"jumping" actions and iterations in UFT

[Krystian Wojewski]

Hello,

I have a scenario when I have 2 iteration rows in Action 1 and 10 iteration rows in Action 2.

Is it possible to run first iteration in Action 1, then just 5 iterations from Action 2, second iteration from Action 1 and rest 5 iterations from Action 2?

Is it even possible? If so, is there any guidance?

Regards,
Krystian

Add this as your first line in Action1

If Environment("TestIteration") = 2 Then

    ExitActionIteration

End If

You then then do simialr in Action2

Hello Mark,
I tried this:
If Environment("TestIteration") = 2 Then
ExitActionIteration
End If
MsgBox DataTable("Value", dtLocalSheet)

In localSheet I have a column named "Value" with three lines and this does not work. Do you know why? I have checked settings and Action Call Properties are set "run on all rows".

The vartypes may be different which is why the If stmt fails, try:

If Cint(Environment("TestIteration")) = 2 Then
ExitActionIteration
End If

That is correct Mark. Thank you!

Hi @Sperk it works good with

If Cint(Environment("ActionIteration")) = x Then
ExitActionIteration

however test does not go back to action 1 when finished some lines in action 2. Then I want it to go back to action 2 again to finish some lines there. Is it possible?

BR,

You would probably need to do something like:

DataTable("Action1",dtLocalSheet).SetCurrentRow = x

Hi,

I think this does not work as in "Action1" should be column name, not action name:

The retrieve DataTable.Value operation failed. The <DD recon> column does not exist.

It should be the local datasheet name for Action1. I just assumed the sheet would be called Action1.

Hi, exactly, DD recon is name for Action1. So it does not work with local datasheet name for action. UFT suggests there should be column name.

Look in the help for 'SetCurrentRow' and 'SetNextRow. These are methods used to manually traverse the datatable rows when you do not just want to process rows 1 to n in order.
