Resolve REST Conflicts Wizard

Relevant for: API testing only

REMOVE THIS TOPIC This wizard enables you to resolve differences between REST service steps and the prototype method on which they were based. The wizard detects changes such as added, removed, or renamed properties and helps you resolve them.

Prerequisites

Ensure that an API test or component is in focus in the document pane, or selected in the Solution Explorer.
Create a prototype for a REST service method. For details, see Create a REST service model.
Drag one or more REST service methods from the Toolbox pane to the canvas.
Select a REST method in the Toolbox pane and choose Edit Service from the right-click menu. In the Edit REST Service dialog box, modify the method's properties and/or values.

Start the wizard

Do one of the following:

Option	Description

This task describes how to update a REST method step that was changed.

Select the steps that you want to resolve (only relevant when opening the wizard through the Toolbox pane).

The left pane, Before Changes, shows the step's properties before they were resolved. The right pane, After Changes, shows the step's properties after they were resolved.
Proceed with the wizard, resolving or keeping the detected differences.
