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

TEXTTOQUOTED

The TEXTTOQUOTED encoding function converts a text or binary item to Quoted-Printable format.

Syntax:: TEXTTOQUOTED (single_object_expression)
Meaning:: TEXTTOQUOTED (object_to_convert)
Returns:: A single text or binary item

You can use this function to encode data that largely consists of octets that correspond to printable characters in the US-ASCII character set. It encodes the data in such a way that the resulting octets are unlikely to be modified by mail transport.

Quoted-Printable lines cannot be longer than 76 characters. Data with lines greater than 76 characters are broken up and indicated with soft breaks of "=<CR><LF>".

If an error occurs during conversion, no data is returned.

Example

This example converts the <FF> (form feed) character, into a hexadecimal representation, and indicates the end of data with a soft break.

TEXTTOQUOTED("Unencoded data<FF>Encoded")

Output: Unencoded data=0CEncoded=

The data is converted using the Quoted-Printable encoding as per RFC 1767.
