Thanks for your response Dmitri. Without Parallel controller they will run as sequential order. But in real world they are running in parallelly. So removing Parallel controller, I won't be able to simulate the real world scenario. As you mentioned if that setup doesn't work at all, can you suggest alternatives to keep them parallel running ?

It appeared few years ago and it is not required for implementing concurrency as JMeter is being used for load testing for 20+ years without this plugin. It executes its children in parallel threads and your test "design" assumes that first you "reset" something using a JSR223 Sampler and then you're running a while loop. With Parallel Controller both JSR223 Sampler and the While Controller are being executed at the same time hence the "variable" isn't getting "reset" because the Sampler and the While Controller are running in parallel threads and even if your Groovy code is very fast JMeter Variables are thread local<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjmeter.apache.org%2Fusermanual%2Ffunctions.html&data=04%7C01%7Cnmudalige%40virtusa.com%7C06fe432ee7784698205908d9fb4b4e65%7C0d85160c589944caacc8db1501b993b6%7C0%7C0%7C637817123266014238%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=d8y5BeeylLEp%2B3F5xFomWFPRUZOOHELYOYj9eb82MYM%3D&reserved=0> and While Controller won't be able to access it. Just remove the Parallel Controllers as you don't need them at all in this case.

Here, I used bzm - Parallel controller (Item Publish - Parallel, pls refer the image) to execute those are in parallel and use While controller as child of it to execute until the expectation is met. JSR223 sample is used to reset the While variable for next loop. This While setup is successfully executed for any number of iterations without using Parallel controller. But when that setup put under the Parallel controller, first iteration works fine for both requests but from 2nd iteration onwards it doesn't get executed and throw the below error. Please refer the parent/child setup and error below and please share your thoughts to resolve this case. Thank you !!
