The CSV file needs to be present on each server host; each server will read its own copy. I suggest you partition the requests so each server exercises its own set of URLs. > Below example is to make it clear, suppose 3 remote clients are used and the > CSV list is > A > B > C > D > E > F > .... > > Which of the following patterns will the request injection be: > Client0 Client1 Client2 Client3 > ------ ------- ------ ------- > A B C D > E F G H > ...

The client JMeter collects and merges sample results from each server, but there is no other co-operation between JMeter instances. It would not make sense for the cookie manager to be shared between JMeter instances - indeed cookies are not even shared between threads in the same instance, because threads represent separate users. > Thanks a lot for your help! > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/JMeter-Distributed-%28Remote%29-Testing-vs.-CSV-Data-Config-tf4778362.html#a13669189 > Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
