Oh never mind. I accidently commented out call to context.getParameter() to retrieve the value. Duh! Now the -G properties are working as -J.

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009, 7:07 PM My test plan has a java request that include a parameter: <elementProp name="My Arg" elementType="Argument"> <stringProp name="Argument.name">My Arg</stringProp> <stringProp name="Argument.value">${__P(myArg,1)}</stringProp> <stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp> </elementProp> When running in non-gui mode, I specify "-JmyArg=42" and getDefaultParameters() will return 42 as expected. However, this doesn't work remotely, even after I changed "-JmyArg=42" to "-GmyArg=42". >From jmeter client log: jmeter.engine.ClientJMeterEngine: Sending properties {myArg=42} >From remote jmeter log: jmeter.engine.StandardJMeterEngine: Applying properties {myArg=42} So it looks like the property gets pass over but getDefaultParameters() returns the default value of 1 instead of 42. Another data point is that properties such as threads count <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.num_threads">${__P(submitThreads,1)}</stringProp> works correctly with -G, but not the properties return via getDefaultParameters(). What am I doing wrong? Does getDefaultParameters() works for global properties? Thanks.
