FTP Virtualize

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to generate a .csv file and transfer a file to the target location (SFTP) on daily scheduled time using SOA test.

1. How to generate a .csv file with different random values with at least 10 rows.
   for ex: BOFSTXXXXS , julian_date , curr_date , WM003
   2459816190742,11192897,3503217,EA

2. Once it is generated, how to FTP to a target location on scheduled time.

Could you please help on the steps to achieve this using SOA test.

SOAtest is typically used for API and web service testing. What is being tested here? For example, is the application that is consuming the CSV file also have a REST API or service endpoint? Otherwise, perhaps this is something that you would do outside SOAtest. You could generate random data in a custom script or perhaps you generate the CSV beforehand in Excel. The script could run "scp" to upload the file to the target host. A task scheduler like "cron" could be used to run the script at a scheduled time.

No, we are not testing API. Tried below steps using SOAtest.
Step 1 : In SOAtest using standard test -> FTPClient configuring all the target host details to transfer a file from the local folder.
To make step 1 work, we would need a file inside local folder.

We are looking now to generate a CSV file having random values and to be saved inside local folder.
How can we achieve using SOAtest could you please help.
