These runners are generally used in testing and getting to know how ethel works. They don't contact any source or target system, they just update the message object and generate other tasks if other runners are configured.
The runners are:
MockExtractor
This runner mocks extracting objects from a source system
Configuration options
Attribute | Data type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
addMessage | boolean |
| Whether to add an object to the body to simulate larger extractors |
batchConfig | number | BatchConfig | none | See batches |
cancelCheckNumber | number |
| How often, in tasks raised, to check if the extract should be cancelled |
generateError | number | none | Whether to generate a random error. The smaller the number the more likely an error. 1 gives an error every time. |
messages | number |
| The number of tasks to create |
randomiseWait | boolean |
| Whether to randomise the wait number |
wait | number | none | Milliseconds to wait before raising the next task |
Message attributes
If configured, it adds the following from a SharePoint message to the message object of raised tasks:
extractItemmetadata for the item extractedquarantinequarantine lookup for the itemextractHashlookup name used to store the extract hash, if hashName is configured
MockTransformer
This runner mocks transforming the message
Configuration options
Attribute | Data type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
crash | boolean |
| Generate a node crash event to test how the system goes down and recovers |
generateError | number | none | Whether to generate a random error. The smaller the number the more likely an error. 1 gives an error every time. |
randomiseWait | boolean |
| Whether to randomise the wait number |
wait | number | none | Milliseconds to wait before raising the next task |
Message attributes
This runner does not use or update the message object.
MockLoader
This runner mocks loading objects into a target system
Configuration options
Attribute | Data type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
addHash | boolean |
| Whether to save the extractHash lookup |
generateError | number |
| Whether to generate a random error. The smaller the number the more likely an error. 1 gives an error every time. |
randomiseWait | boolean |
| Whether to randomise the wait number |
wait | number | none | Milliseconds to wait before raising the next task. |
Message attributes
Option | Data type | Description |
