How to divide request in loop controller between ThreadsGroups jmeter - jmeter

I have some problem with time of invocation of requests.
The following structure of test plan :
[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zl1tX.png
I read directly ulr path from txt file and send it
my code
LineNumberReader lineReader = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(new File("C:/tidaltv/LogsReplayer/LoggerReplaySTG_AllRegions/InputData/test.txt")));
String line = null;
int count = 0;
while ((line = lineReader.readLine()) != null) {
String[] values = line.split(" ");
for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i++)
{
if(values[i].startsWith("/ILogger.aspx?"))
{
props.put("path_" + count, values[i]);
log.info(props.get("path_" + count).toString());
}
}
count++;
}
props.put("LoopCounterValue", count.toString());
props.put("CounterValue", (count-1).toString());
log.info(count.toString());
lineReader.close();
but when i execute my test plan in one thread, for example, 20000 request its take much time.
Can i divide requests between several threads to make its faster

Instead of doing it in the normal Thread Group and writing the values to JMeter Properties just switch to the setUp Thread Group and write the values to the CSV file.
This way you will be able to use CSV Data Set Config and specify the desired number of threads in the Thread Group so the requests would go in parallel and each JMeter thread (virtual user) would fetch the next value from the CSV file on each iteration.

How to use elements stored in a list in a for each controller

This is how the test plan looks :
Thread group
For Each Controller
GraphQL HTTP Request
Bean Shell Pre Processor
From the previous thread I extracted an attributes' value from the json response. That attribute is an id and for each sample unique id is generated. I then stored these ids in a text file as I need to use those ids in the above thread.
In the pre-processor I have the logic to read the text file. Here goes the logic :
FileReader fr = new FileReader("${filePath}");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String line;
List idList = new ArrayList();
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
idList.add(line);
}
String[] idArray = new String[idList.size()];
for (int counter = 1; counter <= idList.size(); counter++) {
idArray[counter - 1] = idList.get(counter - 1);
Now I need to use each Id stored in the array as a variable parameter in the graph QL request. So for such cases I learnt that we need to use for each controller. Now my question is how do I use each Id in the for each controller.
In order to be able to use ForEach Controller you need to set up special JMeter Variables like:
id_1=foo
id_2=bar
id_3=baz
So I would recommend re-arranging your Thread Group to something like:
Thread Group
Beanshell Sampler
ForEach Controller
GraphQL HTTP Request
and amend your code to:
FileReader fr = new FileReader("${filePath}");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String line;
List idList = new ArrayList();
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
idList.add(line);
}
String[] idArray = new String[idList.size()];
for (int counter = 1; counter <= idList.size(); counter++) {
idArray[counter - 1] = idList.get(counter - 1);
vars.put("id_" + counter, idList.get(counter - 1))
}
The ForEach Controller configuration would be something like:
Also be aware that according to JMeter Best Practices you should be using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting so it worth considering migrating to the JSR223 Sampler
If you don't want the JSR223 Sampler to appear in the test results you can add SampleResult.setIgnore() line somewhere in your script.

How to retrieve total view count of large number of pages combined from the GA API

