MeasureGetPercentile Function

Action

Retrieves the quantile value of a measure identified by sName and nClass for a given percentage (3rd parameter).

注: The function returns the percentile value aggregated by the process that hosts the virtual user(s). This process is the perfRun.exe. Thus, the returned percentile value is based on all virtual users running in that process.

Syntax

MeasureGetPercentile( in  sName  : string,
                      in  nClass : number,
                      in  fP     : float,
                      out fValue : float ) : boolean;

Return value

true if successful
false otherwise

Parameter	Description
sName	Measure name that identifies the measure.
nClass	Specifies the type of measure to retrieve. To retrieve the value of a custom time measure, pass the MEASURE_TIMER_RESPONSETIME parameter to the function. To retrieve the value of a custom counter, pass the MEASURE_COUNTER_CUSTOMCOUNTER parameter to the function. To retrieve the value of an average counter, pass the MEASURE_COUNTER_AVERAGE parameter to the function. In any other case, pass any of the following parameters to the function, depending on the type of information you are interested in. MEASURE_PAGE_PAGETIME (for protocol-level load testing) MEASURE_PAGE_ACTIONTIME (for browser-driven load testing) MEASURE_PAGE_PAGEBYTES MEASURE_PAGE_EMBEDDEDBYTES MEASURE_PAGE_DOCDOWNLOAD MEASURE_PAGE_SERVERBUSY MEASURE_IIOP_ROUNDTRIP MEASURE_IIOP_SERVERBUSY MEASURE_SQL_SQLPARSE MEASURE_SQL_SQLEXEC MEASURE_SQL_SQLEXECDIRECT MEASURE_TRANS_TRANSOK MEASURE_TRANS_TRANSERR MEASURE_TRANS_TRANSCA MEASURE_FORM_BYTESSENT MEASURE_FORM_BYTESRECEIVED MEASURE_FORM_HITSOK MEASURE_FORM_HITSERR MEASURE_FORM_ROUNDTRIP MEASURE_FORM_SERVERBUSY MEASURE_TUXEDO_BYTESSENT MEASURE_TUXEDO_BYTESRECEIVED MEASURE_TUXEDO_RESPONSETIME
fP	The percentage must be in the range of 0.0 to 1.0.
fValue	Retrieves the quantile value.
