Service Virtualization Scenarios

Service Virtualization Scenarios bind the Service Virtualization Objects to a specific landscape and enable the virtualization runtime for the pair. At the level of Service Virtualization Scenario, one can define whether it’s enabled or not, and further, whether the responses should be automatic or require user intervention.

Starting Service Virtualization Scenarios

Start by logging into Your SAP Fiori cockpit. Depending on Your user authorization, You will see a screen with sets of Fiori tiles. Find the one related to Service Virtualization Scenarios and click it.

Service Virtualization Objects elements

Once started Manage Virtualization Scenarios cockpit present list of Virtualization Scenarios created.

 

Parameter

Description

Virtualization Object

Virtualization Object ID and Description for the Virtualization Object used in the Virtualization Scenario

Allows navigation to Virtualization Objects

Type

Type of Virtualization selected in Virtualization Object

Landscape

Landscape where virtualization in on. For Example DEV, TEST, SANDBOX

Trigger

Triggering Automation Object selected in Virtualization Object

Response

Response Automation Object selected in Virtualization Object

Enable

Switch on and off Virtualization

Automatic Response

Flag that indicates if the response message should be sent automatically or wait for user intervention.

Messages

Number of messages:

a) Inject Type - number of collected historic messages

b) Asynchronous - number of trigger messages found

Allows navigation to the list of messages

Converted

Number of response messages created:

a) History Based - number of collected historic messages

b) Configuration Based - number of responses converted via mapping

Allows navigation to the list of messages

Response sent

Number of virtualized messages triggered for Virtualization Scenario

Allows navigation to the list of messages

Progress

Graphical representation of the totals in columns Messages, Converted, Reponse sent

Service Virtualization Objects create

Service Virtualization scenario can be added by clicking Add button. Delete button is used to delete Virtualization Scenario.

Virtualization Object and Landscape where Virtualization Scenario should be executed needs to be provided.

Virtualization Scenario is created.

Service Virtualization Objects run

Enable switch will switch on Virtualization Scenario:

  1. Inject - collection of messages will start

  2. Asynchronous

    1. History Based - collection of messages will start. Listening for the triggering messages will start. Matching triggering messages with collected responses will start.

    2. Configuration Based - Listening for the triggering messages will start. Converting triggering messages to reponses via mapping will start.

Automatic Response switch will trigger automatic responding for Asynchronous Virtualization Scenarios. If switched off, sending response will require manual user intervention.
