To run a big
load
test, it can be necessary to start the
load
test from multiple controllers. Consequently,
Silk Performer will generate multiple result folders - one folder per controller. Use the
Merge Results feature to merge the results into one result folder. This allows you to view all metrics in a single comprehensive report.
Note: Results from different projects cannot be merged.
-
On the
Results tab, in the
Data Processing group, click
Merge Results.
-
Drag two or more
load
test result folders from a file explorer onto the table or click
Add to browse for result folders.
-
Specify a master
load
test in the
Master column. Some values from the result files cannot be merged (like the project description). In such a case,
Performance Explorer will use the value of the master
load
test.
-
Select a
Merge type:
- absolute: In a report, the results will display with their actual start time on the time line. For example: If you started a
load
test on Controller B 10 seconds after you started the
load
test on Controller A, the results will display on the time line accordingly.
- relative: In a report, all results will display with the same start time on the time line, regardless of the actual start times of
the
load
tests.
-
Specify an
Interval for the merged .tsd files. The minimum interval (shown in the
Interval list) is the lowest common multiple of the intervals from all .tsd files that are located in the specified results folders.
-
Specify a
Target folder. The merged results will be stored in this folder.
-
Click
Merge.
When the results are merged successfully,
Performance Explorer displays an overview report. This newly created report has the workload type
Merged Workload, which contains all executed usergroups.
