If I run many threads, say 20, will the various threads be in lock step? I do want all the threads to use the same random number generator so that the next value is relatively random. I'm concerned that if I have 20 random number generators, and they're all seeded with the current time, they may all have the same seed and generate the same random numbers. Using JMeter's architecture and JavaScript Random() function, will I get 20 instances of the Random() Function (which I don't want)? Or alternatively, how can I indirectly control the seeding by starting each thread with a delay?
Thanks, Bruce sebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Rather than use the IF controller, the Switch Controller can be combined with a suitable variable (N). Just define the variable to have the values 0,1,2 for the relevant percentage of the time. Basic procedure: r=random integer, 1-100 N=0 if 0 < r <= 80 N=1 if 80 < r This can be done in a JavaScript or BeanShell function. On 25/03/06, bgordon wrote: > Thanks Praveen.
