Hi here i a facing a problem.That's seems more a kind of a bug.
i have conducted two tests.In each test i have set the scheduler and 5 threads getting ramped up in 150 secs. In first test ,i started the jmeter exactly at the start time of scheduler. and later if i check into aggregate report i see the threads getting ramped up every 30 secs(which is exactly as expected). Here r the first few lines of the report. 08/12/04 11:16:02,1875,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true....first thread 08/12/04 11:16:06,4031,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:11,5172,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:18,6704,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:19,1406,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:20,1515,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:27,6516,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:30,2656,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:32,2265,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true....After 30 sec,2nd 08/12/04 11:16:34,4843,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:37,2094,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:38,5531,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:44,6953,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:44,6391,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:47,3156,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:47,3187,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:49,2500,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:50,3110,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:52,2953,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:56,3594,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:57,6484,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:57,1125,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:16:59,1875,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:17:00,1328,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:17:02,2375,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true....after 30 sec. 3rd 08/12/04 11:17:04,1968,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:17:05,5235,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true in another test i started the jmeter 5 min before the start time of scheduler.Here it seems the threads start getting ramp up before and r ready to send request.As soon as the start time of scheduler is reached all threads begin to send request.Here actually,the scheduler has to override the ramp up feature and shouldn't start the threads before the start time...could anyone help me. is this really a bug???b'cos of this i need to start all systems at one instant...which is difficult. here r the first few lines of second test where it is clearly visible that scheduler has does not override the ramp up feature...... 08/12/04 11:27:03,3046,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:03,3296,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:03,3312,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:03,3984,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:04,4328,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:04,1500,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:06,1265,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:06,3141,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:06,3532,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:06,2953,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:07,2843,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:07,813,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:07,1656,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:08,1282,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:09,2391,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:09,3453,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:09,1859,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:09,1328,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:10,2562,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:11,1921,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:11,1704,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:12,2312,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:13,2594,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-2,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:13,2156,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:13,3844,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:13,1672,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:15,4235,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-3,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:15,2125,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-5,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:15,1875,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-1,text,true 08/12/04 11:27:15,2297,/search,200,OK,Thread Group1-4,text,true Any kind of inputs is appreciated thanks in advance shambu --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
