Iterations settings

[swetha.b]

Hi ALL,

My test run starts from login and ends with creating a record with few combinations involved in between.

My requirement is this- After first iteration I want QTP not to start over again with login page rather to just start with creating an Account record.
So could any body help me how do I set this condition?

Note: Login should only happen in the first iterations rest all should follow from creating a record.

Hi ,

Try with the below steps:

Step1 :
File>Settings>Run>choose "Run Only One Iteration"

Step2:

Code:

'  Login Code
       ----------
       ----------
       ----------
     For i=1 to Datatable.GetSheet("AccountCreation").GetRowCount
           Datatable.GetSheet("AccountCreation").SetCurrentRow(i)
            ------ Account Creation code here -------
     Next

[nil]

Try to make use of Reusable Action

Creat Login ,Add Account Action.

Call Login ' First Call

Call Add Account
'
'
'
'
'
'
'
n times


Thanks

Diclare a global variable

Code:

Dim bLoggedIn = False

Function Login()
if bLoggedIn = False Then
   "Login here"
   bLoggedIn = True
End If
End Function

call this function in your script.

Hi,
Try these Steps below:
1: Split the action from where you need qtp to do the iteration.
2: Set action call properties of login action as " Run one iteration only" and the other action as per the requirement through action call properties.

Hi All,
@samson . I have done the same settings , I split the login action as one - Action 1_1 and account creation as Action 1_2.
For Action1_1 - Action call properties- One Iteration only
For Action 1_2 - Action call properties - Run on all rows.
Note: Login details are not in the data table. They set as constants in the script.

When I run the test .. I happen to see login page every time an iteration ends. I even noticed that due to these settings only one row in the datatable is executed/retrieved on every iteration. Implies same record is created every time QTP runs next iteration.

Was there a mistake in my settings??

@ Srikanth

My datatable is in global sheet.

How do I declare this statement :- For i=1 to Datatable.GetSheet("AccountCreation").GetRowCount??

Could you be more clear on the explanation please.

Thanks

The Action which we need to iterate for n times , need to perameterized right.
1: If so, we need to create a local sheet for qtp to pass the values to the required field (not in Global sheet).
2: Then set the Action Call Properties.

Thank you,
