Hi,
Normally there is nothing in the response to indicate to the calling application if the response was from a virtual asset or from the live server. You could configure the responders in the virtual asset to add some extra data that doesn't come back in responses from the live service. For example an extra http header.

If you want to supply a payload without escaping the quotes you can add the following conversion

ASSET_PAYLOAD='{"account":{"balance":5022.93,"customerId":12212,"id":13344,"type":"CHECKING"}}'
echo $ASSET_PAYLOAD
echo
ASSET_PAYLOAD=${ASSET_PAYLOAD//\"/"\\\""}
echo $ASSET_PAYLOAD

Im not sure if this will work all the time but for the simple case it saves time escaping

Without a template I believe it will create parameterized responders and the api should require that you provide data repository information.

Hi, you can review how the messages were processed in the "Message Grouping Review" step of the Traffic Wizard. The view shows groups, processed pairs, invalid pairs, etc.

I wasn't able to find where to create the template. Sorry, I've been a CA SV guy for quite some time. Trying to get familiar with a new product here.

No worries

To create a template proceed through the traffic wizard in the desktop to create the pva file. Go all the way to the last step of the wizard, before clicking finish click the box to say you want a template and pick a file name plus location. See attached screenshot.

Hi,
It sounds like you would want to use the resource "POST /v6/files/pvas/traffic" which will need a traffic file uploaded to the server. An example payload might be
{ "repositoryConnectionSettings": { "port": 2424, "host": "dataRepositoryServer", "repositoryName": "createPvaFromTraffic", "password": "admin", "user": "admin" }, "name": "createPvaFromTraffic", "parent": { "id": "/CreateFromTraffic" }, "trafficFile": { "id": "/uploads/Traffic.txt" }, "characterEncoding": "UTF-8" }

You'll want to replace most of these values with your own but in this example we are creating a pva called "createPvaFromTraffic" in a project named "CreateFromTraffic" in the workspace. We are using a traffic file in the workspace located at "/uploads/Traffic.txt" and the data for messages will be put into the repository with connection settings specified.

To try it out there is a useful api documentation page that you can find on the server be opening a browser and going to http://::9080/soavirt/api and you can find the resource mention and test out different payloads.

Hope this helps!
