This dialog box helps you to set general task properties. The
most important properties are:
- Task name - displayed in the task list in the main program
window.
- Number of iterations to be performed before the task is
executed. Important: this option works with "by task
property" execution mode only.
- Number of concurrent threads the program should create for a
task of this type.
- Text of the SQL statement representing the content of the task
- it is exactly what will be executed within this task. You should
switch on "Use SQL parser" option in case you want to use complex
script (set of SQL statements). "go" or ";" statements separators
are recommended. There are two ways to specify SQL script:
immediately entering or external file reference.
Also, this dialog box allows you to load an SQL statement from a
file on the disk (the "Load" button), from SQL Library and to test if the current statement
is correct (the "Test" button).
The stress tool allows you to select one of three ways to use
the file with data. In the first case,
all task threads use the file with data independently. It means
that they open the file on their own and sequentially process
records in it. In the second case, each thread uses only one set of
values (a string with data) from the file. In this case, the number
of strings in the file with data must coincide with the number of
threads launched for the task. The third way is when all threads
read from the file sequentially.
Note: the user can specify default values for most important
task properties at Settings window.
