You can write a custom Java™ class to manipulate data in a send element. This offers
flexibility for injecting data in test, but requires that you write
your own Java class using the Rational® Performance Tester
extension API.
Before you begin
In some cases, complex methods of generating data are required
to send specific content to the server. This can be done by manipulating
data with custom code.
Procedure
To create a new custom code class:
- In the test editor, select a socket send element.
- Select Manipulate data with custom code and click Generate Code. This creates a Java class template
that follows the Rational Performance Tester extension API. The Java class in created in the src folder
of the current project.
- Write the custom code by extending the generating class.
See Extending test execution with custom code for more information
about extending Rational Performance Tester with Java code.
- Save the custom code and the test. You can click View Code to edit the Java class later.
