Creating Groups of Projects

To create a group of projects:

1. Launch Send Master and select File, and then Batch Processing.

2. Select File, and then New Group.

3. Enter a name for the new group.

4. Define the project group:

   1. From the Run In drop-down list, select one of the following options to determine how the projects in the group run.

      Field or Control	Description
      Parallel	Run all projects in the group at the same time.
      Succession	Run projects in the group in succession.
      Time Lapse	Run projects in the group in the interval that you specify in the Delay field.

   2. (Optional.) In the Override URL field, enter a URL to override the one specified in the Server URL field in the Project work space.

5. Add projects to the group.

   1. In the Group Projects section, from the Projects drop-down list, select a project.

   2. Click the Add a new project button to add the project to the group.

   3. From the Method drop-down list, select an HTTP method.

   4. In the Amount field, enter the number of instances of the project to include in the group.

   5. From the Run In drop-down list, select one of the following options to specify how the projects run among themselves.

      Field or Control	Description
      Parallel	Run all instances of the project at the same time. The limited availability of open ports and other system resources requires you to determine the optimal number of projects to run at a single time. Start with 10 projects and slowly add projects to determine how many concurrent requests the system can process.
      Succession	Run instances of the project in succession.
      Time Lapse	Run instances of the project in the interval that you specify in the Delay field.

   6. Repeat steps a through to add additional projects to the group.

6. Select File, and then Save Group.
