Note: Use caution when making changes to the term definition after the term has been associated with one or more policies. Changes to term attributes such as data type, number of rows, implementation category, and implementation details; or changing a non-configurable term to a configurable term and vice versa, could have significant impact on the policies that reference this term. These changes could possibly result in invalidating these policies. Before making any of these changes, view the policies using a term by clicking the link View Policies Using This Term.
Test Term Implementation Page
Use the Test Term Implementation page (EOCF_TEST_TERM) to test a term's implementations.

Note: Context-variable implementations of a term cannot be tested. Also, terms that have application class implementations accessing data from a component buffer or directly from the context cannot be tested in the Term Tester page. Testing these terms will result in an error message.
