Use the Virtualization tab

The Virtualization tab is part of the Technical View in Tosca Commander.

To open it, select a Module, navigate to the Technical View and click on Virtualization.

The Virtualization tab

The Virtualization tab offers the following options:

Option

Description

Transport

Define information that is relevant for the transport of messages, such as HTTP headers.

The type of transport depends on the service port used in the message.

Direction

Define the direction of a message:

  • In: Messages to Tosca OSV

  • Out: Messages to the Client

By default, the direction is In for request messages and Out for response messages.

Service Port

Specify the service port which should send or receive the message.

The name specified here must be same as the one specified in the OSV Monitor.

Counter

Define how often a message is used within a Scenario. You can set Counter instead of re-using the same Module several times.

  • Inbound messages: How often must an inbound message be received.

  • Outbound messages: How often must the message be sent.

Verification

Specify the verification mode of the message structure.

  • Normal: Inbound messages must contain the specified message elements, but can have additional elements.

  • Strict: Inbound messages must only contain the specified message elements.

Weight

Specify the weight of a message. If the message could be assigned to several Scenarios, the system assigns it to the Scenario with the highest weight. The DefaultValue is 0.

Scheduled

Specify the delay for outbound messages. You can enter a positive integer to indicate a delay in seconds, e.g. 4.

Alternatively, you can enter absolute values:

  • the time in UTC (=GMT), e.g. 18:00

  • specific dates, e.g. {DATE[2011-09-03][][]}

  • a specific date of a previous message (buffer), e.g. {DATE[{B[SettlementDate]}][][]

  • dynamic date/time expressions, e.g. {DATE[{B[TradingDate]}][+1d+10h][]

To delay a response message by milliseconds, you can add time to your response time (see chapter "Increase response time").
