Each job execution has job ID,while runningjobfrom the portal using job ID canassist forexample incase we would like all the testsinthe job to use the same file - the file name could be the job exaction ID - unique name for this specific execution.
In order to retrieve the execution ID we should use QUALI API library.
Say the first test in the job retrieve some information from the different DUT's (versions, vendors) and would like to savethese informationin file so all the other tests in the jobcabuse this info.
We can create an infrastructure function: "Get job id", all the tests in the execution will use it - the first function will use it - create the file (the file name would be the job id), and all the other tests use this function in order to know which file to seek.
The following steps explain how to create the "Get job id" function:
1. In TestShell Studio createnew test namein:"Getjob id"
2. Find theQualiAPI library and drag it into the canvas.
3. Open the library step and set the login credentials (TestShell portal credentials).
4. Open the 'Get Running Jobs' function - this functionpresentall the current running jobs.
5.Oncase only 1 job available - we are good
6. Otherwise can filter the matrix using the following filters:
a. Filter base on the current test name - we can use the "self.InternalPath+\+self.Name" expression in order to get the test name.
b. Filter base running machine - we can use the "hostname" expression in order to retrieve the current execution server.
c. Filter base Job Owner - we can tell how is the user whoinjectthe job.
7. Working with these filters should give you the relevant JOB ID
8. Let's assume that we have 2 different jobs which run the same test on the same execution server on the same time by the same owner --> we can implement a While condition:
a. As long we have more than 1 result
i. Wait 5 seconds
ii. Try again
