Web Requests - Null Parameter Values
Hello,
Customer is extracting a value from a Web Request parameter (e.g. UserID=123456). Customer claims that some web requests occasionally do not have an assigned value.
Will the purepaths for the transactions that have a null parameter value still be visible as their own split in the business transaction?
Thanks,
Joel B
Unfortunately not, we are experiencing this at my customer right now. There is an RFE to allow null values through here: Possibility to have null splitting values in business transactions
Thanks, Rick...
Follow up question:
Do you know if I look at the details of the purepath in the call tree, where I usually see "UserID=12345", if the parameter was null, would it still show up as USERID=&NEXTPARAM? (Does that make sense?)
Depends. The parameter can be null as in "UserID=" (in this case you will see what you say there), or null as in doesn't exist for that request, in which case you won't see anything.
You could try to setup a filter with "not regex" and try something like ".+".
That would in theory only let purepaths through that didn't contain any username.
I guess contains "" would do the same thing but I don't think I'm answering your question :/
