FileFixedLoadGlobal Function

Action

Reads a file in a fixed length ASCII format into memory. The function is equivalent to the FileFixedLoad function except that the pointer to the current row is maintained globally between virtual users at one machine. That means that all virtual users of the file at one machine use of the same global row pointer for the current row. Therefore you can sequentially access a file from multiple virtual users.

If the file name includes a directory name, the file is opened in the specified directory. Otherwise, Silk Performer searches for the file in the directory where the test script is located, in the data directory, in the results directory and in the project directory.

If you are going to use remote agents for the load test, you should store your data files in the Data directory or in the directory where the test script is located. Note that in any case you have to add the data files to your load-testing project.
