Selecting business graph properties to display in the integration test client
In IBM Integration Designer, if you want to test a component that uses a business graph, you can select specific properties to manage as attributes in the value editor of the integration test client. You can then pass or return values for the business graph attributes, which is especially useful if you are working with an enterprise information system (EIS), such as CICS .
In IBM Integration Designer, a business graph is a wrapper that is added around a simple business object or a hierarchy of business objects to provide additional capabilities, such as carrying change summary information related to the business objects in the business graph.
To select business graph properties:
Procedure
- Click Window > Preferences to open the Preferences window.
- In the left frame of the Preferences window, expand Business Integration and Test and then select Integration Test Client. The Integration Test Client page opens.
- In the Value editor area, select the check box beside one or more of the following business graph properties:
- Select Show change summary to add a Change Summary column in both the value editor and the data pool editor when you next open the test client. The column displays business graph changeSummary attributes. You can specify and test values for the changeSummary business graph property.
- Select Show verb to display business graph verb attributes in both the value editor and the data pool editor when you next open the test client. You can specify and test values for the verb business graph property.
- Click OK to close the window and save your changes.
Example
The next time that you test a component that uses a business graph, the business graph properties that you selected in the Preferences page will be displayed as attributes in both the value editor and the data pool editor. The attributes are displayed as children of the business graph and appear on the same level as the top-level business object.
For example, the following figure shows the verb attribute:
