Setting Database Recording Options

  1. In Silk Performer, expand the Profiles node in the Project tree.
  2. Right-click the profile that you want to configure and choose Edit Profile.
    Tip: Alternatively, you can choose Settings > Active Profile from the menu bar.

    The Profile - [<profile name>] dialog box opens, and the Replay category is displayed in the shortcut list on the left.

  3. In the shortcut list on the left, click the Record button. The Record category is displayed.
  4. In the shortcut list, click the Database icon.
  5. Click the Recording tab.
  6. In the Oracle OCI area, click the Generate random input for long placeholders option button to replace large amounts of data exchanged between the client application and the database server with random data. Because original data is rarely required for replay, this option helps to prevent large data files from being carried along with test scripts.
  7. Click the Generate files for long placeholders option button to store large amounts of data exchanged between the client application and the database server in a file. During replay, the file is used to send exactly the same data to the database server that is sent to the client application.
  8. Click OK to save your changes.
