Let me take a look at it. The feature needs a lot of work anyway. Will take some time, though.

Hi Akara,

I did what the doc said but I'm getting a weird behavior.
My run.xml looks something like this:

<fa:runControl>
<fa:rampUp>60</fa:rampUp>
<fa:variableLoad>true</fa:variableLoad>
<fa:variableLoadFile>/root/faban/config/profiles/test/variableFile</fa:variableLoadFile>
<fa:steadyState>3600</fa:steadyState>
<fa:rampDown>60</fa:rampDown>
</fa:runControl>

My variableFile: 1200, 300
1200, 400
1200, 500



The behavior I'm getting is Faban runs the variable load first, then after running 
the variable load, it then starts ramping up->steady state -> ramp down.

Yes, but the feature is still quite
restrictive. We're building it out better in the future.
Please see how to do it here. Let us know if you run into
problems.

Adding yet another Faban instance altogether will cause
conflicts.

Hi All,


Is it possible in Faban to increase the number of
concurrent users in the middle of the run? If not, is it
possible to run 2 Faban instance (maybe on different
machines) and run the other benchmark run after the first
one is running a while? Will it cause any problems on
the  faban agents side if 2 instances are talking to
it?
I'm interested to see how the response time
behaves/pattern when the number of concurrent users change.

Thanks,
Harold
