Value and data pool editors

In the integration test client, you can use a value editor to specify, view, edit, and pass values for operations, manual emulations, and event definitions. You can also save values to a data pool, where you can view and edit the values and later reuse them in the value editor.
In this topic, the following sections provide information to help you understand and use the value editor and data pool editor:

The value editor and operations

When you invoke an operation in the integration test client, the test pauses whenever it encounters an interactive event such as a manual Invoke event or a manual Emulate event. During the pause, you can use the value editor to specify input values for an operation or output values for a manual emulator. For those events that are not interactive, the value editor simply displays the values that were passed or returned for the events. The value editor is shown in the following figure:

As shown in the figure, there are typically five objects that are displayed in the Name column of the value editor:

1 Parameters
2 Fields
3 Arrays
4 Elements
5 Fields

The Name column presents a hierarchical view of the data. Fields of a complex element are nested below the complex element. Similarly, elements of arrays are nested below the arrays, and fields are nested below the elements. To add an element to an array, right click the array and select Add Elements.
The Type column shows the data type of each object.
The Value column accepts and displays the values specified for each object.
If you specify an invalid value in the Value column, the row is flagged with the validation error symbol
. Validation errors do not indicate that you have errors in your workspace and they do not prevent you from continuing your testing. You can hover your cursor over the validation error symbol to obtain information about the validation error. Similarly, if you select the row that contains the validation error, the status area at the bottom of the value editor provides additional information about the error.
If that at the top of the value editor, you can use the Go to Previous Error icon
and the Go to Next Error icon
to move to the previous error or the next error.
When the value editor first opens for an event, the following values are automatically assigned:

Read-only fields are flagged with the read-only symbol
.
All other fields are populated with default values.

If you are working with large business objects that have many fields and values, you can use the following features to work more effectively with the objects in the value editor:

A Maximize Editor icon
to maximize the size of the value editor.
Keyboard navigation to navigate the value editor using common keys such as Tab, Page Up/Down and the arrow keys.
Multiple field editing mechanisms.

Field editing mechanisms are discussed more fully in the topic "Specifying operation values."

The value editor and event definitions

In the test client, you can use the value editor to specify values for an event definition. The value editor is shown in the following figure:

As shown in the figure, there are typically six objects that are displayed in the Name column of the value editor:

1 Event definition
2 Property container
3 Properties
4 Extended data container
5 Extended data elements
6 Array elements

The Name column presents a hierarchical view of the data. If an extended data element is an array, the elements of the array are nested below the extended data element. To add an element to an array, right click the array and select Add element.
The Type column shows the data types of the properties and extended data elements. Properties are always a String data type. Extended data elements can be any non-array or array primitive data type.
The Value column accepts and displays the values specified for the properties and extended data elements.
If you specify an invalid value in the Value column, the row is flagged with the validation error symbol
. Validation errors do not indicate that you have errors in your workspace and they do not prevent you from continuing your testing. You can hover your cursor over the validation error symbol to obtain information about the validation error. Similarly, if you select the row that contains the validation error, the status area at the bottom of the value editor provides additional information about the error.
If that at the top of the value editor, you can use the Go to Previous Error icon
and the Go to Next Error icon
to move to the previous error or the next error.
When the value editor first opens for an Emit event, the following values are automatically assigned:

If any extended data element is an array and it does not yet have any array elements, it is automatically defined as read-only and it is flagged with the read-only symbol

If other properties and non-array extended data elements do not yet have values, they are automatically assigned the default values that are associated with their data types.

The data pool editor

In the value editor, you can save values to a data pool, view and edit the values using the data pool editor, and later reuse the values in the value editor. Since the value editor and the data pool editor are both used to manage the same kind of data, the two editors are similar in many respects.
You can use the data pool editor to modify or reorder values in a data pool that resides in the workspace. You can copy values or entire rows between data pools.

