Extracts the output parameters produced during the execution of the ruleset.

The extracted value is a table of strings, and can be compared using the following operators:

All operators can also take as a test value the name and path of an XML file containing code to be searched for in the output parameters. This file is given after the databinding class required to read the file. For example:

<test extractor="OUTPUT_PARAMETERS" operator="CONTAINS"> [ilog.rules.ras.binding.xml.impl.IlrXMLInOutParametersImpl]./data/scenario/template/inputs/LoanValidationInputReference.xml
</test>

The operators CONTAINS and NOT_CONTAINS can also take as test values blocks of XML code. The test searches all nodes of the pattern, ignoring other structures in the extracted results.

For example, to search for the following pattern:

<ilog.rsm.searchpattern type="ilog.rsm.searchpattern">
      <amount type="double">250.0</amount>
      <handler type="string">Agent</handler>
      <handlerID type="string">Ag123</handlerID>
</ilog.rsm.searchpattern>

within output parameters in the following style:

<entry>
  <string>outputs</string>
  <vector>
...
[many ilog.rsm.searchpattern patterns]
...
  </vector>
</entry>

you would define your test as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tests>
   <test extractor="OUTPUT_PARAMETERS" operator="CONTAINS">
      <entry>
         <string>outputs</string>
         <vector>
            <ilog.rsm.searchpattern type="ilog.rsm.searchpattern">
               <amount type="double">250.0</amount>
               <handler type="string">Agent</handler>
               <handlerID type="string">Ag123</handlerID>
            </ilog.rsm.searchpattern>
         </vector>
      </entry>
   </test>
</tests>
