Hi
One idea is instead of parsing the value; wrap it.
For example said that the thread group users is 50 and you have 5 machines
in the farm you would need to divide by 5 with eval expression like
${__eval(50 / 5)} this can be the value in the thread group configuration.Now you dont care if its a fixed value or a variable. בתאריך 2012 9 17 07:35, מאת "Anthony Johnson" <[email protected]>: > I assume that you are trying to spread the load as equally as possible? > > Could you would some magic with the Beanshell Server? > > Perhaps you can block every test in a setup Thread group or a > Once-Only Controller until your test distribution is done and then > open the gates? > > Good luck, > > Anthony > > On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 9:48 PM, Oliver Lloyd <[email protected]> > wrote: > > No really, sadly this is the problem statement. > > > > So, what I'm working on is a program that takes the jmeter jmx file and > farms it out over a bunch of machines.