Unicode escape sequences

In both the value editor and the data pool editor, you can type values directly into the Value column for any attribute with a primitive data type, such as a string or integer. These values can be either Unicode or Unicode escape sequences.
By specifying Unicode escape sequences in the value editor or the data pool editor, you can pass extended ASCII characters or control characters as values.
For example, if you want to use a null character in a CICS program, you could type \u0000.
If you type Unicode escape sequences in the data pool editor or value editor, they are displayed as the Unicode characters that they represent. However, when you begin to edit them, they are displayed as Unicode escape sequences.
For example, if the Unicode escape sequence \u004a is specified as part of a Unicode value, the character J would be displayed, but when you begin to edit the value in the Value column, the Unicode escape sequence \uoo4 would be displayed rather than the character J.
You can specify Unicode escape sequences to represent character strings in whole or in part.
For example, you could type AB\u0043 to specify the string ABC. You can also use the backslash (\) escape character to prevent Unicode escape sequences from being interpreted.
For example, if you type \\u0043, it is interpreted as \u0043 rather than as the letter C.
In standard Unicode, escape sequences are specified using hex characters and only valid values are interpreted.
For example, the hex characters \u004a are interpreted because they are valid and represent the letter J. However, the hex characters \u004k are not interpreted because they are not valid and they do not represent a valid character.

Business graphs
In the integration test client, you can test operations that have business graphs as their parameters. This capability is especially valuable for testing the business graph implementations of the IBM WebSphere Adapters and the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters. However, before you can test business graphs in the integration test client, you must have a firm understanding of business objects and business graphs. Information on business objects and business graphs is found in the business object editor topic "Creating and mapping business objects" and its subtopics.
If the operation that you are testing has a business graph as its parameter, you can view, specify, and test values for both the verb property and the changeSummary property in the value editor of the test client.
In the value editor, you can select a Show Change Summary menu item to append a Change Summary column to both the value editor and data pool editor. The Change Summary column accepts values that represent the original state of the business objects in the business graph. The Value column, by comparison, accepts values that represent the current state of the business objects in the business graph. You can modify business object and attribute values in both the Change Summary column and the Value column.
If the Show Change Summary menu item is selected, the test client passes the business graph to the target adapter or component during the test and the business graph contains changeSummary information.
If the Show Change Summary menu item is selected and the Enable Logging menu item is also selected, the test client passes the business graph to the target adapter or component during the test and the business graph contains changeSummary information. However, the changeSummary information also includes a record of business object changes that have occurred since the operation was last invoked. You can use this logging capability to restore a business object to its original state.
If the Show Change Summary menu item is not selected, the test client still passes the business graph to the target adapter or component during the test. However, the business graph does not contain any changeSummary information at all.
In the Preferences window of IBM Integration Designer, you can set a preference to determine whether verb and changeSummary properties are displayed in the value editor. This is described in the test client topic "Selecting business graph properties to display." However, you can use the Show Change Summary menu item in the value editor to override any preference that you set in the Preferences window for the changeSummary property.

Pop-up menu items

In the value editor and data pool editor, you can choose from numerous pop-up menu items to help you manage the values that you pass to operations, manual emulations, and event definitions. Although many of the same context menu items are found in both of the editors, some of the pop-up menu items are specific to one editor or the other.
Additionally, the pop-up menu items that are available differ depending on whether you are specifying values for operations, manual emulations, or event definitions.
The pop-up menu items available for working with operations and manual emulations are described in the following table:

