USE:
The object There are multiple usages of variables. For instance in inbound test cases they are used to substitute particular fields of original payload messages to avoid posting duplicates. They are also used to correlate interface messages with documents posted in the backend systems. In outbound test cases they are used to search the middleware platforms to find proper message that would be validated as a part of test.
Variables contain a set of rules to identify value in reference messages and the way how the new value are generated. One of the method of generation of new values are internal number ranges.
The variables section allows to define multiple variables on Businnes for each Object Definition level. Those variables will be processed during the test case execution. Detailed appliance is described in Variable processing.
Procedure:
...
- Go to /int4/iftt_conf
- Mark row with object definition and double click on the Variables section on the tree (left part of the screen)
- Press New entries and add Variable Name and Description. Save the entry.
- Mark the row with created variable and double click on the Variable processing. Here you will define what should happen with the variable during test case execution.
After defining the Variable processing the variable is ready for use.
Variable name is the technical name of the variable. Should be short and without spaces. Later on the technical name will be used to identify the variable in all other configuration steps.
Variable description is the long name or description of the variable that will be displayed on the reports.
