Checkpoint Wizard - Selecting Checkpoint Data (Database Table Checkpoints)

1. Click Retrieve data from a database and enter a name for the new item in the Save data to a new Stores item edit box.

   Note:

   The specified name will be used to address the checkpoint from tests, so this name must be a valid identifier. To create the name that will match the naming rules adopted by all supported scripting languages, enter a string that starts with a letter and contains only letters, digits and underscore symbols.

2. To specify the connection settings, click the ellipsis button of the Connection string box. This will invoke the standard Data Link Properties dialog where you can specify the database, from which the data should be retrieved.

   Note:

   If the connection string includes the database file name, then the settings will be computer-dependent. They may become invalid if you move the project to another computer. To avoid this problem, place the database file in a shared folder and use the network path to the file when specifying the connection settings. See also Computer-Specific Settings.

3. In the User name and Password fields you specify the user name and password for connecting to the database.

   The name and password are stored in the TestComplete project files in an encrypted form.

Click Use stored data option button and select the desired element from the Stores item list.
