APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When running tests without specifying a TEST id in JCL previous
versions of Application Delivery Intelligence (ADI) would
generate a human readable placeholder test
 id. Recent ADI version would generate random id that would not
be easy to read inside the ADI UI.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • Because the ID was random it would be impossible to map it back
to the file under test.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • We restored the previous solution of generating an ID based on
the file name plus as timestamp.
Temporary fix
Comments  We strongly advise against using ADI this way as the
generated test ids only identify that one specific occurrence of
that one test at that one time. However, ADIs real value is to
record the trend of running the same test case over and over
again to compare changes over time. For that a test id needs to
be specified by the end user then all occurrences of a test case
as specific test will be mapped to the same test case, i.e. test
id and trending information can be derived from it.
