IMS Connect Live Invocation Step

Complete the following fields:

Listen/Record on port

Not applicable for the Live Invocation step.

Target host

Specifies the name or IP address of the target host where the server runs.

Target port

Specifies the target port number listened to by the IMS server.

IMS Format file

To use the IMS Connect support that is included in DevTest by default, leave this field blank.

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.