We are interested in the statistics of the different pages combined from the Google Analytics core reporting API. The only way I found to query statistics multiple pages at the same is by creating a filter like so:
ga:pagePath==page?id=a,ga:pagePath==page?id=b,ga:pagePath==page?id=c
And this get escaped inside the filter parameter of the GET query.
However when the GET query gets over 2000 characters I get the following response:
414. That’s an error.
The requested URL /analytics/v3/data/ga... is too large to process. That’s all we know.
Note that just like in the example call the only part that is different per page is a GET parameter in the pagePath, but we have to OR a new filter specifying both the metric (pagePath) as well as the part of the path that is always identical.
Is there any way to specify a large number of different pages to query without hitting this limit in the GET query (I can't find any documentation for doing POST requests)? Or are there alternatives to creating batches of a max of X different pages per query and adding them up on my end?
Instead of using ga:pagePath as part of a filter you should use it as a dimension. You can get up to 10,000 rows per query this way and paginate to get all results. Then parse the results client side to get what you need. Additionally use a filter to scope the results down if possible based on your site structure or page names.
I am sharing a sample code where you can fetch more then 10,000 record data via help of Items PerPage
private void GetDataofPpcInfo(DateTime dtStartDate, DateTime dtEndDate, AnalyticsService gas, List<PpcReportData> lstPpcReportData, string strProfileID)
{
int intStartIndex = 1;
int intIndexCnt = 0;
int intMaxRecords = 10000;
var metrics = "ga:impressions,ga:adClicks,ga:adCost,ga:goalCompletionsAll,ga:CPC,ga:visits";
var r = gas.Data.Ga.Get("ga:" + strProfileID, dtStartDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"), dtEndDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
metrics);
r.Dimensions = "ga:campaign,ga:keyword,ga:adGroup,ga:source,ga:isMobile,ga:date";
r.MaxResults = 10000;
r.Filters = "ga:medium==cpc;ga:campaign!=(not set)";
while (true)
{
r.StartIndex = intStartIndex;
var dimensionOneData = r.Fetch();
dimensionOneData.ItemsPerPage = intMaxRecords;
if (dimensionOneData != null && dimensionOneData.Rows != null)
{
var enUS = new CultureInfo("en-US");
intIndexCnt++;
foreach (var lstFirst in dimensionOneData.Rows)
{
var objPPCReportData = new PpcReportData();
objPPCReportData.Campaign = lstFirst[dimensionOneData.ColumnHeaders.IndexOf(dimensionOneData.ColumnHeaders.FirstOrDefault(h => h.Name == "ga:campaign"))];
objPPCReportData.Keywords = lstFirst[dimensionOneData.ColumnHeaders.IndexOf(dimensionOneData.ColumnHeaders.FirstOrDefault(h => h.Name == "ga:keyword"))];
lstPpcReportData.Add(objPPCReportData);
}
intStartIndex = intIndexCnt * intMaxRecords + 1;
}
else break;
}
}
Only one thing is problamatic that your query length shouldn't exceed around 2000 odd characters

What is faster: ScriptDb or SpreadsheetApp?

Let's say I have a a script that iterates over a list of 400 objects.
Each object has anywhere from 1 to 10 properties.
Each property is a reasonable size string or a somewhat large integer.
Is there a significant difference in performance of saving these objects into ScriptDB vs saving them into Spreadsheet(w/o doing it in one bulk operation).
Executive Summary
Yes, there is a significant difference! Huge! And I have to admit that this experiment didn't turn out the way I expected.
With this amount of data, writing to a spreadsheet was always much faster than using ScriptDB.
These experiments support the assertions regarding bulk operations in the Google Apps Script Best Practices. Saving data in a spreadsheet using a single setValues() call was 75% faster than line-by-line, and two orders of magnitude faster than cell-by-cell.
On the other hand, recommendations to use Spreadsheet.flush() should be considered carefully, due to the performance impact. In these experiments, a single write of a 4000-cell spreadsheet took less than 50ms, and adding a call to flush() increased that to 610ms - still less than a second, but an order of magnitude tax seems ludicrous. Calling flush() for each of the 400 rows in the sample spreadsheet made the operation take almost 12 seconds, when it took just 164 ms without it. If you've been experiencing Exceeded maximum execution time errors, you may benefit from both optimizing your code AND removing calls to flush().
Experimental Results
All timings were derived following the technique described in How to measure time taken by a function to execute. Times are expressed in milliseconds.
Here are the results from a single pass of five different approaches, two using ScriptDB, three writing to Spreadsheets, all with the same source data. (400 objects with 5 String & 5 Number attributes)
Experiment 1
Elapsed time for ScriptDB/Object test: 53529
Elapsed time for ScriptDB/Batch test: 37700
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Object test: 145
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Attribute test: 4045
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Bulk test: 32
Effect of Spreadsheet.flush()
Experiment 2
In this experiment, the only difference from Experiment 1 was that we called Spreadsheet.flush() after every setValue/s call. The cost of doing so is dramatic, (around 700%) but does not change the recommendation to use a spreadsheet over ScriptDB for speed reasons, because writing to spreadsheets is still faster.
Elapsed time for ScriptDB/Object test: 55282
Elapsed time for ScriptDB/Batch test: 37370
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Object test: 11888
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Attribute test: 117388
Elapsed time for Spreadsheet/Bulk test: 610
Note: This experiment was often killed with Exceeded maximum execution time.
Caveat Emptor
You're reading this on the interwebs, so it must be true! But take it with a grain of salt.
These are results from very small sample sizes, and may not be completely reproducible.
These results are measuring something that changes constantly - while they were observed on Feb 28 2013, the system they measured could be completely different when you read this.
The efficiency of these operations is affected by many factors that are not controlled in these experiments; caching of instructions & intermediate results and server load, for example.
Maybe, just maybe, someone at Google will read this, and improve the efficiency of ScriptDB!
The Code
If you want to perform (or better yet, improve) these experiments, create a blank spreadsheet, and copy this into a new script within it. This is also available as a gist.

