In this post, we will explore the simulation feature for IFlow testing and learn how to test an IFlow without having the source system connected by using SAP CPI’s simulation mode.
Overview of this blog series:
1. SAP CPI Introduction
2. SAP BTP tools and features overview (BTP, Global Account, Sub-Account, Entitlements, Connectivity, Security)
3. SAP CPI Web IDE overview
4. Registering a trial account and enrolling to SAP CPI service
5. Deep dive into Cloud Integration features with real world scenario example
6. Use cases of palette functions
7. Adapter configurations
8. Using Cloud connector for connecting to backend SAP systems
9. Overview on API Management & Open Connectors
10. Integration using Open Connectors with real world example
In short, below is the content we will elaborate in this tutorial:
1. Overview of Simulation mode
2. Need of Simulation mode in SAP CPI
3. Test an IFlow using Simulation mode
1. Overview of Simulation mode
The Recreation highlight empowers combination engineers and business specialists to handily test the joining stream, or portions of it, during advancement without the need to send and follow unequivocally. It helps in distinguishing possible mistakes in the coordination stream and guarantees that the stream is filling in true to form before you really run it. What’s more, the recreation highlight likewise permits you to troubleshoot the combination stream, set breakpoints, and screen the stream progressively, which helps in recognizing and settling issues rapidly.
Generally speaking, the Recreation highlight in SAP CPI is an amazing asset that aides in testing and troubleshooting reconciliation streams, guaranteeing that they capability true to form prior to being conveyed to creation.
2. Need of Simulation mode in SAP CPI
- Test Combination Streams: The reenactment include assists with testing reconciliation streams prior to sending them to creation. It permits engineers to actually look at the usefulness of the stream and distinguish any likely issues prior to running the stream progressively.
- Recognize Mistakes: The reproduction highlight empowers engineers to distinguish blunders and special cases in the combination stream. This aides in troubleshooting the stream and rolling out essential improvements to determine the issues prior to conveying it to creation.
- Guarantee Information Precision: The reenactment include empowers engineers to check the information exactness and culmination of the message handled through the combination stream. This guarantees that the right information is moved and changed all through the stream.
- Save Time and Expenses: The recreation highlight helps in saving time and expenses as it keeps mistakes from happening during the genuine stream execution. This keeps away from expensive rollbacks and recoveries the time expected to fix the blunders.
- Troubleshooting: The recreation highlight permits designers to troubleshoot the reconciliation stream and screen it progressively, making it simpler to rapidly recognize issues and resolve them.
3. Test an IFlow using Simulation mode
To test the IFlow using Simulation feature, below are the options/menu we need:
1. Simulation Start Point
2. Simulation End Point
3. Run Simulation
4. Clear Simulation
Recreation Start and End point can be found when you click the bolt (interfacing object of range where you need to begin/end the test).
Clear and Run simulation is found in the palette menu option, as shown below.
We will test the beneath IFlow totally from begin to end.
Note: While reproduction, the backend calls/connector calls will not occur. In this way, you need to give the reaction in the recreation body segment.
In the above IFlow, we will be beginning the reproduction before the main planning and finishing the reenactment in the last step, as displayed underneath.
Presently it is the right time to add the source payload. For that, click on the reenactment start point, which would show the beneath screen – Add Reproduction Information.
Here, you can see the different segments where we can add the payload or import a record. Likewise you will actually want to add headers/properties.
We will add the payload in the body segment.
Prior to continuing on toward test the reenactment, add the reaction of the XI recipient too. For adding the reaction, click on the “Add Reenactment Reaction” symbol.
Once finished, click on Run reproduction at the range menu.
Reproduction finished effectively.
Double tap on the envelope symbol displayed above to see the substance at each step. By along these lines, you will actually want to test the IFlow with next to no outsider instrument (like mailman/SoapUI) or from source framework. At last, clear the reenactment focuses in the IFlow, by tapping on the “Unmistakable Recreation” symbol.
That’s all there is to it. Thank you for reading the complete post. I hope you learned something valuable about the simulation feature for IFlow testing. Happy learning!!!
