Hello,

I am a really new user of jMeter. Trying to implement a set of functional
tests in one single test plan.

In this plan, I need to :

1- Send a constant XML-RPC request to a server and grab a value from the
result(doing this with Xpath Extractor).
2- Then send a variable number of XML-RPC requests with values coming from
a csv file(Trying to use a CSV Data config for this)
3- Finally, send another last XML-RPC request only once.

It all works as expected (almost) but the last XML-RPC request is repeated
for every line in the CSV Data config file.

Is it possible to restrict the CSV Data config element to a specific
Sampler or even Logic Controller?

Thanks in advance,
Jean

Bellow My current test plan:
