Jmeter :Balzemeter: RTE recorder: Getting Invalid Option

[rafeekabid]

Hi Team,
I’m new to mainframe automation. I am using below opensource tools. If I connected manual session via emulator and able to login and move around application using all the keys option.
Same I tried Jmeter – Blazemeter RTE recorded : I am able to login successfully but unable to move inside menu. If I press opetion “1”, or “2” or “X” , its throwing “INVALID OPTION”

• Mainframe: Hercules (open source). And application is TSO Application.
• Plugin : Jmeter - Blazemeter/RTEPlugin

1. Which protocol are you using?-TN3270
2. Which terminal type are you using? - IBM3278-M3-E: 32*80 and tried all set of terminal type from attached screenshots.
3. Does your Mainframe Application support that terminal type? - Yes. Its working fine in manual connection. Only issue when connect via Jmeter-RTE recorder.
4. Could you provide the full error that you got on the JMeter logs? – Its throwing only “INVALID OPTION”

Hello @rafeekabid,

Thanks for taking the time to reach us out. This is the first time someone has reached us with Hercules.

It would be pretty useful for us if you could provide both the dump file from your interaction using the emulator and the dump file from your interaction using the Plugin, this way we can see what is the emulator sending when you perform each action and what are we doing instead.

It is possible for you to generate and send such files?

If you prefer, you can reach me out at [email protected] so that information stays with our development team at Perforce.

Let me know what you think,

Kind regards

Hi @RicardoPoleo ,
Thank you for your response!
As requested, I have attached dump files. There are 3 files.

1. I have connected Hercules via wc3270 emulator and capture all logs.
2. remaining two files connected via Jmeter Blaze meter and captured head dump and thread dump. Since im new to this. Guide me if need any other dumps and way to capture.
