This file datasource uses a text file that has 10 lines in it, each line is a phone number like 9495550000 The data loop as it is doesn't terminate. What could be going wrong? The screen shot s...
HI,
I've never seen a loop used that way - what's the purpose behind it?
When you specify a datasource loop - you have to specify the target step and the datasource step. Currently your target step is the same as your datasource step - typically the Target Step value is some sort of Request (REST/SOAP etc.) that uses the data from the datasource in some way - so you point the loop's target step back to the request that uses the data - not the datasource step itself.
If you stuck a REST request in between the datasource and the loop steps and specified the target step in the loop config as the REST request - this should execute as many times as the number of lines of data in your datasource file.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
