Specifying the maximum depth of expanded business objects

In the integration test client, nested business objects are automatically expanded to a depth of five levels in the value editor and zero levels in the data pool editor. However, you can change the maximum depth to which you want to automatically expand your nested business objects.

To specify the maximum depth of expanded business objects:
  1. If you want to specify the maximum depth of expanded business objects in the value editor, complete the following steps:
    1. From the Window menu, select Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
    2. In the Preferences window, expand Business Integration and select Integration Test Client. The Integration Test Client page opens.
    3. In the Maximum depth to automatically expand business objects field in the Value editor control group, type a number for the maximum depth to which you want to automatically expand your business objects in the value editor. Note that if you type -1 as the maximum depth, your business objects will be expanded to the depth of your deepest nested business object. However, this may adversely impact the usability of the value editor if your business objects are nested many levels deep.
    4. Click OK. When you next open the test client (or when you next click Invoke in an open test client), the nested business objects will be expanded to the depth that you have specified.
  2. If you want to specify the maximum depth of expanded business objects in the data pool editor, complete the following steps:
    1. Close WebSphere Integration Developer.
    2. In the file system, navigate to the following folder (where installDir is the install path of WebSphere Integration Developer): installDir\wstools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.wbit.comptest.common
    3. In a text editor, open the file plugin.properties.
    4. In the datapool.expand.level property, type a number for the maximum depth to which you want to automatically expand your business objects in the data pool editor; for example, datapool.expand.level = 8. The number must be greater than or equal to 0.
    5. Save your changes and close the text editor.
    6. Open WebSphere Integration Developer. When you next open the data pool editor, the nested business objects will be expanded to the depth that you have specified.
