JMeter assumes each thread is a single user, so does not have such support built-in. However, if there is a fixed number of user names, you could perhaps use variables along the lines of: USER1 TOKEN1 ... USERn TOKENn You'll probably need to use the __V() function to build the variable names. Otherwise, you will need to use some code as you suggest. But in either case it may be tricky to retest the names and tokens. With a suitable naming convention - and __V() - you might be able to use the For Each Controller to loop through all the values. > Regards, > > George > > > On 20/01/2009, at 8:21 PM, Fitzpatrick, Adrian wrote: > > > > > > Hi George, > > > > I would say best approach is to use a regular expression extractor to > extract > > token from response into a variable, and then use that variable whereever > the > > token is required in your script. > > > > - Adrian > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: George Barnett [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: 20 January 2009 06:18 > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Best method for saving login tokens > > > > > > ************************************* > > > > This e-mail has been received by the Revenue Internet e-mail service.
