Q: How many concurrent threads I can execute with the tool?
A: It depends on your environment. Windows limit is about 2000 threads.

Q: Can I use custom performance counter with "Performance Counters" plug-in?
A: Yes. You should enter name of the counter manually: "\group\counter".

Q: I have very complex SQL statement as task definition. The program splits it to a few parts. How to avoid that?
A: Try to switch off "use SQL parser" check box at the task definition panel.

Q: Can I specify different connection for each task of the project?
A: Yes, with Professional or Enterprise edition only.

Q: I have two tasks in my project but the stress tool do nothing when I press run. What is happen?
A: Please be sure that at least one task has "enabled" status. The program executes enabled tasks only.

Q: Can I specify dependencies between parameters with built-in data generator?
A: You can use "by group" functions but can't refer to another column or parameter value directly.

Q: Where data generator's pattern engine defined?
A: Online manual. The offline copy is included into installation file.

Q: Does included pattern engine supports all features and functions?
A: No, column reference feature does not supported.

Q: I can't find OCI interface in the x64 build of the stress tool. How to use this connection mode?
