To prevent your system from overloading, you can set quotas for Vuser activity. The Vuser quotas apply to Vusers on all load generators.

Number of Vusers that may be initialized at one time - all load generators. The maximum number of Vusers the load generator can initialize at a time (when an Initialize command is sent).

Sets the way the Vusers are loaded in a manual scenario. There are two methods available:

• Round-robin mode. Uses a round-robin algorithm to route client requests to the available load generators on a cyclical basis.

  This load method ensures that Vusers are distributed evenly, preventing an overload on any one load generator. It can also help improve performance, if the initialization stage of a script uses a lot of resources.

  In Vuser group mode, the Vusers in a group are routed using the round-robin method between all load generators, or the load generators allocated to the group, depending on the load generators selected.

• Sequential mode. (Default mode) Load Vusers sequentially on the load generators.

  Controller calculates the number of Vusers per load generator, and ramps up all Vusers, one load generator after another.

Controls how Vusers stop running when the Stop button is clicked:

• Wait for the current iteration to end before stopping. (Default) The Vuser completes the iteration it is running before stopping. The Vusers move to the Gradual Exiting status and exit the scenario gradually.

• Wait for the current action to end before stopping. The Vuser completes the action it is running before stopping. The Vusers move to the Gradual Exiting status and exit the scenario gradually.

• Stop immediately. The Vusers stop running immediately. The Vusers move to the Exiting status and exit the scenario immediately.

Instructs LoadRunner Professional to use a seed number for random sequencing. Each seed value represents one sequence of random values used for test execution. Whenever you use this seed value, the same sequence of values is assigned to the Vusers in the scenario.

This setting applies to parameterized Vuser scripts using the Random method for assigning values from a data file. It also affects the random percentage of recorded think time. For more information, see the Runtime settings documentation in the Virtual User Generator Help Center (select the relevant version).

Enable this option if you discover a problem when running the test and want to repeat the test using the same sequence of random values.
