Working with COBOL Copybooks
Use COBOL Copybooks in IBM Rational Integration Tester to
test COBOL data files or the applications that produce and consume
them. COBOL Copybooks can be added to IBM Rational Integration Tester and
applied to messages. You can use COBOL Copybooks to construct messages
in a format that is meaningful to the system under test.
Working with SWIFT messages
At any given time, Rational Integration Tester uses a single version of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(SWIFT) message format standard.
Creating a DFDL schema
You can use the DFDL schema utility that is provided with Rational Integration Tester to
create a DFDL schema file and apply it to the messages. This utility
helps you to quickly create a schema with valid format and specify
the elements and the values using the DFDL editor.
Working with ISO 8583 schemas Rational Integration Tester supports
the ISO 8583 standard for messages that originate in financial transaction cards.
Creating a REST schema
You can create a URL schema to use with REST services by adding URLs to the Schema
Library.
Applying a schema to a file
After you manually add a schema or include it in a synchronized resource, you can apply
it to any message that supports the schema type. For example, you would use the HTTP transport to
send a request to a service hosted on a web server.
Record layouts
You can use record layouts in Rational Integration Tester
to define a file schema to process and validate messages that use
a customized schema or format.
