Limitations of DataLoader Step Type

• DataLoader is not supported in a Shell Test.

• One DataLoader step type is associated with only one PSQuery, and only standard queries are supported

• Data with hierarchy can not be recognized in current DataLoader.

• DataLoader doesn’t support changing login user during runtime.

• DataLoader and Loop must be defined in the same test.

• Bind a Loop step type with a DataLoader step type. The Loop uses variables defined in the DataLoader. Variables from different DataLoader step types cannot be used within the same loop. Assign the value of a variable from a different DataLoader step type to a new variable associated with the Loop.

• If a date field is used as a prompt, the FieldValue must be entered as YYYY-MM-DD in the QASrun request.

• The query parameter name in DataLoader Editor is limited to 20 characters, if the length of parameter name is larger than 20, it will be truncated and suspension points will be added at the end.
