process. The sample data file should also contain at least one of every exception you may want to
detect, or data used for a specific condition. For example, if you wanted to filter out any data for clients
in Canada, you would want to use a data file that has at least one client from Canada, to test whether
your process filters it out correctly.
To choose a sample data file:
1. Click the Debug tab in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
2. Click on Select in the Data group.
3. Use the Data Selector to choose your sample data file and emulation options (see "The Data
Selector" on page713).
4. Click OK on the Data Selector.
Alternatively, if a resource file available in the configuration contains the necessary data file, it can be
attached to the process easily:
1. Expand the relevant resource files folder (Connect Resources or PPS/PSM Documents) by click-
ing the button.
2. Expand the file by clicking the button.
3. Right-click on the data file, then click Set as sample data file or simply double-click on the data
file.
For example, to use a sample data file included in a Connect data mapping configuration: select Con-
nect Resources > Data Mapping Configurations > [your data mapping configuration], right-click
a data file and choose Set as sample data file.
Tip: Double-clicking on the data file does the same thing as right-clicking on it an then selecting
Set as sample data file. Clicking Cancel instead of OK after viewing will prevent this action
from being taken.
When you drag-and-drop a data mapping configuration on a process, you can choose to use
the first sample file in the data mapping configuration as the process's sample data file. This also
adds an "Execute Data Mapping" on page524 task to the process.
Choosing a database sample file
To choose a database sample file:
1. Open the Data Selector (see "The Data Selector" on page713).
2. From the Emulation drop-down list, select Database.
3. Next to the Sample data file field, click the Configure Database button.
