Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply. The value I wish to use is indeed within the html page. When I view the http request for the page in question in Jmeter I get the following output:

Name | Value | Encode
stockID | 4657829 |


Do I specify the regular expression where the existing stockID value is, i.e.:

Name | Value | Encode
stockID | {regular expression} |

Or do I specify the regular expression in the Regular expression Extractor, and the place the reference name in the http request page?, i.e.:

Name | Value | Encode
stockID | {reference name} |

many thanks for your help

Andrew

You must alter your test after recording it. Assuming the ID's you need
are in the returned HTML, use a regular expression to extract them,
store them in a JMeter variable, and use them in a later request.

The alternative is restoring your database after each series of tests.

Hi,
I have just started to use Jmeter and find it a very useful tool,
particularly the proxy server facility which records steps taken when I
navigate through my site.

My site is a dynamic one, so using the proxy server option records the
values generated by my database etc. The problem I have is that when you
then run a test it uses for example, the unique ID that was created when
I saved a record to a table. Running the test then tries to use a key
which already exists thus throwing a duplicate key error. My question
is, how do I set the proxy server facility to record my movements
through the site but when running a test not to use the recorded values
but to use values generated as the test navigates through the site?


regards


Andrew
