I'm not able to save response in PDF file generated from the APIs. I am using Jmeter for load testing and by the help of Jmeter I am calling the APIs.
In a Jmeter script I have 150 APIs. It's hard to go through all APIs to check the output. Is there any way to save the data generated by the APIs?
To save response from API you have to add Save Response to a file listener:
Right click on your API request.
Add -> Listener -> Save Response to a file.
Setup Variable Name containing saved file name.
At this step you may enable "Add Timestamp" setting, then date will be included in file suffix following format yyyyMMdd-HHmm_

I am developing JMeter script for an application in which I need to upload file. Let me mention the steps below:
As the application relies on Windows based authentication so I could not use JMeter for recording the steps. Instead I used Blazemeter Chrome extension.
On using the Blazemeter Chrome extension I observed that the details including the uploaded file were recorded in the Parameters section.
I checked the Use multipart/form-data checkbox and then ran the test. But it failed.
Then I used the network tab of chrome to capture the network traffic. Issue with this is that the details sent including the uploaded file were not even displayed in the Parameters section of network tab.
Then I deleted all details from the Parameters section and then entered details in the File Upload tab (note that multipart/form-data checkbox was selected). I ran the test again but it failed.
Then I downloaded Fiddler everywhere to capture network traffic. In this case the details were recorded in the Body -> Form-Data section. Here the issue is for the keys which correspond to file upload the value has weird values which I am not able to comprehend. Something similar to "%PDF-1.3......" and so on. What is this supposed to contain, the file path ?
Now I want to know where should I have the details in JMeter ? In the Parameters section or Body Data section or the File Upload section ? And should I select the checkbox corresponding to Use multipart/form-data.
Thanks in advance.

You could add HTTP Authorization Manager and supply your credentials, domain and so on there, see Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter for more details.
Make sure to copy the file you're uploading to JMeter's "bin" folder
If you need to pass the file in the body data put relative or full path to the file you're uploading in the "Files Upload" tab and make sure that "Use multipart/form-data" is NOT checked.
I try to save response of a HTTP Request with custom file extension. ContentType is application/octet-stream and saved file ends with _1.octet-stream by default. I use Save Responses to a file listener to save file.
Add Save responses to a file listener as a child of the request which output you would like to save
Configure it like:
Replace myfile.txt with your desired filename/extension
That's it, assuming the above configuration JMeter will store the file under the given name

Bit of Background, I am using Jmeter to search for a download url from a rest API with an Oauth authorisation token set from the rest API. Once I have this URL I am doing a HTTP request, GET with redirect automatically, keepAlive and browser-compatible headers all checked.
Hanging of this I have then attached a "Save response to a file" with the file name prefix set to "blob" (this will be a filename set by a parameter later) and Add timestamp to the file name checked.
The url in question points to a zip file that needs OAuth header token (which is set successfully) the whole test plan succeeds.
This is great and you can see looking at the results
You can see that there are 67821343 bytes downloaded by the HTTP Request this is what we are expecting to see as this is the size of the file around 67Mb
This is were it starts to go wrong however as the save file only has 10,240 KB is an OCTET-Stream File and renaming this file to a zip just does not work as it is not a complete zip file.
This is my issue the Save file is not saving all the information and only save 10,240KB, every single time.
What am i doing wrong?
Is there a better way to get this zip file?
Please help it is driving me mad.
As once I have downloaded it I then need to assess the contents of the zip file to prove that the download URL that we are being directed to contains the correct ZIP.
here's the RUB if i do it manually through a browser i get the file downloaded successfully and it is exactly the same size (67821343 Bytes) but it just doesn't save in Jmeter.
Add the following property to user.properties file:
httpsampler.max_bytes_to_store_per_request=73400320
This will allow JMeter to save files up to 70MB
You can also set this property to 0 - in this case JMeter will not truncate data (make sure you amend JVM heap so responses could fit in memory)

I have a requirement to download zip file from server through JMeter to test the peroformance but for me the downloaded files are shown in x-filler, i need to have the zip file downladed.
Please help me here
Thanks in Advance
Simulating file download event using JMeter is as simple as sending HTTP GET request using HTTP Request sampler.
If you need to save the response somewhere for later reuse or analysis add Save Response to a file listener as a child of the request which performs the download. Check out Performance Testing: Upload and Download Scenarios with Apache JMeter article for comprehensive explanation.
Be aware that storing responses will cause huge disk IO overhead during the load test so I would recommend ticking Save response as MD5 hash box under "Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler and use MD5Hex Assertion to compare the MD5 checksum of the response with some reference value.
To download any file, you need to extract it using Regular Expression Extractor.
Add the Regular Express Extractor to the request where you want to download and configure the fields as shown below. Use (?s)(^.*) as the expression to extract everything.
Add the Save Responses to a File sampler and configure the fields as shown below.
Execute the test plan. In the JMETER_HOME\bin\, you can see the zip file. Extract the zip file and validate.
The easiest way is to use your own code to download the file. The options are BeanShell Postprocessor or JSR223 Postprocesor.
I extracted file name from response header Content-Disposition, save it to varible, and the use variable for filename. Additional variable was defined on Test level, holding folder name where to save files.
I have scenario
Step#1 Login to the Application
Step#2 Search the Submission Number
Step#3 Go to the Account Detail
Step#4 Browse the file from the your system
Step#5 Click on the Submit button
I am able to do the same by the single user.
Need to do the same task through the multiple user.
Thanks in Advance
For parametrisation using single CSV file - use CSV Data Set Config
For parametrisation using multiple CSV files - use __CSVRead() function
If you need to simulate file upload with JMeter - use "Send Files With the Request" section of the HTTP Request sampler
