Data source correlation using request body and excel datasource

in Virtualize

Hi all,

I have a soap request containing and element with a value of 1000. I have a column with this value and I have double checked that the value is set to use this columm. However, when I set this request the fields are not parameterized with the information from the correct (or any) row. upon sending the request, the other elements are still empty. Am I missing any steps to make this work correctly?

    This is in a responder? For rows to be used a data source correlation must be configured on the incoming request so that we can correlate from a value in the request to the values that should be used for the response.

    What data source correlations do you have configured?

    Yes this is in a responder. I have correlated my request body element "price" to the data source column name "PRICE" in my excel datasource.

    Can you attach your pva and the request message you sending so that I can take a look?

    I can attach my request, but the pva file will not load into the attached files for whatever reason.

    Did you try zipping it? I think I have seen that work.

    That worked, I believe I set up this pva to be similar to the one I have been using

    Hi

    I see that you are using responder correlations and a responder in multiple response mode. Multiple response mode is meant for sending literal responses but if you need to use a data source then the settings must be configured in the "Data Source Correlation" tab.

    I am attaching a pva that I created using 9.10.5 that breaks up the single responder in multiple response mode from the example into three responders each one using a data source for its specific request and response values. I have also included a tst file that can be used to send messages to the virtual service.

    Let me know if this helped!

    Awesome, I think I misunderstood what the datasource correlation did. I thought it would populate my request as it was sent
