Daniel,

after providing the role and token to the exerciser user, i am able to connect to the App and the app structure got updated. User access rule created in the prerequisite is not working .

Thanks

Dinesh

[Daniel_Larsson]

Yes, If you have defined any security rules for the app, the test users also will need a rule which will make them access the app.

I don't know which prerequisites you are referring to, as far as I know there's nothing specifically stating user access, on the opposite, for most people, login access is preferred. Preference is however up to the user, and most optimal depends on the usage and scenario.

Hi All,

I encountered following error message opening the QlikScalabilityTools.exe file.

Qlik Scalability Tool has stopped working.

Please help.

Your Windows has blocked the zip when you downloaded it. Please unblock the zip before unzipping it, as written in the note in the original post. You could also unzip it with 7-zip which would not have the blocking problem.

[socialgeekqv]

Many thanks Daniel. My bad, I assume that if I can unzip the file means it's unblocked.

[Daniel_Larsson]

Unfortunately that's not how Microsoft decided to do it :/. You can unzip the file even if it's blocked, but all files will still be blocked and you won't get a warning about it, just a crash. Causes quite a bit of confusion and they could have done it better imho.

[socialgeekqv]

Thanks Daniel. More question: how do we send the results to QSSTAnalyzer.qvf ?

I could not relate how the setup mentioned in Scalability Results Analyzer relates back to scalability tool. Many thanks!

[Daniel_Larsson]

You need to put the result log from the tool, and the performance counters from the server, into the appropriate folder as described by the Readme in the analyzer. Then create a connector to that folder. Note that also the Qlikview analyzer could be used to analyze sense scalability tests, if you feel more at home with the QlikView analyzer document.

Can we run the regression scenario and regression comparison in batch? e.g. command line?

[SebastianFabian]

Hello Rob!

Yes, there is rudimentary support for running regression comparisons from the command line. If you look in the lib folder of Qlik Scalability Tools you'll find an executable named RegressionAnalyzerConsole.exe. This tool is used behind the scenes when the Analyze button is clicked in the GUI but can also be run stand-alone using two arguments - baseline regression log and comparison regression log.

Say you have run two regression scenarios and produced two log files a.log and b.log that are placed in the root of the tool folder. You could then run the analysis from the command like as such:

lib\RegressionAnalyzerConsole.exe a.log b.log

The tool will output to stdout the same information that's shown in the overview section of the GUI, and additionally save a result.xml in the current working directory. This result file can be opened for detailed inspection in Scalability Tools, by going to Regression Analyzer > Open previous results.
