# Schedule by scenario or group

After you have designed a manual scenario, you can schedule the participating Vuser groups/scripts to run as part of a scenario schedule.

You can schedule all the groups/scripts to run together on one schedule, or you can define a separate schedule for each Vuser group. For UI details, see Scenario Schedule pane.

Note: The following limits apply when running a test in Controller:

- A maximum of 65535 Vusers per group.

- A maximum of 65535 groups per scenario.

In this topic:

## Schedule by scenario

When you schedule by scenario, all the Vuser groups participating in the scenario are run simultaneously. That is, the schedule defined for running the scenario is applied to all the Vuser groups concurrently, and each action is applied proportionately to all the Vusers groups.

For example, take a scenario that includes 3 participating Vuser groups as follows:

Group Name | Number of Vusers
--- | ---
Group1 | 10
Group2 | 20
Group3 | 30
Total | 60

When scheduling by scenario, if the schedule instructs to load 30 Vusers when it starts running, OpenText Professional Performance Engineering loads a proportional number of Vusers from each group as follows:

Group Name | Number of Vusers
--- | ---
Group1 | 5
Group2 | 10
Group3 | 15
Total | 30

Note: The same principle applies when viewing the scenario in percentage mode.

## Schedule by Vuser group

Note: For scenarios in Vuser group mode only.

When you schedule by Vuser group, each Vuser group participating in the scenario runs on its own separate schedule. That is, for each Vuser group, you can specify when to start running the Vuser group, how many Vusers in the group to start and stop running within specified time intervals, and how long the group should continue running.
