1.In My Test plan I have 5 Scripts(5 Thread groups)
2.For every 1 hour once i want to trigger this script.(All the thread groups should run once)
3.Once the first run is completed it should wait one hour time again the script should run..
Can Any Help me please how to do this scenario
The easiest way is using your operating system scheduling mechanism, i.e. :
Windows Task Scheduler
Linux Crontab
MacOSX launchd
Alternative way would be running JMeter via continuous integration server like Jenkins, this way you will get scheduling, parameterization, build history and performance trend charts via Performance Plugin
One more option would be running a JMeter test non-stop, i.e. set Thread Groups to run Forever. You can create a 1-hour delay between iterations by adding Test Action sampler configured to pause threads for 3600000 milliseconds. Optionally you can add Synchronizing Timer to act as a "rendezvous point" so Test Action sampler would be executed by all threads simultaneously.

How to run JMeter script, every 5 minutes for one hour without using Jenkins. Perovsuly use schedulers do that but in latest JMeter not supporting schedules.
Appreciate help on this
You can amend your Thread Group settings to run the Samplers for 1 hour followed by 5 minutes delay
The delay can be introduced using Flow Control Action Sampler or Constant Timer or both.
If you need rather separate script executions you can use your operating system scheduling mechanisms like Windows Task Scheduler or Linux Crontab
We observed that while executing the below scenario, calls at the end of script execution are failing and they are counted as part of error %,
Scenario:
Number of threads : 100 (even for 50 , 150 200 users, only the calls which are shown at the end of results tree are failing)
Ramp up period : 5s
Scheduler duration : 600s
We also observed that though the sceduled time is for 10mins(600s), jmeter runs for 11mins. Is there any option in jmeter for a ramp-down period?
This may happen when JMeter forcibly terminates running threads, ideally that should not be happening and threads should be stopped gracefully.
The most possible reason is simply lack of resources as you are using JMeter in a not very correct way.
You should not use JMeter GUI for tests execution, GUI mode is only for tests development and debugging
You should not use any listeners during test execution. Run your test in non-GUI mode, store results into .jtl file and after test finishes either generate HTML Reporting Dashboard or open the results file with the listener of your choice, but do this after test completion, not during the test.
With regards to "ramp-down" period: there are some custom Thread Groups available via JMeter Plugins project like Stepping Thread Group or Ultimate Thread Group which allow you to set up arbitrary rampdown patterns:
I have a test with 100 concurrent users. In this test I have built in random waittimes. How can I see how many users are active (not by a wait time) by time? I'm installing the JMeter plugins and tried the Active Threads over time listener but it doesn't show the wait times. Is there another listener what I can use? Or can I create a log?
In this graph you see a run with one thread. In this run i have build in some waittimes. In the graph i dont see that the active threads going to 0 if there is an waittime. The active threads are the whole run 1.
I've recorded a test script of web application (extJS). The test logs into application (I used login and password saved in .txt file and CSV Data Set Config element), makes some calculations with external webservice and adds some elements to database. It works fine but...
I'm not sure that all of my users do these things at the same time... Is there any way to configure it?
E.g 100 users do the same scenario at the same time?
You can see the exact number of concurrent users via Active Threads Over Time Listener available via JMeter Plugins
If you're not happy with what you're seeing and expect more concurrent users you can consider 2 options:
Increase "Loop Count" on Thread Group level as when JMeter thread has finished executing all samplers and doesn't have any more to run and no loops to iterate - it's being shut down.
Add Synchronizing Timer. It pauses all the threads until the desired amount is reached and releases them at exactly the same moment so you will be able to test i.e. what happens when 100 users are trying to log in at the same time.
I am running 24 Hr load test on jmeter with 3256 threads. But even after 28 hrs some of the threads keep running and does not get ramp down. There are several errors in the run.
Even when I choose to stop the threads,"Shutting down all the threads, please be patient" Pop up appears and stays forever and no threads are ramping down.
For your information:- Number of threads-3256; Ramp up period-300; Loop Count-192
Considering all the think/wait time in the script , scenario should run for 24Hrs.
How can I close all the threads forcefully.
There are following options available:
JMeter is listening to shutdown messages on port 4445. There are 2 scripts in /bin folder of your JMeter installation:
shutdown.cmd(sh) - send graceful shutdown request to all threads
stoptest.cmd(sh) - force stop threads
Use Test Action Sampler "Stop Now" option for "All Threads"
Use Beanshell Sampler with the following code:
SampleResult.setStopTestNow(true);
However in that way you can get lots of errors caused by force shutting down of test threads which will be in your test results.
Actually I think that behavior your're experiencing is being caused by lack of resources on your load generator (JMeter) side. Try following recommendations from JMeter Performance and Tuning Tips guide to see if it helps (you don't need to wait all 24h, it will be enough to wait till all threads are ramped up).
If adjusting JMeter parameters won't help it looks like that you'll need to consider distributed testing and generate the load from more than one host.
