Customizing the IBM Integration API Exerciser

Enable or disable a selection of options to customize the IBM® Integration API Exerciser to meet your requirements.

1. Start the IBM Integration API Exerciser.
   • On Windows, run the following command:

     install_dir\server\sample\IntegrationAPI\StartIntegrationAPIExerciser

   • On other operating systems, run the following shell script:

     install_dir/server/sample/IntegrationAPI/StartIntegrationAPIExerciser

   The IBM Integration API Exerciser window opens.
2. Customize the IBM Integration API Exerciser by selecting one or more of the following options from the File and View menus.
   1. Optional: Click File > Use Incremental Deployment to enable or disable this option.
      • If you enable this option, all deploy operations cause a delta (incremental) deploy where relevant.
      • If you disable this option, all deploy operations cause a complete deploy.
   2. Optional: Click File > Set Timeout Characteristics.
      Specify the time, in seconds, that the IBM Integration API Exerciser waits for responses from the integration node. The default wait interval is 6 seconds.
   3. Optional: Click View > Render Console in HTML to enable or disable this option.
      • If you enable this option, the console window is rendered in HTML.
      • If you disable this option, the console window is rendered in plain text.
   4. Optional: Click View and then click Advanced, Basic, or Everything.
      • If you select Advanced, output from all available methods is displayed in the IBM Integration API Exerciser.
      • If you select Basic, output from a subset of the available methods is displayed in the IBM Integration API Exerciser.
      • If you select Everything, output from all available methods is displayed in the IBM Integration API Exerciser and additional information about AdministeredObjects is included, if it is available. For example, for MessageFlowProxy objects, the MessageFlowProxy.Node child objects are displayed.
   5. Optional: Click View > BAR Files in Tree.
      • If you enable this option, the deployed resources that are shown in the tree are grouped by the BAR file name under which they were last deployed.
      • If you disable this option, the BAR file names are not displayed.
