    Hi,

     

    Users of my e2e_conv 'probe' have asked me to make it publicly available, so here it is. The e2e_conv 'probe' makes it easier to create and maintain e2e_appmon scripts. This thread will also serve as the place to discuss any enhancement requests.

     

    Regards,

    Gijsbert

    Hi,

     

    Please find attached version 1.38 of e2e_conv. It provides the following fixes and enhancements:

     

    • The screen-capture utility returned the wrong device context on Windows 2012 due to erratic behaviour of the Windows API. Fixed.
    • Sometimes the dialog boxes of the screen-capture utility were hidden behind other windows. Fixed.
    • The screen-capture utility also shows the window class and allows you to shorten the window title from the right to remove parts that might change like version numbers and user names before it is written to the .cfg file.
    • If you use the keyword FOCUS for the window title it will dynamically expand to the title of the window with input focus. This is useful in situations where the window class contains elements that might change.

     

    Regards,

    Gijsbert

    Hi,

     

    Please find attached version 1.43 of e2e_conv. It provides the following fixes and enhancements:

     

    • Alarms and QoS’s can now be associated with another source (the website against which the scripts run for example) than the robot that executes the scripts. This can be done by setting the global variable E2E_CONV_ALARM_QOS to 1 and the string variable E2E_CONV_REMOTE$ to the source AFTER the call to Prepare().
    • The QoS’s can now also be sent with the timestamp at which they occurred instead of all at the same time. So ‘login’ will now be shown to have occurred before ‘logoff’ in performance charts (to within 5 seconds). This can be done by setting the global variable E2E_CONV_ALARM_QOS to 1 AFTER the call to Prepare().
    • The alarms and QoS’s will be sent by the e2e_conv probe instead of the e2e_appmon probe if you set E2E_CONV_ALARM_QOS to 1, so you might have to update your reports in that case.

     

    Regards,

    Gijsbert

    Hi,

     

    Please find attached version 1.44 of e2e_conv. It provides the following fixes:

     

    • The 1.43 version of the package specified the wrong location of the e2e_conv-functions.src file. Fixed.
    • If major and minor thresholds were specified the alarms were cleared right away. Fixed.

    Hi,

     

    Please find attached version 1.47 of e2e_conv. It provides the following fixes and enhancements:

     

    • Synchronize did not work if the window title was the empty string. Fixed.
    • e2e_conv logged a critical alarm to the console that should only be written to the log-file. Fixed.
    • Improved handling of window instances. The instance number is not uniquely defined as it depends on the order in which applications and windows are launched. Normally this is not an issue as only one instance of the application and window is running. Some recent scenario’s required better handling of dynamic instance numbers however. e2e_conv first checks for instance number 1 for backward compatibility. If it cannot find the window it will check for instances 9 down to 1 (so recent instances first). If it can find the instance, say number 4, it will cache it, so the next time the script runs it will first check for instance number 4. It will check again for instances 9 down to 1 if it cannot find it etc.
    • Added the function CheckSynchronize. Synchronize will always abort the script if it cannot find the bitmap, CheckSynchronize will return an error code <> 0 if it cannot find the bitmap to support If/Then/Else type of scenario’s.

    Am I missing something, the zip files needs a password.  I do not see that referenced anywhere?

    Hi,

     

    The zip file is a probe package (which are password-protected). You have to check it into the Archive to see the contents.
