Hi @mint

To handle issues with the Mark Consumed property, here are some tips that might help:

First off, be mindful of how you manage data consumption. If you set ‘Mark Consumed’ to ‘True’, the data item will be marked as processed and won’t be available for future runs. This is great if you want to make sure each piece of data is used just once. If you need to reuse the same data, set it to ‘False’, so you can pull it from the queue again.

Next, it’s a good idea to reset or refresh your test data queue regularly. Clear out old data and add new items to keep everything up-to-date. This way, you ensure your test cases always have fresh and relevant data.

Also, make sure to check if the data is still available before processing. This simple step helps avoid issues with already consumed data. And don’t forget to set up logging and monitoring to keep track of your data and make sure everything is running smoothly.

Lastly, use error handling and retry options to deal with any hiccups when fetching data. This will help your tests manage interruptions gracefully and keep running without problems.

Hi @logesh_svelu thanks for the tips ,

However if you are running test cases automation so i think everyone pretends that we don’t need to make any change / any manual effort is required. So i think if we Mark Consumed then it should not get pulled for execution as at the end it is going to marked as Failed and the reason will be as all item in queue is consumed as if we are running for multiple data variation for one test case then it will get marked as failed due to this reason as all are consumed no client wants to see that way.
and if that is regression way of testing then that will need you interaction with the process everyday. So that why i am looking if we have any way to get this fixed or alternate way
