Truclient IE VUsers get stuck at Init state - performance-testing

I have developed a Truclient script using LoadRunner 12.02 and it works find both in Truclient IE script developer and my local controller. The problem occurs only when I try to run it in ALM - Performance Center 11.52. All Virtual Users get stuck at "Init" state and never proceed to "Running" state.
I try to download RawResults.zip and investigate what's the issue but it does not show any error as the total number of VUsers running were zero.
Can it be that it does not work because I developed it using LoadRunner 12.02 and I am trying to run it in ALM - Performance Center 11.52 ? I have not had this issue for Web - HTTP/HTML protocol.
I am not an expricenced performance tester and I would really appriciate it if you assist me to troubleshoot this issue. I thank you in advance.

You most likely you are trying to use a add-in in the script such as Adobe. There is a bug (or undocumented feature according tot the help desk). When using an add in the length of the name of total path effects script execution in controller. You need to save the script with a short name and in the root directory of a HDD to over come the issue you have.

This issue was fixed by downgrading LoadRunner to version 11.52 to make it compatible with the version of ALM Performance Center installed on server.

System crashes while using clearcase 8.0.1.x /9.0.1.x (checking out files) on windows 10 (1803) platform

After upgrading system to Windows 10 - os 1803 we are getting below issues while working with ClearCase 8.0.1.x/9.0.1.x
Unable to checkin/checkout.
Not able to create views.
Not able to add any file to source control.
The system hangs & crashes while performing any ClearCase operation.
There is no error message, but I have attached screenshot for reference.
Please let us know if there is any issue with the Windows 10 ver(1803), any security system enabled?
Or has ClearCase provided any fix?
We have tried 9.0.1.5 and issue still persists.
This is what we got from windows event log.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.
The bugcheck was:
0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000004, 0x00000000535be990, 0x000000000004efd3, 0xfffff803e01848b1)
for most of them whoever has upgraded to windows 1803 ver :( for people who are still using ver1709 it is working perfectly fine
Then I would recommand contacting IBM support: only them can update their ClearCase 9/Windows 10 compatibility matrix and confirm if MVFS is supported on a more recent (1803) Windows 10 edition.
We also facing same problem and I have raised the case with IBM. Still not yet resolved. As IBM said there are some limitations to work ClearCase with windows 10 and windows 2016.
We tried all the options except Secure boot disable. If possible please do disable secure boot option in Windows 10 and try to checkin/checkout code from CleraCase
Note : It works for Snapshot views. That means the issue related to MVFS
I'm seconding #VonC's recommendation to open a ticket with IBM. When you do that, save a step and collect a clearbug2 and a kernel memory dump to send in as soon as the case is opened. It will save the turn-around time of us asking you for it. If the installed programs list doesn't list installed security software (DLP, Privilege management sw like Avecto, other endpoint security tools), please list those separately as well.
I would also love to know who # IBM told you there are "limitations" with Win10-1803.
There are a few issues with Windows 10 "version upgrades" breaking things, but they generally don't cause system crashes. Windows 10 upgrades are actually full OS installs that then (imperfectly) migrate application settings. Anything that uses custom network providers (ClearCase is one example) will find that the network providers will be broken or partially broken. Reinstalling is usually required. Again, that has not yet been reported as a cause of a BSOD.
If the upgrade/reinstall didn't fix view creation, please post a separate question on the view creation issue. There may be things we can do to the SMB 2 caches to allow view creation to work in cases where the view storage is not on the client host.
I noticed that the screen shot you posted is a Terminal Services disconnect screenshot. Does the issue only occur over a Terminal Services client connection or does it also happen on a local connection?

node.js Setup Wizard ended prematurely in windows 10 64bit

For the last 3 days I have been trying to figure out how to install node.js. I tried every solution that I found on the internet, like disabling certain components during installation, installing both x86 and x64 etc, none of them worked.
My OS is Windows 10 x64. I tried different versions of node.js and they all return the same error shown in the screenshot below.
I tried installing through the command line and got the log. But I could not find anything useful from the log either. Please help.
The log can be found here: this path : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OkkK36hlQeBX0xTNuOuilGaNr1u3S55e
MSI (s) (74:88) [20:49:45:955]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=RegisterEventManifest,,)
MSI (s) (74:88) [20:49:45:961]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=RegisterEventManifest,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="wevtutil.exe" im "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_etw_provider.man")

