Payload Processing

This capability is particularly useful in migration projects and the Test Driven Development approach, where the payload structures of new solution interfaces may differ but contain similar content.

Following processing methods are available:

XSLT Transformation
ASTER Script

Payload processing can be applied on both Input and Output payloads.

XSLT Transformation is stored in a reference test case of type XSLT Transformation. To call XSLT Transformation during Test Case execution, Test Case number that is of type XSLT Transformation needs to be provided as an input to one of the below parameters.

Example usage of XSLT transformations can be found here XSLT transformation examples | Different-order-of-XML-nodes-in-a-new-solution.

ASTER Script for Payload Processing can read current payload using GET_CONTEXT_PAYLOAD function and should return updated payload as a result of evaluation

Parameter name	Description
Processing Type	Input payload - Run processing on input payload before any other execution steps Input payload after variable replacement - Run processing on input payload after variables are replaced with new values Reference output payload - Run processing on output reference message (output stored in Test Case as reference) Current output payload - Run processing on current output message (output generated during Test Case execution)
Method	XSLT Transformation ASTER Script
Parameter	Test case number for XSLT Script name for ASTER
