How to run jmeter jmx files parallely from single command prompt - jmeter

I have 5 different jmx files in my project. I need to do performance testing by running all these jmx files parallely. Currently i'm opening 5 different jmeter command prompt instance and triggering the execution.
Is there any way i can execute all these jmx files from 1 jmeter command prompt?

Depending on your operating system the options are in:
Linux: there is a parallel command, you can go for something like:
parallel --gnu << 'EOF'
jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result2.jtl
etc.
EOF
Windows: you can create a batch script assuming start command something like:
start jmeter -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
start jmeter -n -t test2.jmx -l result2.jtl
etc.
As a cross-platform unified solution you can consider using Taurus tool as a wrapper for your JMeter script you can kick off multiple JMeter tests in parallel using simple declarative YAML syntax like:
---
execution:
- scenario:
script: test1.jmx
- scenario:
script: test2.jmx
- scenario:
script: test3.jmx
#etc
See Taurus - Working with Multiple JMeter Tests for more details.

You need to use some other tools like Ant or Maven or jenkins for that.

How to run multiple jmx scripts together in JMeter

Praveen, I don't think this is currently possible in JMeter to execute multiple .jmx files from single command , but I would suggest adding all 5 scripts in a single .jmx file if possible in your scenario.

other commands executed failed after JMeter command-line

execute JMeter test in command-line and deal with the output files
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l output.jtl
copy output.jtl output_A.jtl
after execute this file, I find that the 2nd line copy... is not executed.
Actually, jmeter will be executed for a while, and the subsequent lines may be ignored.
Now I put jmeter in another file and call it from the main command file. Can I put them into one file?
How can I deal with such situation?
Maybe you need to add && between your commands like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l output.jtl && copy output.jtl output_A.jtl

Jmeter displays doubled results when running in non gui mode

I have a Test plan which when I run in the Gui Mode execute the sampler one time, but when I start the Test Plan from the command line I get the sampler to be running twice.
I have deleted the result.jtl file to insure that the results are not accumulated.
Without seeing your test plan it's hard or even impossible to say what's the reason as there are too many possible options, the most straightforward I can think of is:
You have a Listener (or two) somewhere in the test plan configured to write data into the same file which you specify via -l command-line argument
You have resultcollector.action_if_file_exists=APPEND property defined somewhere
So try out the following way of running the test:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl -f -Jresultcollector.action_if_file_exists=DELETE
where:
-f forces JMeter to overwrite the .jtl results file
resultcollector.action_if_file_exists=DELETE property does the same for Listeners

Configure to start JMeter as systemd service

I generally use "nohup" to start Jmeter, Instead of using Cmd all the time, i have decided to configure a systemd service which runs the Jmeter all the time.
i have this below command: which basically run the jmeter and logs the output
nohup /app/jmeter/apache-jmeter-5.3/bin/jmeter -j /app/server-1/jmeter/logs/jmeter-traffic.log -n -t /app/jmeter/inputfile.jmx > /dev/null 2>&1 &
i Have created a .service file which runs the above command on
ExecStart=/app/jemter/apache-jmeter-5.3/bin/jmeter -j /app/jmeter/logs/jmeter-log -n -t /app/jmeter/inputfile.jmx > /dev/null 2>&1 &
when i started the service - i encountered various errors.
EX: class path contains multiple bindings
EX: failed to start the service
EX: failed at step EXEC spawing
EX: an error occured at arg: >
Is this the correct way of starting the service or should i be creating the shell script file to include the above command.
systemd knows nothing about your > operator so I would recommend leaving the command as it is:
ExecStart=/app/jmeter/apache-jmeter-5.3/bin/jmeter -j /app/jmeter/logs/jmeter-log -n -t /app/jmeter/inputfile.jmx
If you don't want to see JMeter output in the journal you can amend your systemd unit configuration like:
[Service]
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=journal
I would also suggest adding -l command line argument so you could store the results into a .jtl results file for further analysis

How can i create HTML report in JMeter using Bean shell sampler in tear down thread?

I want to create an HTML report automatically after running each test in JMeter, also I want to create a folder dynamically with the current timestamp as a folder name for placing the report on my local drive. So how can we do this operation using Bean Shell sampler in tear down thread group?
Your approach is not very good as it violates 2 major JMeter Best Practices:
You will need a Listener in order to write down the results and using Listeners is a performance anti-pattern
Since JMeter 3.1 it's recommended to use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for scripting
So I would recommend:
Run your JMeter test in non-GUI mode and generate dashboard after it
Use your operating system date and time command to create the folder with the timestamp
Windows example:
jmeter -f -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl -e -o results-%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%
Linux example:
jmeter -f -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl -e -o results-`date +%Y-%m-%d`

HTML Report in JMeter 5.1 after distributed execution not being generated correctly

The current setup is as follows: 4 Ubuntu boxes one master and 3 slaves. I've been encountering the following issues when executing the tests from command-line in distributed fashion.
If I execute the tests and try to generate the HTML report, JMeter attempts to create the files after each of the machines finish their runs, this causes conflicts as the first machine that finished had already created the HTML folder.
./jmeter -r -n -t ./Jmeter_Performance_PoC.jmx -l ./TestResults.csv -e -o TestResults
If I execute the tests and just generate the CSV report to then generate the HTML report from the CSV file, the report gets generated, but JMeter is not using the files full information, it is not identifying the different thread groups nor is it displaying the execution information per slave.
./jmeter -r -n -t ./Jmeter_Performance_PoC.jmx -l ./TestResults.csv
./jmeter -g ./TestResults.csv -o ./results
Is there a way of having JMeter generate the consolidated report in distributed execution without having override conflicts?
Just use __machineIP() or __machineName() as a prefix or postfix for the Thread Groups / Samplers labels - this way you (and JMeter) will be able to distinguish the results coming from the different slaves.
