- 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.

LASTERRORCODE

The LASTERRORCODE function returns a text item whose value is the last error code returned by one of a specified set of functions during map execution.

You can use LASTERRORCODE to interrogate or report the error code returned by one of the external interface functions.

Syntax:: LASTERRORCODE ( )
Meaning:: LASTERRORCODE ( )
Returns:: A single text item

LASTERRORCODE has no arguments but it requires parentheses.

LASTERRORCODE returns a text item whose value is the last error code returned by one of a specified set of functions during map execution.

The following functions can fail:

DBLOOKUP
DBQUERY
DDEQUERY
EXIT
GET
PUT
RUN

Examples

Message = VALID ( RUN ( "Map1Msg.mmc" , "-AE -OMMSMQ1B `-QN .\aqueue -CID 2001'" ), FAIL ( "Failure on RUN (" + TEXT (LASTERRORCODE ( ) ) + "):" + LASTERRORMSG ( ) ) )
In this example, the LASTERRORCODE and LASTERRORMSG functions are being used in conjunction with the FAIL and VALID functions to fail (abort) the map if the map executed by the RUN function (Map1Msg.mmc) fails. In this example, the map fails and returns the error code and error message reported by the RUN function using the LASTERRORCODE and LASTERRORMSG functions.

If Map1Msg fails because one or more of its inputs was invalid, Message is assigned a value of "none". The map aborts and the following message is reported in the execution audit log:

Failure on RUN (8): One or more inputs was invalid.
