Testing Host Access Integration Objects
Important! Always test your Host Access Integration Object
on the machine(s) where you plan to run the Page Server! Differences
in network configuration can cause Host Access
to work on one machine and fail on another.
A good sequence to follow when testing is:
- Work through the processing a step at a time in
the Integrator. Show the terminal, press Connect, play the
connect macro, play the data loop macro, play the disconnect
macro. Manually work through the data loop sequence and
verify the confirmation text on each screen that should be
recognized. Play the screen macros while the screen macro
execution criteria are met and watch what happens.
- Use the Integrator previewer.
- Use a local Page Server and Web Server.
- Set up a similar network environment to the one
used in production, and run stress tests. The Page Tester tool
can repeatedly invoke a single page from multiple threads,
and you can run it several times to test different
pages simultaneously. There are also commercial test
tools that can simulate a real load on your network.
If you encounter any problems, see the
Trouble Shooting section.
