Deepak, Thanks for the response. The user credentials are not tied to the customer credentials. So, I guess having a second CSV data config dataset might work. In the loop, the user will just pick up the next row in the customer file and process the transaction.
I'll test that to see if it works. Thanks. Geoff Endris (o) (317) 798-2147 (c ) (317) 514-5025 9247 N.

If the answer is no , then something like this probably works +Thread Group ++User Credentials CSV Data Set Config - Sharing mode = All Threads , ++Say U1, U2, U3, U4 ++Loop Controller (or while controller) - e.g. 2 times +++ Customer Actions CSV Data Set Config - Sharing mode = All Threads +++ say C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, C6,C7,C8 +++ Sampler that can use variable from both CSV data set variables if you run this with say 2 threads you should see something like U1, C1 U1, C2 U2, C3 U2, C4 U3, C5 U3, C6 U4, C7 U4, C8 But you cannot definitively say U3 will always read C5 and C6 it depends on when the sampler on each thread finishes. If they are dependent or if I have misread your need then please elaborate. I've done things like pre -process files so that I get something like U1,C1~C2~C3 (i.e. use ~ as a second delimiter ) U2,C4~C5~C6 ... So that Each users data is read as a single row in JMeter , then write some code that looks at the second variable and splits it up and sets it up into memory so that it can be iterated over (basically append _1, _2 to the variable name so that the forEach controller can iterate over it). CSVRead can also be used. regards deepak On Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 9:31 AM, Geoff Endris < [email protected]> wrote: > I have a JMeter script that needs multiple simultaneous users to log > in, then each user loops through a number of customer setup actions. > Each setup action requires a separate set of input values (customer > id, customer email, customer phone).
