Software Automation Framework Support

I was not aware there is a size limit of a text file.
Under what circumstances/environment?
Thanks.

You conceivable could easily get to th size limit of a text file if you do
this. Might be better to do this another way.

It depends on how sophisticated you expect your Datapool to be.

I have been toying with a couple of ideas on this.  One such idea is to use
alternate AppMaps and extract values from the AppMap.  These could even be
pseudo-indexed values when combined with Driver Command
CopyVariableValuesEx, etc..

One thing that could really enhance that capability is to fully expose the
ability to change the default constants section in an AppMap.  For example,
you can make it so that subsequent lookups come from a different AppMap
section other than "ApplicationConstants".  So, you could theoretically have
stuff like:

[ApplicationConstants]

[John]
FirstName=...
LastName=...
Address=...

[Paul]
FirstName=...
LastName=...
Address=...

[Ringo]
FirstName=...
LastName=...
Address=...

You could then tell the framework to reference values in "John" or "Paul" or
"Ringo" instead of "ApplicationConstants" and then fill variables
accordingly.

Unfortunately, we have not yet created a Driver Command to expose changing
the constants section.  Though, an API exists to do so in RRAFS:

http://safsdev.sourceforge.net/sqabasic2000/DDGUIUtilities.htm#ddgsetdefault
appmapsection

Along with the "SetApplicationMap" Driver Command, there is also an API to
switch out application maps:

rrentappmap

Hi,

Is there a way to use datapools (or something something similiar) with
RRAFS?

Sandra,

We are a Sydney based testing company and have been involved with the
implementation of the SAFS framework on Rational, at one of the Banks.

The end to end implementation process took about 10 weeks for 2 of us and
included:
  - installation of the framework.
  - rewriting the test scripts to match the framework requirements.
  - developing the step drivers and map files.
  - building the test lab and installing and configuring the tool.

We have checked back with the client on a number of occassions and they are
still happily using it.

Cheers
Elliot
