Extract data source value using javascript

chinnappa_raju

I need to extract value of datasource column using Javascript and combine it with other values. I see some examples of Jython in the forum. Can't we achieve this using Javascript in SOATest?

function doSomething(input, context) {
   someValue = context.getValue("dataSourceName", "columnName")
}

Also see "Parasoft SOAtest User's Guide > Reference > Extensibility (Scripting) Basics"

Thanks, that worked for a datasource, but not working for a Generated Data Source like a value from Text Data Bank. I need to concatenate values from data source and random generated value - from text data bank

Use "Generated Data Source" for the data source name, the first argument in that method call. The second argument would be the data bank column name.
