Hi all,

Is there a way to limit the loadrunner iterations/requests issued by each vuser to those that I want?

Example:
I am using a java code vuser script and set the vusers to run as threads.
I have a 30 minute test with 100 vusers with think times.
I want only 2000 transactions processed in the entire test.

But when I look at the vuser log files, I see 1500 iterations/requests per vuser => 150000 requests in the entire test.

Your valuable input at the earliest is highly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Hi all,

Since I did not get any answers yet...let me try to keep it simple and get clarification to my basic questions first --> What does iteration mean in loadrunner?
Is iteration same as the user request issued by loadrunner?

I am kind of stuck at point in my testing. Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your valuable input.

You can control the number of iteration by using thinktime and paceing time.


You have 30 mint and you are able to execute 1500 iterations with 1 user (assuming, need data on this). It mean 1 user in 1 mint he is doing 50 iterations(1500/30).

But you need only 1000 in 30 mints, so u need 33 iteration in 1 min(1000/30).

You have extra of 17 iteration.
What is the actual time (for 1500) taken by each iteration ? = 60sec/50 = 1.2 sec

so for 17 iteration , the total seconds are 17 * 1.2 = 20 seconds.

So your think time between each iteration should be 20 seconds.

If you are using more then one users, then u should considered both thinktime and pacing time.

Hope it make you clear.
