Verifying the solution

You can check that the solution works for your own files or for the provided scenario.

Before you begin

Ensure that your integration server is configured to use a default application, as described in Configuring a default application for an integration server.

About this task

After you have completed the mapping conversion, and adjusted any flagged transforms, you can check that the map works as intended by running the Test Client. If you are using your own project files, create your own message flow tests by following the instructions for Testing a message flow that has IBM MQ nodes.

In the scenario, a message flow test file is already created for you to use. The objects in this file are provided as independent resources, which means that your integration server must be configured to use a default application in order to deploy and run the message flow. For information about configuring a default application, see Configuring a default application for an integration server.

Procedure

To verify the scenario, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Application view, open MembersMFPFlow.mbtest.
    The Test Client opens. A previously run test named Invoke Message Flow(v7) is listed in the Message Flow Test Events pane.
    The image shows the Invoke Message Flow(v7) test in the Message Flow Test Events pane.
  2. Review the results of Invoke Message Flow(v7) in the Detailed Properties tab by clicking each stage of the test that is listed in Message Flow Test Events.
    These are the results from running the message flow before conversion.
  3. Right-click Invoke Message Flow(v7) and click Re-run.
    The Select Deployment Location wizard opens.
    1. On the Specify Test Settings page, select Create queues of input and output nodes of message flows when host name is localhost. Click Finish.

      The Select Deployment Location wizard on the Specify Test Settings page. The Create queues of input and output nodes of message flows when host name is localhost is selected.

    The test is rerun; observe the results in the Detailed Properties tab.
  4. In the Message Flow Test Events pane, select MQ Queue Monitor "MEMOUT". Look at the output message that is displayed in the Detailed Properties pane. Compare the output message to that of the original test.

    The original Version 7.0 test results as they appear in IBM Integration Bus.

    1. Optional: If you are following the steps for the optional NULL behavior check in step 7 of Configuring Task transforms, you can see that MEMBER_COMMENT3 is displayed, but the Value field is empty.

      The images shows that MEMBER_COMMENT3 is shown, but doew not have a value.

Results

You have successfully completed the scenario, by converting a message map, configuring the transforms, and verifying the output.