CAQuietExec: Error 0xc0000409: Command line returned an error.
This is the relevant part of the log and where the install keels over, noise removed. 0xc0000409 is very, very nasty. STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN is a stack corruption error, triggered by code that protects against viral attacks.
Searching for "nodejs install 0xc0000409" takes you to this bug report, notable from December 2015. This issue has been dogging users for a long time, but they are having trouble finding the root cause. The generic workaround is to disable this install step by disabling the installation of the ETW performance counters.
Which works, but is but a band-aid. I think macario1983's comment points at the real troublemaker. It got a lot of helpful votes in just two days. And points at the kind of viral rootkit that programmer's voluntarily install, the kind that can so easily cause a STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN error with no decent way to identify the code that causes it. Anti-malware has become a cure that is worse than the disease, Avast in particular is a truly awful product and does not belong on a programmer's machine.
So decent advice is to 1: disable the anti-malware product before installing Node. 2: get rid of completely if it is Avast. 3: disable the performance counter registration. 4: try the updated installer, patched 4 days ago.
I disabled the AVG antivirus(version 18.4.3056) but not windows firewall and then i was able to install nodejs.
Possible options to solve this:
1. Removing previous installations traces
If you have previous installations, make sure that they were uninstaled completely. If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\_V2Providers\{1e2e15d7-3760-470e-8699-b9db5248edd5} record exist in your register, remove it.
2. Disabling Performance Counters
If you don't need Performance counters feature, try to install without it (or maybe even without Event Tracing).
3. Disabling security and giving the full permissions
Clean Temp Folder
Disable your antivirus/firewall for the period of installation.
C:/users/$user/AppData/Local/Temp- Right Click on Temp and go to Properties > select Security Tab > give the user permissions by checking Full Control on permission
Install Node.js
I had today the same problem with Windows 10 64 bit and Node.js 8.11.2: disabling completly Avast just for the time of the installation solved the issue.
I was trying to install Node.js through node-v8.11.2-x64.exe, but it was rolling back every time at the end. The error in the event log was about wevtutil.exe, version 10.0.17134.1
I had the same issue on a Windows 2012R2 server installing node-v8.11.2-x64, and disabled the McAfee anti-virus to no avail. When I went to clean out the TEMP folder as suggested in this thread, I noticed that several files and folders were locked and could not be deleted, so I rebooted the machine (with the anti-virus disabled). After the reboot, I noticed that the locked temp files had been deleted, and I was able to install node.js, including the Performance Counters and Event Tracking options.
I spent one day for that ....Best solutions is download zip example node-v12.16.2-win-x86.zip.

is there any way i can use Application Loader on windows?

I have just created an iPhone app and need to upload the .ipa file, but I downloaded application loader and I am not able to open it via windows 7. is there any way around this?
I know this is an old question, but it came up on my search for a solution to the same problem. I wanted to share that I found a service that offers remote access to Mac OS called macincloud.com
I gave it a try, and it's surprisingly easy. Documentation isn't great, but it's not that difficult once you have access to the remote mac. Depending on how much time you're going to need to spend, there are a few pricing options, the cheapest of which is $12/week, but you can cancel any time (we'll see).
Of course it's very late for answering this, but maybe someone need this service. There is a desktop application that allows you to send your generated .ipa as well as Application Loader.
See here: http://appuploader.net/index.php
You can have Mac OS on your PC Virtual Machine, then easily install Application Loader there
When in search "Application Uploader" in Google, the following result http://www.appstoreuploader.com/ comes at no. 3. Apparently they charge $5 to upload your app.

How to add Tridion site in Internet Information Services(IIS) Manager?

I am working SDL TRIDION 2011 SP1 version. Suddenly I am unable to see the Trdion site in Internet Information Services(IIS) Manager. Please tell me the procedure how to get it back again.
Remove Tridion Completely (uninstall), then run the installer again.
You won't loose any data (it's all in the database), and you're likely to get your server up and running way faster than trying to fix by hand.
As #bart suggested, your best option to get the web application back (assuming it really has gone), is to run the repair option with the installer. There are a lot of folder specific settings which would be very hard to recreate manually.

Problem with local Azure deployment

I'm trying to run a WebRole on my local machine via Compute Emulator. My Compute Emulator and Storage Emulator is running fine. When I hit F5 in VS2010, I can see the action in Compute Emulator. But after a while, I get an exception in VS2010;
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Hosts.Worker.RuntimeEnvironmentException was unhandled
Message=Unable to load the runtime environment: could not get hosting environment settings
Source=WaWorkerHost
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Hosts.Worker.Parameters..ctor()
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Hosts.Worker.Loader.Main(String[] args)
InnerException:
Then Roles in Compute Emulator begins to shutdown. VS2010 launches the browser with IP and port but no luck, it's not running of course.
I don't think this is a coding error because I live the same problem even in an empty out-of-the-box Azure project and a single Web Role on it.
I've searched the net but no info about this error. Actually if you search exactly for "RuntimeEnvironmentException" Google returns zero result. Using the description words also does not make any sense.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Ali
Sorry for not responding earlier but I was still working on the issue. Then a Microsoft guy from Turkey office figured it out. There is a problem with localization on developer machines. In development environment computers, in "Region and Languages", set "Format" to "English (United States)" and "Current Location" to "United States". After setting these, Azure emulator is working flawlessly. They said this is a known issue and they're preparing a report about this. I hope this will be resolved in next releases.
Hope this helps to anyone who live same problem. And thanks everyone who tried to help...

I've had a similar issue where the compute emulator just fails to load my web role and nothing ever responds. It seems to happen to me when I hibernate my laptop a few times while the compute emulator is running. Even shutting the emulator down and restarting it doesn't seem to help.
Best solution I've found is to reboot. Definitely not elegant (and a bit of a pain in the butt), but it's worked for me every time.
Not sure if this helps or not. Good luck.
