How can I loop one csv file to another csv file in JMeter, where the first csv file contains all the login data and the other csv file contains the transaction data. I am supposed to run where 1 teller should process 30 transaction.
Go for __CSVRead() function.
You will not be able to use CSV Data Set Config as it is a Configuration Element and according to the JMeter Test Elements Execution Order all the configuration elements are being initialised at the very beginning of the test while your requirement is to read data based on user dynamically.

I have configured CSV dataset and inserted two records in the CSV file but while running the test case only one record is being used in the script. on the second iteration also same credentials are being sent
It's hard to say what exactly is wrong without seeing your CSV Data Set Config setup, however one thing is obvious: you don't have 2 iterations of the same virtual user, you have 2 virtual users.
Change Sharing Mode of the CSV Data Set Config to All threads and each virtual user will read the next line of the CSV file on each iteration:
We have a constrain in our application, For test data providing in JMeter execution (using CSV Data Set Config element) we are not supposed to provide duplicate test data and it won't accept in all the fields. So we kept unique test data (upto 8K data for 8k concurrent users) for all the fields in CSV format.
Here I have a manual intervention, After each test execution (i.e) 100 users, 1000 users up to 8000 users) we need to delete each row (WRT to users in thread group) in CSV file else the duplicate data will be fetching for next execution and result will be failed.
Here my questions is,
1. How Can i avoid repeated/duplicate test data or to avoid already executed data without deleting in CSV file.
2. During JMeter test execution with CSV files, How can we specify to take the data from the respective rows. For example 101th row, 1001th row & 7999th row (which contains 8000 rows of data)?
The easiest option will be using HTTP Simple Table Server, its READ command has KEEP=FALSE attribute so you will be able to feed your test with the unique data without having to physically remove it from the original CSV file.
You can install HTTP Simple Table Server plugin using JMeter Plugins Manager:
In general if your test doesn't need to be repeatable instead of keeping the data in the CSV file you can consider generating it on the fly using such JMeter Functions as:
__Random()
__RandomString()
__RandomDate()
__UUID()
etc.
We are trying to establish no of threads depending on the number of columns present in a csv file, and each thread should pick up data from respective rows of those columns.
can someone help us out in achieving the same.
So from the attached screenshot we would want 6 threads to be established and thread1 should be posting data under user1 itself, thread2 from user2 and so on.
To achieve this you can use CSV Data Set Config
How to set CSV Data Set Config?
Right Click on thread group
Navigate to Add > Config element
Click on CSV Data Set Config
Create one csv or txt file and CSV Data set config as per below attached screenshot.
Whenever you want to user your values, just provide ${user1}, ${user2} and so on.
For more details you can refer CSV Data Set Config from user manual.
How to login multiple users with different input in different threads in Jmeter using CSV data set config?
I have added CSV data set config but the thread is picking only the first entry and i m not able to see the responses for other user login
If you use CSV data set config which contains parameterized values which users(threads) will use while running script.
below is snapshot of jmeter of csv data set config which contain emp.csv file which contains values like,
nachiket,101,test
nikhil,102,test
harish,103,test
which are empname,empid,passwd respectively for 3 users.
if you run test with 3 users then thread1 will pick first and 2nd thread will pick 2nd val so on and you can repeat the file if it has less values than no of threads.
You need to provide enough loops/iterations as given one iteration only CSV Data Set Config will read only the first entry.
Try putting the request you want to parametrize under a Loop Controller, set enough loops and see whether it resolves your issue.
See Using CSV DATA SET CONFIG guide for more details.
I want to simulate a few hundred http request each with a different token and userId which I have in a database table.
What's the best way of setting up a jMeter load test to do this?
You can use JDBC Sampler to extract you data from DB to create a CSV and a JSR223 Sampler using groovy (add groovy-all.jar in jmeter/lib folder) to write the extracted values to a CSV file.
Then in the real plan , use CSV DataSet Config using the generated file.
Depending on how you want to use the dataset, you will play with Sharing mode attribute.
If you want to do both steps within the same plan you can use a Setup thread Group that will contain the JDBC Sampler part to write the CSV File, this will use 1 thread and then
the other part in regular Thread Group that will use the number of users you need.
One way is to put all your parameters into a csv file and use CSV Data Set Config in jmeter. Right click on the thread you have created - add- Config Element- CSV Data Set Config. Remember you need to set the Number of Threads(users) to match the number of users in your CSV file.
