Test Checkpoints

A Test checkpoint defines a single report test setup.

The following settings are needed on the report to create and use a Test checkpoint:

• Set Archive to Default or Manual to archive a report. This setting is used to archive the report.

• Set the Save XML toggle button to Yes. The XML file is saved for comparing the Test checkpoint with the test result.

• Do not leave the Table for archive field blank, otherwise, you will get the following error when creating a Test checkpoint for the report:

Error

Checkpoint archive does not have linked reference record. Make sure that report has 'Table for archive' set and that archive used for checkpoint has reference record to it.

• Do not leave the Resend menu item blank, otherwise, you will get the following error message when running a test and using Force rerun:

Error

No object specified on menu item

If you are using a custom Lasernet Query (not a replacement Lasernet Query), set this to LACRunController.

Example Setup for the SalesConfirmReplacement Replacement Report

• Archive set to Default.

• Save XML set to Yes.

• Table for archive set to CustConfirmJour in this example, but this may vary depending on the Query you are using.

• Resend menu item set to SalesConfirmation in this example, but this may vary depending on the SSRS report being replaced.

Example Setup for a Custom Lasernet Query that Uses the CustTable in the Query

• Archive set to Default.

• Save XML set to Yes.

• Table for archive set to CustTable in this example, but this may vary depending on the custom Query you are using.

• Resend menu item set to LACRunController.

Create a Test Checkpoint

A Test checkpoint can be created once a report has been run and an archive record has been created. A Test checkpoint can be created from:

• The Lasernet report form

• The Lasernet Archive

Create a Test Checkpoint from the Lasernet Report

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Lasernet > Common > Reports.

2. Select a report, and then click Testing > New checkpoint.

This will open a form displaying a record for the last time that this report was archived. In this example, the PurchPurchaseOrderReplacement was last archived:

• On 15/07/2024 at 11:25:46

• Run by Admin

• Printed to Screen

This data can be used to check that you are creating a Test checkpoint for the correct archived report run. The Checkpoint and Description fields are predefined for you. However, these can be changed if needed.

3. Click Create to create a Test checkpoint for this report run.

The Test checkpoint form will automatically open once the Test checkpoint is created. Here is the Test checkpoint record in the Test checkpoint form:

Create a Test Checkpoint from the Archive

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Lasernet > Common > Archive.

2. Select an Archive record, and then click Testing > New checkpoint.

This will open a form displaying a record for this report run. In this example, the PurchPurchaseOrderReplacement was run:

• On 27/06/2024 at 15:14:42

• Run by Admin

• Printed to Screen

This data can be used to check that you are creating a Test checkpoint for the correct archived report run. The Checkpoint and Description fields are predefined for you. However, these can be changed if needed.

3. Click Create to create a Test checkpoint for this report run.

The Test checkpoint form will automatically open once the Test checkpoint is created. Here is the Test checkpoint record in the Test checkpoint form:

Test Checkpoints in the Archive
