Import list of tests created with Replicator

simpleuser · Post by **simpleuser** » Fri Jul 18, 2014 8:42 am

I am using Replicator to copy 3 tests to 700 other systems. I did an initial test with just 5 systems. It created the text file as documented but when I go to "Import from text file...." it errors out stating "HostMonitor response: Error. Import rejected: Invalid folder name (Line #xxx)" I tried creating the folder manually for the first system and the next time I tried running the Line # jumped to the next system in the text file.

Is there something I am missing? I was hoping it would create the folders for each system since. Or do I need to go create a separate folder manually for each system i'm trying to generate in this?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to replicate folders as well, use CreateFolder command within import file.
----------
e.g.
CreateFolder = Root\USA Branch\Support\part2\
creates new folder(s). The value of this parameter should specify the full
path to the folder that you want to create.
CreateFolder = Root\USA Branch\Support\part2\ will successively create
folders USA Branch (in the Root folder), Support (in USA Branch subfolder)
and part2 (in Support subfolder). Of course if some (or all) of specified
folders already exist, HostMonitor will not create second copy of them.
