Hi,

I am using eCATT for uploading data. However, the ECATT is skipping some of the ROWS in my external File

Example

[VARIANT] [DESCRIPTION] Z_VAR1

1 HELLO

2 HELLO2

3 HELLO3

it skips row 2.

Please advice

Thanks!

Hi,

This is difficult to judge where the problem is.

Please check whether you have '' at the beginning of the line. Lines starting with '' are regarded as comments and would not be uploaded. For example, the following line of data would not be uploaded:

*2 HELLO2

Also, to ensure that your file has the right format for the eCATT tool to use, the best is to maintain one or two variants in your test configuration, then download the data to a local txt file. Afterwards use MS Excel to open it and maintain your data there. The purpose of creating one or two variants in your test configuration is to just give you an idea where to maintain what when opening the txt file with MS Excel. If you do not want to do it, it should not be a big problem either.

Hopefully it helps.
