Oracle ORDS 19.2: URI Template with multiple bind variables? - oracle

-currently testing through Postman-
want a guide for this as:
i do not want to expose the parameters and their values in URL.
when using URI Template like myuri/:bindvar (single bind variable) then i can send parameters in Body.
but when creating Handler's parameters ( multiple ) i can get successful message and update sending those through Parameter tab but i can't access successfully sending those parameters through Body, parameter values are null.
the sample from oracle have 3 Templates contain bind variables in URI but all are have single bind variable.

You only need to supply the values you want to return as response
Otherwise, there's nothing special about coding a PUT handler in ORDS compared to a GET or POST - You just need to build up your PLSQL block to do the work, in this case an UPDATE, and then build out the response you want to send back to your REST API consumer.

JMeter - Unable to click Parameter tab when added Body Data

Why I cannot click on Parameters tab in HTTP Request section after I insert JSON body data in Body Data tab? I tried to define correlation and of course this will require us to define the variable as well. Just wondering, after I'm done with correlation part, how can I insert the variable in Parameters if it is disabled?
You can't send Parameters and Body Data, you must choose only one option of sending request body
If you need to send extra parameters in additional to request body then use query parameters in Path field, for example
path?parameter1=value&parameter2=value2
If you want to variablize/correlate the JSON request body - you can put the relevant JMeter Functions/Variables directly into "Body Data" tab
as you can see all the functions/variables are getting replaced by their respective values.
Also most probably you're getting JSON as the response so it makes sense to consider switching to JSON Extractor or even better JSON JMESPath Extractor for the correlation.

Unable to access POST parameter values - IIB Esql

So I'm quite new to IIB and Extended SQL but what I want to do should be straight forward. I have a REST application which has a resource that is attached to a subflow. What I want to do is to get the input value passed to the service and use it to call a remote web service using the HTTP request node as shown below
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.HTTP.RequestLine.Method = 'POST';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.HTTP.RequestURL = 'http://localhost:8002/MyService';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.HTTP.QueryString.RemoteParam= InputLocalEnvironment.REST.Input.Parameters.myValue;
What is happening is, when I call the REST method and pass the value as a GET, I'm able to access the value. However, when I pass the parameter value using POST, I'm unable to access the value. My current flow is as follows:
Input > Compute > HTTPRequest > Compute > Output
I have searched on Google and applied all recommendations (e.g. setting compute node to LocalEnvironment) but nothing seems to work.
Well, we need more information in order to solve your problem but I guess you have problem in your HTTP request node
Go to HTTP request then in properties go to HTTP setting and change HTTP method to the method that you are using ( get or post )
and if you want to see if you are fetching data from right property just lunch debugger and put breakepoint in before and after of your nodes, then you can see what data you are receiving in each level and you can call the proper property.
ps. don't forget to deploy your project again in order to see new
changes
I hope that works for you
After further research, I found that IIB does not automatically parse content submitted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I inserted a trace node and realised that the parameters are instead submitted as a BLOB. All I had to do was read the blob, cast it to a string then use a Split function or a message model to get the individual parameters. Thanks for the pointers

Using JMETER GUI JDBC Request with Callable Statement – how do I getResultSet/MetaData?

I’ve got a call to my database working as a SQL select statement. But I am working to call a stored procedure using JMeter for further testing. I’m strictly working off of the JMX files and do not have JMETER integrated into our main Java project at this time.
I’ve setup the JMETER GUI with the JDBC Connection Configuration and the JDBC Request. I’ve made a successful call to my database with my callable statement with my string INPUT and get the string OUTPUT parameter string.
The OUTPUT parameter string only contains information about the call (user,system, success, etc…), but none of the values/data from the table -- which are found in the ResultSet/MetaData. But I cannot figure out how to get the ResultSet or the Metadata using the JDBC Request in JMETER.
In Java, I know I use the statement and just call statement.getResultSet() and perform a loop while resultSet.next() exists. How do I do this in JMETER?
I've tried adding an additional out parameter but then my statement rejects the call, because there is only one in-parameter. I've tried a variety of JMeter Assertions - but because the main call is only returning the out parameter, I cannot grab additional data.
Query: call XXXXX.readUser(?)
Parameter Values: ${inputJSONString}
Parameter Types: INOUT VARCHAR
Variable Names: ouputJSONString
Result Variable Name: ouputJSONString
View Results Tree: Response code: 200, Response message: OK, Output variables by position: Contains the whole JSON out parameter string with user, system, and success. Returns the table column headers but no values.
I do not have errors - the call is being made successfully. I just cannot figure out how to access the Result Set from JMETER.
Don't use the same reference name for the Variable Names and the Result Variable Name as the latter one will be overwritten.
So
Change ouputJSONString to i.e. ouputJSONStringObject
Add JSR223 PostProcessor as the child of the request
You will be able to access the JMeter's representation of the ResultSet as vars.getObject('ouputJSONStringObject') (basically ArrayList of HashMaps
See Debugging JDBC Sampler Results in JMeter article for more details.
Unfortunately you cannot access the normal ResultSet as it is not exposed anywhere and being converted via private function

Conditionally sending jmeter variables with HTTP request

I am using JMeter to send HTTP POST requests.
My body of the request is JSON, for example something like {"Var1": "${Var1}","Var2": ${Var2},"Var3":"${Var3}"}.
These are set in the parameters of the HTTP requests with no name for the parameter. This works fine and I am able to send requests using the variables that I set in a beanshell pre processor (by setting the variables and using vars.put() ).
My question is how can I send programmatically through the preprocessor part of the parameters? For example:
if(a){
send parameters `{"Var1": "${Var1}","Var2": ${Var2}` as my JSON
}
else {
send parameters `{"Var3":"${Var3}"}` as my JSON
}
vars.remove() doesn't work for me as it removes the value from the variable but still sends it in the request (for example as "${Var1}").
Replace the preprocessor by a Beanshell Sampler that will compute a boolean value a and put it as a var:
vars.put("a", value)
Then use 2 If Controllers where each one will contain a sampler with the different parameters.
Condition of first one will be ${a} and for be it will be the negation of ${a}.
Just use the "Body Data" tab. You can conditionally create the JSON string and then just "print" the variable in the body data using normal placeholders.
The easiest and fastest way of achieving what you want to do is to use the JMeter if controller (Add -> Logic controller -> If controller).
You add an if controller to the Thread Group that you're working on and place your expression that returns a boolean in Condition (default Javascript). As a child node for the if controller you place the HTTP Request sampler that you want to fire in case the if is successful.
Suppose you want to send a request if a property that you are passing to JMeter exists:
${__P(media)}.length > 0
The you add another if controller with a negated condition for what you just checked with another HTTP Request sampler.
You're done.

Flex 4 - Sending string (such as JSON) using HTTPService

When I use HTTPService.send(paramter) as a POST request, the web server does not appear to see variable "parameter" if it is a string. The server sees the parameter if it's an Object, but I'm looking to use something like httpservice.send(JSON.encode(object)); Is this possible?
Why not use the actual request objects.
in your service define request objects and post them or send them as get if you please.
Sample code here: http://pastebin.com/ft7QW2vg
Then just call .send on the service.
on the server you can simlpy process if with request.form (Asp)
Failing which why not append it to the url with a binding expression. (you would need to encode it since you would be more or less faking a url or a get behaviour).
