Generating random Java data
The following scenario creates a two-component Job, generating 50 rows structured as follows: a randomly picked-up ID in a 1-to-3 range, a random ascii First Name and Last Name generation and a random date taken in a defined range.
Procedure
-
Define the fields to be generated.
-
The random ID column is of integer type, the First and Last names are of string type and the Date is of date type.
-
In the Function list, select the relevant function or set on the three dots for custom function.
-
On the Function parameters tab, define the Values to be randomly picked up.
-
First_Name and Last_Name columns are to be generated using the getAsciiRandomString function that is predefined in the system routines. By default, the length defined is 6 characters long. You can change this if need be.
-
The Date column calls the predefined getRandomDate function. You can edit the parameter values in the Function parameters tab.
-
-
Press F6 to run the Job.
The 50 rows are generated following the setting defined in the tRowGenerator editor and the output is displayed in the Run console.
