When compiling a service from the Designer to a deployable repository, a REST service is generated from each BPMN model. Depending on your deployment target, you can test this service in the PAS Administration or in API Management.
| Deployment as Container | Deployment to Integration Component (Bridge) |
|---|---|
For services that have been deployed as container, you have access to the test UI via the PAS Administration: | For services that have been deployed to the PAS integration component (Bridge), you have access to the test UI via the API Management. To test a service in API Management, you have to make sure that the service settings are set correctly before you start the deployment. The settings are different depending on whether a service has a user interface or not: |
Testing Containerized xUML Services
| When the service has been deployed successfully, use icon Open Administration This will open the details of the service within PAS Administration. For detailed information about the PAS Administration see our Administration Guide. |
| On this page, open section Details. |
| Scroll down to tab Endpoints. For each endpoint, you can now use the corresponding |
| A click on the test icon will open the Swagger UI within your PAS Administration. |
| Expand the REST operation to see the necessary parameters. To start testing, enter the required data and click the Execute button. Scroll down to check the test responses. |
Integration Service without UI
| If your service does not contain any forms:
For detailed information about the usage of organizations in API Management, refer to Organizations in the API Management guide. |
| When the service has been deployed successfully, use icon Open Test API |
| The test UI opens within API Management. You can do the following here:
|
| Expand the REST operation to see the necessary parameters. To start testing, enter the required data and click the Execute button. |
| Scroll down to check the test responses. |
Integration Service with UI
| If your service does contain forms:
From PAS 22.1.2 on, the proxy port 5444 is displayed by default when creating a new service.
For detailed information about the usage of organizations in API Management, refer to Organizations in the API Management guide. |
| When the service has been deployed successfully, use icon Open Test API If your service contains more than one BPMN model, a list of all available processes opens. Select the one you want to test. |
| The test UI opens within API Management. Before you can start testing, you need to adjust the API's endpoint to use http. Open the sidebar menu APIs and select My APIs. |
| Use the filter to search for your API. Click its name to open it. |
| Open tab Implementation and check the API Endpoint. The displayed URL will start with https://... |
| Now you have to change the API Endpoint:
Example:
Now Save and Re-Publish to activate the change. If your service contains several processes (BPMNs), you must adapt the endpoint for each of them. |
| Now switch back to the Designer and click the Open Test API icon The test UI opens. Now you can do the following:
|
| Expand the REST operation to see the necessary parameters. To start testing, enter the required data and click the Execute button. |
| Scroll down to check the test responses. |
