Use the Import Datapool dialog box to create a Functional Tester
datapool from an existing Functional Tester datapool, an IBM® Rational® TestManager
datapool, or a .csv file.
- Import From
- Type the path and file name of an existing Functional Tester or TestManager
datapool, or a .csv file, or click the Import From arrow
to display a list of ten recently imported files, and then click an item from
the list.
- Browse TM
- Click to select the path and file name of a TestManager (TM) datapool
to import.
- Browse
- Click to select the path and filename of an existing Functional Tester
datapool to import. When you browse for a datapool, click the Files
of type arrow and select either a .csv file type, a .rftdp file
type for a public datapool, or a /rftxdp file type for a private datapool.
- .CSV Format options
- Use these options to import a .csv file.
- Field Separator
- Type the field separator character to use in the file you want to import.
The field separator character that appears must be the same as the one used
in the .csv file you are importing as a datapool. If you are not sure which
field separator character to specify, use a text editor such as Notepad to
open the .csv file and see the field separator character that is used.
- First Record is Variable Information
- Select to make the first row of the imported data, the column heading
of a new datapool. If First Record is Variable Information is
unchecked, the first row in the .csv file is imported as data and the headers
use the default headers, such as data0, data1. The First Record
is Variable Information setting is unavailable if the file
you select to import is not a valid .csv file or not a TestManager datapool.
Note: When
you import a .csv file that was initially a Functional Tester datapool, you
must select First Record is Variable Information to
ensure that the data imports correctly.
