Hi, I can tell you how it works for me. All the times I executed test from non-GUI. I had 4 5 request as child's for Transaction Controller. I had below configuration and generated dashboard report.
1. Generate Parent sample enabled: It gave me only Parent Sample (Transaction Controller) response time for me. But got the particular sample was having high response time but I could not look into the actual request which was having high response time. 2. Generate Parent sample disabled I got Parent Sample with the average response time of children of Transaction Controller also got the child requests. So it was easy for me to identity the actual request with high response time. But, still we need Philippe's response on why Generate Parent Sample is not recommended... -- Thanks, Pravesh Shrivastava On Jan 24, 2018 22:49, "Scott Dean" <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you, Alexander, for asking this question.
