Create a JMeter script to test the z39.50 service.

The script should execute the following steps from the Yaz client:

1. Create connection to the server: > open lx2.loc.gov:210 (where 210 is port number)

   1. Alternatively > username>/<password>lx2.loc.gove:210/testing (where “testing” is the tenantID.

2. Set database: > base LCDB

3. > find water (do a search)

4. > show 1 (show first hit)

5. > <enter> (hit enter to move to the next record. Repeat this step a few times

There are many options to search a z39.50 service, Need to specify an attribute set. Here let’s use attribute set “1 in step 3.

3. > find @attr 1=1007 <ISBN number> (here using attribute set #1, search by the ISBN field 1007).

For more information on supported attribute sets: https://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/bib1.html

BIB 1’s attribute set: https://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/bib1.html

Pick a few attribute sets and prepare corresponding data to test with. For example, if choosing 1007, prepare a list of ISBNs to pass in. If do not specify the attribute set, find a list of keywords to search with.
