Virtual DRDA Live Invocation Step

Use the Virtual DRDA Live Invocation step to make a real DRDA call to a real server in the context of a virtualized DRDA service. Recording and virtualizing DRDA traffic typically creates the step. The step performs the real request in regard to the current VSE request in play.

Complete the following fields as described:

Listen/Record on port

Target host

Target port

Enter the name of the port on which the request is made.

DB2 IP address

LISA IP address

Stored proc param delimiter

Format step response as XML

The VSE framework expects Respond steps to accept one of the following:

• A response object
• A list of response objects
• An XML document that represents either

Note: If this check box is cleared, the step produces a list of response objects. The step produces the list, even if it contains only one response.

Default: The step response is formatted as XML.

If Environment Error

Specifies the action to take or the step to go to if the test fails because of an environment error.

Default: Abort the test.

VSE Lookup Step

For a live invocation step to support failover execution mode, it must know the step that is used to look up VSE responses so that it can redirect the VS model to the correct step when necessary. This field contains a list of steps in the VS model. Select the standard VSE Response Lookup step. That allows the live invocation step to move to the VSE response lookup step when necessary.
