Using the ITE Console and ICS Console
views
As described in Integrated
Test Environment interface, the ITE Console tab displays information
about the execution of Integrated Test Environment and the ICS Console
displays information about the execution of InterChange Server Express.
You can use the ITE Console view to determine when Integrated Test Environment
tasks have completed and if they were successful. For instance, messages
are written when Integrated Test Environment connects successfully to InterChange
Server, or when Integrated Test Environment launches Map Designer Express to debug
a map.
If you started InterChange Server Express from within Integrated Test Environment,
the ICS Console view displays the logging and tracing output of the server,
just as the MS-DOS console does. You can then use the view to troubleshoot
the interfaces you are testing. It has the benefit that it is contained
within the Integrated Test Environment perspective and can be conveniently
searched.
The following sections describe some tasks you will frequently want
to perform when using the ITE Console and ICS Console views.
Finding text
You might want to search the ITE Console or ICS Console views for particular
phrases. For instance, you might want to confirm that the InterChange Server Express
started successfully. You could search the ICS Console view for the text
"is ready" to do so.
Do the following to search the ITE Console or ICS Console views for
text strings:
-
Right-click in the ITE Console or ICS Console view and select
Find/Replace
from the context menu.
-
Type the text string for which you want to search in the Find field.
-
Enable the Forward radio button to search the text after the cursor
or enable the Backward radio button to search the text before the
cursor.
-
Enable other options such as the Case Sensitive checkbox.
-
Click Find Next.
Copying text
You might want to copy text from the console views to show the text to
other developers or Technical Support to get help with troubleshooting.
To copy text from a console view, select the desired text, then right-click
it and choose Copy from the context menu.
Maximizing the view window
As with all workbench editors and viewers, you can maximize the ITE Console
or ICS Console views by double-clicking their title bar. Although this
is not useful with most viewers, it can be very helpful when troubleshooting
an interface by examining information in the ICS Console view.
Clearing the view window
You might want to clear the ITE Console or ICS Console views to eliminate
the information displayed in them. This can be helpful when you want to
view only information that is relevant to debugging a problem in the interface.
You can clear the console view, reproduce the problem, and troubleshoot
it without having to search through information that is not related to
the problem.
