SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Usage Note 57331: In SAS® Enterprise GRC, you can specify a new parameter to assign a tester to multiple controls in a test definition
 |  |  |  |  |
By default, you must select a tester for each control in a test definition in SAS Enterprise GRC. The selection process for testers might be time-consuming when a test definition contains many controls.
To select testers for multiple controls in one step, you can specify a new globalTester parameter for the LinkedControlTable component in the Test Definition screen definition file. For example, you could specify the following:
<field type="component"
component-name="LinkedControlTable"
name="linkedControl" required="true">
<param name="statusFilter">APPROVED</param>
<param name="globalTester" value="'ADDALL'" />
</field>
The valid values for the globalTester parameter are the following:
- ADDALL: The selected tester is added to all the controls currently associated with the test definition, in addition to any testers previously assigned to those controls.
- FORCE: The selected tester is assigned to all the controls currently associated with the test definition. The selected tester overwrites all the testers previously assigned to the controls.
- EMPTYONLY: The selected tester is assigned to the controls that do not already have an assigned tester.
To enable the capability to select multiple testers, you must also specify the following configuration property in the configdata.properties file:
monitor.controlTesting.newTestsLocation = useTestDef
