JMeter Login once and do an operation multiple times

Question

I have a test plan such as:

-Test Plan
  - Thread Group
      - Cookie Manager
      - Login
      - Play

The login operation returns a session cookie which is required for play operation, for which I'm using Cookie Manager.

Now, the login operation should happen only once and play operation should happen 1000 times. How can I do it? I know that each thread in the thread group represents individual user. So how should I arrange this test?

Answer 1

Just use Loop Controller and structure your test this way:
