How to Transfer values to multiple requests?

Hi Pravin,

In the free version of SoapUI, you can use a Property Transfer step and simply add extra transfers that use the same source, but have a different target. Would this suffice?

Cheers,

Hello Tim,

Thanks for the response but I know these things already.

- Transfer a value from a response to a request (Property transfer)
- Transfer a value from a response to multiple nodes of a request (Property transfer)

What I want to know if there is way we can
- Transfer a value from a response to multiple requests in one go?

I know this is not possible with property transfer because property transfer requires a single target request so to send the data to multiple requests we need some kind of groovy. Isnot it?

Thanks
Pravin

Hi Pravin,

Using a Property Transfer you can simply alter the Target to point at a different request message. Then, just add three Transfers in the single Property Transfer step, but for each transfer, change the target. E.g.

1) Node X on Response 1 transferring from Response A to Request Message B
1) Node X on Response 1 transferring from Response A to Request Message C
1) Node X on Response 1 transferring from Response A to Request Message D

Would this suffice?

Kind regards,
Tim

Tim,

Can you add a screenshot of this thing you mentioned. How can i provide multiple requests in target?

Hi Pravin,

It's very simple, add a new Transfer to the Property Transfer step, keep the same initial Source message (and associated node/element value), but for the second transfer step, select a different target message in the Target section, and then just change the target node/element mapping as required.

Screenshot 1:
Here we've setup a property transfer step and I've highlighted the first transfer within the step. In this step we would transfer a node/element value from the 'Test Request' message Response to the 'Some Other Request' message Request. (Note: I haven't added any mappings here)


Screenshot 2:
Again, we're using the same property transfer step, but we've added a second transfer. Here, we're transferring a node/element value from the original 'Test Request' message Response, but we've selected a different message Request as the Target, 'Another Test Request'. (Note: Again, no mapping have been added)


Kind regards,
Tim

Sorry Again Tim,

I think you misunderstood my question. Please read my original question again

- I know already how to transfer values from one request to another response - using a single property transfer
- I don't want to add another property transfer to transfer another value to other request

What I am asking it
- I want a single step to transfer a certain value to number of requests in one go. cause I actually need literally 100s of values transferred, and I dont want to write individual property transfer for each of them.

Hi Pravin,

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can do this in a single Property Transfer step. However, if you want to transfer a node that has a number of child nodes, you can do this in one single transfer step, but I assume the XML structure will be maintained from the Source to the Target.

For example, if you have some XML:

<soapenv:Envelope>
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <Start>
         <myParam1>Hello</myParam>
         <myParam2>World</myParam>
         <myParam3>You're</myParam>
         <myParam4>Awesome</myParam>
      </Start>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

you can transfer the contents of the <Start> node to the Target in one go, by selecting the 'Transfer Child Nodes' option from within the Property Transfer step.

Kind regards,
Tim
