Replacement data pools

Introduction

Having chosen to configure data pool replacements for a virtual environment, a new replacement rule is displayed, ready for you to configure:

Having defined the first rule, you can add more - you must create one replacement rule for every data pool that you need to replace in every process flow that will run in this environment.

Defining replacement rules for a data pool

1

Select the required ORIGINAL data pool

Use the original dropdown list to select the first data pool in a 'master' process flow that must be replaced when this process flow runs in the given virtual environment - for example:

As you work through your replacement configuration, it's helpful to view related 'master' process flows in another browser tab. You can duplicate a Patchworks browser tab and navigate to a different page whenever needed.

2

Select the required REPLACEMENT data pool

Use the replacement dropdown list to select the replacement data pool that must be used when this process flow runs in the given virtual environment - for example:

3

Confirm your selections

Click the create button (associated with this replacement rule) to confirm your selections:

The rule is added:

Once a rule is confirmed, it can't be edited. If you need to change a replacement rule, use the 'trash' icon to remove it and add a new one.

Add more replacement rules for data pools

To add another replacement rule for a data pool, click the top-right create button:

Update the new rule as required, then click the associated create button to confirm your selections:

Repeat as many times as needed to define all required data pool replacements for all process flows that will be running in this virtual environment.

If you don't want to define ALL data pool replacements now, that's OK. For example, you might choose to add the minimum number of replacements needed for testing, then define remaining rules (in a new draft) later, after initial testing is complete.
