How to run selective thread group in jmeter - jmeter

Question

In my jmx test plan I have 10 thread groups. How to run a specific thread group in jmeter non gui mode.
In the above pic you can see I have 10 different thread groups and use case is that we might need to run only 2 thread groups to start the initial stages of tests.
I appreciate your help in advance.

Answer 1

Try this way
If you want to target each thread running:
- ${__P(TCRCSP1,)} - For thread Group 1
- ${__P(TCRCSP2,)} - For thread Group 2
- ${__P(TCRCSP3,)}...so on...
Pass the below property in each Thread group "Number of Threads (users)" field.
Now from the command line pass the value Zero for the threads which don't want to be executed and for rest the number of users like:
-JTCRCSP1=2 -JTCRCSP2=0 -JTCRCSP1=0....so on
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You can "disable" particular Thread Group by setting it's number of threads to 0 or to a negative value or to not a number, just take the same approach as you did for threads/rampup/iteration using __P() function
You can use Taurus tool as a wrapper for your JMeter test, a minimal Taurus YAML file which kick off a JMeter test plan with Thread Groups TCR CSP 5 and TCR CSP 6 enabled and others disabled will look like:
---
execution:
scenario:
script: test.jmx
modifications:
disable:
- TCR CSP 1
- TCR CSP 2
- TCR CSP 3
- TCR CSP 4
- TCR CSP 7
- TCR CSP 8
- TCR CSP 9
- TCR CSP 10
enable:
- TCR CSP 5
- TCR CSP 6
