Recording Siebel VUgen Script

Question

I've got 2 problems with recording VUGen script. My configuration:

Load Runner 11.00
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
Windows XP Professional SP 3, I5-2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHz, 2.91 Gb RAM

I use Siebel – web protocol. Our application uses https protocol.

VUGen Recording options  are:
General-Script:
Generate think time greater than threshold = 3, checked
Track processes created as COM local servers
General – Protocols:
    Siebel –Web
General – Recording:
    HTML-based script
        Advanced- Script type = A script containing explicit URLs only
        Advanced – Non HTML generated elements =Do not record
Network
    Port Mapping
        Capture level = WinINET level data
HTTP Properties – Advanced
    Save snapshot resources locally checked
    Support charset = UTF-8 
HTTP Properties –Correlation
    Siebel correlation checked

The first problem is: When recording script on my host machine there are a lot of events (about 800 from login only). I comparing it with my virtual machine and with my coleagues hosts.

This is the sample of my host:

[Network Analyzer ( bf8:1714)] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Network Analyzer ( bf8:1714)] Load Network Traffic Analyzers:
[Network Analyzer ( bf8:1714)]     Analyzer Module: Siebel_Web (value=)

[WinInet Request  ( bf8: d08)] GET "https://bcvm168/fins_rus/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=bcvm168"

This is the sample of my virtual machine:

[WinInet Request  ( 86c: 8cc)] GET "https://bcvm168/fins_rus/files/main.css"
[WinInet Request  ( 86c: 8cc)] GET "https://bcvm168/fins_rus/23016/scripts/login.js"
[WinInet Request  ( 86c: 8cc)] GET https://bcvm168/fins_rus/23016/scripts/swecommon_top.js

I don't know how to turn off this Network Analyzer.

The second problem is an issue with recording drilldown action:

I am trying to record drilldown using portmapping = wininet This attempt fails: recorded a lot of events (about 3000) after this the IE tab recovers and nothing else records.
When I'm trying to use port-mapping Socket, drilldown doesn't fails, but nothing recording. Please help me.

I think you need a mentor to assist you locally as you are asking to turn off items which are core to the product's capability to record. This would suggest that you have been dumped into this role with little to no training on the tools you are using.

If the observation above is true and you are being asked to deliver without training in tools, processes or a mentor for a period of time which could be as long as a year (depending upon your foundation skills) then you should be aware that this path has nearly a 100% failure rate and that it is your management to blame for your predicament.
