Resolve CSV

This component can be used to take a csv file and issue a resolve and create a new version with a suffix of .resolved.csv and functions enclosed in {} will also be resolved.

The VIP Test Data stack contains very powerful data functionality.

Example data generation functions.

These can be explored using Excel and typing =datagen or =VIP. The Resolve CSV function allows you to store these functions inside a csv file and then resolve the values to static values for use by other components, for example create messages etc.

If you wished to have a random number between 1 and a 100 you could include

=DataGen.Random.RandomInt(1,100)
inside a cell.

To store the value you can enclose the value inside {} or prefix the equal sign with a quote

{=DataGen.Random.RandomInt(1,100)} '=DataGen.Random.RandomInt(1,100)

You can also perform Test Data Catalogue find or makes as part of the resolve

Example Test Criteria (lookup) in a Test Data Catalogue – The criteria is 183 (look in the URL)

To incorporate a look-up use the following format:

{parTestID=195,parBarcodeType=634STPremium,parStartString=0039328350024500224}
parTestID           Get this from the url

Other parameters are from the Input section of criteria definition
