Customizing User Groups

  1. Open and activate the BDF script you want to customize
  2. Select Script > Customize User Groups from the Silk Performer menu bar. The Customize User Groups dialog appears.
  3. Right-click a user group or transaction node to open a context menu that lists the available operations:
    • Add a new user group
    • Copy a user group
    • Rename a user group
    • Delete a user group
    • Insert a transaction
    • Copy a transaction
    • Rename a transaction
    • Remove a transaction
    Transactions can be added and removed for each user group. The transaction renaming process renames transactions in all user groups to which they have been assigned.
  4. Select the desired action from the context menu and follow the prompts
  5. Begin and End transactions can be defined for each user group by selecting/deselecting the check boxes in the Begin/End column.
  6. Entries in the Count column, which represent the number of times that transactions are to be called, can be edited directly by clicking them.
  7. When the Choose transactions randomly check box is selected and a user group contains at least two transactions that are neither "begin" transactions nor "end" transactions, the Random Order column shows how the transaction distribution will be weighted, by percentage. For example, if two non-begin and non-end transactions are present, each transaction will have a random order distribution of 50%. If three non-begin and non-end transactions are present, the transactions will have random order distributions of 33%, 33%, and 34%.
  8. Click OK when you’ve completed user group and transaction customization.
The modified data is written to the dcluser section (and dcltrans section if necessary) of your test script.
