One way to do this would be to use loop controller to run for _random() times and increment _csvread. Once the loop has run thru, your _csvread would be at the random point and you can start your test case from there. Since _csvread cannot be done by itself, I put it in a HTTP (do nothing) sampler.
BTW, these are the times when I wish there was a 'do nothing' kind of sampler (or, something else) which could be used to just invoke these kind of functions - csvread, javascript, logic etc. etc. May be there is and I just don't know about it. Any one would care to throw some light on this?

To get the load that we need I have to use a number of machines using the remote testing model which is causing some problems with the db updates. Because each machine uses the same data file for their userid's and passwords each machine starts off with the same userid and gets concurrent update problems when they access the db. What I'd like to do is either back each machine off for a random period so that the chances of this are reduced or ideally get each machine to start at a random spot in the user parameters file so they each pick up a different userid. Has onyone done something similar to this or have any ideas on how I could get this to work. I'm using the CSVREAD function to read the user parameters from the file Thanks Andrew ************************************************************ Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Queensland Transport or National Transport Secretariat, or endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure.
