Rsource data values

You can work with resources to share data at runtime between different running simulations.

To use data from a resource, specify the syntax {FROM[resource name][column][condition]} with the step properties Insert, Verify, or Trigger.

Parameter	Description
Resource name	Specify the name of the resource that contains the data you want to use.
Column	Specify the column in which you want to search.
Condition	Define a SQL WHERE clause to narrow the value you want to use.

Example

In this example, we read data from a resource named movies, which is a CSV table of movies.

The trigger step waits for a message with a uri property containing the value movies. If an incoming message meets this condition, API simulation uses an XBuffer to save the value of the property id.
The next step inserts a value from the movies resource. Specifically, it reads the value of the title column from the row whose id matches the buffered id.
