Working with Datapools
10-22
7. When finished modifying datapool columns, type a number in the No. of
records to generate field.
If a different row has to be retrieved with each fetch, make sure the datapool has
at least as many rows as the number of users (and user iterations) that will be
requesting rows at runtime.
8. Click Generate Data.
You cannot generate data for a datapool that has more than 150 columns.
Alternatively, if you do not want to generate any data now, click Save to save
your datapool column definitions, and then click Close.
9. Optionally, click Yes to see a brief summary of the generated data.
If There Are Errors
If the datapool values are not successfully generated, you are prompted to see an
error report rather than a summary of the generated data. To correct the errors:
1. Click Yes to see the error report.
2. After viewing the cause of the errors, click Cancel.
3. Correct the errors in the Datapool Fields grid.
