Testing a Function

You can use the Cantara Administration 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 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 JDE server returns.
• JDE Transaction: The data that is being transmitted between the Cantara Server and the JDE server.
