Test Data Manager

  • 1.  Does Test Data Manager supports Image format and alphanumeric data in Data Generartion?

    Posted Aug 05, 2016 05:09 AM

    Just need to verify is there any possibility of extracting / subseting the data which contains a image format(CLOB format) also some files with PDF, and  the data which contains alphanumeric characters?

     

    Can we able to synthetically create the data with image format and also with alphanumeric characters?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Sunil,

     

    TDM does not allow synthetic data generation for image formats.

     

    It does currently allow you to generate data that has alphanumeric characters. Can you clarify what data type you expect the alphanumeric data to be published to?

     

    Thanks,

    Sameer

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the inputs.

     

    For example Alphanumeric characters  with Punctuation marks, and symbols (such as @, &, and *,) and  letter variations such as é and ç  needs to be  published  with the data type ( Varchar2).

     

    Will CA TDM supports the Image format for  subset / Extraction of data from the source ( DBMS / flat files) ?

     

    Thanks,

    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,

     

    We can Subset data that contains alphanumeric characters like you mentioned. For the letters like é and ç  the datatype holding the data would most likely be a nvarchar because these are unicode characters.

     

    If you would like TDM to support the Image format for Subset/Extraction of data from the source DBMS/flat files, please create an 'Idea' post for it on this community page.

    Please also include the impact this is having for your project, how soon you would need it, and the potential business impact if it is not provided. You and other community users will be able to 'vote' for this enhancement request. It will be reviewed by product managers at frequent intervals who will decide if the enhancement will be added to the product and when. You will be notified of the enhancement request's progress by the Idea post being marked as 'Under Review', 'Currently Planned' , or 'Delivered' by CA.This is our formal way of documenting enhancement requests and a lot of them really do get added to the product, so I highly recommend writing a post.

     

    Best regards,
