Has anyone tried using the scripting for the API Exerciser? I have successfully used the exerciser initially just to make sure all is working, and then used it to record a script. When I then use the exerciser to playback the script it always skips past the first command other than the connect. So, for example, if I execut and record:
- connect to config mgr
- stop a message flow
- remove a message flow
- disconnect

the message flow is successfully stopped, and removed.

I then put the message flow back in and runthe playback, and, it skips the stop a flow command, then does the connect, does the remove and disconnect. I've put in pauses before every step with no success. I've done commands other than stop a flow as the first step after the connect and still no success.

Attached is the script and the log of the playback, and, you can see from the log that it doesn't do the invokation of the testStopMsgFlows because it's exeucting that before the connect, even though the connect is first in the playback.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<script
progid="Samples/ConfigManagerProxy/cmp/exerciser/CMPAPIExerciser.java, Config.Proxy, S000, S000-L50831.3 1.51"
progname="Configuration Manager Proxy API Exerciser" progver="1.0">
<method name="pauseRecording" owner="this">
<parameter type="int" value="10"/>
</method>
<method name="testConnect" owner="classTesterCMP">
<parameter type="java.lang.String" value="localhost"/>
<parameter type="int" value="1415"/>
<parameter type="java.lang.String" value="EUROPE"/>
<parameter type="java.lang.String" value=""/>
<parameter type="java.lang.String" value=""/>
</method>
<method name="pauseRecording" owner="this">
<parameter type="int" value="10"/>
</method>
<method name="testStopMsgFlows" owner="classTesterMisc">
<parameter type="com.ibm.broker.config.proxy.AdministeredObject" value="ConfigMgr6/PubSubTopology/EUROPE/default/D"/>
<parameter type="boolean" value="y"/>
</method>
<method name="pauseRecording" owner="this">
<parameter type="int" value="10"/>
</method>
<method name="testDeleteMsgFlow" owner="classTesterFlow">
<parameter type="com.ibm.broker.config.proxy.MessageFlowProxy" value="ConfigMgr6/PubSubTopology/EUROPE/default/D"/>
</method>
<method name="pauseRecording" owner="this">
<parameter type="int" value="10"/>
</method>
<method name="testDisconnect" owner="classTesterCMP"/>
</script>

Looking for any ideas/thoughts

I've just reproduced this. It looks like the Exerciser isn't waiting long enough for the Administered Objects to be initialised before timing out.
In CMPAPIExerciser.getAdministeredObjectFromString(), increase the maximum value of the retries variable, for example:

Code:

if (retries > 99) {
...
}

...instead of 9.
Feel free to raise a PMR to get that value raised in future CSDs; on reflection I think it's too low.

My goodness, I've found another problem here.

If you try and replay your script without the Exerciser GUI (i.e. you specify the script's filename on the command line), the program quits too early.

To get round this, put this code into CMPAPIExerciser.startPlayback(String), after the log(ResourcesHandler.getNLSResource(ResourcesHandler.PLAYBACK_FINISHED)); line.

Code:

while (commandThread.commandQueue.size()>0) {
Thread.sleep(1000);
}

If you do raise a PMR, you might like to mention this fix too.

Right, I'm going to stop looking at this app now before I embarrass myself further.

Thanks for the information. I'll give it a shot. I hope I don't find any more features

All in all it's a great jump start, just need to work out the kinks.

I'll also open that PMR for future releases.

Hello there, did you get any further with these suggestions?
I've made the changes in the fixpack codestream, but I want to make sure it actually solves your problem before claiming it's fixed

Sorry to say I never tested it further. With the problems I was having I went with the script based commands instead of trying to script the exerciser. I was able to accomplish most of what I needed through the script commands so haven't had a chance to get back to this.

The script based processing though only takes you so far, so it is likely I'll be getting back to this soon. Will let you know if i encounter any other issues.

Thanks....
