guys,

I am new to the scalability tool but I am trying to establish a connection from the Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability tool using a virtual proxy with header authentication. I followed the user manual to setup the connection, Scenario and User tabs in QSEoW app and got the 'Connection Successful' message in the Connection tab, but when I load and try to execute the file I get the following issue:

  • While executing, I am getting an error:
    • 1 error occurred:
      Unexpected status code: 500 Internal Server Error (get https://<HostName>/<Virtual Proxy prefix>/api/hub/v1/apps/favorites): unexpected response status code<500> expected<[200]>
  • The same error pops us even while trying to connect and populate App Structure

Troubleshooting:

My Findings:

  • Removing the 'api' (i.e., https://<HostName>/<Virtual Proxy prefix>/hub/v1/apps/favorites ) from the URL helped me access the link and even look at the apps I published/want to simulate in Qlik Sense Enterprise

I'm not sure if the 'api' in the link is causing this issue, if yes, could you let me know how to remove the api from the URL or if there is something else that I'm missing. It would be great if you guys could help me out.

Thanks in advance😁
