Live invocation for Rest virtual service

[CSS]

Hi Team,

 

I am trying to implement switching endpoints in DevTest Workstation 10.7 for a REST service. I want to match request attribute values and decide whether to return virtual response to client or send the request to Live endpoint. Also I want to setup multiple responses based on different request attribute values within the VSE. Can someone share me detailed steps to do this. I tried to edit the VSM, but not able to find the right options to do this.

In DevTest / VSE , you need to use multiple request matchers and routing actions. Configure request data argument matchers (JSON/XML/header/body fields), then send the matching requests either to a specific virtual response or to a live invocation step. scripting is required. 

If your use case is mainly conditional routing + partial mock/proxy behavior, Beeceptor is much simpler. We use as an alternative and faster modeling such things. You can match any request parameter (headers/body/query) and decide per-request whether to mock, proxy to upstream to generate response.
