Testing a Function

You can use the Cantara Adminstration Console as a debug tool to test that a function is working as expected.

The following details are returned when you test a function:

• Function Request: The payload that the Cantara Access Server RESTful service consumes. You can use the information produced here as a template for inclusion in your own service client.
• Function Response: The data that the JD Edwards server returns.
• JDE Communications: The data that is being transmitted from Cantara Access Server and the JD Edwards server.

You can choose to view the results in XML or JSON format.

1. Select the Functions node in the navigation panel.
2. Select the function you want to test.
3. Select the environment you want to test the function against.
4. Populate the default value field with the parameters you want to pass through to the function.
5. At the bottom of the screen, select the format (XML or JSON) for the results from the drop-down list.
6. Click the Execute Test button. The details of the test are displayed in your selected format.
