UDVs are configuration elements, and they are processed as the test plan is started.
They should only be used for variables that don't change during a run. They are also shared between all threads in all groups - see the note at the end of the section: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#User_Defined_Variables On 12/05/2008, Steve Kapinos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Parent test plan is setup as > > Testplan > + threadgroupPTP > + + include controller > + threadgroupMPS > + + include controller > + threadgroupVCS > + + include controller > + threadgroupmonitor > + (bunch of stuff) > > Each include controller inserts a free-standing testplan, that each work > independantly and test out fine on their own. > > Each testplan as a UDV where a variable logdir is defined as > ${__P(p_logs-out,ptp-out)} where 'ptp-out' changes for each testplan: > mps-out, vcs-out, etc. ${logdir} is then used to define the listener's > output directory for each test.
