I'm using Uno choice plugin to select parameter values based on previous selections.
(This plugin helped me to reduce parameter count. I can reuse same parameter for multiple platform based on the platform selection)
I used the groovy script to select parameter values.
But it takes too much time to load parameters.
Is there any way to speed up this process?
I had faced similar issues and I was also using groovy scripts to cal shell scripts.I did the following things to reduce time:-
When you click on build with Parameters all task(scripts run at once together) are performed at once.
Use else conditions properly.
Also use Fallback script.
For eg:-
you have parameters such as
1) country
2) state
3) city
each parameter depends on the previous values.
1) Try to only display contents on Jenkins front-end.(cat command).
2) Call a script if only it matches valid values in the previous parameter.
3) minimum on the fly scripts.
4) optimize delays/sleep according to your load time.
5) Remove any extensions whether in chrome/Firefox.
5) Try using the same page in incognito mode.
6) If options are invalid through invalid option without going into any computation.
7) Uninstall plugin which are not required.
Will add more suggestions as I find.
I would request you also to please update if you find any method to optimize time.

I have a JMeter test where a CSV file containing multiple rows of comma separated values example:- internalID,drivername, usreg,canadareg. I am basically using the CSV file to compare the values with the database table values. To compare the values to database values, I am adding a JDBC request with a query 'select internalID,drivername,usreg,canadareg from data where internalid ='${internalID'}' and providing the variables names to store the column data result. I use the groovy JSR233 and call the variables names in the script by declaring String a = vars.get("dintID_${counter}") where dintID is the variable name provided in the JDBC . The issue is when I run the script the first line of data in CSV files gets executed successfully, then the second line data in CSV file is passed to SQL statement correct, however the vars.get("dintid_${counter}") always stays at previous record meaning it does not go to next internalid(dintID). I have checked that my counter is incrementing. No idea how to resolve the issue. Does anyone know what mistake I am doing.
If you take a look at JSR223 Sampler documentation you will see that:
The JSR223 test elements have a feature (compilation) that can significantly increase performance. To benefit from this feature:
Use Script files instead of inlining them. This will make JMeter compile them if this feature is available on ScriptEngine and cache them.
Or Use Script Text and check Cache compiled script if available property.
When using this feature, ensure your script code does not use JMeter variables or JMeter function calls directly in script code as caching would only cache first replacement. Instead use script parameters.
So if the counter is a JMeter Variable - it will always be the initial value and it won't increment on subsequent iterations.
So you need to change the line to:
String a = vars.get('dintID_' + vars.get('counter'))

