  • 1.  testing APIC apis and sending dummy test data based on the schema

    Hello Team,

    I'm in the process of conducting a POC to explore how APIC can provide/return default data. I'm exploring a couple of methods:

    1. Utilizing message templates, although it appears that this feature is not available in version 10.x.
    2. Implementing XSLT policy.

    I am currently using XSLT and attempting to comprehend how to incorporate an IF condition, such as:

    ($httpVerb() = 'GET') and headers.X-ibm-client-name

         This condition should trigger the execution of the XSLT. I'm uncertain about how to retrieve the IBM client name.

    Additionally, I'm investigating if there's a way to retrieve a sample response already available on the developer portal.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Imtiyaz

    Hi, 

    The message template policy is available for v10 - it's a custom user defined policy that can be downloaded and imported to your deployment (or we pre-deploy it in the SaaS case). You can get the policy from the list at the bottom of this page - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6991789

    Thanks

    Ricky

    Did you explore this article https://www.ibm.com/products/api-connect/api-testing ?

    XSLT supports if and choose https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_if.asp

    But I doubt your team appreciates the effort you spend in writing a XSLT file for testing APIC.

    I have not but will explore that also. Thank you for providing this info.

    Right now I am exploring this message-template which provides the mock data.

    and I am trying to see when this mock data is returned. My current use case is using Switch and setting up the condition 

    ($httpVerb() = 'GET' and $header("X-IBM-Client-Id") = 12345678)

    but instead of using the X-IBM-Client-Id, I need to the use name(X-IBM-Client-name) so not sure if name can be available during execution ?

    Any suggestions.
