Hi SanthoshShetty,

 

Yes, you can store your endpoint in global proberties and parameterise it, so if any change came , you only need to modify only at 1 place.

 

Global Properties situated at:

Preference -> Global Properties

 

Syntax to use Global Properties value:

${PropertyName}

Hi Himanshu,

 

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.

 

Global property created is : EndPoint and its value is - https://dwu-usystem11:9002

Actual End point: https://dwu-usystem11:9002/authorizationserver/auth?username=test&password=test

Rest Service created in the test case in the below format:

${EndPoint} /authorizationserver/auth?username=test&password=test

 

Now if I have to run on different end point say - 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 - https://dwu-usystem22:9002

 

 

Really appreciate and thank you.
