Testing a Report

You can use the Cantara Administration Console as a debug tool to test that a report is submitting as expected.

The following details are returned when you test a function:

• Report 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.
• Report Response: The response that the Cantara Access Server returns.
• JDE Transaction: The data that is being transmitted from Cantara Access Server and the JDE server.

The result is displayed in JSON format.
