Postman body request with values from data file - postman

So i'm using postman, I have an URL that I can send POST request to, with a single json in the body where the key is "coupon" and the value is some number.
I want to run a test from postman that will place different numbers to the value of the coupon, and see all the responses that I will get.
I tried to read about the runner in postman, I figured that I can build a data file with all of the numbers for the coupon.
How can I replace the value in the post request with those numbers from the file data?
I'm trying to put a different number to this value, send it and get a response for each number.
Here
Thank you!


In the collection runner, load a CSV file that looks like:
value
123456
234567
345678
... and so on, one line for each coupon number. Then you replace the number in the key-value parameter editor with {{value}}. In the pre-request or test script, you could access it with data.value. See also the Postman documentation on working with data files.

Informatica Power center-- How to pass multiple values from transformation to HTTP transformation Base URL

Trying to pass multiple values in the HTTP transformation URL(Put method) but unable to do it. URL doesn't support query strings
Example:
URL: http://example.com/**page**
need to pass multiple values into the page(please see the URL) from another transformation. URL does not support the query string values. Any Idea how to pass multiple values to the URL.
Page values like "1234", "5678", "891". So the URL will be as shown below.
http://example.com/1234,
http://example.com/5678,
http://example.com/891
Thank you

If page numbers are finite,
then you can create that many http transformations in a mapping.
If page numbers are infinite or many, you need to-
create a list of pages, create a mapping with http transformations where http://example.com/$pageno
create a shell script which will iterate through above list, create a param file with $pageno=1234 etc. and kick off above mapping with this param file.
schedule this shell script using another workflow.

Problem in uploading multipart Amazon S3 Rest API using PostMan

I am trying to use the Amazon-S3 REST API to upload large file in chunks.
As per the API documentation here I formed my request with postman as follows.
After Initiating CreateMultipartUpload Post Request, I'm successfully getting UploadId for chunk put requests.
This is Working Fine.
I understand Multipart order, but when executing the step uploading partNumber & UploadId chunks using POSTMAN , I'm getting SHA256Mismatch error because POSTMAN calculating Content-MD5 for whole file not for chunks.
Header
Params
Body
I have found multiple solutions on various forums but those solutions didn't work.
Am I missing something here?

Successfully uploaded to Amazon S3 using PostMan using Amazon's multipart upload and the key (for me) was to add a Content-MD5 header manually, and paste in the Base64 encoded MD5 hash for that part (details below). This may not be the exact problem the OP was having, but still, I wanted to share how to use PostMan, provided you have good working IAM key id and secret to your Amazon S3 bucket.
First, I split a 9 MB "mytest.pdf" file into two parts to test this (I used Linux/WSL command: split -b 5242880 mytest.pdf) making sure the first part is larger than 5MB (the last part can be smaller than 5 MB).
Next, set up PostMan with following four requests:
CreateMultipartUpload (e.g., POST
https://{{mybucket}}.s3.{{myregion}}.amazonaws.com/mytest.pdf?uploads
UploadPart1 (e.g., PUT
https://{{mybucket}}.s3.{{myregion}}.amazonaws.com/mytest.pdf?partNumber=1&uploadId=297a2XMl9kNDqw1BaKl7jk6uK_Mop0mCV68TmWU2n8xjsrM6sgt0hu.93J92Qgw8yaEHlrlj0MSoc9ljmU3sD3dlQsGJixMq9hugPDRTkikM0KV6rmLdpmHjFcWzDEDO)
UploadPart2 (e.g., PUT
https://{{mybucket}}.s3.{{myregion}}.amazonaws.com/mytest.pdf?partNumber=2&uploadId=297a2XMl9kNDqw1BaKl7jk6uK_Mop0mCV68TmWU2n8xjsrM6sgt0hu.93J92Qgw8yaEHlrlj0MSoc9ljmU3sD3dlQsGJixMq9hugPDRTkikM0KV6rmLdpmHjFcWzDEDO)
CompleteMultipartUpload (e.g., POST
https://{{mybucket}}.s3.{{myregion}}.amazonaws.com/mytest.pdf?uploadId=297a2XMl9kNDqw1BaKl7jk6uK_Mop0mCV68TmWU2n8xjsrM6sgt0hu.93J92Qgw8yaEHlrlj0MSoc9ljmU3sD3dlQsGJixMq9hugPDRTkikM0KV6rmLdpmHjFcWzDEDO)
I pasted in my IAM key id and access key in the authorization section of PostMan (separate articles for that)
Ran the CreateMultipartUpload POST to get the UploadId from Amazon.
Next, calculated MD5 hash of each of my two file parts (I used 7-zip but use tool of your choice). Now, converted that result into Base64. However, I had to make sure that I ended up with 22 characters followed optionally by two equals signs == . When I converted MD5 as text to Base64, I ended up with a longer string, which ended with a single equal sign, not double (this is a sign that it is not encoded in a way that Amazon expects it and will produce an InvalidDigest error). For example, if you use 7-zip to calculate MD5 hash on file part and get the value 58942651efd0f5886810d04ed9df502f, and then use a tool such as the Bases64 encoder below and choose input at Text you get NTg5NDI2NTFlZmQwZjU4ODY4MTBkMDRlZDlkZjUwMmY= but if you choose "HEX" as the input, you get a smaller string WJQmUe/Q9YhoENBO2d9QLw== that is 24 characters (22 characters + 2 equals signs). That's the one you want.
(no implied endorsement of this tool - not affiliated https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/base64_encode.html)
If you get it wrong, Amazon will reply with the InvalidDigest error below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error>
<Code>InvalidDigest</Code>
<Message>The Content-MD5 you specified was invalid.</Message>
<Content-MD5>thisisbad</Content-MD5>
<RequestId>8274DC9566D4AAA8</RequestId>
<HostId>H6kSy4cl+54nMon1Hq6AGjmTX/MfTVMQQr8vEVNXUnPlfMtIt8HPdObfusckhBpwpG/CJ6ORWv16c=</HostId>
</Error>
Ran both UploadPart1 and 2
Finally ran CompleteMultipartUpload with copied and pasted Etag values from the Headers of the previous 2 requests
<CompleteMultipartUpload>
<Part>
<PartNumber>1</PartNumber>
<ETag>"c716d98e83db1edb27fc25fd03e0ae32"</ETag>
</Part>
<Part>
<PartNumber>2</PartNumber>
<ETag>"58942651efd0f5886810d04ed9df502f"</ETag>

