How can I parameterize the complete end point details?

Question

Hi All,
&nbsp;
We are implementing REST web services automation for our system and there is a requirement to parameterize the end point details, say the end point is
&nbsp;
UAT env:
https://dwu-usystem11:9002/authorizationserver/auth?username=test&amp;password=test
Test env:
https://dwu-usystem11:9002/authorizationserver/auth?username=test&amp;password=test
&nbsp;
In our current implementation we&nbsp;have created two environments(Test and UAT) and saving the end point in the resepective environment. When some thing on the end point host name, that is https://dwu-usystem11:9002 changes from 9002 to 9003, then its happening to go to each and every end point ( we have around 200+ end points) and update the node value to 9002 to 9003.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
To over come this problem do we have a solution of maintaining the end point host name value in a property and reading it, so that if any thing changes in it we could just update the propery or any one point place.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Really appreciate your help.
&nbsp;
Thanks,

Hi&nbsp;SanthoshShetty,
&nbsp;
Yes, you can store your endpoint in global proberties and&nbsp;parameterise it, so if any change came , you only need to modify only at 1 place.
&nbsp;
Global Properties situated at:
Preference -&gt; Global Properties
&nbsp;
Syntax to use Global Properties value:
${PropertyName}
&nbsp;

Hi Himanshu,
&nbsp;
Thanks alot for your reply. It answers my question, but in our scenario we want to pass the host name details dynamically from the command line. Can we write/ overide the property value dynamically by passing the value in command line argument.
&nbsp;
Global property created is : EndPoint and its value is -&nbsp;https://dwu-usystem11:9002
Actual End point:&nbsp;https://dwu-usystem11:9002/authorizationserver/auth?username=test&amp;password=test
Rest Service created in the test case in the below format:
${EndPoint} /authorizationserver/auth?username=test&amp;password=test
&nbsp;
Now if I have to run on different end point say -&nbsp;https://dwu-usystem22:9002, then can I pass this value from the command line argument and override the existing property value so that it runs on the end point -&nbsp;https://dwu-usystem22:9002
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Really appreciate and thank you.
