Referencing options so that they can be used
A data source is registered in the metadata table slTestdataOptionTypes. As cSharpClass the class name is to be entered, which results from:
Scopeland.TestDataGeneration.RandomNew.Options.<NameDerOption>
for example:
Scopeland.TestDataGeneration.RandomNew.Options.EncodingOption
Only those options should be referenced which have “Impl.” set to “yes”!
