Wasting Time

In the following segment, lr_start_timer and lr_end_timer are used to calculate the time spent on checks. This is then subtracted from the time spent on transaction "sampleTrans" with lr_wasted_time.

   double time_elapsed, duration, waste; 

   merc_timer_handle_t timer; 

   lr_start_transaction("sampleTrans"); 

   web_url("index.htm", 
           "URL=http://localhost/index.htm", 
           "TargetFrame=", 
           "Resource=0", 
           "RecContentType=text/html", 
           "Referer=", 
           "Snapshot=t1.inf", 
           "Mode=HTML", 
           LAST); 

   timer = lr_start_timer(); 

   // Do some checks the duration of which is not to be included in the transaction.

   web_image_check("ImgCheck1", 
           "src=index_files/image002.jpg", 
           LAST); 

   web_image_check("ImgCheck2", 
           "src=index_files/planets.gif", 
           LAST); 

   // How long did the tests take in seconds. 

   time_elapsed = lr_end_timer(timer); 

   // Convert to millisecond.s 

   waste = time_elapsed * 1000; 

   // Remove the time the checks took from the transaction.

   lr_wasted_time(waste); 

   lr_end_transaction("sampleTrans", LR_AUTO); 

Programmatically Controlling Logging

Use something like...

   int log_profile = LR_MSG_CLASS_EXTENDED_LOG
                        |
                     LR_MSG_CLASS_FULL_TRACE
                        |
                     LR_MSG_CLASS_RESULT_DATA
                        |
                     LR_MSG_CLASS_PARAMETERS;

   ...

   lr_set_debug_message(log_profile, LR_SWITCH_ON); 

   ... Code you want extended logging for ...

   lr_set_debug_message(log_profile, LR_SWITCH_OFF);
