Testing a Presentation Project

The following procedures must be completed before testing:

  1. Create the data source project, if applicable. Refer to the applicable topic:

  2. Perform the basic orchestration steps, if necessary. Refer to Creating a Simple Orchestration for more information.

  3. Perform the steps in the Getting Ready to Build a New Presentation Project topic.

  4. If needed, update configuration properties for the presentation project. If your data source is OS 2200 Open DTP, refer to Open DTP Configuration Considerations. Also, Refer to Viewing or Changing ePortal Application Configuration Properties

  5. If you require detailed tracing, refer to Logging Errors and Tracing for information about selecting logging levels. If the logging level is set to level 4, ClearPath ePortal displays some simple traces to help with the debugging process in the output window of the debugger. These traces show the contents of the messages sent and received for the Web browser page, mobile application page, or Web service method. In addition, the data sent to and received from the ClearPath server is displayed.

  6. To display the output, open the View menu, then click Output.

Test your ClearPath ePortal project locally before staging and deploying it to the ePortal platform. During this local test, the new presentation project is run and interacts with the existing ClearPath application on a ClearPath server.

To test the project, refer to the following topics:
