Hi,
I guess that the transaction controller's name is set before any of its
child samplers are executed and I guess that the first "entry" is set
inside that controller?
Try to fetch the "ENTRY" value just before the Transaction "Consolidate
${ENTRY}" and see if it is set or not.Best, Shmuel Krakower. www.Beatsoo.org - re-use your jmeter scripts for application performance monitoring from worldwide locations for free.
