Overview
TM Test Tool (sometimes referred to as the run-time tool) provides an environment in which the generated transforms can be executed. It has a Graphical User Interface (GUI), but it can also be invoked from a command line. The Test Tool GUI is provided primarily for the purpose of testing projects created with the TM Design Tool; the transformation programs produced would typically be deployed either as ‘stand-alone’ utilities or as components in some larger system.
The following section describes how the Test Tool is used to transform data using programs developed with TM Design Tool.
It includes instructions for:
The Test Tool is intended to be used for running test transformations before
the transformation programs are deployed into a ‘live’ environment. In a
production environment, the Test Tool will normally be started using a script or
from a command prompt with arguments which specify the transformation project to
run; in this case the Graphical User Interface (GUI) does not appear.
