Test Data Manager

Hi Team,

I have couple of queries

1. How much volume of data CA data maker can generate?

2. Can you please provide me the steps to generate high volume of data for volume testing through data maker

3. Can CA data maker tool support RAW data type(database: Oracle)

For item 2 of your question:

If you do need a large quantity of TRANSACTIONAL data (ex: for a performance test), you can use Data Multiplier/Bulking:

Understand Data Multiplier and Data Bulking - CA Test Data Manager - 4.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

*** You would not use this method for reference tables, such as customer or products, though ***

Thanks, we are going through data multiplier.

For Data multiplier/Bulk copying, there is no limitation mentioned on docops.

https://docops.ca.com/ca-test-data-manager/4-3/en/provisioning-test-data/generate-synthetic-test-data/generate-synthetic-data-using-datamaker/publish-data-using-datamaker/understand-data-multiplier-and-data-bulking

So, if you have generated a million rows, you can double this number to 2 million, then to 4 million, and so forth. Therefore, by running the script 5 times (for example), you can create an extra 63 million rows. This method allows you to create data quickly as there is no external file activity to slow the creation.

Also, I have never seen RAW datatype in Oracle. I am not sure if it is supported. We can test this later this week to find out.
