  • If prompted, overwrite any existing files.
  • You do not need to restart the BAC/BSM system.

Version Content

  • Support for Windows 2008 and Windows 7
  • New Load Runner 11.0 Patch 1 Replay engine. Including the following new protocols:
    • Ajax TruClient - An advanced protocol for modern JavaScript based applications (including Ajax) emulating user activity within a web browser. Scripts are developed interactively in Mozilla Firefox.
    • Silverlight - A new protocol for Silverlight based applications emulating user activity at the transport level. Allows generating high level scripts by automatically importing and configuring WSDL files used by the application.
    • Java over HTTP - A new protocol designed to record java-based applications and applets. It produces a Java language script using web functions. This protocol is distinguished from other Java protocols in that it can record and replay Java remote calls over HTTP
