Record > Recording Options > General > Script

This node is available for specific protocols only. In addition, the list of options differs between protocols.

For a complete list of protocols and their associated nodes, see the Protocol compatibility table.

Select the language in which to generate the Vuser script, C or JavaScript. The default is C.

Insert informative logging messages before each message invocation (non-C only).

Default value: enabled.

Automatically closes all of the AUT's (Application Under Test) processes when VuGen stops recording.

Default value: disabled.

Tracks and correlates arrays of all data types, such as string, structures, numbers, and so on.

Default value: enabled.

Correlates long data types such as integers, long integers, 64-bit characters, float, and double.

Default value: disabled.

Correlates simple, non-array strings and phrases.

Default value: disabled.

Correlates short data types such as bytes, characters, and short integers.

Default value: disabled.

Tracks and correlates complex structures.

Default value: enabled.

Declares primitive value variables as local variables rather than class variables (C, C#, and .NET only).

Default value: enabled.

Declares variant types explicitly in order to handle ByRef variants (Visual Basic for Applications only).

Default value: enabled.

Adds a fixed think time, in seconds, after the end of each transaction. When you enable this option, you can specify a value for the think time.

Default value: disabled, 3 seconds when enabled.

Generates a log of all events that took place during recording.

Default value: disabled.

Uses a threshold value for think time. If the recorded think time is less than the threshold, VuGen does not generate a think time statement. You also specify the threshold value.

The default values is 3—if the think time is less than 3 seconds, VuGen does not generate think time statements. If you disable this option, VuGen will not generate any think times.

Default value: enabled, 3 seconds.

Inserts output parameter values after each call (C, C#, and .NET only).

Default value: disabled.

Insert informative logging messages after each message invocation (non-C only).

Default value: enabled.

Create a new file if the number of lines in the action exceeds the specified threshold. The default threshold is 60000 lines (C, C#, and .NET only).

Default value: disabled.

Save strings exceeding the maximum length to a parameter. This option has an initial maximum length of 100 characters. The parameters and the complete strings are stored in the lr_strings.h file in the script's folder in the following format:

const char <paramName_uniqueID> ="string".

This option allows you to have a more readable script. It does not effect the performance of the script.

Default value: enabled.

Reuse the same variables for primitives received from method calls. This overrides the Declare primitives as locals setting.

Default value: enabled.

Track the activity of the recorded application if one of its sub-processes was created as a COM local server (C and COM only).

Default value: enabled.

Use the full type name when declaring a new variable (C# and .NET only).

Default value: disabled.

Use helper functions to extract components in variant arrays (Java and VB Scripting only).

Default value: disabled.

Use helper functions to extract object references from variants when passed as function arguments (Java and VB Scripting only).

Default value: disabled.

Use this option if VuGen is unable to record your application. Your application may block access to VuGen, and recording with this option selected may enable access.
Default value: disabled.

Selecting this option enables VuGen to prompt you to cancel the recording if the recorded application crashes or if no events are recorded for 3 minutes. If you choose to cancel the recording, no script is generated. In proxy mode, if the recorded application crashes, there is no error message. Instead, a no-events error is displayed after 3 minutes.

Default value: enabled.
