DataSource Not Looping through values in loadtest

I have a loadtest configured (Strategy = thread), start/end threads = 1, limit the test run to 10 total runs. My load test consists of a datasource step, followed by a soap request that uses values pulled from that datasource. The load test will pass on the first iteration, but the subsequent 9 calls are failing. Looking at the response details, it is because the values being used from the datasource are always the values from the first row.

Am I missing something here? I know I've done this setup in the past, where values from the datasource are uniquely used for each request.

Thanks,
Chris

    Do you have the "Shared" property checked in the DataSource Options?

    Hi,

    yes i have the shared property checked.
    What i aim to do is to generate unique id's for each thread.
    I am using a datagen to generate unique id.
    And using this id value in a soap request just after the datagen.
    There are just 2 steps in my test case: a datagen and a soap request.
    Now the problem is, When i run the load test with mulitple threads, the unique id's are generated correctly in proper sequence. But they are not submitted in proper order.
    The id's generated are:
    3500,3501,3502, and so on
    and i want them to submit in that order only
    But what actually happens is, request with id 3501 is submitted before 3500 which fails the test case.
    Is there any way i can ensure that request get submitted in sequence of the id's generated by each thread?
