Jmeter user session wise different data set

Question

My test plan is as following

- Test Plan
    - Thread Group (No of Threads: 4)
        - HTTP Request Defaults
        - HTTP Cookie Manager
        - CSV Data Set Config(Login Information) [4 user login]
        - Simple Controller
            - HTTP Request(GET: Open Login Page)
            - HTTP Request(POST: Login auth)
            - Loop Controller
                - CSV Data Set Config(Operation Information) [8 operation data]
                - HTTP Request(GET: Open Operation page)
                - HTTP Request(POST: Commit Operation)
            - HTTP Request(POST: Logout)

In this plan suppose I provide 4 users and 8 operation data. What it doing is running 8 operation for 4 users each in total of 8x4=32 operations.

How could I make this as following

1st user will do 2 operations
2nd user will do 2 operations
3rd user will do 2 operations
4th user will do 2 operations

I want to provide user session wise different operations that 4 users will do number of transactions but the transactions will not be same. How can I achieve this?

What is the loop count of the Loop Controller and in the Thread Group? — NaveenKumar Namachivayam, Apr 24 '17 at 04:03
Give 4 as the loop count in the Thread group and 2 in the Loop Controller. — NaveenKumar Namachivayam, Apr 24 '17 at 04:12
Also, please mention which 2 operations should be the user considered. User 1 will do first two operations, User 2 should do third and fourth operations and so on. — NaveenKumar Namachivayam, Apr 24 '17 at 04:16
loop count is currently 1 for both thread group and loop controller. Trying your second reply, I will let u know. And your third is as u said. I could provide different data set for each users. But it would be better if users could pick data as u said in third reply. — Esty, Apr 24 '17 at 04:31
Tried as your second. But it gives 32 transaction. 4 users with thread group loop count 4 and loop controller loop count 2 gives 4x4x2 = 32 transactions. — Esty, Apr 24 '17 at 04:35

If I'm getting your test scenario correctly you can just set the "Sharing Mode" of your CSV Data Set Config (Operation Information) to Current Thread Group.

Current thread group - each file is opened once for each thread group in which the element appears

If you want more precise control I believe Switch Controller is what you're looking for, using it you can select which user will go for which execution branch.

See Running JMeter Samplers with Defined Percentage Probability article for more information.

You r correct about using current thread group. Let me read your links. i will let you know. – Esty Apr 24 '17 at 05:04
Thanks & solved. I didn't use switch controller but my purpose served by Interleave controller. I checked `Interleave across threads` option and it provides children to different threads. – Esty Apr 24 '17 at 06:32

As requested, I am posting my solution. Below is the test plan story.

Test Plan

Thread Group

I used only 1 thread in my thread group and 4 in the loop count as shown below.

Loop Controller

CSV Config for the both the files

Output

Let me check it. – Esty Apr 25 '17 at 03:39
1 thread will not serve my purpose. I need to increase threads for concurrent transaction. – Esty May 04 '17 at 11:37
@Esty Please check the CSV Data Set Config – NaveenKumar Namachivayam May 04 '17 at 15:29
checked but if I keep threads at 1 then will this `All Threads` csv makes concurrency? – Esty May 07 '17 at 03:28
