Overview

Relevant for: business process tests and flows

What is the BPT Data pane? The data pane displays the iterations and parameter values per iteration for the selected component in your business process test.

When should you use the BPT Data pane? Use the Data pane to view and modify iteration data for your business component or group in your test or flow.

Option	Description
To access	Ensure that a business process test or flow is in focus in the document pane, and a component, flow, or group is selected. Select View > Data.

How do I add additional iterations to the selected component?

When you have a component selected, in the Data pane's toolbar, click the Add button and select how you want the parameter values to be created.

An additional row is added to the list of parameters and iterations.

Note: This button is unavailable if the component or flow for which you are adding an iteration is in a group or a flow, or, if you are selecting a specific cell in the table.

To enable this button, select an iteration row in the grid and make sure that the component or flow selected in the document pane is not in a group.

Can I link these parameter values to other parameter values?

Yes - for a selected parameter value in the grid, click the Link parameters button. Then, in the Select Link Source dialog box, select the test or component parameter you want to link.

Do I have to run all the iterations in the Data pane when I run a business process test?

No - in the Run iterations from field, enter the iterations to use for a specific test run. All other iterations are ignored when running the selected business process test.
