Understanding the Handler Tester Utility

The Handler Tester allows you to test handlers defined for rowset-based and nonrowset-based service operations from within the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture. You can test handlers without setting up a routing, without having pub/sub booted on your application server, and without impacting other developer activity on the system.

To use the Handler Tester utility you should have a solid knowledge of Integration Broker messaging, as well as a knowledge of programming integration events and interpreting event results.

WARNING:

When you use the Handler Tester any PeopleCode associated with the handler is executed and production data is affected accordingly.

Consider the following points when using the Handler Tester utility:

• The Handler Tester does not function with messages formatted with multiple level 0 records.

• The Handler Tester does not re-initiate global variables between tests.
