I'm trying to write a test in keyword view with 4 actions and local data tables for two of the actions. From what I understand it should run Action 1 once (no parameters), Action 2 four times (4 rows in a local data table), Action 3 four times (4 rows in a local data table), and Action 4 once (no parameters) in that order.
However what is happening is that the entire test is being executed once, accessing only the first lines of the local data tables for Actions 2 & 3, if there is nothing in the Global data table. If I put four rows in the Global data table it runs through all iterations but in the following order: Action 1, Action 2 - row 1, Action 3 - row 1, Action 4; Action 1, Action 2 - row 2, Action 3 - row 2, Action 4;...
Any ideas on why Actions 2 & 3 aren't iterating based on their local data tables?
Change the Option in Action-Call Properties to run on all rows, for actions 2 and 3
Thank you so much. I'd set that option globally, but didn't realize that I had to set it for the individual actions :S

Hello Niranjan,
Action-Call Properties doesn't contain the Data table Iteration... These Data Table iterations for total Test...!
Run one iteration only,
Run on all rows
Run from rows to -- rows
are iterates whole test...
thanks & regards

Hello Breaker,
First, get clarification on Test Run... How QTP will run the Test and Action and any function calls.... practice by using debugging... and observe carefully step by step and also observe the variable values in Debug viewer pane..
QTP will run the test sequentially from step1 to step n....! what ever it may be new action or any function call...
The step will jumps from Action/function Call to Called Function or Called Action.
If you wanna run one action with several iterations, just call that action with that no. of iterations just as...
RunAction "Action Name", no.of iterations, parameters if any
You can run that action with no. of iterations available data in your local sheet... accessing the data from local sheet to that action is not an issue. you can do it easily...
thanks & regards,

Hi,
Defaulty QTP takes Global Data sheet iterations for any Action.
For Eg:
1.Global Datasheet contains 4 rows and Local Datasheet contains 1 row,totally it takes 4 iterations on the Data table.
2.Local Datasheet contains 1 row and Global Datasheet contains 4 rows,finally it takes 1 iterations on Data table.
Thanks

Hi,
Global Sheet iterates as many times the rows present
local sheet iterates just once eventhough you have 4 rows or more rows for this you have to add Loop in your script then it will iterate as many rows you have.
* One more Point if you want to use local sheet you should not have any data in Global sheet because if u have data in global & in local sheet it still takes global data only automatically.
Example:loop
introwcount=dataTable.getsheet("Action1").getrowcount
msgbox introwcount (shows how mnay rows present in table)
for i=1 to introwcount (iterate from 1 to how many rows present in the table)
DataTable.setcurrentRow(i) , (if we give this in locall all rows will iterate)

This is an interesting point. I have a similar problem with the DataTable and I want to ask you to find a solution for me:
