Random String Parameter cavisson systems

Random String Parameter is used to generate a random string of characters whose length is also random but lies within a specified range. The character set ,with which the random string will be formed, should be mentioned first. cavisson systems

Random String Parameter window cavisson systems

1.Parameter Name ‘Parameter name’ is a ‘random string parameter Variable Name’ which is used to access this parameter in the entire script. Variable name consists of only English alphabet and _ (it also accepts alpha-numeric name). cavisson systems

2.Character Set This field is used to define the character set from which NetStorm will generate random String. Character set can be ‘a-z’ ‘A-Z’ and ‘0-9’ and their sub-sets. You can use their combination e.g. b-e1-3 In this case the string generated will be from b, c, d, e, 1, 2, 3 characters only. Multiple character set should be defined like this a-z0-9A-Z (without any gap or comma) cavisson systems

3.Minimum Here you can specify minimum length of the string. It can range from 0-10,000. cavisson systems

4.Maximum Here you can specify maximum length of the string. It can range from 0-1,000,000 cavisson systems

5.Update Value On This field is used to tell Netstorm when to generate new string: It has two options:- Session use contt.. cavisson systems

Means generate string once and use this value for the entire session i.e. If ‘session’ is chosen, random string is generated only for first use of Random string Parameter. Then for the entire script, same value is used.   Use:: Means generate string every time Random String Parameter is used. i.e. If ‘Use’ is chosen, random string is generated for each use of Random String Parameter. For example::If Random String Parameter is used 50 times in script, then in case of ‘use’, for every reference, new random string is generated. cavisson systems

Example:: In this example, we will use Tours script and generate Random String for Street Address used in Confirmation Page. cavisson systems

1. Open registration. spec file and right-click in right pane 1. Open registration.spec file and right-click in right pane. Choose Parameters > Random String Parameters. cavisson systems

2. Click ADD button cavisson systems

3. Set following values cavisson systems

4. Click on OK > Close. You will notice following 4. Click on OK > Close. You will notice following API in registration.spec file :- nsl_random_string_var(StreetAddress, Min=10, Max=30, CharSet="A-G0-9", Refresh=SESSION); cavisson systems

After ParameterizationConfirmation Page looks like as shown below:- 5. Click on Save button and open flow file (hpd.c). Here street address will be parameterized which is on Page Confirmation.
