Manually Entering XML Data

This section describes how to:

  • Manually enter XML data into rowset-based message definitions.

  • Manually enter XML data into nonrowset-based message definitions.

Manually Entering XML Data into Rowset-Based Message Definitions

When you manually enter XML data into a rowset-based message, the tree view is not available. To work with message data in the tree view, you must populate the data using operation transaction data from the application database or manually populate field values.

To manually populate a rowset-based message definition:

  1. Access the Handler Tester page (PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Service Utilities, and then Test Service Operation Handler).

  2. Click the Provide XML button.

    The Enter XML page displays.

  3. In the XML text box enter XML to populate the message definition.

  4. Click the OK button.

    The Handler Tester page appears and the XML you entered displays in the Input Message box.

Manually Entering XML Data into Nonrowset-Based Message Definitions

To manually populate a nonrowset-based message definition, on the Handler Tester page, enter XML directly into the Input Message box.

Note that you can also click the Provided XML button and enter XML in the XML text box for a nonrowset-based message definition.
