Import Datapool dialog box

Import From

Type the path and file name of an existing Rational Functional Tester datapool, or a .csv file, or click the Import From arrow to display a list of ten recently imported files, and then click an item from the list.

Browse

Click to select the path and filename of an existing Rational Functional Tester datapool to import. When you browse for a datapool, click the Files of type arrow and select either a .csv file type, a .rftdp file type for a public datapool, or a /rftxdp file type for a private datapool.

.CSV Format options

Use these options to import a .csv file.

Field Separator

Type the field separator character to use in the file you want to import. The field separator character that appears must be the same as the one used in the .csv file you are importing as a datapool. If you are not sure which field separator character to specify, use a text editor such as Notepad to open the .csv file and see the field separator character that is used.

First Record is Variable Information

Select to make the first row of the imported data, the column heading of a new datapool. If First Record is Variable Information is unchecked, the first row in the .csv file is imported as data and the headers use the default headers, such as data0, data1. The First Record is Variable Information setting is unavailable if the file you select to import is not a valid .csv file.

Note: When you import a .csv file that was initially a datapool, you must select First Record is Variable Information to ensure that the data imports correctly.

To open: Click Create a Test Datapool (). For Rational Functional Tester, Eclipse Integration, click Next. For Rational Functional Tester, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Integration, click Open.
