LoadRunner Terminology - Rendezvous Point

Source: Load Runner Stress Testing using Rendezvous Points

Using Rendezvous Points:

A rendezvous point creates intense user loads on the server and enabled LoadRunner to measure server performance under load. Using rendezvous point we can instruct multiple Vusers to perform tasks simultaneously. We define rendezvous points in the Vuser script, and control using the controller. The controller releases the Vusers from the rendezvous either when the required number of Vusers arrives, or when a specified amount of time has passed.

Procedure to control load peaks on the server:

1. Create Vusers scripts, inserting the necessary rendezvous points.
2. Create a scenario.
3. Set the level of emulated user load.
4. Set the attributes for the rendezvous.
5. Run the scenario.

3 Rendezvous Attributes:

1. Release when X% of all Vusers arrive at the rendezvous.

2. Release when X% of all running Vusers arrive at the rendezvous. 

3. Release when X Vusers arrive at the rendezvous.
