Testing a message flow

You can test your message flows using the Test Client.

Before you can test your message flow, you must have a broker domain configured and running. If you do not have an existing broker domain, you can create one using the Default Configuration wizard; see Using the Default Configuration wizard. If the broker domain is not already configured in the Message Brokers Toolkit, you can use the Deployment Location wizard to connect to the broker domain.
To test a message flow, complete the following tasks:
  1. Opening the Test Client editor
  2. Configuring the test settings
  3. Creating and editing a test message
  4. Selecting the deployment location for the message flow.

The test message is put to the selected input node, the Test Client monitors the output nodes in the message flow, and events are generated as the message passes through the message flow. You might need to stop the test manually, depending on the nodes in the message flow, and the settings that you have configured in the Test Client.

To test the message flow again, right-click Invoke Message Flow in the Message Flow Test Events pane and click Invoke to start a new test; or click Re-invoke to re-run the test using the same message.
