Reference Guide
This guide describes conceptual information about data design environment components when you want to use the data fabrication feature in HCL OneTest™ Server.
Schema design
A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
Type properties
The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
Item properties
Number item subclass properties

- Files
  You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
- Connections
  A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
- Schema design
  A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
  - Introduction to schema design
    Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - Type properties
    The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
  - Item restrictions
    Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
  - Components
  - Partitioning
  - Type inheritance
  - Schema analyzer
  - Distinguishable objects
  - Functions and expressions

Sign

Use the Item Subclass Sign property to define whether the number is signed for either the Integer or Decimal value. A sign is a symbol that identifies a number as being either positive or negative. A positive sign is plus (+); a negative sign is negative (-).

Yes: The number is signed. Expands the Sign property to define the sign values. If the Sign property is Yes, a minimum of at least one sign value (If number is +, If number is -, or If number is 0) must be specified and at least one value must be required as input.
No: The number is not signed. This is the default setting.

When you select Yes, you can further define the sign values. The following sub-options are available:

Leading-: The sign precedes the number when it is negative only. For input, a sign is required for negative data, but is optional for positive data.
Trailing-: The sign follows the number when it is negative only. For input, a sign is required for negative data, but is optional for positive data.
Leading+: The sign always precedes the number. A sign is required for input and output data.
Trailing+: The sign always follows the number. A sign is required for input and output data.
Custom: Defaults to Leading- but can be changed.

Sign values may be specified for the following:

If Number is + (positive numbers)
If Number is - (negative numbers)
If Number is 0 (value of zero)

For each value (If number is +, If number is -, or If number is 0), specify the following:

Leading sign

Enter the symbol to be placed before a number.

Trailing sign

Enter the symbol to be placed after a number.

Required on input

If the number has a sign, at least one value (If number is +, If number is -, or If number is 0) must be required on input. Select an option from the drop-down list:

Yes: The sign is mandatory on input.
No: The sign is optional on input.
