Testing a transformation

Transformations are tested using a test file of sample data. The test data format must be the same source data format. Exports must be in SSML format, to be transformed to an external format. The external format of imports is transformed to SSML format.

Note: The input must be complete XML and at least one operation must be set, otherwise the test will fail.
  1. Open Transformation Designer.
  2. Select a transformation. You can test either TML or XSL transformations.
  3. Click Test. The Test dialog opens.
  4. Click to browse and select a file in the Upload a File field.
    Note: The file must be on the same server. It must be valid for the transformation you are testing.

    The test data is displayed as the input data. Optionally, you can make further amendments to the transformation. You may not amend the output data.

  5. Click Test. The test input and output is displayed in the corresponding dialogs.
    If the test transformation is successful, the transformed data is displayed as the output data. If the test fails, an error message is displayed. Make the relevant corrections and retest.
