What is the copied_from field in sys_atf_step table.

[Susmitha14]

Hi,

What is the copied_from field in sys_atf_step table. I have implemented the test cases in dev instance and when I am tried to move to the test instance then  Could not find a record in sys_atf_step for column copied_from referenced in this update I am getting the same error. In dev instance when I am creating the tests I have created one dummy test case and when implementing remaining test cases I have copied from that test case. After completion of my test cases I have deleted that test case. So What I should do for these errors. And what is the main cause for getting this error. IF I have done skip remote update for these errors, will it affect the tests in the test instance.

Hi,

You copied the Test but the Parent Test present in the Copied From field is not captured in your update set.

So it won't find it when you migrate to next instance.

You can Accept the Updates from your error

HI Ankur,

I have created the parent test also in the same update set. But what is the copied from field on the test step table.

Hi,

So here is an example

1) Test 1 has 5 Test Steps

2) Now you wish to copy the same Test 1 but add few more test steps

a) what you do is go on the Test 1 and click Copy Test

b) it creates another Test with name as Test 1 Copy and adds all those 5 Test Steps in the newly created Test 1 Copy

c) During this process it populates the Copied from field on Test 1 Copy with Test 1

d) same is with the Test Steps under Test 1 Copy

Example:
