Execution Properties

When you choose to suppress selected level of messages in server output and logs, you might want to see that same behavior in your Ruletests first. These settings restrict each of the three types of Rule Messages (info, warning, and violation) from being posted to the output of an execution. They are test server settings that correspond to the properties:

com.corticon.server.restrict.rulemessages.info
com.corticon.server.restrict.rulemessages.warning
com.corticon.server.restrict.rulemessages.violation

Also, you can choose to suppress the work document output in server output and logs, and you can test that same behavior (suppressing the Output pane) in your Ruletests first.

The following execution property suppresses the creation of the output pane, and displays just rule messages:

com.corticon.server.restrict.response.rulemessages.only

You can see the impact of these restrictions in testsheets by engaging each of the toggles under Execution Properties on the Ruletest > Testsheet menu as shown:



When an option is checked, messages of that type are suppressed:



Clicking an option again clears it, so that the message type or output is again produced.

Importing that message will toggle—in this example—the corresponding Testsheet options, Restrict Info Messages and Return Only Rule Messages.
