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 Read more about Virtualization Objects Service 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 Read more about Automation Object Automation Objects
Response	Response Automation Object selected in Virtualization Object Read more about Automation Object Automation Objects
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:

Inject - collection of messages will start
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.
Synchronous - HTTP endpoint is exposed. This endpoint can be called to get synchronously the response configured in Virtualization Object. Endpoint is scenario specific and can be found on details screen, for example:
This endpoint is exposed on a system where Int4 Messenger is installed, so it may require Cloud Connector setup to be reachable from Cloud Integration.

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

Messages view

Messages, Converted and Response sent links, point to the Message lists.

Inject Message view

Element	Description
Content Search	Allows Content based search on the collected messages
Purchase Order Number	Dynamic fields define as a Variables in the Automation Object. For example Purchase Order Number
Inject	Inject selected messages to the environment on which virtualization is working
Export to API Tester	Export message as a test case to Int4 APITester
Message	Message ID, allows navigation to message payload. Payload can be edited.
Status	Status of the message, it’s either NEW or SENT. Resending already sent messages is allowed.

Asynchronous Message view

Trigger Message	Message ID of the triggering message, allows navigation to message payload.
Response	Test case ID that contains response message. Allows navigation to the message payload. Payload can be edited
Status	Status of the message, it’s either NEW, CONV or SENT. Resending already sent messages is allowed.

Synchronous Message view

Element	Description
