Scenario for Data Driven Virtual Service

[Ritu Arora]

Hi- I am in need of creating  the virtual service for following scenario-

1. REST API for POST request
2. Request structure varies but there is one field- ""accountableDocumentNum" which comes always and response needs to be selected based on this field.
3. i want to ignore other fields and request structure and look only for -"accountableDocumentNum".
4.  if that matches, send the response. If this doesn't match, make a live invocation.
5. Since there are multiple requests, I want to drive this from excel sheet.
6. When I create service, it adds all the arguments in image. Now I create data data sheet only for two arguments- ""accountableDocumentNum"" and "Response". If I do that, I ended up in mismatch.
7. Not sure what is correct way to achieve this. I don;'t want to create 1000 of RR pairs for each structure of req and then create the service. and every time if any change in req, I don't want to re create the service.

Please help how to achieve.

Regards,
Ritu

Hi Ritu,

 

For requirement 1 to 3:

 

• Add a Request Data Manager DPH to your listen step, add one "Keep" action for the "accountableDocumentNum" argument. This will remove any other argument from your incoming request object except for the argument(s) you specify in a Keep action(s)
• Edit your VSI to match this signature of an operation with one accountableDocumentNum argument

 

Cheers,

Danny
