complete transaction in jmeter?

[Gustavo Gonnet <gu...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

let's say I have a transaction composed of HTTP message A and B
I have a threadGroup with 2 HTTP Request HTTPClients that reflects that
transaction.
Then I start a load test with 30 threads, that is scheduled to run for 10
minutes.
At the end of the test, the threads seem to stop where they are, they don't
complete the transaction: what it means is that if thread xy sent message A
it stops there, but I need it to send as well message B before it stops.

is there a way to acomplish this "transaction completion" somehow?
thanks!!!
Gustavo.

The test duration timer currently checks whether to stop the test
after every sample.

I think the only way currently to stop a test at the end of a thread
would be to add an If Controller at the end of the script with the
condition:

${__time()} - ${START} > 10*60*1000

This should have a child sampler consisting of the Test Action:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Test_Action

with Current Thread / Stop selected.

The START variable needs to be set to the test start time. If you are
using non-GUI mode, then you can use START.MS, but that is not
suitable for GUI mode, as the time is currently saved during JMeter
startup - which may be some while before the test starts.

However you can add a START variable to the Test Plan

START     ${__time()}

this will be set up when the test itself starts.
