This is one way add a User Parameters , just one user will do, specify the name like currentTime and value like ${__time(YMD)}${__time(HMS) . Also check update once per iteration (basically generating a timestamp , you can use other ways to generate a timestamp too , the reason I do it this way is that I need this value for multiple samplers) Then when you need to post a unique data element, you can provide a value like ${userIdPrefix}_${__threadNum()}_${currentTime}
where userIdPrefix is a variable normally defined as JMeterCreatedUser or something . Note that because JMeter can call javascript or even Java/BSH any method you want of generating unique ids works (for example you could use UUID's) regards deepak On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 4:42 PM, virkenator <virkena...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am a newbie.