You can use this menu item in conjunction with the Select All menu item to set all required fields to their default values and set all unrequired fields to unset.
Use Previous Value Value In the Name column, right-click a parameter and select Use Previous Value. Opens the Use Previous Value window where you can select one or more previous values that were automatically saved when the test client was closed. Information on setting a preference to specify the maximum number of previous values to save is found in the topic "Specifying the maximum number of previous input values to save."
Add Value to Pool Value In the Name column, right-click a parameter, field, array, or element and select Add Value to Pool. Adds the selected parameter, field, array, or element to the data pool. Additional information about adding values to pools is found in the topic "Adding values to data pools."
Use Value from Pool Value In the Name column, select one or more objects and then right-click a selected row and select Use Value from Pool. Opens the data pool editor, where you can select a value to use for a field, array element, or business object. Values of one business object in the data pool may be used for a business object with a different data type if the attribute names match.
For example, if a business object in the data pool has attributes A, B, and C but the business object for which you are using the values has attributes B, A, and D, then attributes A and B will receive copied values but attribute D will not. If the data type of any fields copied from the data pool do not match, such as when you are using a boolean value in an integer field, an error icon is displayed in the cell. Additional information about using values from pools is found in the topic "Using values from data pools."
Import from XML File Value, data pool In the Name column, select one or more objects and then right-click a selected row and select Import from XML. Opens a file selection window where you can import the value of a field, array element, or business object from an XML file. Values of one business object may be copied to a business object with a different data type if the attribute names match.
If a copied value is not correct for the data type of the field to which it is being imported, such as when you are importing a boolean value to an integer field, an error icon is displayed in the cell. For additional information and an example of an XML file, see the section below entitled "Importing values from XML files."
Export to XML File Value, data pool In the Name column, select one or more XSD elements or attributes and then right-click a selected row and select Export to XML File. Opens a New XML File window where you can save the selected XSD element or attribute to your workspace as either an XML or XSD file. If the value element is representing an XSD schema, then you should export the XSD element as an XSD (.xsd) file. If that the XSD element or attribute that you chose to export will be exported as well as any nested objects, but the siblings of the object will not be exported.
Use Derived Type Value, data pool In the Name column, right-click a field, element, or attribute and select Use Derived Type. Opens a Data Type Selection window where you can select a concrete type for an xsd:anyType field. You can also select a different type that is derived from the original type that was specified in the editor.
Select Element Value, data pool In the Name column, right-click an element and choose Select Element. Opens a Select Element window where you can select a global XSD element (defined at the top level of the XSD schema) for an xsd:any element or select an XSD substitution group element for the selected element in the editor.
Select Attribute Value, data pool In the Name column, right-click an attribute and choose Select Attribute. Opens a Select Attribute window where you can elect a global XSD attribute (defined at the top level of the XSD schema) for an xsd:anyAttribute attribute.
Paste Value Value, data pool In the Name column, select one or more objects and then right-click a selected row and select Paste Value. Pastes the copied value of a field, array element, or business object from the clipboard. Values of one business object may be copied to a business object with a different data type if the attribute names match.
For example, if a copied business object has attributes A, B, and C but the business object to which you are pasting has attributes B, A, and D, then attributes A and B will receive copied values but attribute D will not. If the data type of any copied fields do not match, such as when you are copying a boolean value to an integer field, an error icon is displayed in the cell.
Remove Data pool In the Name column, select one or more top-level parameters, fields, arrays, or elements, then right-click a selected row and select Remove. Removes the value of the parameters, fields, arrays, or elements that are selected at the top level in the data pool editor.

Opens the data pool editor, where you can select a value to use for an object, such as an event definition, property, or extended data element. Values of one object in the data pool may be used for an object with a different data type if the names match.
For example, if an extended data element array has the elements A, B, and C but the extended data element array to which you are pasting has the elements B, A, and D, then elements A and B will receive copied values but element D will not. If the data type of any copied fields do not match, such as when you are copying a boolean value to an integer field, an error icon is displayed in the cell. Additional information about using objects from data pools is found in the topic "Using values from data pools."
Paste Value Value, data pool In the Name column, select one or more objects and then right-click a selected row and select Paste Value. Pastes the copied value of an object (such as an event definition, property, or extended data element) from the clipboard. Values of one object may be copied to an object with a different data type if the names match.
For example, if an extended data element array has the elements A, B, and C but the extended data element array to which you are pasting has the elements B, A, and D, then elements A and B will receive copied values but element D will not. If the data type of any copied fields do not match, such as when you are copying a boolean value to an integer field, an error icon is displayed in the cell.

Select All Value, data pool In the Name column, right-click any object and select Select All. Selects all objects in the value editor or the data pool editor.

