Disabling adjustments to page response times

Starting with Rational® Performance Tester Version 8.1.1, HTTP page response times are adjusted for increased accuracy by using advanced techniques to exclude processing overhead not related to the server under test. To configure the product to use the previous method for calculating page response times, set the RPT_VMARGS property rptPre811PageResponseTimes.

About this task

Typically, you do not disable adjustments to page response times unless you want to compare results gathered from versions of the product prior to 8.1.1 with results gathered from versions of the product starting with 8.1.1.

  2. Click Open.
  3. Under Property Groups, click the General Properties link, and then click Add.
