Creating a message flow test file

To create a .mbtest file to test your message flow by using the Test Client complete the following steps:

  1. In the Broker Development view, expand the AsyncWebServiceFlows message flow.
  2. Double-click WebServiceAsyncClientFlow.msgflow to open the message flow.
  3. Right-click the MQWSInput node, click Test. The Test Client opens.
  4. Because the MQWSInput node is configured to receive the OrderMessage, a message is provided in the Test Client with some default values. You can change the defaults in the Value column to be more meaningful. An example of other values is given in the following table:

  5. Click the Configuration tab.
  6. Select I will deploy the specified Broker Archive manually in the Deployment Options section. You select this option because the broker archive must include the server flow, which has to be added separately.
  7. Specify the broker archive file by browsing for it in your project.
  8. Click the Events tab and save the message flow test file.
