This task describes how to set different types of values for Business Process Testing parameters.
Specify string, numeric, and boolean values
In any tab, dialog box, or grid, where you have the option of entering free text, you can enter string, numeric and boolean values. In a grid, you also have the option of clicking the down arrow to open the Set Values page, where you can enter your string.
Regardless of the type of value specified (string, numeric, boolean), Business Process Testing saves the value as a string.
For user interface details, see Set Values Dialog Box.
Specify a table value (for BPT Packaged Apps Kit users)
This parameter type, which represents a packaged app table (such as exists in SAP apps), is only available when a flow or business process test is learned using BPT Packaged Apps Kit. This is the only value that is not stored internally as a string.
For user interface details, see Edit Table Parameter Dialog Box.
Specify a date value
In any tab, dialog box, or grid, where you have the option of entering dates, click the down arrow to open the Set Values page.
In the Set Values page, click Set Date. A calendar appears enabling you to set a date value.
For user interface details, see Set Values Dialog Box.
Note: The dates use the date on the server (not the client).
Specify a dynamic date value
A dynamic date is a date relative to the current date (today, yesterday, a year from today). You can add or subtract an offset time period to the relative date that you specify (such as 3 months before one year ago). For example, to specify a date 10 days before the current date, the dynamic date could be: WeekAgo - 3 days
In any tab, dialog box, or grid, where you have the option of entering dynamic dates, click the down arrow to open the Set Values page.
In the Set Values page, click Set Dynamic Date. Fields appear enabling you to set dynamic dates.
For user interface details, see Set Values Dialog Box.
Encrypt the value
Encrypted values are displayed as asterisks so that their actual values cannot be seen.
In any tab, dialog box, or grid, where you have the option of encryption, click the down arrow to open the Set Values page.
In the Set Values page, select the Encrypted check box.
Caution: Once encrypted, the value cannot return to its original value. If you clear the Encrypted check box, the value is reset to empty.
For user interface details, see Set Values Dialog Box.
