Property Loader - how to load sub-sequence limits from main

[Erik_Wilmot]

Hi all,

I would like to use a single Excel file (or .csv file or .txt file) to manage my upper/lower limits for both my "main" sequence and the "sub-sequences" that are called by "main" (even though they reside in different .seq files).  How do I load upper/lower limits for those "sub-sequence" step names from the Property Loader step in my "main" setup?  What's the syntax to access those sub-sequence step names?  Alternatively, I could do a Property Loader step in the setup of my "sub-sequence", but I still want all my specs in a single Excel file (for ease of management/release/update);  so what does the Property Loader do if it finds a step name tag in the .xls file which doesn't match any of the steps in the current sequence...does it ignore that name and move to the next step name until it finds a step name that matches one of the current local steps, or does it cause an error?

Thanks for the info,

Erik

Hi,

If you are using TestStand 3.5 then you can specify All Sequences in the Property Loader, but unfortunately all sequences have to be in the same sequence file.

So if you have seperate sequence file then you would have to have a loader step for each of the sequence files.

Hope this helps
