Tip Of The Week : PeopleTools Service Operation Tester
Service Operations and similar IB related objects used for integration need to be tested carefully before deployment as they are real time interfaces for data communication. Creating service operations and their stable deployment is one such big task that is achieved via several rounds of testing for configuration and message triggering.
The Service Operation Tester utility enables you test service operations and invoke the following service operation types using the utility:
• Asynchronous One-Way.
• Asynchronous Request/Response.
• Asynchronous-to-Synchronous.
• Synchronous.
You can use the utility to populate messages contained within a service operation.
We can simulate an inbound message and test the subscription of that message using the Service Operation Tester. So instead of integrating two environments to test a message and its setup, you can use the Service Operation Tester to test the integration.
