Hi Sebb,
Thanks for your immediate reply.
Actually, for the load test that we r planning to do, we neccessarily don't
need users to log in. They would just browse the site & add something to
the shopping cart , maybe.
I'm running the test plan in non-gui mode only. But can you please explain
to me the significance of cookie manager in this particular context ? Will i
be able to view the content of these files ?
Thanks,
Mili

Hi all,
This is my first post at the jmeter user list. I have just started
using jmeter & need some help with a particular project.
My first project was simple :
Users hitting on a site. Getting results. For this , i used 10 threads & a
loop of 2500. Ramp up was 10.
The second project:
My company wants to drop a cookie on every first-time user to the site. We
plan to have about 5 million users. The session expiry time is 20 mins .
Currently i'm planning on using 5 threads with a loop of about 100,000. Is
this right? It will take a long time to run, though. About a whole day , i
guess. So right now i'm planning to do it on weekend.
That will be either 5 different users or 500,000, depending on how a
first-time user is defined and the contents of the test plan.
I'd suggest:
ThreadGroup
+ Cookie Manager (clear each iteration)
+ Login
+ Do Something that needs login to have succeeded
+ Logout
If different users need different login names, you can either generate
these using a Counter, or you can use CSV Data Set to read them from a
file you created earlier.
If different users need different IP addresses, you are going to have
problems unless you have access to a bot net ;-).

take out some time to help me here. If you need any info, about the system
on which i would be running it on, then please mail me.
If you are running only 5 threads, then almost any host will do, so
long as you don't use any greedy Listeners.
I suggest you just use the Simple Data Writer.
Or remove all Listeners and run in non-GUI mode:
jmeter -n -t testplan.jmx -l testplan.jtl
This will use the least resources. You should change the output file
type to CSV, as that is cheaper than XML.
Or if you don't want individual sample timings, just enable the
summariser (see jmeter.properties for details) and omit the -l flag.
