I know JMeter works when I run it from a Windows box and point it at a ZOS box, but I want to run JMeter 2.2 in batch mode (-n) from within Unix System Services on ZOS. This is so that I can automate some tests.
However when I run JMeter it appears to send garbage data (EBCDIC?) in the POST request: POST /SpringSimpleAddressBookWeb/add_contact.do HTTP/1.1 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: JSESSIONID=00003IPlaBORkaMwOuHwpOAmjUu:C081E072F214D42E000000D40000000109390F0B Content-Length: 48 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded User-Agent: Java/1.4.2 Host: 9.145.68.119:9081 Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2 ~??P ... as opposed to something like this when JMeter is run from Windows: POST /SpringSimpleAddressBookWeb/add_contact.do HTTP/1.1 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000RMNYrz2DRWwXGi1zEQMNBIq:C081E072F214D42E000000D40000000109390F0B Content-Length: 48 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded User-Agent: Java/1.4.2 Host: localhost:9081 Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2 name=Lucas&phoneNumber=123&dateOfBirth=&address= I've tried invoking JMeter by using the -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 on the java command line but java then seems to expect the parameters for JMeter to be in EBCDIC as well! For example: /WebSphere/V6R0M0/AppServer/java/bin/java -jar -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 JMeter/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar -n -l jm.log -t YP_STRUTS_ADD.jmx yields: /test/workarea/automation/tmp:>jmenc.sh The jar file is not found: ÑÔ £ a£` £ `òKòaaÁ ÑÔ £ K /test/workarea/automation/tmp:> Any ideas please on how to get this working? I am not a ZOS expert so hopefully the fix is simple:). Many thanks. Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
