Data Export
The Data Export element is used to write data to a file. It works as a Data Reference by pointing out data. It does not replace itself, but instead it writes the data to a file specified by the element.
Add Data Export to the Test Scenario by dragging it from the tool palette. This will open the Insert a new Data Export element popup. Here are the fields available when setting up this element:
Description | Provide a description for the Data Export element |
File path | This is the data.xml file that will be written. Click Browse to select an existing data.xml file. |
Referenced ID | This ID points to the referenceable element ID within this Test Scenario. Use the drop down list if selecting a name that already exists. |
Data item path | This is optional and points out the data in the referenceable element. To use this the XML for the element, like a copybook and the path to the field need to be supplied. |
OK / Cancel | Click OK to save your element. |
