Testing a connector

Ensure that your connector is connected by using one of the authentication methods that you configured. For more information, see Connecting an application.

To test the actions in your connector, complete the following steps:

1. From the Connector Development Kit home page, locate the connector that you want to work with.
2. Ensure that the connector is marked as completed.
3. Click the connector tile.
4. Click the Test actions tab.
5. Select the action that you want to test, and enter any required information.

   For information on how to test download and upload actions, see Testing a download action and Testing an upload action.

6. Click Submit.

   The test results are displayed in the side panel with the response properties that you configured for the action's response.

7. Click the X button to close the Test results side panel.

To test the polled events in your connector, complete the following steps:

1. From the Connector Development Kit home page, locate the connector that you want to work with.

2. Ensure that the connector is marked as completed.

3. Click the connector tile.

4. Click the Test events tab.

5. Select the polled event that you want to test, and then click Try out event. The Connector Development Kit tool listens for new events for up to 3 polling cycles and the test results are displayed in the side panel.

   Note: The Connector Development Kit polls the application for changes to the events once every minute, and this interval cannot be modified. However, the time interval can be adjusted within an integration flow after adding the application to the App Connect UI.

   Tip: You have the option to view the results either in tree view or code view.

6. Click the X button to close the Test results side panel.

   Note: Closing the panel results in the clearing of all events received from polling.

A successful outcome in the side panel confirms the proper configuration of your action or event.
