Installing Test Complete License manager on VMWare
Hi Folks, I see a few posts about the need for a physical box for the install of License manager and the CPUID etc but no actual details for its setup on VMWare specifically. We currently have 3 parts to our setup: 1) Developing license (seated), each QA will install it on their primary machine. 2) Test execution - floating license, can run on VM's 3) License manager For this question I only care about License Manager. With Covid we are shrinking our physical footprint which means I need to move everything I can into a virtual environment. For us I have a VMWare infrastructure up and ready to go. This consists of 3 Physical Hosts (we are fairly small) with very decent specs. Each host is identical, the VM We will be hosting License manager on will be Server 2019 Datacenter. What if anything do I need to set within either VMWare Host settings or Inside the guest OS to make this function and not break due to license evaluations/checks within the software? I would really appreciate specific's within VMWare, I am astonished the software does not have the ability and/or recommendation to be installed on a VM. I understand the need to protect licenses but there must be a better way to make this easier on your customers too. Any and all help appreciated.
Match Input Wrapper Element with Operation name in Soap 1.1 Request to Virtual Service
I am trying to mock an external SOAP WebService that I have no control over. The specs are Soap 1.1 with an empty soapAction HTTP header and a generic URL. There are 13 operations under the URL and wsdl. Their system matches the input wrapper element right after the SOAP Body element. The input wrapper element is the same name as the operation in the wsdl. I've searched days and have found no answers on how I can map the incoming request to the operation that was built in ReadyAPI's virtual service. It seems you can only dispatch incoming request to either a specific URL per operation or the soap action. I've been looking at the OnRequest Script, which is run before going to the request dispatch, which routes to the correct request operation. I can parse the soap body and get the operation name from the input wrapper element. After that I have found no solution in finding a way to know call the correct operation. I keep getting a HTTP ERROR 500 Failed to dispatch request when submitting the soap request to the virtual service. Does anyone know how I can correctly dispatch the incoming messages to the correct operation in the request? I have not found a way to set the operation name, etc.
