Processing element TEST

Processing element test is used to check value of AD fields against rule parameter or text value. According to check result iws rule can perform further action – alter applications print messages. The test is made using condition in COND element.

The TEST element is searching for all data within the AD application and applying conditions to all of them. If you for example test the values of workstation for AD operation, then the test will run over all operations a test their values. If at least one of the operation workstations will fulfill the condition, then the test will return true.

The more complicate testing the TEST element can use regular expression. The syntax of regular expression must comply PCRE Perl compatible regular expression, which is used as standard in PHP.

Example: Test whether application owner is P390K. If it is P390K, insert new operation and runcycle

<TEST ID="test01">
	<COND>adowner=P390K</COND>
	<INSERT ID="ins01">
		<ADOP adopno='005' adopwsid='CPU' adopdur='0005'  /> 
		<ADRUN position="0" adrper='DAY' adrtype="X" adrunrule="1"
				adrvalf="20140825" adrvalt="20711231" /> 
	</INSERT>
</TEST>

Example: Test whether application ID is starting with string P3

<TEST ID="test04">
<COND>adid EQ P3*</COND>
</TEST>

Example: Testing using regular expression. Test is true if is 5th character in application id (adid) is a digit

<TEST ID="test03">
<COND>adid =~ /\A.{5}\d/</COND> 
</TEST>
