I have created a Test plan in which there is date and time being passed in the parameters...I need to change the parameters dynamically so that when I run the test plan a new date and time is generated....the parameters look like this:
Name. Value
request : 2018-04-08 22:13:51
What should I do?
You can use __time function
The time function returns the current time in various formats.
Enter your format as the first paramater yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
Enter your variable name as second parameter:
${__time(yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss, Value)}

I have a CSV file that passes the values of http request parameters. It works as desired except for the field that is a date value. It fails not recognizing it as a date. Now I can type it in ex. 2019-04-05 or assign it to a user define variable ex. MyDate = ${_time(date format)} or myDate = 2019-04-05 that works. Any ideas?
I have searched but can't find the right solution for this scenario. Appreciate any help.
I'm building a dataflow where I want to filter rows based on the current time. I need to filter these based on the hour and minute.
I thought I could use a Date Time block. When I use that, the output value shows "today".
But when I bind the output of the Date Time block to the input on a Date Format block or my symbol, the value of the bound property is null.
I'm looking for a way to get the current date and time, preferably with a way to control how often the value is updated (once per minute would be enough for example).
Using a Script block works. The script to get the current timestamp with the precision of one minute as a string:
dateFormat(new DateTime(), "y-MM-dd HH:mm")
You can connect the output of the Script block to the input on a block that expects a "date", such as a Date Format block.
For the value to be updated, you must invoke the script block. To do this, a Stopwatch block can be used. In my case, I have it set to update every 10 seconds.
Dears,
I have a date value that has no milliseconds, and I want to concatenate System Timestamp milliseconds to that date.
I use GET_DATE_PART, but it didn't work.
What can I do regarding this?
Firstly generate the values in two ports. One for original date value and the other for sysdate value. Take a variable port and substring sysdate value until the date before the milliseconds and print just the milliseconds. Finally in the other port concatenate your original date value with milliseconds. If you can be able to post your codes, it would be more helpful to provide you relevant codes
Create a variable port in expression transformation with the below logic and pass it to the next level, like:
ADD_TO_DATE(i_DATE,'MS',TO_INTEGER(TO_CHAR(SYSTIMESTAMP(),'MS')))
Replace MS with NS if you want Nanoseconds.
Hope this helps!
I have CSV (Users.CSV)which contains 10000 Username, Firstname,LastName and Email ID which are unique. In one of the POST request in my test plan, I need to pass date. I can POST data only once for same date. How i can handle this using CSV or any other way?
I can think of two options:
1. Drag same date for all the 10000 entry in same Users.CSV. And then Copy paste Username, Firstname,LastName and Email ID again in same CSV and then drag next date.
2. Maintain two CSV files, One for Users and one for Date. Date.csv will have 10000 entries for same date and after 10001 will contains next date.
On both the solutions i will need to maintain sample count as i will need to delete those many entries from CSV for the next run.
Can someone please share any better option to achieve this?
Use __time() function to generate the current date (or combine it with __longSum() function if you need past/future timestamps)
By default __time() function returns current time in milliseconds since beginning of Unix epoch, however you can control the format using SimpleDateFormat patterns.
See How to Use JMeter Functions posts series for more information on above two and other JMeter functions
You can use two compoenent to resolve this issue:-
User Defined Variables
BeanShell-PreProcessor
Step 1: Define a vraible in script using user definded variables to keep counter of date, so that same date should not be used aagain while making that particular POST request.
Step 2: Use variable defined in step 1, and write script to get unique date in pre-processor. This pre-processor should be added as child to that particular POST request.
sample code for pre-processor:-
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
int dateCounter=Integer.parseInt(vars.get("dateCounter"));
Date currentDate = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMM/yyyy");
long milliseconds = (long) dateCounter * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
Date previousDate = new Date(currentDate.getTime() - milliseconds);
String strDate = date.format(previousDate);
vars.put("date",strDate);
dateCounter = dateCounter - 1;
vars.put("dateCounter",Integer.toString(dateCounter));
Note that we are using last 1000 days in the example, you can make changes as per your need. Now this date -a Jmeter variable can be used through out the thread group and once you generate a date using that partilculare POST sampler, a new date would be generated for next request.
We have a requirement where date time values would be passed to the report parameter which is of "String" date type (and not "DateTime"). The report parameter would be a queried one i.e. it would have a list of values in which the passed value should fall in.
The strange part is that if the date time value passed to this parameter is passed in this format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM then only it succeeds otherwise a error is displayed (If month/date/hour/minute/second is having a single digit value then we need to pass single digit value to parameter as well).
Assuming that the report server picks this format from the "regional settings" in control panel, we tried modifying the date & time formats as yyyy-mm-dd & HH:mm:ss but the outcome was the same.
On researching more I found some suggestions specifying to change the language property in the rdl (I was not able to figure out how) but this would not be the solution I am looking for. I also found another topic here but it didn't provide the solution we are looking for.
I need to understand if this format is controlled at the report server level & is it configurable. It would be great if someone can provide some guidance.
Thanks.
Format(,"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM ")
Then it doesn't matter what the regional settings are.
