Choosing a sample data file
In order to create your PReS Workflow process, the sample data you are going to use has to
correspond precisely to the job files that will be treated by that process, at least in terms of
structure.
The sample data file should have a relatively small number of records (generally less than a
hundred) in order to be processed quickly, while your actual data may be much larger and take
more time to 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 PReS 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841).
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 clicking 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 Connect Resources > Data Mapping Configurations > [your data mapping
configuration], right-click a data file and choose Set as sample data file.
