Running the SUBSET Action will Subset the data based on the Subset Rules in your Configuration Sheet. However, you might want to perform addition actions on your data.

The post-Subset actions available when using Test Data Automation are:

  1. ADDPKEYS: Adds Primary Key Constraints to the Staging Database.

  2. ADDFKEYS: Adds Foreign Key constraints.

  3. ADDKEYS: A composite action which performs both ADDPKEYS and ADDFKEYS to add Primary and Foreign Key constraints to the Staging Database.

  4. VALIDATEPKEYS: Checks that all Primary Keys are unique.

  5. VALIDATEFKEYS: Checks whether Foreign Keys can be added to the data.

  6. VALIDATEKEYS: A composite action which performs both VALIDATEPKEYS and VALIDATEKEYS to check whether both Primary Keys and Foreign Keys are valid. Primary Keys must be unique. Foreign Key must refer to a column in another table with a valid, corresponding value.

  7. DELETEORPHANS: Removes rows that do not fulfil Foreign Key constraints. This is useful if FoundCriteria have been specified.

  8. Data edits: Various actions will edit the resultant data Subset:

    1. DROPFKEYS: Drops Foreign Keys.

    2. DROPPKEYS: Drops Primary Keys.

    3. DROPKEYS: A composite action that performs DROPFKEYS and DROPPKEYS to drop both Foreign Keys and Primary Keys.

    4. TRUNCATE: Deletes the data from the target Database or Schema, allowing you to subset iteratively.

    5. DROP: Drops the tables created by the PREPENV Action.

Instructions on running each action are provided in this section of the Knowledge Base.
