We all know that parameterization is used to pass unique user inputs to the application and we have different type of parameters to achieve this uniqueness. One such parameter is Date & Time parameter. Here Date & Time values are appended to the text to generate unique user parameters.
We are all familiar with this. But most of us are not familiar with the Offset option at the bottom of the parameterization dialog box in Image A , which is what will be explained in this post.
Offset - This defines the number of days the date value should be adjusted in the past or in the future.
Simply, Offset takes you to the past & future dates & time.
Offset Parameter by - this is where you define the number of days & time value for which the adjustment should happen. but we have not defined if this should be in the past or in the future.This can be done in the next option.
In the Image A we are offsetting the date & time parameter by 1 day.
Prior to current date - When you check this box, dates are adjust to the past. If this box is unchecked dates are adjust to the future.
In the Image A, Prior to current date option is checked which means we are offsetting the date & time parameter by 1 day in the past. So the Parameter value will be 2018-06-26.
Working days only - When you check this box only weekdays are considered (i.e) Saturday & Sunday will not be included in the parameter calculation. If this box is unchecked all the 7 days of the week will be included in the parameter calculation.
Where Offset option will be useful?
1. If you are doing a search in the application to retrieve records from the past days.
2. If your application is using the future dates to mark the due dates.
Simply we can use this, wherever the application uses past & future dates.
Note : All these can also be done using the lr_save_datetime loadrunner function.
