This guide describes conceptual information about data design environment components when you want to use the data fabrication feature in HCL OneTest™ Server.
A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
The VALIDATE function validates the XML input by using the XMLLIB library.
The VALIDATEEX function validates the XML input, and logs the function processing in the directory where the map runs by using the XMLLIB library.
The XVALIDATE function validates the XML input.
The XPATH function queries the XML input.
The XPATH function that is used with XMLLIB queries the XML input.
The XPATHEX function queries the XML input by using the XMLLIB library, and logs function processing in the directory where the map runs.
The XSLTEX function applies an XSLT transformation to the XML input, and logs the function processing in the directory where the map runs by using the XMLLIB library.
