Test a rule specification to verify that the data flows through the rule specification in the ways that you expect. If possible, use the business data to test the rule specification.
1Open the rule specification.
2Select the primary rule set.
3In the rule specification properties, click Test.
The properties view displays the input columns that you configured in the rule specification.
4 Select a Secure Agent to run the test.
To refresh the list of active Secure Agents, click the Refresh icon.
5Enter one or more data values in an input column. You can enter data values for any rule set in the rule specification.
If you enter date data in an input column, use one of the following date formats:
- yyyy-MM-dd
- yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
- yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS
Note: To test a rule statement that reads a list of date values as an input, enter the date data in the format yyyy-MM-dd.
6Click Run Test.
The Outputs view displays the path of the data values through the rule specification.
If your rule statement contains the status value Invalid and you configured the action to describe exception data, the test results include columns for the exception data options that you specified.
7Verify that the rule sets read the input values and write the output values that you expect.
- A data value from a child rule set might generate output values on multiple rule sets. Verify that the test results indicate a data value on each rule set.
- If a data value does not generate an output on a rule set, the test results show an empty field for the rule set.
