7. Go to rfhutil and check the contents of the message on the

RESPONSEQUEUE (see Figure 24-27).

24.3 Testing the interaction between the connector and

the application

Now that you have established that the connector can process the business

objects correctly, you need to test that the interaction between the connector and

the application for business object handling works as expected. You need to

verify that when using the actual connector and back-end application, that the

results you receive for request messages accurately reflect the application data.

You also need to check that requests for creation of objects in the back-end

application result in the creation of the correct application objects and the

generation of correct events.

Essentially, you will repeat the tests that are described in 24.2, “Testing the

interaction between the connector and business objects” on page 414. This time,

however, you will use the real connector so that you can interact with the real

back-end application.

24.3.1 Sending a request business object (RM_Tenant.Retrieve)

To send a request business object to the RM_Tenant.Retrive:

1. Stop the Test Connector.

2. Start the RedMaintenance engine.

3. Start the RMConnector.

4. Using the file from the RM_Tenant.Retrieve test, put a message on to the

REDMAINT.REQUESTQUEUE using rfhutil as before. Remember to add

the ReplyToQueue details to the Message Descriptor.

5. Check the RMConnector log for the details of the business object that is sent,

which should be similar to that shown in Example 24-8.

6. Check the application log to ensure that the application is reporting

successful processing (see Figure 24-28).

24.3.2 Checking the response message received

To check the response message, use rfhutil to read the message that was sent

to the REDMAINT.RESPONSEQUEUE. If you are using our test data, the

message should be similar to that shown in Figure 24-29.

24.3.3 Sending a request business object (RM_Maintenance.Create)

The send the request business object:

1. Using the file from the RM_Maintenance.Create test, put a message on to the

REDMAINT.REQUESTQUEUE using rfhutil. Remember to add the

ReplyToQueue details to the Message Description.

2. Check the log of the RMConnector to see the details of the business object

that is being sent.
