How do Configuration Files Work? 

To use one or more Configuration Files for test data generation, you must do the following: 

  1. Create each Configuration File for the desired output format.
  2. Specify the Configuration File Name in each Merge Receiver's configName Parameter.
  3. Specify the Output File Name format. 
  4. Configure Segment Files (varies per output type).
  5. Arrange elements by clicking and dragging. For nested output, one element should be the parent.
  6. Download the Configuration file or files to your local machine.


Note: Configuration files need to be placed in the path specified for the following Merge Receiver parameters:
