- Remote Call Test
-
You use the Remote Call Test button to test the Remote Call configuration.
- Interlink Test
-
Used to test Business Interlinks. (Business Interlinks is a deprecated product).
- PeopleCode/Java Test
-
The Derived Class File button tests Java-PeopleCode integration. It tests to see that Java is being executed correctly through PeopleCode.
The External Class File button tests Java PeopleCode integration.
- File Attachment Test
-
This enables you to test the file attachment PeopleCode functions with your file storage location. Enter the full path and password for the test file or a URL identifier (URL.URL_ID). For example:
ftp://user01:password@ftpserver.oracle.com/myfiles
or
URL.FILEDB
Click Attach to attach the file. Once the file is attached, you can View, Detach, and Delete the file.
The file attachment PeopleCode functions and their usage within PeopleSoft applications are documented in detail in the PeopleCode Developer's Guide.
When testing file attachment features, keep these usage stipulations in mind:
Using a URL Identifier is mandatory only for FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS attachment protocols.
FTP, Record, and File attachment protocols, can use the URL Identifier, or they can be specified as a plain string.
Note: The File Attachment Test does not allow .JSP files to be uploaded or downloaded.
Note: PeopleTools supports uploading, downloading, and deleting empty file attachments. An empty file refers to a file that exists, but has a size of zero bytes.
Note: The File Attachment Test utility enables only a single file to be uploaded at a time, because the underlying PeopleCode function is AddAttachment. PeopleTools supports uploading multiple files at a time by using the MAddAttachment PeopleCode function.
Note: For the file attachment functionality, in specifying the URL for the FTP server, the FTP server's machine name can be more than 30 characters. The length of the full URL is limited to 120 characters.
