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.

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, LoadRunner Professional loads a proportional number of Vusers from each group as follows:

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

Schedule by Vuser group

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.
