How can I save reference Id In Jmeter? and generate it new in each iteration

Question

I am doing load testing on ticket purchase website.

in that website there are 2 pages Page 1: where there are list of tickets and one you add ticket in that cart than it shows 'checkout' button. Page 2: By click on checkout it will redirect on other page, and user have to fill other details of buyer (email and name) and complete the order.

when user redirect from page 1 to page 2 than it create one reference id. so, if I want to test this whole process with 50 users than 50 reference if will be created.

I need help to generate that reference id for each user. I tried with regular expression extractor and Http cookie manager but refrence id is not generated.

Need Help!

We cannot help you without seeing how does this "reference Id" (whatever it is) look like in the response.

• Normally you shouldn't be using regular expressions for getting data from HTML pages, it might be a better idea to consider using CSS Selector Extractor
• If this "reference Id" comes as a cookie - a HTTP Cookie Manager will automatically handle it. If you need to use a cookie value elsewhere - you can tell the Cookie Manager to store cookies into JMeter Variables by setting CookieManager.save.cookies property to true
