Creating a Data Generation Plan

Creating a Data Generation Plan

To perform a data generation operation, you create a plan and add data generation components to the plan. When you add data generation components, you cannot add data subset or data masking components to the same plan.
  1. Open a project and click

  6. To skip adding the subset components, click
    Next
    .
  7. To add the generation components to the plan, click
    Add Generation Components
    .
  8. Select the entities and the tables to add to the plan. If you want to generate test data in an XML file, select the XSD file to add to the plan.
  9. Click
    OK

    .
  14. To configure generation plan settings, enter the number of records that you want to generate.
  15. Configure connection and target properties. If the target is a flat file, you can configure test tool integration properties. If you select the test data warehouse as the target connection, you can enter the data set properties.
  16. To make changes to data generation, error recovery, and advanced settings, you can edit the settings.
  17. Click
    Next
    .
  18. Click
