Specify "Use 'Normal' status if" in an import file

kevinkenny · Post by **kevinkenny** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:32 am

Following up from my previous question Configure HTTP test to go bad only on 503 status.

We're generating and importing tests automatically using an "Execute HMS script" action and executing the ImportFromFile command, for example:

Code: Select all

; We use a Http test to poll a web page that returns a single value uniquely identifying the site
; value is stored in %HttpPage% 
;
; Generate import file 
ExecuteProgram 10000 c:\testgen\TestGenerator.exe -domainid:%HttpPage% -action:add

; Now import the test
ImportFromFile c:\testgen\Import.txt SkipDuplicates  WriteLog

; Save and done
SaveTestList

In the import file I need to be able to configure the "Use 'Normal' status if" option and set it to "%HttpCode%<>503". I don't see a way of doing this.

I also don't see a way of setting this in HMS either. Is this possible?

Thanks
Kevin

Add 2 lines into test description
UseNormal = Yes
NormalExpr = %HttpCode%<>503

Thanks Alex.

Is there a full list of the parameters you can use, I couldn't find that documented.

There's the sample import file but those two parameters aren't listed.

We change list of parameters all the time...
If you want to find some parameters, you may export such test into text and check the file.

Yes I just realised I could export in text format and see how they are constructed

Thanks again
