Service Virtualization

Hi All,

As you all know using Read a File step in VSM, we can load any file and store it into a property.

actually the VSM that we were using  will generate file for each request and the file gets stored it in a directory with file name starting with year month and date etc..eg: 2018091103153664234021802222 

this file name will not be same for each request. 

in this case how to define the file name location in the Read a File step? [in order to load it and save the file to a property since the file name is not always same]

PFA the screenshot for the Read a File test step.

Hi,

Do you have any relationships between the request to Virtual service and the file which you mentioned?
Is the file read from only one request to the Virtual service? Or is it read from multiple requests to the Virtual Service?
How is it created?

If you can get the file name before the "Read File step" and the file name is already save to a property, then you can read the target file from the "Read File step".
In this case, you should change the "File:" field in "Read File step" as <fullpath of the location>/<your property name>.
For example if you define the property name as datafile and the location is c:\temp, then the value of "File:" field is
c:/temp/{{datafile}}

Thank you,
