OK, it was not clear that you wanted to use a single id in multiple threads. In which case, use two thread groups, and set them to run one after another. Extract the id you want to use, and save it as a JMeter Property using the function: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__setProperty You can then use the __P() function to retrieve the value in the second thread group. Or if you already have a lot of samplers using a variable, just add a user parameters pre-processor to the first one and copy the property to the variable there. > I'm possibly approaching the solution to my problem incorrectly so please > comment or point me to some reading material.