I wanted to run Cucumber Feature file based on the Test case ID that scanerio name contains.
I know we can use #CucumberOptions 'features' tag and specify the line number to execute e.g "src/test/resources/Folder/myfile.feature:7:12"
This will run scenarios at line 7 and 12. But i wanted to run based on the TC ID.
Below is the feature file code
#Run
Feature: Login Functionality
Scenario: First Test Case(TC.No:1)
Given I perform action 1
Scenario: Second Test Case(TC.No:2)
Given I perform action 2
Scenario: Third Test Case(TC.No:3)
Given I perform action 3
Scenario: Fourth Test Case(TC.No:4)
Given I perform action 4
Scenario: Fifth Test Case(TC.No:5)
Given I perform action 5
All the scenario's are in a single feature.
For the feature file code above i wanted some way through which i can execute based on TC Id. E.g I only want to execute TC1,TC2 and TC5( TC id's picked up from scenario names).
There is a property file that contains the TC Id's to be executed. My code should read the file and then execute only those TC id's.
This can help me in reducing the number of automation TC's to be run.
Is it possible?
You can use the name property of #CucumberOptions or use the '-n' option if you are using the cli option. It also supports regular expressions.
To run TC.No:1 and TC.No:4 use something like this
#CucumberOptions(name = { "TC.No:1|TC.No:4" })
or
#CucumberOptions(name = { "TC.No:1","TC.No:4" })
You can get more details at this link.
As you are reading the ids from a file, the second option is the best. Use the cucumber.api.cli.Main class main() method to execute the features. You can create the options dynamically. Refer to this post.
CLI reference docs.
Not familiar with cucumber-jvm.
But, here is the general logic which should work (based on my ruby Cucumber knowledge)
In the hook, you can write the logic to under before method to get the scenario name scenario.name and then extract the TC.No. Compare the TC.No and skip if it's not part of your list.
Here is the link which will give information how to skip the scenario (use this class in the before method)
https://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/4.12/org/junit/AssumptionViolatedException.html
However, the best practice is to use the tags, it would have been easy if you had #TCId-xx tag. Still you can write a simple program that will scan all the feature files and update the scenarios with the tag based on the TC.No in the scenario name.
I have a question. Let's say that I have created User Defined Attribute attr with values A,B,C.
How to configure taskwarrior to automatically change the attr value from A to B when I enter
task x start
and change attr from B to C when
task x done
Disadvantage of suggested solution:
You continuously need to have a script running in the background.
There can occur a small delay between your task x start command, and the change of UDA attr
It is a bit of a tedious method, perhaps you can also accomplish your goal using solely taskwarrior commands/settings.
It is made for fun and I can currently not offer any security or proper functioning guarantees. I tested and use it on WSL Ubuntu 16.04.
Assumptions:
If you enter task x start the attribute Start is set to a valid date.
Solution:
You can have a script running in the background that reads the properties of all tasks, and as soon as it detects a valid date in the Start attribute of a tasks, and a value of B in the UDA attr then it sets the UDA attr to C by executing the command task x modify attr:C command.
I made a script/small project that sorts on a custom setting of project and urgency, and it contains the functionalities of:
Running in the background from startup automatically,
Scanning the taskproperties and automatically applying the changes that are programmed in the script.
So in effect,
You should modify/add the UDA attr here:
And duplicate and change for example method private static void setCustomSort(ArrayList<Task> taskList) {1 on line 88 of the main
(For the 2nd step, between //get uuid and //create command you should add the condition that checks the task for a valid id. Then if it has, change the command that is generated to task modify attr:C)
The instructions to compile the java code and set up automation are listed here.
I have to order few jobs in control m from different scheduling tables. this is manual task so i want to automate it using rexx.
I found below in 'Order or Force under Batch, REXX or CLIST' section of 'CONTROL M USERGUIDE'
EXEC CTMAPI PARM=‘ORDER variable’
I could not find syntax to call CMTAPI using rexx.
ADDRESS 'LINKMVS' is the equivalent of // EXEC PGM=something,PARM='whatever' in REXX. I don't know what the variable is supposed to be, but since this is Control-M, I am going to assume job name. A very simple example:
say 'Enter name of job'
pull jobname
parmvar = 'ORDER' jobname
`ADDRESS 'LINKMVS' 'CTMAPI parmvar'
Please note that for LINKMVS, the variable name goes inside the string passed. The LINKMVS environment substitutes the variable automatically. For example, if I entered MYJOB to the prompt, LINKMVS will build a PARM string of `ORDER MYJOB'. This is the exact equivalent of
// EXEC PGM=CTMAPI,PARM='ORDER MYJOB'
This IBM® Knowledge Center page for the z/OS 2.3 TSO/E REXX Reference manual shows several examples of calling a program in the same manner as // EXEC PGM=,PARM= (item 1). Items 5 through 9 show different ways of using ADDRESS 'LINKMVS'; note how variables are treated in each example.
After suggestions from NicC, zarchasmpgmr and few research, finally i am able to order job with CTMJOB utility. I searched for the loadlib and called TSO using REXX.
/*****REXX*******/
ADDRESS TSO
"CALL 'MY.IN.LOAD(CTMJOB)'
' ORDER DSN=MY.SCHED.LIB TABLE=SCHDTBL,
JOB=JOBNAME,DATE=DATE'"
EXIT
Details found in INCONTROL for ZOS utilities guide. This document was very useful.

I have set FLAG as 1 and I am execpting ARG value should be DEV only. But am getting as ARG= DEV + CLIENTID
000023 // FLAG=1
000026 // IF (&FLAG=1) THEN
000027 //SET1 SET ARG=DEV
000028 // ELSE
000029 //SET2 SET ARG=DEV+&CLIENT
000030 // ENDIF
It mean JCL assign the value in RUNTIME (before checking the IF Condition).
Please help me to understand.
Thanks!

What #hogstrom said is correct. The JCL IF statement tests Step Return codes and not Variable values:
//IFBAD IF (ABEND | STEP1.RC > 8) THEN
Following on from what he said you can use a variable in an include statement
Include With variable
// INCLUDE MEMBER=OPT&FLAG
and setup members in the proclib
MEMBER=OPT1
// SET ARG=DEV
MEMBER=OPT2
// SET ARG=DEV+&CLIENT
You have to setup an include for every possible value of &FLAG and it is very long winded for one SET. It is more commonly used when you can set lots of variables like:
// INCLUDE MEMBER=ENV&ENV
where &ENV=PROD \ TEST etc
Your case
Do not use flag, just set the variable:
// SET ARG=DEV
or
// SET ARG=DEV+&CLIENT
There is some good information in the JCL Manual to understand the purpose of the IF/THEN/ELSE purpose.
Here are a few bullets from the manual:
The IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statement construct does not conditionally control the processing of JCL; rather, it conditionally controls the
execution of job steps.
The result of processing an IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statement construct, once determined, remains unchanged regardless of the outcome from
running any remaining steps in a job. The system does not reexamine
the original condition at any later job step termination, either
normal or abnormal. See Example 9.
The system allocates all DD statements defined to a step if the execution time evaluation of the relational-expression determines
that a step is to be executed. All data sets defined on DD statements
in the job must be available at the time the job is selected for
execution.
You can nest IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statement constructs up to a maximum of 15 levels. You can specify symbolic parameters on
IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statements provided that they resolve to one of the
supported relational-expression keywords. Any other symbolic
parameters, even if accepted by the system, are not intended or
supported.
What your doing seems logical, but, its not the intended purpose of JCL SET and conditional logic.
In your case, the last SET executed is what is used and why your seeing the DEV + CLIENTID