Date and time values

In the value editor and the data pool editor, date and time values are specified using one or more variations of the format yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss Z, where:

yyyy is a four-digit year
MM is a two-digit month
dd is a two-digit day of the month
T is a literal indicating the beginning of a time element
HH is a two-digit hour
mm is a two-digit minute
ss is a two-digit second
Z is an optional time zone designation

For example, 2007-01-18T04:00:00 EST.
The exact format of a date and time value is dependent on the associated XML schema type. The following table lists the XML schema types and their corresponding date and time formats.

XML Schema Type Format Example
xs:dateTime yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss Z 2007-01-18T04:00:00 EST
xs:date yyyy-MM-dd Z 2007-01-18 EST
xs:time HH:mm:ss 04:00:00
xs:gYearMonth yyyy-MM Z 2007-01 EST
xs:gMonthDay MM-dd 01-18
xs:gMonth MM 01
xs:gDay dd 18

Specifying a time zone is optional for those XML schema types that can accept a time zone designation. If you do not specify a time zone, the time zone will default to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) unless you have specified local time as the default time zone. If you do specify a time zone, you can specify it by using one of several standard time zone offsets, as shown in the bold text in the following list:

2007-01-01T07:00:00 GMT-05:00
2007-01-01T17:00:00 +05:00
2007-01-01T23:00:00 +1200
2007-01-01T04:00:00 EST
2007-01-01T06:00:00 Central Standard Time
2007-01-01T07:00:00 America/New_York

If that for Java interfaces that use java.util.Date, both the time and the time zone are optional.

Maximum depth of expanded business objects

In the Preferences window of IBM Integration Designer, you can set preferences to change the maximum depth to which you want to automatically expand your nested business objects in the value editor and data pool editor. This is described in the topic "Specifying the maximum depth of expanded business objects." However, if you have business objects that are nested many levels deep and you choose to automatically expand the nested business objects to a great depth, it can adversely impact the usability of the editor. They may take a long time to display all of the nested business objects and it may take you even longer to specify values for all of them. Conversely, if you find that you are continually expanding nested business objects manually, you may choose to specify a greater maximum depth. By default, nested business objects are automatically expanded to a maximum depth of five levels for the value editor and zero levels for the data pool editor.

Importing values from XML
When you are specifying values for an operation or manual emulation in the value editor, you can select the Import from XML menu item. In the file selection window that opens, you can select an XML file from the file system. You can import the value of a field, array element, or business object from an XML file or from the XML content in a SOAP message file. The XML does not necessarily need to be valid, but it must be well-formed if you want to successfully import values from it.
Values of one business object in the XML can be imported into a business object with a different data type in the value editor if the attribute names match. (The one exception to this rule is that if the top-level root element name in the XML differs from the top-level parameter name in the value editor, the top-level root name in the XML will be ignored. And if the XML resides in a SOAP message file, the SOAP envelope and body elements are also ignored.)
The following list contains other considerations for importing values from XML:

If a value that you want to import from the XML is not the correct data type for a corresponding field in the value editor, such as when you are importing a boolean value from the XML into an integer field in the value editor, an error icon is displayed.
If no matching attribute name is found in the XML for an attribute in the value editor, the attribute field in the value editor is automatically set to unset.

To better illustrate how importing values from XML works, assume that the value editor is populated with the following elements:

Name Type Value
order PurchaseOrder
id string
items Item[]
And assume that you have the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bo:po xmlns:bo="http://OrderEntry/bos"
       xmlns:bo1="http://OrderEntry"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://OrderEntry/bos PurchaseOrder.xsd http:
              //OrderEntry xsd-includes/http.OrderEntry.xsd ">
       <id>id1</id>
       <items>
              <id>item1 id</id>
              <quan>5</quan>
       </items>
       <items>
              <id>item2 id</id>
              <desc>def</desc>
              <quan>6</quan>
       </items>
</bo:po>
If you import the XML into the value editor, the value editor will be populated with the following elements:

Name Type Value
order PurchaseOrder
id string id1
items Item[]
items[0] Item
id string item1 id
desc string unset
quan int 5
items[1] Item
id string item2 id
desc string def
quan int 6
