Divide reply value

oryagel · Post by **oryagel** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 6:54 am

Hi,

I have few tests which I need to reply the value divided by 10.
Div isn't good enough, I want to have 1 number after the decimal point.

I saw I can use:

Code: Select all

[(%SuggestedReply% div 10)].[(%SuggestedReply% mod 10)]

But then the returned value is a string and it doesn't count for the purpose of average calculation.

How can I divide the reply by 10?

Thanks

May be you are using wrong decimeal separator (.)?
What decimal separator is used on your system?

Or may be you are using test that should not work with such numbers?
What test method do you use?
HostMonitor version?

Alex

Thank you.

I'll explain more.
HostMonitor version: 8.72
Test type: "External test"

Lets say I have a utility which return the value 34
I want HostMonitor to reply 3.4 and use 3.4 for the average reply value calculation.

If your system uses "," as decimal separator, you should use Tyne up reply value expression like the following:
[(%SuggestedReply% div 10)],[(%SuggestedReply% mod 10)]

External program cannot return float number as error code, that's why HostMonitor does not expect float number as result of this test method.

Solution: start your program using Shell Script test method instead of External test method.

Thanks

I created a shell script test and it seems to work when I specify the parameters in the script itself.

Code: Select all

D:\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool.exe 0 "D:\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool\dist\WebPerformanceProdReport.txt" f8f58c5b80c34445bffb536a75cd12c 10000

But when I add the parameters in the parameters field it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

[10:11:47 AM] HostMonitor is going to execute "Parse test Json" script ...
[10:11:48 AM] Script started, invalid result received:
----------
C:\Program Files (x86)\HostMonitor8>D:\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool.exe
Usage: whatever.exe <StepID> <JsonPath> <jobID> <thresholdMS>

The "start cmd" field is:

Code: Select all

cmd /c %script% %params%

What am I doing wrong?

Have you provided input parameters for application inside script ?
Script contents should look like the following:
D:\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool\WebPerformanceReportQueryTool.exe %1 %2 %3 %4

Another question about this issue:
The Average value is float, but the Min and Max are int.

How can I change it?
