I am new to JMETER , I am trying to record my web application and correlate JSESSION IDs and other details.

JSESSION ID , i want to capture from previous request and send as parameter in next request.

But in the next request parameters tab is disabled. I see in some posts that body should be empty to have parameters tab. In the attached screenshot , if I make body empty , how do I pass the parameters.can anyone please help me . I am not able to proceed further

What/How do you want to send the parameters? if it's inside JSON you don't need Parameters tab, if it's query parameters you don't need Parameters tab, explain what/how you want to send parameters – user7294900
From the previous response, i created a variable using reg exp extractor - JSESION . so now i want to send the value of the variable JSESION in this request in JSON format( as shown above screenshot) . how do I do that.where should i give this variable JSESION? please help – chaatat
Use ${JSESION} – user7294900
I updated body data with below {"sessionId":"","ipAddress":"","autoLogin":"N","numberLoginAttempts":0,"cookie":"${JSESSION}"} Also I tried {"sessionId":"","ipAddress":"","autoLogin":"N","numberLoginAttempts":0,"cookie":${JSESSION}} both are throwing errors. – chaatat
Please check if you have removed the text from body tab and there is no white space which is not allowing you to move to parameters tab. – Zohair

If you're testing a REST API and want to parameterize the contents of your payload you can just inline the relevant JMeter Function and/or Variable directly into the request body like:

{"sessionId":"","ipAddress":"","autoLogin":"N","numberLoginAttempts":0,"cookie":"JSESSIONID=${JSESION}"}

If you will still be experiencing problems use Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination in order to check that:

  1. Your JSESION variable exists
  2. It has expected value
