It works now. I actually have a user defined variable field.
Name: dummy_1; value: ${__Random(1,100,NUM_1)}
I tried to use ${dummy_1} to reference to the number which always gave me the
same number in a thread. Now that I use ${NUM} it works.
It would be sufficient for me to have one var for the random number, but if I
access $NUM_1 again later in the next if-controller it will use the same
number like before. that's why I'm having name-value-pairs like
Name: dummy_2; value: ${__Random(1,100,NUM_2)}
Name: dummy_3; value: ${__Random(1,100,NUM_3)}
now. It works - but for cosmetic reason - isn't there a better way?
I actually tried to create the random number directly in the if-controller
using JS - but that didn't work.
thanks so far again,
Tom

Where are you definining the variable/referencing the function?

okay this seems to work for me (it took me a bit to get it).
I'm now having ${__Random(1,100,NUM)} in a variable but each thread will
get executed with the same number returned from the function - how can I
change that behavior?

Tom

Re: probablilty of occurence
Hi, Our calculation is the following: Out of 10 page hits on page A, B, C, D ... 1 hit on page A 0.8 on page B 0.072 hits on page C 0.128 hits on page D ... until it sums up to 10. So if 1 person accesses page A it is 0.8% (out of the 10) likely that he will proceed to page B. If he is on page B it is 0.072% (out of the 10) likely that he will open page C. If he is on page C it is 0.123% (out of the same 10 again) likely that he will access page D. Our application is build that you will have to access page A to get to page B and have to access B to get to page C and so on. So e.g. out of 100 visitors on page A only 8 will proceed to page B. The other 92 will just not continue further and for those the thread will be over. As we have to keep the sequence for our application to work we can't have different threads accessing the different pages. Any pointers how to do that? On Monday, 10.

Re: probablilty of occurence
Tom, If you don't want to use an int as an approximation, maybe you can find some way to use the __Random to generate a pseudo-random number in a large range, e.g. 0-1,000,000, then test the random number for the percentage that you want. E.g. in pseudocode if ($__Random(1,100) < (1,000,000*0.83274/100)) ... then figure out how to get conditional test execution based on that result. (I've only used a small subset of JMeter so far...not sure best way to do that.) Steve sebb wrote: On 10/03/2008, Tom Fernandes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello again, On Monday, 10.

So I could give 1.2% or 0.234456% in the percentage field? Is that correct? No. The docs say: "A number. for percent execution mode, a number from 0-100" and the code uses an int to hold the value. regards, Tom - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
