Complex mapping example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



// image::itemmap.png[]
image::complex-itemmap.png[]


We accomplish this by configuring the testconfigs of our tests C D and E as follows:

.Testconfig for Test E has
----------------------
[requirements]
waiton C

. Test A has no waitons.  All waitons of all tests in full list have been processed.  Full list is finalized.



itemstable
~~~~~~~~~~
An alternative to defining items is the itemstable section.  This lets you define the itempath in a table format rather than specifying components and relying on getting all permutations of those components.





Dynamic Flow Dependency Tree
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.Autogeneration waiton list for dynamic flow dependency trees
-------------------
[requirements]

To transfer the environment to the next step you can do the following:

.Propagate environment to next step
----------------------------
$MT_MEGATEST -env2file .ezsteps/${stepname}	  
----------------------------

Scripts
~~~~~~~

.Specifying scripts inline (best used for only simple scripts)
----------------------------
[scripts]
loaddb #!/bin/bash
  sqlite3 $1 <<EOF
  .mode tabs
  .import $2 data
  .q
  EOF
----------------------------

The above snippet results in the creation of an executable script
called "loaddb" in the test directory. NOTE: every line in the script
must be prefixed with the exact same number of spaces. Lines beginning
with a # will not work as expected. Currently you cannot indent
intermediate lines.

# You can include a common file
#
[include #{getenv MT_RUN_AREA_HOME}/global-testconfig.inc]

# Use "var" for a scratch pad
