SAP BUSINESS OBJECTS PERFORMANCE TESTING

Requirements: The client wants to know
The response times of multiple BO Reports for each security group.
Want to see response time of each report for every security group. The name of the security group should appear on each Transaction Name.
Quantity of the reports are in around 70-100 and security groups are around 6-9

Design:
In this case the script should be designed in a efficient way by considering following standards 
Naming Convention. 
Create a single script by consolidating mutliple scripts and writing functions. This makes script manitenance easy. 
Apply inheritance - Write functions and use them in the script in multiple areas where ever required. In this way we can minimize script lenghth. 
We see more dynamic data in these kind of applications identify and apply correlations in efficient way. 
Precausion should be taked while creating Parameter file and while calling the parameters 

Below example shows how a Load runner script is developped for SAP BO reports.

It concatinates the security group name(Utype) of the each user in the parameter file along with the transaction Name.




In SAP BI, There might be some prerequisite you should consider before running a script. below are some I had to do. 



The users are differentiated by passing a new parameter value, "User type"

The script executes 5 iterations. During each iteration it randomly picks one report and executes
