RE: what is a datapool? what it contains ? how do ...

Hi!

Datapool in rational robot is used to replace single or fixed value with multiple values in single recording instead of doing recording several times for different input datas.

U have to create a script by doing recording .

Select a field in the application for which u want to create a datapool.And goto the test manager Click the tools menu->manage->Datapools to create datapool follow the windows and enter the appropriate Datapool name Field name its datatype .

And Enter the multiple values u want to replace in that field. Modify ur script by adding few statements in it saying about the datapool creation for the field in ur script.

And when u execute ur script u can c the application opening many times and the appropriate field is getting replaced with multiple values given by u.

Hello A datapool is the collection of record which will be used as inputs for the application Under test.Datapools should be created and the corressponding variable should be declared in the script.Ex : Dim ccNum as string Dim ccType as string Dim ccExpdate as string Here are the data elements that are present in the appliction. Say Credit Card no Credit card type.Connect to the Datapool created by the code.Ex : dp SQADatapoolOpen( test-datapool )Calling the datapool.Ex: call SQADatapoolFetch(dp)By doing this you will be able to automate the inputs. Run the application properly.Thanks.

A datapool is a test dataset. It supplies data values to the variables in a script during script playback.

Datapools allows to automatically pump test data to virtual testers under high-volume conditions that potentially involve hundreds of virtual testers performing thousands of transactions.

A datapool is a test dataset. It supplies data values to the variables in a script during script playback.Datapools let you automatically pump test data to virtual testers under high-volume conditions that potentially involve hundreds of virtual testers performing thousands of transactions.Typically you use a datapool so that: Each virtual tester that runs the script can send realistic data (which can include unique data) to the server. A single virtual tester that performs the same transaction multiple times can send realistic data to the server in each transaction.If you do not use a datapool during script playback each user virtual tester the same literal values to the server (the values that were captured when you recorded the script).For example suppose you record a VU script that sends order number 53328 to a database server. If 100 virtual testers run this script order number 53328 is sent to the server 100 times. If you use a datapool each virtual tester can send a different order number to the server.

Click the Generator tab.3. Select Use datapools.4. Click OK.When you record the script Robot automatically adds datapool commands and the DATAPOOL_CONFIG statement to it.Note: With GUI scripts you must add the datapool commands manually.

Opens the specified datapool and provides information about the datapool cursor.SYNTAX return& SQADatapoolOpen (name$ [wrap] [sequence] [exclusive])name$: The name of the datapool to open.Wrap: A optional Variant that indicates whether the datapool cursor should return to the first row in the row access order after the last row has been reached. sequence: An optional Variant that indicates the access method. Exclusive:An optional Variant that indicates whether the datapool cursor is shared with other usersIn SQABasic SQADatapoolOpen is the only way to define the datapool's cursor and row access order. Unlike the VU scripting language SQABasic does not include a DATAPOOL_CONFIG statement.
