Service Virtualization

Hi,

I want to record a live API and protocol is HTTP. URL would be like http://ip-address:portnumber/basepath.

I am able to provide the Target host as "ip-address" and Target port as "port" but there is no provision for providing the basepath.

So when i start recording tool is not able to connect to live system since the basepath is not given in the recorder step, so as a result getting error response as not able to connect API and the same is recorded to VSI.

Could you please help me with this issue. Thanks in Advance.

So "ip-address" is now the IP address of the recorder and "portnumber" is the port number of the recorder.

In your URL, you record http://ip-address:portnumber/basepath

You don't want to have the base path in the recorder, because your application is appending basepath to the URL. Perhaps you've replaced too much of your real URL with the virtual URL? It's designed to be able to drop-in the virtual service in place of the real service, so your environmental configuration should be to replace hostname and port number, but leave everything else the same, just like what would happen when moving between different pre-prod environments. The DevTest recorder for HTTP is a gateway / proxy device, so it captures *all* HTTP service calls between the pieces of architecture in-scope and those out-of-scope.

http://real-backend-ipaddress:real-port/myBasepath becomes

http://virtual-backend-ipaddress:virtual-port/myBasepath