</CompleteMultipartUpload>

How to reference other collections in postman

Is there a way to reference other collections from a specific collection. For example, if I have a file upload collection (something that uploads a file), I want to be able to use that from other collections. How would I reference the file upload?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
I have a collection where a file is uploaded and a calculation needs to be performed. The test or collection would go something like this where each step is a POST, GET, etc
Upload and run calculation:
Generate a token
make call
copy/save token value
Upload specific file (these would be 3 individual requests)
Upload file
Monitor upload status
Return ID of file uploaded
run calculation
use ID to pass as parameter
pass other values to set up calculation
monitor run
validate results
In another collection I need to validate uploaded files metadata is correct. Not directly related to the one above, but has some similarities
Generate a token
make call
copy/save token value
Upload specific file (these would be 3 individual requests)
Upload file
Monitor upload status
Get final result and return ID of file uploaded
Get me
validate metadata is correct.
Steps 1 and 2 are common functionality, there would be no difference there. How could I extract those two steps as modular components or functionality so I can reference them from any collection?
For additional clarity, we use ReadyAPI and are able to do 'Run Test Case' which can obviously run another test case. We've separated the functionality of token and file uploads into it's own test case and use it as a modular component. I'd like to achieve something similar with Postman.

Unfortunately Postman collections are working a little bit different.
But you can Merge your two collections to a single one, and execute it as one single collections.

GoCD compare output in json in bash

My situation is that i need to be able to get the gocd compare result in the form of json in bash, so that i can extract the commit ids from the output.
https://<go server url>/go/compare/<pipeline name>/<old build>/with/<new build>
The output of the above url in a GET (with authentication is an html document).
However i need to be able to get this in JSON format so that i can fetch the commit ids list from the comparison page output. Please suggest if there are any ideas.

In jmeter I need to send a file path with random file name, how to get that random file name to pass in a request

I am load testing a web application scenario in which:
1.) First I need to upload an excel file it will be parsed and sheets (tabs in excel) loads into a drop-down.
2.)Then selects an option in drop-down and clicks on import button.
3.) After clicking on import a new pop up open with some data loaded in the grid with "update to database" button. Now clicked on the update to database button.
This is my scenario of load test here I need to load test "import" and "update to database" requests
In this scenario 4 requests works.
In point 1: servicename url is: /xxx/xxx/uploadLoader.aspx
in params are: 2 viewstates, button, appuser, company, filename (with multi-part data)
response: it returns HTML of file upload control
Point 2 using 2 requests:

Note: But if I hit the same request again then it displays response as below that are different from above response (first-time response). Because the file name changes every time in case of the manual but I am not able to get the new file name to pass it in JMeter request.
second-time response:

My issue is in second-time response it is not showing correct response as the file name is changing randomly and I am not able to trace it to pass changed file path to the request.
Is there any way to handle it? Please help me out, how can I load test it with an authentic response.

${__RandomString(6,a12zeczclk, MYVAR)}
will return a random string of 6 characters picked from a12zeczclk set and store the result in MYVAR, MYVAR will contain string like 2z22ak or z11kce, …
see:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#__RandomString

Looking into
Could not find file \u0027C:\Websites\cPayv8html\temp\admin\001\admin115.248.100.682552016525264rm_claimsmain.xml\u0027.
It seems that when you upload the file, it's being stored somewhere in a temporary location and when the file is imported into the database - it's deleted. So it's classic "correlation" example where you need to get a dynamic parameter from previous response and add it to the next request.
I would suggest carefully inspect server responses and to get the temporary filename from there.
As your server responds with JSON I would suggest to use
JSON Path PostProcessor - if you're using JMeter 3.0
JSON Path Extractor - if you're sitting on a previous JMeter version
JSON Path Syntax is very easy, check the following references:
JSONPath - XPath for JSON
JSONPath Online Evaluator
Advanced Usage of the JSON Path Extractor in JMeter
