Hi, If you used scheduling for your thread groups you could have one that runs without any startup delay and all your others with a delay. The one that starts first and is configured to run once only could do the job of wiping your database. David Schulberg

How can I run this initialization step only once, at the start of the test? I looked at the RunOnce controller, but it only executes once per _iteration_ , not per test. So multiple threads will run the initialization each time. My test needs multiple thread groups running concurrently, so I can't put the initialization in a separate thread group and tick 'Run each Thread Group separately'. Any thoughts?
