Error "Connection reset" in JMeter (SOAP XML web-service) - jmeter

I have the next test plan in JMeter:
on the screenshot you can see the settings for the 1st ThreadGroup, wich has 50% of common amout of request in test plan (in each Thread Group are 10 different subrequests placed).
So, +1 request per second is added in average using these settings.
Then I ran this test and saw this picture (Error % column):
I save errors in file and all these errors have the same text:
<sample t="30129" lt="0" ts="1356710138314" s="false" lb="WebService(SOAP) Request 1" rc="000" rm="**Connection reset**" tn="jp#gc - Stepping Thread Group1 3-247" dt="text" by="0"/>
Server's cpu screenshot:
and for database:
After the errors have appeared my comp started work slowly and slowly (although the errors stopped to appear further)...
And in the same time the server's cpu progressively dropped to 0.
Could you tell me, please,
What is the reason of this error?
Have I reached the server timeout? (Because Max is more than 30s in the table).
UPD. I have rerun test with next settings: 1000 users per 02:46:40 (+1 Thread Group per 10 second and 10 requests inside each new Thread in the Loop).
I.e. I have reduced the time of test and total Thread Groups by 2 times, but save intensivity of Thead's adding.
The results are the same (including cpu usage on the server).
I've received the error «Connection reset» after 990 thread started. There are screenshots:
Any idea?

First, WebService(SOAP) Request is not the best way to test Webservices in JMeter, it will be deprecated in upcoming 2.9 version.
HTTP Sampler is the one to choose as it performs much better.
Second, Connection Reset means your server has cut connection. It could be coming from the CPU which seems high but it's not sure.
If what you call "my comp" is the computer hosting JMeter started working slowly then your JMeter instance is overwhelmed by the number of threads (2003 or more?) you've configured. It can come from a lot of factors, read this:

Latency shown in JMETER is much less when I use faster internet connection & run my Test. Is it due to faster internet or some other factors too?

I created a test in JMETER
Add > Sampler > HTTP Request = Get
Server Name = dainikbhaskar.com
No. of threads(users) = 1
Ramp-up period (seconds) = 1,
Loop Count = 1
(My internet connection is a broadband one with the speed 50 MBPS)
I ran the test, ran successful, latency comes as 127 & sometimes less than 100 in subsequent executions.
I switched off my Wi-Fi, connected my laptop with mobile hotspot & executed the same test.
Now the latency is 607, 932, 373, 542, 915
I believe it's happening due to INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED as rest of the inputs are same.
Please confirm whether my perception is correct ? :)
It is correct.
You can also get network latency from https://www.speedtest.net/ or https://fast.com/
Latency is the time from sending the request until first byte of response arrives, so called "Time to first byte"
In JMeter's world:
Latency is Connect Time + Time to send the request + time to get the first byte of response
Elapsed time is Latency + time to get the last byte of the response.
More information:
JMeter Glossary
Understanding Your Reports: Part 1 - What are KPIs?
If you get 5x times higher latency for other connection it means that the majority of time is spend for the packets to travel back and forth. You can see the more precise picture by looking at Network tab of your browser developer tools or using a special solution like Lighthouse

why soak test is ended before the time i set in jmeter?

i set up a 16-hour soak test in jmeter. use a csv file for different users for 10000 users. use ultimate thread group with these settings:
one row
start threads count: 20
initial delay: 0
start up time : 60 sec
hold for load : 57600 sec
shut down time : 10
i run the test 3 times. all of them ended in 8-9 hours.
on the server pc, i look for some settings of iis but didnt see anything.
the second day, in view result tree there was a response such that:
sampler result page
response message: non http response message: en established comnection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
does jmeter any limitation or iis have some timeout value?
JMeter doesn't have any internal "timeouts" for the test, it might be the case you test has.
For example I can think of 2 possible options:
Your CSV Data Set Config has either Recycle on EOF set to True or Stop thread on EOF set to False so when all 10000 lines are used the test stops
Your Ultimate Thread Group is configured to Stop Thread or Stop Test on the error and your test terminates when error occurs
The exact reason for stopping the test can be found in the jmeter.log file

How to pause sending request Jmeter for certain time when getting 502

I am currently doing performance Testing for the application.. We need to test with number of concurrent users (eg. 300). We are using Stepping Thread group and it is working fine..
The test is about 38 mins. At some point, when the server memory is overloaded the memory is cleaned and getting restarted takes 10 to 20 seconds during that time we are getting 502 - Bad Gateway response..
We have almost 6 Modules (each is in Transaction controller) and each controller has almost 20 to 30 api calls)
I just wanted to pause 20 seconds when first we encounter 502.. Is it possible to do that? I can use If controller but i can not add for all the 20 calls is that previous sample is OK which is time taking process. Is there any other way?
I would check ResponseCodes in PostProcessor and in case it is 502 Bad Gateway, I would get the current thread to sleep using Java Tread and Jmeter Api using
JMeterThread getThread() from JMeterContext.
JMeterContext jmctx = JMeterContextService.getContext();
JMeterThread currentThread = jmctx.getThread();
currentThread.sleep(20000);
I am not sure about that currentThread.sleep(20000); because I need to check if JMeterThread inherits sleep() from Java Thread.
Checking it locally.

JMeter - Response time keeps increasing

I am using JMeter for load testing. I have noticed that the response time it shows keeps increasing until the test plan has finished running.
I have 3 thread groups with the following settings:
Number of threads: 900, 180, 180
Rampup: 0
Loop count: 20
Each of the threads has a constant throughput controller with the following settings:
Throughput: 900, 180, 180
Jmeter Test Plan http://cl.ly/UPhC/jmeter_test_plan.png
I don't understand why the response time keeps increasing from the beginning until the end of the test plan execution.
Maybe the system under test is creating objects and provoking garbage collections. That won't be a problem at first, but will get worst as the test progresses. Do a profiling of the JVM of the system under test with Visual VM or similar.
The problem could be the target system.
But if you are running your plan in GUI mode then it can explain your issue particularly View Results Tree listener which exists for DEBUGGING Test plan and absolutely not for GUI Load Test.
Read this:
http://www.ubik-ingenierie.com/blog/jmeter_performance_tuning_tips/
So fix is:
- Run your test in NON GUI mode and keep only Summary report
You can after test reload result file.
