To clear the attributes of a business object response of their values, click the Clear BO values button in the toolbar of the "Response BO" window. Working with response business objects Response business objects are those that you send from a Client Simulator view when it is emulating a connector that is the recipient of business object requests in an interface. Working with request business objects consists of editing the values in the business object instance and sending the response back to the server. If you create and send a business object request as described in "Working with business object requests in the Client Simulator view" on page 241 and it is successfully processed by the interface, then the business object appears in the Result Pane of any destination connectors in the interface. Figure 70 on page 238 shows a Result Pane in which a business object request has been received. "Editing response business objects" describes how to edit a business object request that has been received, and "Sending response business objects" describes how to send the instance as a response. Editing response business objects When you receive a business object request in a Client Simulator view that is emulating a destination client in an interface, you frequently want to edit the values of the attributes. For instance, you will want to provide unique values for primary key attributes that participate in relationships, or you will want to modify the value of other attributes to test map or collaboration logic that responds differently depending on the exact values in the business object. Do the following to set the values of business object attributes: 1. Do one of the following to edit the business object request in the "Response BO" window: v Double-click the business object instance in the Result Pane. v Select the business object instance in the Result Pane, then click the down arrow in the right-hand corner of the title bar of the Client Simulator view and select Reply > Edit Response. 2. Do one of the following to edit the attributes of the business object: v Use one of the techniques described in "Setting values for business object attributes" on page 243 to modify the values of the business object attributes. v Import business object data from a file as described in "Importing a response business object" on page 247. The ability to import saved data into a business object request is very useful in situations where you have to populate a response business object with data before sending it as a reply. Instead of manually typing a value for each attribute that requires response data, you can type the values once, export the business object (as described in "Exporting a response business object" on page 247), and then import the saved data on subsequent tests. Sending response business objects After you edit a request business object (if editing is needed), you send it back to the server as a reply. Table 30 on page 246 lists the reply options and shows their corresponding connector return codes for both C++ and Java connectors. For more detailed information about C++ or Java Connector return codes, see the Connector Development Guide for Java or C++. Chapter 12. Using Integrated Test Environment 245