Google calendar query returns at most 25 entries

I'm trying to delete all calendar entries from today forward. I run a query then call getEntries() on the query result. getEntries() always returns 25 entries (or less if there are fewer than 25 entries on the calendar). Why aren't all the entries returned? I'm expecting about 80 entries.
As a test, I tried running the query, deleting the 25 entries returned, running the query again, deleting again, etc. This works, but there must be a better way.
Below is the Java code that only runs the query once.
CalendarQuery myQuery = new CalendarQuery(feedUrl);
DateFormat dfGoogle = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T00:00:00'");
Date dt = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
myQuery.setMinimumStartTime(DateTime.parseDateTime(dfGoogle.format(dt)));
// Make the end time far into the future so we delete everything
myQuery.setMaximumStartTime(DateTime.parseDateTime("2099-12-31T23:59:59"));
// Execute the query and get the response
CalendarEventFeed resultFeed = service.query(myQuery, CalendarEventFeed.class);
// !!! This returns 25 (or less if there are fewer than 25 entries on the calendar) !!!
int test = resultFeed.getEntries().size();
// Delete all the entries returned by the query
for (int j = 0; j < resultFeed.getEntries().size(); j++) {
CalendarEventEntry entry = resultFeed.getEntries().get(j);
entry.delete();
}
PS: I've looked at the Data API Developer's Guide and the Google Data API Javadoc. These sites are okay, but not great. Does anyone know of additional Google API documentation?
You can increase the number of results with myQuery.setMaxResults(). There will be a maximum maximum though, so you can make multiple queries ('paged' results) by varying myQuery.setStartIndex().
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/javadoc/com/google/gdata/client/Query.html#setMaxResults(int)
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/javadoc/com/google/gdata/client/Query.html#setStartIndex(int)
Based on the answers from Jim Blackler and Chris Kaminski, I enhanced my code to read the query results in pages. I also do the delete as a batch, which should be faster than doing individual deletions.
I'm providing the Java code here in case it is useful to anyone.
CalendarQuery myQuery = new CalendarQuery(feedUrl);
DateFormat dfGoogle = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T00:00:00'");
Date dt = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
myQuery.setMinimumStartTime(DateTime.parseDateTime(dfGoogle.format(dt)));
// Make the end time far into the future so we delete everything
myQuery.setMaximumStartTime(DateTime.parseDateTime("2099-12-31T23:59:59"));
// Set the maximum number of results to return for the query.
// Note: A GData server may choose to provide fewer results, but will never provide
// more than the requested maximum.
myQuery.setMaxResults(5000);
int startIndex = 1;
int entriesReturned;
List<CalendarEventEntry> allCalEntries = new ArrayList<CalendarEventEntry>();
CalendarEventFeed resultFeed;
// Run our query as many times as necessary to get all the
// Google calendar entries we want
while (true) {
myQuery.setStartIndex(startIndex);
// Execute the query and get the response
resultFeed = service.query(myQuery, CalendarEventFeed.class);
entriesReturned = resultFeed.getEntries().size();
if (entriesReturned == 0)
// We've hit the end of the list
break;
// Add the returned entries to our local list
allCalEntries.addAll(resultFeed.getEntries());
startIndex = startIndex + entriesReturned;
}
// Delete all the entries as a batch delete
CalendarEventFeed batchRequest = new CalendarEventFeed();
for (int i = 0; i < allCalEntries.size(); i++) {
CalendarEventEntry entry = allCalEntries.get(i);
BatchUtils.setBatchId(entry, Integer.toString(i));
BatchUtils.setBatchOperationType(entry, BatchOperationType.DELETE);
batchRequest.getEntries().add(entry);
}
// Get the batch link URL and send the batch request
Link batchLink = resultFeed.getLink(Link.Rel.FEED_BATCH, Link.Type.ATOM);
CalendarEventFeed batchResponse = service.batch(new URL(batchLink.getHref()), batchRequest);
// Ensure that all the operations were successful
boolean isSuccess = true;
StringBuffer batchFailureMsg = new StringBuffer("These entries in the batch delete failed:");
for (CalendarEventEntry entry : batchResponse.getEntries()) {
String batchId = BatchUtils.getBatchId(entry);
if (!BatchUtils.isSuccess(entry)) {
isSuccess = false;
BatchStatus status = BatchUtils.getBatchStatus(entry);
batchFailureMsg.append("\nID: " + batchId + " Reason: " + status.getReason());
}
}
if (!isSuccess) {
throw new Exception(batchFailureMsg.toString());
}
There is a small quote on the API page
http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/1.0/reference.html#Parameters
Note: The max-results query parameter for Calendar is set to 25 by default,
so that you won't receive an entire
calendar feed by accident. If you want
to receive the entire feed, you can
specify a very large number for
max-results.
So to get all events from a google calendar feed, we do this:
google.calendarurl.com/.../basic?max-results=999999
in the API you can also query with setMaxResults=999999
I got here while searching for a Python solution;
Should anyone be stuck in the same way, the important line is the fourth:
query = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarEventQuery(cal, visibility, projection)
query.start_min = start_date
query.start_max = end_date
query.max_results = 1000
Unfortunately, Google is going to limit the maximum number of queries you can retrieve. This is so as to keep the query governor in their guidelines (HTTP requests not allowed to take more than 30 seconds, for example). They've built their whole architecture around this, so you might as well build the logic as you have.

