How many variables are there?
If only a few items change, I would pass them in as properties on the
command-line. Reference them using the ${__P(property.name)} syntax.
[This is a useful technique for thread count, loops, ramp-up]
If there are more than a few, then put them in user.properties.
Or you can use User Defined variables on the Test Plan itself, and
edit the JMX file. A bit messy.

Ok, I guess this would work very well in conjunction with the csv data set
config.

Thanks for your answer:)

Ah, Ok Nino.
So you either have to load the correct IDs in to a file when your DB is
regenereated, or better still you need to capture the ID from the previous
HTTP request yes?
You need to use the Regular Expression Extractor. This will enable you to
capture any data in the header or body of the response and store to a
parameter. You can then use this parameter in future HTTP requests.
Go to the Jakarta JMeter online docs and read up on these functions.
Thanks,
Matt
