Using a User-Written Test Transaction

Users of the Client Manager can choose to use a different Test Transaction other than the ECHO applications provided by CA Gen. The Server Configuration associated with the target server allows the user to enter the name of their Test Tran (and for ECI to a Comm. Bridge, the name of their Test Tran. server).

The Client Manager uses the Test Transaction data that is specified for each individual target server when constructing a simulated cooperative flow. Because the Client Manager is acting as the DPC applications, the behavior of a user-written test server application must be the same as the ECHO applications that are provided by CA Gen. The simulated test cooperative flow built by the Client Manager consists of a Common Format Buffer (CFB) header, User Action area, and the Next location area. The Next Location area is populated with the name of the target server. The Client Manager does not send or expect to receive import or export view data.
