BOL Test Tool - Public Layer (tlbct3250m000)
Use this session to test the public methods of a Business Object as they occur in the BOL.
To perform a test
- Specify the Test ID and Description .
- Select the business object and the public method to be tested.
- For all methods except List, click and specify the instance values for the Request argument of the selected method.
- For the List and Show methods only, click and select the attributes for the selected method. The attribute selection is part of the Request argument.
- For the List and Show methods, optionally click to define a filter or a condition for the selected method. The Filter is part of the Request argument.
- Click to perform the test. The test results are shown in a Menu Browser.
- View the test results.
Upon completion of the test, optionally click to store the test data in the test history, so that you can reuse the test later.
Developers mode
You can run this session in developers mode.
In that mode, these additional commands are available:
To run the session in developers mode, specify in the configuration properties of your BW interface, this command:
-set TMODE=1
If you use the Infor Enterprise Server Web UI interface, you cannot work in developers mode.
Buttons
These buttons are available:
- Execute Test
- Performs the test. Sends the Request argument to the public layer. Receives the
Response and Result arguments from the public layer, and shows the arguments in
Menu Browsers.
You must have specified the request argument before you can perform the test.
See To execute a test.
The Response and Result arguments are saved automatically. You can use the button to view these arguments later.
- Change Curr PVRC
- Starts the session. Changing your current package VRC is useful if you want to test a Business Object from another package.
- Update History
- Adds the details, such as the Business Object, method, and request argument, of a
new test case to the History, or
updates the history data of an existing test case. The details are stored by test
ID and login name.
To reuse a saved test case, zoom on the Test ID field, which starts the session, and select the desired test ID from the list.
- Copy History
- Copies the current test case to a new test case in the History. The new test ID is specified in a separate dialog box.
- Remove History
- Removes all information that is related to the current test ID from the test history.
- Show XML
- Shows the XML code of the incoming and outgoing messages in read-only mode using
your default XML editor.
This option is only available in developers mode.
- Enter Request
- Starts a Menu Browser, in which you can specify the instance values of the
request argument.Note: Mandatory elements are marked with an asterisk (*).
- Define Selection
- Starts a graphical browser, in which you can select the attributes for the List and Show methods.
- Define Filter
- Starts a Menu Browser, in which you can define a filter or a condition for the List and Show methods.
- Edit Request
- Starts your default XML editor where you can edit the XML code of the request
argument. Through this option, you can create a more complicated XML structure
than through the Menu Browser.
This option is only available in developers mode.
- Show Result
- Starts two Menu Browsers that respectively show the response and result arguments
of the test.
You must have performed the test before you can use this option.
This option does not perform the test (again), but shows the results that were saved automatically after the execution of the test.
