I have following requirement
1. Keep responses in an external xml file.
2. Hit the API and compare the response with external response (Kept in xml file. )
3. Also while comparison, I have to ignore dynamic components like , etc.
4. Also I have to ignore sequence of parameters.
Can you please if any such utility/program to do so in JMeter
Thanks in advance

I believe it makes more sense to use XML Schema Assertion. This way you will validate your XML response syntax and structure, elements and attributes, number and order of attributes, data types, etc. but this assertion won't care in the slightest about the content.
You can ask the .xsd schema from the developers, most likely they have it, if not the majority of IDEs can do this, there are even online services.

I'm using Google Data Studio to visualize results from various queries (from different tables within the same BigQuery-database).
For this reason, I created and use multiple data-sources-connectors. Each one of them has a SQL query included and makes use of an defined input parameter (which can be changed by report editors) - called "userid". It is the same id for all queries and resulting charts.
However, when I click "Manage URL parameters", I'm not allowed to use the same URL parameter for more than one data source (instead they are called ds0, ds1, ds2 etc - although they all end up being used as "userid").
If I add a data source under File - Report Settings, a new field "userid" appears, which I can alter - this will update ALL charts in the report with the very same userid (as expected). This works, but I do want to make use of an url which delivers an report with all updated queries depending on ONE userid.
Therefore, I guess I'm overseeing something - it should be possible to just use one query parameter to update the same "userid" for all queries in all data connectors? Or have I overlooked the possibility to fire multiple queries within one data source connector? Or is it expected to create a looong url full of redundant query parameters in this case?
I'm curious for your input!
Best regards :)
There does not seem to be any good solution for this.
For now the best workaround seems to be to just repeat the parameter multiple times -- it's ugly but it works. For example, use the URL parameter mapping screen to call the parameter u1, u2, etc., and then just pass all of them:
?params={"u1":"foo","u2":"foo"}
(URL encoded of course)
The ugliness is mostly for us developers: it violates our sense of DRY and clean code, and makes the URL much longer than it needs to be. However, most people don't care or know about the URL parameters so its irrelevant to them.
The bigger downside is that when the URL is distributed to clients (bookmarks, mobile apps), every time new data sources are added that require the same URL parameters, a new URL has to be distributed to clients for no good reason. A workaround for this is to build the URL dynamically via a simple redirector function.
This issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180705297 is a feature request to implement this capability.
If you group the elements that you want to control with the same parameter (select and then shift G) then it will give you options to select the data source and the params box to apply to the group.
I am getting some numerical data with API from URL and I am looking for a way to make some mathematical operations in apache nifi before putting data to file directory. Thanks already now.
By the way, I am using InvokeHTTP processor to get data and to put file in somewhere I am using PutFile processor. I searched some related websites but I could not find out a working way.
Try using QueryRecord processor and Define Record Reader/Writer controller services to read/write the flowfile.
Add new property to the QueryRecord processor by using Apache calcite SQL query with your mathematical operations on flowfile.
Results of the SQL query will be added to the outgoing flowfile in your desired format.
Ultimately the answer depends on whether the data you're working with is in the content of the FlowFile or in the attributes. If the data is small enough and it's only a couple operations, the suggested approach would be to work with the data as attributes and use NiFi's expression language to do the transformations.
There is a section of mathematical operations[1] in the Apache documentation[2]. The operations range from simple operand like plus/minus to exposing the java.lang.Math static methods.
[1] https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/expression-language-guide.html#numbers
[2] https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html
You can try ExecuteStreamCommand if you want to intake the whole file and then run operations. Alternatively, you can fiddle around with the variables on the flowfile - depending on how large your operation is.
For example if you have some initial variables you can include them in the name of your file and then extract them, run the operations within the variables of the flowfile, then add to the bottom of the original file
My question is - if I run a test via Jmeter, for example , if it's a site which enables you to book a flight, and you choose your source and destination when you record it.
Is it possible to pass different values to the destination field? I mean, maybe a txt file with some destinations and pass it to the Jmeter test and then, you will have some tests which each of them is running with a different destination?
If yes, how can I do it?
It's not necessary that it will be a txt file. Just a way to pass different values to one parameter.
Important: I'm using blazemeter plugin for chrome.
Thanks a lot,
appreciated.
You can use CSV Data Set Config. It is very easy to use for parameterizing variables in the test plan.
Check this article on blazemeter to understand the CSV Data Set Config quickly.
Depending on what you're trying to achieve you can go for:
HTML Link Parser. See Poll Example which shows how you can use it for selecting random values from inputs
You can extract all the possible values from the previous response using a Post-Processor, most probably CSS Selector Extractor and configure each thread to use its own (or random) value from the input
And last, but not the least, you can use an external data source like .txt or .csv file and utilize __StringFromFile() function or CSV Data Set Config so each thread (virtual user) would read the next value from file instead of using recorded hard-coded values.
I need to know how to update the values in nifi processors using Rest API.
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/index.html
For example: I have used below processor structure
GetFile>SplitText>ExtractText>ReplaceText>ConvertJSONToSQL>PUTSQL.
I have passed following inputs for above processors.,
FileLocation(GetFile).
validation(ExtractText).
ReplacementValue(ReplaceText).
DBCP ConnectionPool,username and pwd for SQL.
I just need to use nifi rest api client to write above inputs into processors.
For example : If I give Processor name and input file in Rest API Client then it will write into processor.
Please stop me if anything i'm doing wrong.
Help Appreciated and Tell me any other ways is possible?
Mahen,
You can issue a PUT request to /processors/{id} and provide the new value of the "Replacement Value" property. You'll need to provide JSON body in the request to do this, and you can see the structure by expanding the endpoint noted above on the documentation link you provided, then clicking ProcessorEntity > ProcessorDTO > ProcessorConfigDTO to see the pop-up dialogs with the element listing and examples. You can also quickly get the current values of the processor by issuing a GET request to /processors/{id}.
Working in front-end we never know the back-end language so how can I know whether the
data coming from back-end is in json or in text or in html or in xml. We don't have an authority or access to back-end language.
Some languages declare this in the first line or 2... Why don't you just read the first few lines or the code?
Many languages will allow you to parse XML, not ideal to wrap it in a catch but it would work. However, you neglected to state what language you are using.
However, it may be worth while agreeing on a format, something like XML which you can then de-serialize ?
You can check Content-Type in Response Headers to know the response data type.
