Issue/Introduction

"Allow duplicate specific transactions" checkbox functionality

 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

N/A

Resolution

In VSI transactions, checking "Allow duplicate Specific Transactions" allows a round-robin selection of the specific transactions if the request data values are same.  

For example: 

If there are 2 specific transactions (ID's are 2 and 4) with same request data as "Name=John" and "HouseNumber=2234" and both can have different responses.

When a first transaction hits VS then VSE is going to send response from ID=2 and a second transaction hits VS then VSE is going to respond from ID=4.

When a third transaction hits VSE again then VSE is going to respond from ID=2 again.
