This is odd. Certainly does not coincide with the code as I interpret it. Something else must be holding the ramp-up back. I'll need to check. Thanks.

Hi Akara,

I downloaded the latest Faban and I think I'm still getting that behavior.

It goes to the variable load controller before the ramp-up.

I checked real quick for the behavior
of the variable load and with the current source, I don't think this behavior would be there. The threads get started and notifies the master before it goes into the load variation so you should not see the log sequence as you send me before. Can you check whether you have an older Faban build? If so, can you please upgrade to 1.0RC1 (on http://faban.sunsource.net/).

As for results, the final results will not tell you much.
You should rather enable the runtime stats in your run confirguration file. Search for <runtimeStats enabled="true|false">. It will periodically dump out the current stats into the logs (I know this also needs improvement). Thanks.

I'm curious as to whether the final figure/data will
capture the variable workload or just ramp up -> steady
state -> ramp down data.
I'm interested in the response time graph of the
variable load.

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.

http://faban.sunsource.net/1.0/docs/howdoi/loadvariation.html

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
