Command Line Argument Passing

[Bryan Li <br...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's a command line argument I can use to pass an
variable to JMeter that later can be extracted in the test plan, ie, if I
run JMeter in the non-GUI mode,

java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar -n -Xabc_host=127.0.0.1, then in the JMeter test
plan, I can extract the value of abc_host with ${abc_host}.

Is there a way to do this? I tried -J but it doesn't seem to work. It only
changes the JMeter properties which are already defined.

Thanks,
Bryan

The -J option sets JMeter properties; access them with the __P() function:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html

JMeter variables cannot be set from the command-line.
