int4 IFTT Message Selector is a tool built-in within int4 IFTT created to facilitate test case creation for PI/PO unit test, PI/PO inbound, synchronous and PI/PO outbound scenarios. It supports also SAP Cloud Platform Integration.
The tool is used to create multiple test cases based on existing middleware messages. There is no need to search for PI/PO messages directly on the middleware system - IFTT Message Selector will do it for you.
Below you will find how to use the tool in few short steps:
While creating a new test case provide a description and an Interface Type. Click on Document Number and press F4 for search help. Optionally choose IFTT object to tell for which interface you would like to create test cases.
You will be processed to int4 IFTT PI/PO Message Selector. You need to provide:
- Automation Object Definition (if not provided in step 1).
- Optionally change the environment, if you would like to fetch messages from other than specified in scenario folder.
- Date range within which you want int4 IFTT to search for message payloads in PI persistence
- SAP PI/PO related interface attributes, like Sender name or Receiver name, etc. This are additional filtering criteria which are not part of IFTT configuration object but are useful in filtering messages.
- <Custom Parameter(s)> - Apply values to search middleware documents by business content (like invoice number). The search fields are derived from IFTT configuration object variables.
After making sure all the data is correct proceed by pressing F8.
A list of available messages fetched from PI persistence will be presented.
You can look-up content (by clicking Content icon) of each message before deciding which message you want to use for the test case creation purpose.
In order to create test case based on found message double click on the selected message key. You can select multiple messages and press on Transfer selected button.
Save newly proposed test cases in IFTT cockpit.
