Test Siebel Communication Driver using Communication Driver Test Engine

I have created a Custom Siebel CTI Driver that is working as expected in test environment. Before dispatching it to production, I want to load test My Driver. Siebel provides a standalone tool for testing named Communication Driver Test Engine. This tool requires a Definition (.def) file to load and use Driver. Oracle provides a sample .def file for default driver as example. I have run CommDriverTestEngine.exe providing this file and language code ENU. This starts agent and shows thread# for this agent. But after selecting other option it says no active agent. Snapshots for reference:Test Engine

Here is another one. When I select Agent Definition list. It views parameters from loaded .def file. Snapshot for reference:

Test Engine

Another problem is that CommDriverTestEngine.exe is not creating logs as described in def file. I have created a log file manually with same name in same directory with no luck. Same scenario is happening with My Driver testing. It starts Agent and shows Thread#, upon selecting option 4, it shows the definitions same as .def file. My Driver is not logging in its logs as well. Please suggest any fix.

EDIT:

Same question at Oracle Community

Solution

  • Figured it out guys. That was a trivial mistake. Siebel .def file contains Driver Parameters in following form:

    [Profile:<driver-profile-name>]

   LogLevel = "True"

   Driver   = <driver-name>

   [Driver:<driver-name>]

      Library Name   = <driver-lib-path>

      Icon File      = <icon-file>

      Channel Type   = <channel-type>

      Channel String = <channel-type-string>

      [Driver Parameters:<driver-name>]

             Driver:ExampleDriverParam_1 = <driver-param-1-value>

             Driver:ExampleDriverParam_1 = <driver-param-2-value>

             ...

    Note that this format states [Driver Parameters:<driver-name>] while Test Engine states it as [Driver Parameter]. Also note that Siebel .def file contains Library Name in [Driver:<driver-name>] section while Test Engine's .def file contains Library Name in [Driver Parameter] section. So the correct .def file must be like this:

    [Driver Parameter]

    Driver = <driver-name>

    Driver:LogicalID = <driver-logical-id-if-configured>

    Driver:CIMServer = <driver-cim-server-if-configured>

    Driver:CTCServer = <driver-ctc-server-if-configured>

    Driver:NetworkType = "ncacn_ip_tcp"

    Driver:SwitchType = "0"

    Channel Type = <channel-type>

    Channel String = <channel-type-string>

    Library Name = <driver-library-path>

    ...

    Now configure Job and Task for an Agent# and we're good to go.
