  • 1.  Is there any way to extract a list of operations from a VSI file

    Posted Jan 24, 2017 04:08 PM

    I would like to know if there is a way to extract a list of operations from a VSI file.

    Also is there a way to quickly search a VSI for an operation matching some search criteria?

    I don't find either of these in DevTest workstation.

    I don't find it in DevTest Rest Api as well.

    You would have to write your own script to extract the list of operations in a VSI.  We don't have this feature out of the box.  

    Regarding your question on   " is there a way to quickly search a VSI for an operation matching some search criteria?"  , please see these links below.

    Hope this helps.

    As Shiney states, this is not an OOTB feature.  

     

    You can roll-your-own code to iterate the VSI (see example).  Use a significant amount caution when you do these kinds of things because CA reserves the right to alter the structure and storage mechanism associated with DevTest assets at any time.  

     

    In the test case below, point the first step to the VSI you want to consume.  The LASTRESPONSE from the second step lists the operations found in the VSI by navigating over the XML.   Use the attached example at your own risk.  This is not guaranteed to work on your particular VSI - although it did work correctly on my sample VSI.
