Testing a Query

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

The following details are returned when you test a function:

• Query 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.
• Query Response: The data that the JD Edwards server returns. A maximum of ten records will be returned in the test.
• JDE Communications: The data that is being transmitted from Cantara Access Server and the JD Edwards server. This field will only be populated if you are using the XML List Kernel to access your JDE data.

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