Storing the message payloads is a prerequisite to create test cases, re-run them and then validate the execution. Our solution requires the message payloads to be sent to Int4 Suite WebService, together with the additional interface details.
In most cases, our customers incorporate the call of Int4 Suite WebService in current dedicated flows for logging and monitoring.
Another important aspect is that you should be able to choose when the payloads are saved in Int4 Suite. For that purpose, depending on the middleware, a proper trace indicator should be available to set the persistence on and off.
In Int4 Suite, the message payloads are stored in a database table with additional interface details.
The integration platform provides the following interface details to Int4 Suite to create and run test cases.
Interface details:
-
Process/Interface Name
-
Interface namespace (optional)
-
Landscape (e.g., DEV, TST, PRD, etc.)
-
Message ID - unique for every processed message
-
Execution ID - unique for every process execution and common for all the related messages of each execution
-
Correlation ID - common for every message of a single test case execution (optional)
-
Step - INPUT or OUTPUT
-
System ID (e.g., Boomi, Mulesoft, Webmethods, etc.)
-
Message Payload
