How to Test an Opalis Workflow

  • Article

Applies To: Opalis 6.2.2

After you have finished building the Opalis policy, you can test it by using the Policy Testing Console. The Policy Testing Console enables you to verify each object in the Opalis policy as it runs in test mode.

Click Test to test the policy and click Start. The Monitor File object waits until a file is dropped into the folder you specified. Trigger the policy by copying a .txt file to the Drop folder.

Watch how the Monitor File object detects the file and the Copy File object copies the file. Now that you know that the policy works, you can load it into the Action Server and have it run continuously.

To test the Opalis policy

  1. In the Opalis Integration Server Client, open the Opalis policy that you want to test in the workspace.

  2. Copy a *.txt file to the C:\Drop folder.

  3. Click Test. The Policy Testing Console opens.

  4. To run through the Opalis policy from beginning to end without stopping, click Run.

    Note

    To run through the Opalis policy one object at a time, click Step Over. When the Policy Testing Console pauses at the next Opalis object, click Next to continue.

  5. Observe the Test Console Log to see that the Monitor File object detects the file and the Copy File object copies the file to the correct destination folder.

Now that the Opalis policy works, you can load it into the Action Server and run it continuously.
