Test Real-Time Data Service

You can use the Test Real Time Data Service dialog box to run a real-time data service. The input field is populated with the fields that are found in the external data provider node. The output is generated after the job runs and is populated with the job results.

The following buttons are available while testing data services:

Data Inputs and Outputs Tab

New Row - Enables you to add a new data row. The values are empty strings that will be passed to the service for processing.

Delete Row - Enables you to delete the rows containing the selected cells.

Delete All - Enables you to delete all rows.

Import From File - Imports data from a .csv file. If necessary, additional rows are added to match the number of imported rows. However, since columns are read-only on this tab, columns cannot be created during the import; any extra columns in the file will be ignored.

Variable Inputs and Outputs Tab

Insert New Variable - Opens the New Variable window, where you can specify a variable name. While you can specify any variable name, only meaningful variables will be used during the run.

Edit Value - Enables you to edit the value of one or more selected variables.

Rename Variable - Enables you to rename the current variable.

Delete drop-down menu:

The following buttons apply to both tabs:

Click Test to run the job. Outputs from the job display in the Data outputs and Variable outputs fields when the job is done running. If the job does not finish processing in the timeout period, you will receive an error message. You can change the timeout value by clicking Options Options button. Then, click the Data Management Server tab and update the value of the Real-time service test timeout option.

Click Close to exit the dialog box.

Click Stop while the test is processing. The previous run continues on the server, but the results will no longer be displayed.
