Generating sample data

Procedure

Double-click tRowGenerator to open its RowGenerator Editor view.
Click the [+] button twice to add two columns and name them to id and name, respectively.
In the Functions column, select the TalendString.getAsciiRandomString(int) function for id and TalendDataGenerator.getFirstName() for name.
In the Number of rows for RowGenerator field, enter the number of rows to be created in each generation. In this example, enter 100.
Click OK to validate these changes and accept the propagation prompted by the pop-up dialog box.
In the Input repetition interval field in the Basic settings view, enter the time interval (in milliseconds) every time at the end of which tRowGenerator generates a set of data, the set of 100 rows. In this example, it is 3000 milliseconds.