Reading the next line using LINQ and File.ReadAllLines()

I have a file which represents items, in one line there's Item GUID followed by 5 lines describing the item.
Example:
Line 1: Guid=8e2803d1-444a-4893-a23d-d3b4ba51baee name= line1
Line 2: Item details = bla bla
.
.
Line 7: Guid=79e5e39d-0c17-42aa-a7c4-c5fa9bfe7309 name= line7
Line 8: Item details = bla bla
.
.
I am trying to access this file first to get the GUIDs of the items meet the criteria provided using LINQ e.g. where line.Contains("line1").. This way I will get the whole line, I will extract the GUID from there, I want to pass this GUID to another function which should access the file "again", find that line (where line.Contains("line1") && line.Contains("8e2803d1-444a-4893-a23d-d3b4ba51baee") and reads the next 5 lines starting from that line.
Is there any efficient way to do so?
I don't think it really makes sense to use LINQ entirely given the requirements of what you need to do and given that the index of the line in the array is fairy integral. I would also recommend doing everything in one pass - opening the file multiple times won't be as efficient as just reading everything once and processing it immediately. As long as the file is structured as well as you describe, this won't be terribly difficult:
private void GetStuff()
{
var lines = File.ReadAllLines("foo.txt");
var result = new Dictionary<Guid, String[]>();
for (var index = 0; index < lines.Length; index += 6)
{
var item = new
{
Guid = new Guid(lines[index]),
Description = lines.Skip(index + 1).Take(5).ToArray()
};
result.Add(item.Guid, item.Description);
}
}
I tried a couple different ways to do this with LINQ but nothing allowed me to do a single scan of the file. For this scenario you're talking about I would go down to the Enumerable level and use the GetEnumerator like this:
public IEnumerable<LogData> GetLogData(string filename)
{
var line1Regex = #"Line\s(\d+):\sGuid=([0123456789abcdefg]{8}-[0123456789abcdefg]{4}-[0123456789abcdefg]{4}-[0123456789abcdefg]{4}-[0123456789abcdefg]{12})\sname=\s(\w*)";
int detailLines = 4;
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(filename).GetEnumerator();
while (lines.MoveNext())
{
var line = (string)lines.Current;
var match = Regex.Match(line, line1Regex);
if (!match.Success)
continue;
var details = new string[detailLines];
for (int i = 0; i < detailLines && lines.MoveNext(); i++)
{
details[i] = (string)lines.Current;
}
yield return new LogData
{
Id = new Guid(match.Groups[2].Value),
Name = match.Groups[3].Value,
LineNumber = int.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value),
Details = details
};
}
}
