Here's what I do. For the variable value, I use ${__P(my_param_name)}.
Then I invoke Jmeter as
$ jmeter -n -t plan.jmx -Jmy_param_name=10
or whatever value I want.
Careful: When running with servers (jmeter -R) use -G instead of -J !Cheers, Felix On 08/20/10 13:57, Karsten Gaul wrote: > Hi Nythia, > > I haven't heard of a possibility to change test plan variables from the > command line yet.
