    Hi,

    Is this part of a virtual asset (Virtualize) scenario or is this part of a test case (SOAtest) scenario?

    If this is a question about SOAtest, and the file is on a remote host, you could use the FTP or SFTP Client tool to execute an "ls" or "get" command to check the file on the remote host.

    Hi William/benken,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    It's a SOA test scenario and its not on the remote host.

    I have used Groovy script in external tool and able to print in the console whether file is present or not.
    But Can you please help me how to pass or fail the test case based on the result.

    Hi,

    On the extension tool there is a check box for "Exit code indicates success" enable that option and then the extension tool could return true when its passes and if it returns false then the test should report a failure.
