Deployment Location wizard
Use the Deployment Location wizard
to set the integration server to which the test message flow is deployed.
You can also use the wizard to create an integration node, a connection
to a remote integration node, and a new integration server.
The
Deployment Location wizard
is displayed when you click
Send Message on
the
Events tab of the
Test Client the first time that you
run a test.
You can run the
Test Client in
one of the following modes:
- Run mode: test events are produced when the test message has been
sent successfully from the message flow, or when an error occurs.
Although you can also use the debugger, and the Test Client execution halts at the
breakpoints, the Test Client does
not receive and record message node-level trace information. When
you use the Test Client in this
mode, you are given the option to disconnect the flow debugger if
it is already running. To use the Test Client in Run mode, ensure that Trace
and Debug is not selected on the Deployment location wizard.
- Trace and debug mode: test trace events are produced when the
test message leaves each node so that you can see the path that the
message takes through the message flow. The results are stored in
the integration node. If you save the message flow test file, you
can view the results at a later time. The flow debugger is launched
in this mode, if it is not already connected. The test message stops
at any breakpoints that you have configured in the message flow. You
must configure a Java™ Debug
port to run the test in the trace and debug mode.
If you use the Test Client in trace and debug mode,
you can select the option Stop at the beginning of the
flow during debug. This option suspends the test at the
beginning of the message flow by setting a breakpoint on every connection
after the selected input node. When you use the Test Client in the trace and debug
mode, you can use the flow debugger in the Debug perspective.
You can also use the Deployment Location wizard
to specify settings for the test. For more information about the test
settings, see Test Client preferences.
After you
run a test for the first time, you can access the settings for the
deployment location by clicking Change in the Deployment section
of the Configuration tab.
