read the CSV Data Set Config once

[thanh nguyen <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

In my script, I want the first thread to do  an activity X, and the second
one to do activity Y. For each thread I want they keep doing their activity
forever.  I have a CSV Data Set Config at the beginning of my script. I put
the activity number in the CSV file and I want Jmeter to read it when it
starts a new thread. But I don't want it reads the file in the next
iterations (because the first thread will read the activity Y)

 My question: how can I do it? My Thread Group's loop count is set to
forever.

I don't want to use the While controller because I want to use the cache
manager's "clear cache each iteration" feature.


The following illustrates my script:

Tesplan
+CSV Data Set Config
+Thread Group
        + Switch Controller
                 + Simple Controller: activity X
                 + Simple Controller: activity Y


One workaround would be designing the script like this:

Tesplan
+CSV Data Set Config
+Thread Group 1
       + Simple Controller: activity X
+Thread Group 2
       + Simple Controller: activity Y

But what the problem arises when I have 15 activities.... It'll be hard to
manage all the thread groups

Thank you
Thanh Nguyen

Try:

TestPlan
+ ThreadGroup (loop count = 1)
+ CSV Data Set Config
+ Loop Controller
+ + rest of test plan
