Evening,

the command line in non GUI Mode??? Or vise versa???
Cheers..

Hi
you can write a preprocessor or a listener to null out or remove the
variables. I assume you are doing something iteratively?
You might experiment with the reset bsh.interpreter flag
For out of memory
<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024m"/> -- max Heap size , you have set it to
1 GB
> <jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=64m"/> -- max Perm space , should be
> enough
Increasing Xmx may cause the problem to show up later or might even fix it ,
but you should have enough RAM on your machine..

Re: Performance Testing with JMeter on the cmd line or Ant???
Posted by Andyy <an...@gmail.com>.
I get you, that makes sense. I've actually been using ant all along but have
been
getting out of memory errors and taught Ant might have something to do with
it.
I ran jprofiler on it and It seems the beanshell variables are using an
increasing
amount of memory to the point of it causing an out of Memory exception. Can
editing of the following properties clear these variables at the end of a
thread
without having a heavy effect on performance??
I don't understand too much the effects of the properties. I really just
added them to the xml
when running in ant to change the Xmx size and saw they were available too.
<jvmarg value="-server"/>
<jvmarg value="-Xms256m"/>
<jvmarg value="-Xmx1024m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:NewSize=128m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxNewSize=1024m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:PermSize=64m"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxLiveObjectEvacuationRatio=50%"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:SurvivorRatio=8"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=2"/>
<jvmarg value="-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=60000"/>
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=64m"/>
Any suggestions or info on these would be greatly appreciated (and I
apologise for going off topic slightly)
Thanks,
Andyy...

Jmeter only has as much memory as the Java VM (-Xmx) which is the same for
ANT (though yes you would have ANT's footprint), I prefer ANT myself , more
convenient , portable etc , havent had any memory issues that wouldnt have
happened on the command line.we pass environment specific parameters etc
easily from the Ant script...
I guess its a matter of personal preference. I dont know if ANT works when
you are using Jmeter to run clients remotely so that might be another reason
for you...

Hi Deepak,
Cheers for the reply. And tell me thou in terms of Stress Testing I would
see
the advantages you added as minor (as i may not want to include them in my
build
be manual monitoring its progress and results too large to convert to html)
whereas
on the downside Ant itself will require extra Memory on the box. Reducing
its
availability to JMeter.
Whereas running from the cmd line JMeter can make use of all available
memory.
So in terms of handling resources etc where would the advantages lie in
Ant??
Thanks again,
Andyy...

Well all the advantages that ANT provides (You can make the test part of
your build, be notified of failures, generate the HTMl report by styling
