    I'm sorry, the limit for step timeout is 90 seconds for 'out of production' test runs against the remote servers from the toolbar. You can set the timeout higher for production runs, but Test on Demand from the DejaClick Toolbar is limited to this threshold. Once you upload the script, you can change the Step Timeout in the console to a higher threshold, and Test on Demand runs from the console for a monitor should use the Step Timeout defined for the monitor; up to 300 seconds.

       You can log into your AlertSite account in DejaClick under the Blue Globe. Once you have recorded and played your script successfully locally, you can upload it under the blue globe as well in the toolbar. Select Upload Recording to do so and give the new monitor a name.

     

        Once the device is uploaded successfully, a configuration window is automatically opened where you can edit the new monitor. From this window, you can select Edit Monitor and change the timeouts, locations, and other options for the new monitor. Once you have made the changes, save it and you are all set.

     

       In the original console, select the monitor to edit under the Configure Tab. From this edit window you can also update the frequency, timeouts, and other options for the monitor.

Hi,

 

First of all thanks a lot for quick reply from your side. As you said

 

"Once you upload the script, you can change the Step Timeout in the console to a higher threshold, and Test on Demand runs from the console for a monitor should use the Step Timeout defined for the monitor; up to 300 seconds."

 

So I have tested and verified script using DejaClick, so what steps I have to follow for the above suggested things, I mean how to upload script and change step timeout in the console etc, I am new to this so could you please elaborate in steps, if possible.

 

Regards,

Manoj Singh

    Hi,

     

    Perfect way to describe and it help me to upload and run my script.

    Hey I am from Mumbai India and I have few more small doubts to raise. When we upload a script and specify the location what's the impact of that, from where those script are getting executed because our web server is in US and when I am performing it through my machine its working fine and through alertsite getting timeout, so want to understand the impact of location and other settings

     

    Regards,

    Manoj

      If you server is closer to the testing location you select you will probably see shorter response times. The routing to and from the server is longer or shorter depending on he location you select, and the underlying infrastructure of the country itself. The benefit of this is to allow you to perform tests where you expect your clients to connect from, and get an idea of their experience when they visit your site from Mumbai versus Los Angeles or New York or Manchester versus Beijing. Hope that helps
