can we call a xml request from another xml request

Question

Hi Guys,I have question and hope you help me with a solution.In my soapUI project, Under a request xml, I have a requirement where the first part does create a doc in IBM FileNet and the second part files the doc into a folder. When I run the xml request though the xml response generates back with GUID of doc that it is created in my filenet but the second part of filing the doc in folder does not execute so for which I removed that piece and placed in another xml request. Now my requirement is, when I run the first request xml, can the second request xml be called after executing the first request xml.Please help me as I don't see any help so far in this forum.Thanks,Venkat.

Do you mean to say that there are two steps in a test case? And you need to retrieve some value from the previous response?
Then you need to look at the properties.

Sorry for the confusion. What I mean to say is, If I run a request xml which is named as 'A', the 'A' request xml should call/execute another request xml i.e. 'B' request XML. These both request xml's are present in the same soupUI project.

Have you gone through the soapui documentation? And the links provided to you? Are they helpful?

I understand what are trying to say. Here I no need to capture any properties using custom properties. I really even don't see the custom properties option in my soupUI 4.5.2. May be I'm using the trial version. Trying to find out other options if any.

Sorry, look not quite received yet. Somewhere the essence of the below is lost, perhaps with me.

What I mean to say is, If I run a request xml which is named as 'A', the 'A' request xml should call/execute another request xml i.e. 'B' request XML. These both request xml's are present in the same soupUI project.

What I i understand is that, you might have imported a wsdl file, where you see different operation and a request xml under each.
But you wanted to call two operations in certain sequence.
In order to do this, you need to create a test suite, add a test case and include the operations need as steps. Then run the test case.

May be this will help
