Use infinite loop with the scheduler. On the main configuration screen, there is also an option of runnning thread groups concurrently.
E.g. we do the following: T.G. configuration: Loop count: infinite Ramp up time (period): 2 hours Threads: 600 Duration: 2 hours That would start a new thread every 12 seconds. You can play around with this to achieve the rampup you need.
