Use TestManager datapools with Functional Tester

If you have TestManager installed, you can use TestManager datapools with Functional Tester through Rational Test Script Services (TSS) support.

For information about how to use datapools through the TSS, see the API documentation.

To display the TSS documentation:

• Click Start > Rational Product > Rational Test API > TSS for Java.

To use TestManager datapools with Functional Tester, add the following import statement to the Functional Tester script:

     import com.rational.test.tss.*; 

To use a TestManager datapool with Functional Tester, the datapool name must contain the complete path using double backslashes where the datapool resides. If you use UNIX®, the file separator is a forward slash.

This version of Functional Tester has new datapool features. We recommend using the new datapool features of Functional Tester. You can import a TestManager datapool into a new Functional Tester datapool to use the new datapool features of Functional Tester. For more information, see Create a Datapool.

Note About TestManager Integration: Functional Tester is integrated with Rational TestManager version 7.0.2. If you have the 7.0.2 version of TestManager, you will be able to use the integrated features of Functional Tester and TestManager.

CAUTION:

If you run a script with a datapool from TestManager, use only the filename of the datapool. Do not use the full pathname to the datapool, because if you use the full pathname of the datapool, you cannot run the script from TestManager.

Example:

import resources.testOutHelper; 
import com.rational.test.ft.*; 
import com.rational.test.ft.object.interfaces.*; 
import com.rational.test.ft.script.*; 
import com.rational.test.ft.value.*; 
import com.rational.test.ft.vp.*; 
import com.rational.test.tss.*; 
public class testOut extends testOutHelper 
{ 
public void testMain (Object[] args) 
{ 
boolean test; 
String strval2; 
try{ 

//create datapool object 
TSSDatapool dp = new TSSDatapool(); 
//open datapool named testdpool 

    dp.open("testdpool");
        //Fetch first row of data from datapool 
        test = dp.fetch(); 
        //Loop 5 times through datapool for(int i = 0; i<5; i++) 
        { 
        //Get string value from custname column 
        DatapoolValue dpv = dp.value("custname"); 
        strval2 = dpv.toString(); 
        System.out.println("Name is " + strval2); 
        test = dp.fetch(); 
        } 

        } 
        catch (Exception e)  { 
        System.out.println("Exception occurred");
        } 


        } 
        } 
        }
