Input Tab

Specifies the InputRecordStream or CSV file that provides values for sweep parameters using the Stream strategy . An input stream is not required if no parameters use the Stream strategy.

The Input tab contains the following options:

• Enable Input —Check this box to enable input for this loop. If checked, the input controls are enabled, and the Sweep Loop will read the next record from the specified InputRecordStream or CSV file at the beginning of each iteration. Data from the stream will be stored to the locations specified for parameters using the Stream Strategy on the Sweep Parameters tab .
• Specify file path by expression —Check this box to choose the CSV File Path by entering an expression.
• Input via CSV —Browse to and select the CSV file to read from.
  • CSV File Path —Specify the CSV file path to read from.
  • Data Tag —Specify a tag that defines the start location.
    • Ignore Case —Select this checkbox to make comparisons case-insensitive for Data Tag.
• Skip lines —Specify the number of lines to skip before reading. If both Data Tag and Skip Lines are provided, the tag is searched for first. When the tag is found, the specified number of lines are skipped. Reading continues from the next line in the CSV file.
• Separator Character —Choose a separator character from the drop down menu.
• Input via Stream —An object reference specifying the InputRecordStream to read from.
• Auto Close —Check this box to automatically clean up the input stream at the end of the loop. When this box is checked, upon terminating the loop, the Sweep Loop step closes the stream and sets the object reference in the InputRecordStream expression to Nothing .
  Note Automatic cleanup only occurs if the loop terminates normally by completing its sweep or through a Break step . Cleanup does not occur if execution flow exits the loop for some other reason, such as through a Goto step .
