IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3When the Workbench generates artifacts from a model, it creates a sample transaction request XML file for each entity, transient data object, and entity extension defined within the model.
The Workbench places the sample XML request format files in a subfolder named <projectName>/resources/sampleRequest.
You can use the XML request files to test transactions defined within the model using the InfoSphere® MDM XML-over-RMI interface. The format of the sample request varies according to the object type.
| Object type | Sample request format |
|---|---|
| Entity | The sample request contains an Add Record transaction
for the entity. To successfully run the transaction, you must fill in the required fields with sample data. |
| Transient data object | The sample request contains a transaction that
uses the transient data object as the TCRMTxObject. It will not set
a value for the TCRMTxType. To successfully run the transaction,
you must:
|
| Entity extension | The sample request contains the XML for the
extension data object inside a TCRMExtension container. To successfully
run the transaction, you must:
|
You can run the generated sample transaction requests using the Transaction Launcher utility.
The Transaction Launcher utility is a tool that runs transaction request XML to help simplify the testing of additions and extensions. You can use the Transaction Launcher utility to run any XML transaction on the server. It is not restricted to deployment of the Workbench-generated sample transactions.
