Use values from data pools

In the integration test client, you can open the data pool editor and select values from a data pool to use in the value editor.

Before you use the data pool editor, you should read the topic "Value and data pool editors." This topic provides detailed information on the data pool editor, such as information on setting single or multiple values using pop-up menu items.

To use values from data pools:


Procedure

  1. In the integration test client value editor, right-click the value that you want to replace with a value from the data pool, then select Use Value from Pool. A read-only instance of the data pool editor opens. (If , however, that if no data pool yet exists or only the pre-6.1.2 global data pool exists, the data pool editor will not open. Instead, the New Data Pool wizard will automatically open to enable you to create a new data pool. Information about creating a new data pool is found in the topic "Adding new data pools.")

  2. In the Data pool field, complete one of the following steps:

    • If you want to use a value from an existing data pool, either accept the data pool that is currently specified or select another data pool from the list of available data pools. Alternatively, you can select Browse to locate and select a data pool.

    • If you want to create a new data pool, select New. Information about creating a new data pool is found in the topic "Adding data pools."

  3. If you want to filter the contents of the Values list in the data pool editor to show only values of another simple or complex type, specify the type in the Filter for type field.

    For example, you could specify string and the Values list would be filtered to show only values with a string data type.

  4. In the Values list, select the data pool value that you want to use.

  5. Click OK.
