Test Data Manager

This is a step by step approach on how to create your first Test Data on Demand (TDoD)  requestor (web page linked to a datapool).

Prerequisites :

• Don’t forget to configure TDM : TDoD Service, Publish Service, Group Job Processor Service (video here : Getting Started Session 5 - Configure TDoD & Remote Publisher )
• Enable the "publish without authorization" if you don’t want to go to TDM each time to authorize your job

In TDM

1. Configure your DataPool DataGroup (DG_DataPool) to enable it for web access
   • Check box « Available on Demand »
2. Configure your DataSet (DS_DataPool) to enable it for web access
   • Check box « Available on Demand »
   • Check box for property « Make data available for external use »
3. Configure your DataPool (DP) to enable it for web access
   • Check box « Available on Demand »
   • Check box for property « Make data available for external use »
   • Define a « Default Publish location » (in order to do this, you need to run it once at least)
4. Create input variable(s) for your DP that you will use in your workflow
   • Only variables used in DP are visible for publish
5. Create AgileDesigner DataGroup (DG_WebForm) in your project
   • Set type as Agile Designer
   • Checkbox "Available  on Demand"

In Agile Designer

1. Create a new process
   • Add a node for each screen that you want to see
   • In the node, go to « Test Data » sheet, click « Set Publish » and search for the variable you set
2. Save it on TDM server in the DG_WebForm you created

In TDM again

1. Expose your web form to the web portal
   • Right click on the webworm object, select «  expose … form to TDoD »

In your TDoD

1. Connect to the portal
   • OLD PORTAL: http://<your TDM server>:80
   • NEW PORTAL: <http://<your TDM server>:8080/TestDataManager/index.html or https://<your TDM server>:8443/TestDataManager/index.html
     • select "Tester Self Service" on the left menu

Hi,

How can I make sure the variables publish or on demand? I've followed the steps, but I dont see anything when I click Set Publish.

Thanks.

When you write that you don't see anything, do you speak about variable or even your Data Pool  ?

- First, verify that you have checked "Available on Demand" at all levels (DataGroup, DataSet, DataPool)

- Second, verify that your variable is used by your DataPool (in TDM publish screen for your DataPool, variable used are be visible on the bottom left corner)

- third, don't forget to refresh your repository view in Agile Designer if you do any change in TDM

Hi I am facing below issue while submitting a Test Match TDoD. This message pops as soon as I click on submit.

As said on the error message, for TestMatch, you should use a DSN Less ODBC connection. When you create your connection profile within TDM, this is one of the option that is proposed:

I am not getting hits type of window while its asking for connection. Instead what I am getting below. Please clarify if I am missing anything.

Instead of Microsoft SQL Server, select "Other", then type a name and select DSN-less ODBC for DBMS

As far as I remember, this is the connection for the database where you put your TestMart table.

As your issue is very specific to TestMatch, could you please open a specific discussion on this ?

Thanks Dimitris. Its working fine now.

You're welcome. Please put my answer as useful or recommend it so that others could see it.

Once, I will post a similar subject on Test Match
