    If you are able to clear the trans.log file and have access to it, you can use the following groovy script:

     

    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("/path/to/log/trans.log");
writer.print("");
writer.close();

    That will zero out the file and erase ALL contents of it. From there, you need a groovy script to parse the contents of the log.

    def fileContents = new File("/path/to/log/trans.log").text.split("\n");


for (line in fileContents)
{
	if (line.contains("<v:name>purchase-all</v:name>"))
	{
		log.info(line);
	}
}

    That's a basic proof of concept that you should be able to modify to do what you want.

Hi

 

Yes, actually these values are not unique. This might be because of other previous requests. but we can resolve this using following strategy.

 

Using groovy

1. How can we clean the contents of trans.log file.

Note: If we clean the contents of trans.log file before sending requests, whatever large data is there will be erased and issue of previous large data will be solved.

2. Then send data purchase API

3. Then <v:name>purchase-all</v:name> will be unique. How can we verify verify using groovy weather this <v:name>purchase-all</v:name> present or not.

 

I might be wrong somewhere. Please correct me.

 

Regards

Vishal
