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.

Getting Started Guide
This guide provides an overview of HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find the task flows to get you started with HCL OneTest Server. This guide is intended for new users.
Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install the HCL OneTest™ Server software.
Test Author Guide
This guide describes how to create test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server and publish test assets to the Git repository that you have configured. You can also edit existing test assets that are in the repository added to your project. This guide is intended for testers and test managers.
Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you must complete before you can configure and run tests in HCL OneTest™ Server. You can find information about configuring runs for the different test types that are supported. You can also find information about other tasks that you can perform on the Resource Monitoring Service, Virtualization, and Integrations with third-party applications. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
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.
- 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

        Implementing a library EXIT function
        EXIT function's library interface
        Using the EXITPARAM Structure
      - GET
      - JEXIT
      - PUT
      - RUN
      - RENAMEFILE
        The RENAMEFILE function renames the source file to that of the destination file. If the operation succeeds, the returned value is 0; if it fails, then an operating system-specific error number is returned.
      - HARDLINKFILE
        A hard link points or references to a specific space on the hard drive. Multiple files can be hard linked to the same space in the hard drive. If some data is changed on one of the hard linked files, all the other files reflect that change. The HARDLINKFILE function returns the hard link file's command status. On successful execution of this function: 0 is returned; on failure: an operating system-specific error code is returned.
      - SOFTLINKFILE
        A soft link points to a specific file, which in turn, references to a particular location on the hard drive. The soft link, also known as symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. The SOFTLINKFILE function returns the soft (symbolic) link file's command status. On successful execution of this function: 0 is returned; on failure: an operating system-specific error code is returned.
      - COPYFILE
        The COPYFILE function copies the source file to the destination file. It returns the copy file command status. On successful execution of this function: 0 is returned; on failure: an operating system-specific error code is returned.
      - SLEEP
        The SLEEP function suspends the execution of the current map until the time-out interval elapses. The time-out or sleep interval is represented in milliseconds. On successful execution of this function: 0 is returned; on failure: -1 is returned.
    - Inspection functions
    - Logical functions
    - Lookup and reference functions
    - Math and statistics functions
    - Text functions
    - XML functions
    - Custom functions
