You can transform binary data in requests to view the data
in a more readable format.
Before you begin
Record a test that contains binary data.
About this task
To transform binary data in a specific request:
Procedure
- Open a test for editing.
- In the Test Contents area, select
the request that contains binary data to transform.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Test Element Details area,
and then click the Advanced tab.
- In the Data Transformation area,
click Change. The current data transformation
is displayed in the Applied Transform field
in the Data Transformation area. The Select Transformation Adapter window
opens.
- Select the data transformation to perform. To remove data
transformation from the request, select [none]. If the application under test uses serialized Java objects,
do not transform individual requests. Instead, configure the product
to automatically apply the Convert Java Serialized Object
to XML transformation to all binary data. The binary data in the request is transformed using the
specified transformation adapter.
