data set path comments
check in data set Customers /Customer info Initial creation
- The data set argument may specify a dedicated data set or inline data set that has already been defined within the test.
- for a dedicated data set: the full TA path from the Data node must be specified, with forward slashes (/) delimiting each level of the hierarchy.
- for an inline data set: only the name (no path) of the data set is necessary.
- If the data set is inline, all added data are stored in memory.
- If the data set is a module, the data set is first checked out (if not yet in that state), and then modified. During the checkout process, TestArchitect issues a warning/error if either of the following conditions hold:
- the data set is currently checked out by another user.
- the current user does not have sufficient permission to modify data sets.
- Following execution of this action, it is highly recommended that you use a check in data set action to ensure that all changes to the data set are available before it is actually used.
- This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
