How can I get current time in 24 hours format in JMeter.
I tried ${__time(hh:mm a,)} but it results in AM/PM format.
As per How to Use JMeter Functions guide JMeter's __time() function output can be controlled via SimpleDateFormat class patterns.
Looking into JavaDoc:
you don't need a letter
you need to use capital H for 0-24 hours or lowercase k for 1-23 hours
So change function to ${__time(HH:mm,)} and that should be it
In Apache JMeter 5.2, current time can be captured in User defined variable and then used in Rest payloads as following screenshot:
expression - ${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'.000+05:30',,PT0S,,)}
output - "2020-06-06T18:10:59.000+05:30"
Here, date and time format can be changed as per the need.
Once current date and time is captured in user defined variable then it can be used as "${now-date-time}" in REST requests.
It could also be possible that we face a scenario where there should be gap of, let's say, 1second between start time and end time while constructing request. In such case, following expressions can help:
now-date-time : ${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'.000+05:30',,PT0S,,)}
now-date-time-plus-one-second : ${__timeShift(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'.000+05:30',,PT1S,,)}
Following example better explains it:

We have below code for "Date" in LONG format in one of the requests in Jmeter
SubmittedDate":{"value":1672986618263}
_CreatedDate":{"value":1672986618264}
Please help me to how to handle to get current date and time in Long format during replay or run time
Thanks
It looks like to be the timestamp in milliseconds since the beginning of Unix epoch, in JMeter there is __time() function which returns current timestamp.
If you want the "CreatedDate" to be 1 millisecond larger than the SubmittedDate you can use __longSum() function
Something like:
SubmittedDate":{"value":${__time(,created)}}
_CreatedDate":{"value":${__longSum(${created},1,)}}

I am wondering about power automate flow and I issues I had.
I am trying to set up initialize variables for checking time (european standard time) in my rules.
Expression looks like this -
startOfHour(convertFromUtc(triggerOutputs()?['body/receivedDateTime'],'Central European Standard Time','t'), 't')
Under variables I have condition which (True/Not) like this -
YES - time is greater than 22:30 PM
NO - time is less than 8:00 AM
If condition is true, my e-mail is forwarded to another outlook mailbox.
If not, nothing happened.
But this flow doesn't work :D
Can you help me resolve it ?
Thanks a lot !

Given the information provided, I suggest the following:
Get the current time.
Convert it to the desired time zone. You can use the built in function to avoid calculation errors.
Convert only hour and minute to Integer. For example, 14:33 would be 1433.
Compare integers. This is: if time is greater than 2230 and less than 830, then forward email.
The flow might look like this:
I want to fetch record from the sys_user table which is updated at or after certain time stamp.
for that I have created rest request as
https:/service-now.com/api/now/v1//table/sys_user?sysparm_query=sys_updated_on>=javascript:gs.dateGenerate('2017-10-30','01:25:00')
I had converted current time which is in IST format into GMT and pass it to dateGenerate() function.
Problem statement -
I don't want to convert the IST to GMT, is there any way by which i can identify ServiceNow instance time zone at runtime and convert given time into that time stamp and get the users.
If i can pass this date and time in UTC format.
Ahoy!
This is a great question, and something that's quite difficult in ServiceNow (dealing with time-zones).
As such, I've written a tool to manage this for you. It's totally free!
The tool is called TimeZoneUtil, and can be found here:
https://snprotips.com/blog/2017/9/12/handling-timezones-in-servicenow-timezoneutil
You simply need to initialize a GlideDateTime object, set its' time-zone to IST, use setDisplayValue() to set its' time based on IST current time, then use .getValue() to get that same time in system time.
This is because getDisplayValue()/setDisplayValue() work based on time-zone, whereas setValue()/getValue() always return the corresponding system time.
EDIT: In order to make this a little more clear, I'll provide some example usage below.
var tz = new TimeZoneUtils(); //initialize with current time
gs.print(tz.getOffsetHours()); //prints out "-7" in my instance, as the system time is in Pacific.
tz.setTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata'); //sets the time-zone to IST/UTC+5.5
gs.print(tz.getOffsetHours()); //prints "5.5".
gs.print(tz.getGDT().getDisplayValue()); //Prints the current time in IST (2017-11-01 20:52:31 at the moment).
gs.print(tz.getGDT().getValue()); //Prints the current time in system time (2017-11-01 15:23:12 at present).
gs.print(new TimeZoneUtils().setTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata').getDisplayValue()); //Single line, also prints current time in IST: 2017-11-01 20:52:31
The first 6 lines there, demonstrate basic usage and explain how it works.
The eighth line however, demonstrates usage on a single line, which you can use inside a query string. For example:
sysparm_query=sys_updated_on>=javascript:new TimeZoneUtils().setTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata').getDisplayValue()
Hope this helps!

i want to control my sampler execution by using a random variable . I have a sequence of hits login,welcome,Bla,log out . i want the log out to be performed for 6/10 requests and let others do not login(so to speak 6 requests will perform the whole sequence including log out, 4 of them will perform will not perform log out ).How to achieve the same in JMETER
I have added a random variable rand and set it between 1-10 at the beginning of the thread group .Then just above Logout sampler i placed an IF controller were i check ${rand}>4 . How ever i always get all sequence executed . Please suggest what am i doing wrong
Your approach is a little bit weird, my expectation is that the problem is in the following areas:
Your IF Controller condition is wrong (check jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries)
Your random variable setting is wrong, i.e. it has the same value for all virtual users (threads) so they will either be executed all or none
So I would recommend using Throughput Controller or Switch Controller in order to set up this 60/40 distribution.
See Running JMeter Samplers with Defined Percentage Probability article for more details.
Random Variable in Jmeter is saved in long format be default so
${rand} > 4 won't work. You need to change
Condition to ${rand} > 4.0
or change Random Variable Output format to 00 (2 digits)
see Manual
This was accomplished by creating a combination of config element- random variable and an IF controller
1) a random variable was created with Minim and maxim value to meet above condition
2) and IF controller was able to check ${myrand}>4;
This had derived the desired result - thank you all
I'm doing some testing with while controller.
In my test it checks every 3 seconds for a correct response text and if condition is not met, it repeats.
I would like to track how long that while controller was running, repeating itself until the condition was correct.
Is there any way to do that?
You do it via JMeter Functions, to wit:
__time() - to get the current timestamp before entering the While Controller
__longSum() - to calculate the delta between 2 timestamps
Something like:
Before the While Controller starts put the following expression somewhere in your script:
${__time(,before)}
It will store the current timestamp into ${before} JMeter Variable
After the While Controller ends put the following expression somewhere in your script:
${__longSum(${__time(,)},-${before},)}
It will get the new current timestamp and calculate the delta by substracting ${before} variable value from it
Demo:
See How to Use JMeter Functions posts series for more information on using JMeter Functions.
you can use Counter and Bean Shell Post Processor.
Keep Counter Config Element inside the While Controller. The value of Count will be incremented in each iteration.
So, in if condition, you can add BeanShell Post Processor to the sampler inside If controller, and calculate the total time taked using the following formula:
count value * 3 = total seconds waited to reach If Condition.
Following is the placement of elements in the TestPlan:
While Controller
...Counter
...If Controller
......HTTP Sampler
.........Bean Shell Post Processor
Image reference:
Counter Configuration screenshot:
Bean Shell Post Processor code:
int count = Integer.parseInt(vars.get("count"));
int totalTime = count*3;
log.info("total time waited : " + totalTime);
vars.put("totalTime", totalTime);
Screenshot:
Note: the value is saved in totalTime variable, so you can refer the value in subsequent requests using ${totalTime}
